The Ninja case has arrived...

[Evin Grant]

Just recieved the first of our Ninja ATA cases, made by Anvil/Calzone, they are the XLT construction so fully loaded they are 50Lbs and capable of being checked without overage fees.

This case will hold...
Red body built with either ET base, top cheeses plate and handle two sets of 12" rods attached.
Red Cradle, quick plate & belt batter plate
EVF and LCD w/long Noga attached!
ET EVF Mount
3x Red drives or CF card Pelicans (Weight might exceed 50lbs with three RDs)
Extra goodies, remote release, audio cables, Nikon mount.

Here it is on a rolling Pelican 1650 for reference.

cool...it shouldnt be hard to add wheels or attach a trolly.
how much does your case costed?
and should be no problem to replace the craddle with a lens i guess.

 

[Brandon Fraley]

looks great! I talked with the Anvil guys at cine gear, cool people. How much was this case?

 

[HDPioneers.com]

Looks good. I'm looking for something more solid than my pelicans. Are those custom cutouts? Where can we order?

 

[Evin Grant]

It's a custom layout I designed for the needs of the Ninjas. The case was just under $400.

 

[Kevin Wild]

Umm...blue?

Seriously, this looks like something I will buy. Can you share order information? Was this custom or something they will be selling stock?

The XLT only comes in Black or Blue. Blue's my favorite color, there will eventually be Ninja stars on it anyway.

 

[Noah Kadner]

The nice thing about anvil is they will cut their cases to fit any custom design you want. I had a really sweet one made for my Sony VX1000 wayyy back in the day. I just traced the outline of the camera onto a sheet of white paper and they took it from there.

Blue's my favorite color, there will eventually be Ninja stars on it anyway.

Hopefully of the plastic decal variety. Something tells me DHS would not approve actual throwing stars on a case.

I'll talk to Richard at Anvil and see if he can make a specific order number for you all to reference when you call.

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

Kick ass Evin!

I want ... a bunch!

 

[Kevin Wild]

I would like a handle and wheels, though. Like this one they make:

[Evin Grant]

Thought about it, but it added too much weight, when you fly a lot the overages add up quick. Keeping the whole shebang under 50lbs was a primary consideration.

 

[Mike Prevette]

I'd love to order one as well. I mainly use a pelican, but having an Anvil case would come in handy for shipping on some jobs, and anytime I rent my camera without me.

 

[zak forrest]

I want two =]

Is it possible to put a lock on this case?

 

[Jason Diamond]

i def want one if not more...order number would be sweet.

 

[Derth Adams]

Evin, do the cutouts for the cradle and quickplate include space for an attached ET 15mm topmount/universal mount?

 

[Evin Grant]

Yes, that is how they are in my case. They should also accommodate a 19mm red universal attached.

Nice case Evin,
What are the internal dimensions?

I'd be thinking about a slight deviation to include kit lens and 18" rods.

Is the EVF conpressing the rubber eye cushion?
Would like to find a spot for 2 x side mounts plus spare universal mount.

another reason I like the dimensions/deep layout is whilst the configuration is good for shipping, I'd also want to pop out the foam and replace with foam for quick draw configuration.
