Protective case for the 8x20 camera

[pound]

....They way I look at it insurance always costs money and risk is directly proportional to cost. I personally opt to take that risk out of play but each person makes that decision independently.

I agree fully with what you say. There is a lack of suitable bags/cases locally and it would be very expensive to ship them from US or overseas without knowing how well it will fit. Meanwhile this will help. You can probably see in the video that I also made a DIY GG protector too

If you have the ability to read a tape measure give yourself an inch on the measurements in each direction and you will be fine. The people that makes cases relate to these directives. That is what I did with my case for my 8x20 and 11x14. People ship globally every day and expensive is a relative term. Figure it out and get the legitimate hard sided case that ULF mandates because everything in this arena is expensive.

The concept and manner of construction seem adaptable to other areas than ULF photo gear. I can imagine a pack pack liner customized for large spotting scopes/mioni tripods and other types of things.

laminating loop frabric to the interior would be helpful in preserving the foam. An outer layer of heavier fabric would make this a durable case. I recognize that these additions add complexity, cost and weight.

In any case: This is a great idea and the project is well executed . . .Well Done!

I used something like this for my 10x20 camera:

Thanks ! I have just bought a big piece of thick canvas cloth today to serve as the outer layer. No idea how will I get around doing it but I do know how to sew. Probably will secure with compression straps with buckles.

Hey Pound! I would appreciate it very much if you could provide an update to this project. Did you ever figure out how to make a canvas cover?

How did it work out, and are you still using this for your 8x20, or have you found some other case?

Lets remember Pound's solution, looks good to me

My 7X17 solution was at The Container Store, I brought a tape measure, it fits perfectly and needs no foam at all

Nice solution!
where did you find the film holder sleeves?

Custom made by LFPF member Daniel Stone, they are padded

I think he is still in business

Nice solution!
