FAQs
What is the exact internal volume of the case?
The case offers a total internal capacity of 35 litres.
Can I use this case without the foam inserts?
While possible, it is highly recommended to use the foam inserts. They are crucial for preventing your equipment from shifting and absorbing impact, ensuring optimal protection.
Is the case suitable for extreme weather conditions?
Yes, the case is constructed from sturdy polypropylene and is waterproof up to 1 meter, as well as being brine and acid resistant, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
How do I customize the cubical foam insert?
Plan the placement of your equipment on the foam. Carefully tear out the pre-cut cubes along the perforation lines to create custom-fit compartments for each item.
What does the pressure relief valve do?
The pressure relief valve automatically equalizes the air pressure inside and outside the case. This is particularly useful for air travel, preventing the case from becoming difficult to open due to pressure changes.
What are the dimensions of the case?
Specific external dimensions are not provided in the product details, but the internal volume is 35 litres, accommodating large camera equipment.
How is the case secured?
The case is secured with four robust snap closures that ensure a tight and safe seal.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open after air travel.
Release pressure using the integrated pressure equalization valve. Gently press the valve cap to allow air to escape.
Foam insert does not fit equipment well.
Carefully tear out more cubical foam sections or adjust the placement of equipment within the existing cutouts. Consider re-planning the layout for a tighter fit.
Case does not close securely.
Ensure no equipment is obstructing the closure mechanism. Check that all four snap closures are properly aligned and engaged.
Water seeps into the case.
Verify that all snap closures are fully secured. Inspect the seal around the lid for any damage or debris that might be compromising the water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the case using the four snap closures.
- Remove the foam inserts. Identify the nubbed mat (usually for the lid), the pre-cut cubical foam insert, and the two straight foam mats.
- For the cubical foam insert, plan the layout of your equipment. Carefully tear out the pre-cut cubes to create custom compartments for each item (camera body, lenses, flash units, etc.). It is often best to trace the equipment outline first.

Care:
- Clean the exterior and interior with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Ensure the case is completely dry before storing valuable equipment inside.
- Periodically check the foam inserts for wear and tear.
- Keep the pressure equalization valve clean and free from debris.
