If I was planning on using them on a plane, that would be different.

Alan C The expensive options already exist: https://www.caseclub.com/ It's a lot easier for me to make money wrangling computers, and I don't have to deal with all of the annoyances of running a business, like customers who think they know more about what they want than I do. > On 11-Dec-23 09:26 AM, Larry Colen wrote: >> >>> On Dec 10, 2023, at 10:22 PM, Alan C wrote: >>> >>> Very nifty.

Re: First camera case
I envy your energy to do this complicated job. Fortunately I no longer make long trips by car.

I just finished the first case, for the majority of my full frame glass and the K-1. I made it with a $30 case from Home Depot (I already had a bunch of cases in this system), and about $20 worth of Kaizen foam.
