camera + 35mm storage case

I'm having a Pelican 1650 case delivered next week which should fit my whole rig quite nicely inside, including the mattebox. I'll post pictures when I can (my little P&S was stolen in Cabo last week and I'm still waiting for my new Nikon d300 to arrive). Bummer about my camera 'cause I had some pictures and movies of Adam Sandler's new film being made on the beach (really funny ones of him, or most likely his heavily-bearded double, dancing on the outside of a helicopter as it's taking off)...

Oh well. C'est la vie...

I've got a Peli 1650 for my rig. It contains everything I got (except for my assistant bag when shooting on film). Camera, SGPRO, lenses, Follow Focus, Batteries, 7" LCD, cables and soon my Mattebox will fill the place up completely. Very good, solid case.
 
Quick favor to ask.... for everyone mentioning what case they are using for their complete (unassembled) Letus Extreme rig, please mention the camera you are using. This will help with others who have the same camera.

Good thread (I've been looking around myself; I have the HVX 200 and I have my eye on this: http://casesbysource.com/pc/3R3214-15B-CW/SKBMIL/SKB+Military+Standard+Case+with+Foam+&+Wheels.html

I'd really like to find something that will fit the HVX 200 with letus and Redrock MB attached and though this case is larger than I need (and expensive) it might do the trick.

I will keep searching and taking recommendations.

Can anyone post pictures of their cases and the set up inside? It would give a great idea of what's in there and how.

Thanks.

Oh, you mean something like this? http://www.zacuto.com/0315lg.jpg

I have several Pelicans and they are good but I now feel that the Storm cases are a better value. They are just as good and a lot cheaper.

This model would be too short if you wanted to keep the Letus mounted but there are similar models, just longer and more expensive.

I use an im2975, and it holds the camera, rails, letus all in one piece. There is a cutout for the marshall and battery, a cutout for the matte box, a cutout for the camera batteries, and a cutout for misc. cables and gadgets. I then have a smaller storm case that holds my 6 primes, some warm cards, canned air, and cleaning supplies.

They aren't cheap. I think my storm cases all together were like 500 bucks. But then again, do you want to look like a pro?

I do not work for other people ever. I just shoot my own stuff. Even so, it all needs to look pro.
 
Thanks for the tip Henry, I will check that out.

That's the same model I have been considering Adam, I will have to check that out.

Thanks,

Dan
