Which case protects your baby?

I'm looking for a case right now... how is the 1600 with regards to size? Does the camera fit good + a few accessories?
 
HKP - 3 by Portabrace (the case/backpack).

I like it, only thing I would recommend is to possibly get some extra foam or something to provide that extra amount of protection and safety. Otherwise, the whole backpack thing is great, since it allows me to carry my camera, equipment, and tripod all at once without too much difficulty (other option would be to have to make multiple trips, which means my equipment might have to be left alone occasionally, and that makes me saaad :(). :)

I'd also recommend getting the strap (I think it's called the HP-40 or something). Good luck with your decision!
 
Pelican 1510.
Just enough room for the cam, a couple P2 cards, tapes, batteries and the firestore or P2Store.
And it is carry on capable!
 
i have a pelican 1510, but most of the time its in my cinebags production bag, cause i dont need to take the rods and mattebox off when its in there.
 
I really like the 1600. It is a little big for some people. But I can fit my HVX, 3 Batts, AC Adapter, Shotgun Mic, P2 cards, P2 Store, Zoom Controler, and Wide angle. And I sill have a little room left.
 
I have the 1600 as well. No wheels, but it isnt THAT heavy. Be a man, like your sister and have some muscle. (and no im not saying YOUR sister is a man, but that would be funny.)
 
ha ha.. just so you know my cinebags case can carry 4 1600's in it.. they actually stopped making them that big cause people loaded them up so much they couldnt lift them off the ground.

oh and my sister could still kick my ass.
 
Seems to fit fine in my Pelican 1550. This is the case I had for the DVX, and all I had to do was core out some more pluck and tuck foam to the HVX outline. Still room for the batteries, charger, my USB-to-Go backup, a mic and various other odd items. I can even put it in with the mic holder installed and have room to close without stressing it.

I printed Brian's picture for the plucking process and it worked great. The only change I made was I placed the battery charger against the case for a little extra space. The case is hard enough to protect it and space is limited.

My goal with the 1510 was to have a nice little case for just the camera, P2 cards, charger, cables and a couple emergency DV tapes. It works great for that.
 
I'm using a Petrol, exellent for traveling and the case fits the basic accessories. Bought mine on B&H, fairly priced and the package also included a raincover. Recomended.
