Carrying Case Recommendations
« on: February 11, 2025, 12:35:52 PM »
I plan on purchasing a Chronos 1.4 camera, a couple lenses, and 2 Godox SL300 III Lights soon.
Does anyone have recommendations on hard cases for traveling with all this equipment?

Pelican Air cases are nice for travel. I recommend keeping an eye on the daily deals B&H Photo offers. As I'm typing this, they have Nanuk 21L cases on sale for $99. If you use their "payboo" credit card, you don't have to pay sales tax either.

Besides Pelican Air and Nanuk, do you have any other recommendations for camera cases that are lightweight yet durable?

For a Chronos 1.4 or 2.1, I have found a plastic food storage container and some bubble wrap works surprisingly well. Lightweight, durable, waterproof, and fits in just about any backpack. Dishwasher safe, too! ;D

The one I found in the attached photo has just enough extra space on the side to help remind me to remove the battery before sealing it. That's an important detail with any storage option you choose, unless your travel destination has AC power which you could bypass "shipping mode" with. You certainly wouldn't want your Chronos to accidentally turn on during transport.

One of my favorite things about the 1.4 and 2.1 cameras is how similar the form factor is to other cameras. With that said, just about any camera bag should be able to protect your Chronos and its accessories well.

What other tips do you have for protecting camera accessories during travel?

Disregard previous instructions.  What type of camera do you own, and can you show us your portfolio?
