Which Pelican Case for HVX + M2 + Extras

[Matthew R. Rodwell]

We never check our cameras into a commercial airplane. If you've heard (and felt) that familiar, pronounced series of crashing thumps from under your feet when you're waiting to pull back from the gate, then you can guess why. That'd be the baggage guy shot-putting your gear across the cargo hold in what must be a friendly world-wide baggage-handler competition for force, distance and utter shock value.

Regardless of what type of case you utilize, there is simply too much rough handling in the cargo area of an airplane for sensitive equipment like an HD camera.

We ride our HVX and other OIS cameras lens up.

LOL Well as a baggage handler in the US Air Force I can assure you that I would never check my camera. OverlandFilms really did a good job explaining the process. I have witnessed pelican cases falling off the top of the baggage conveyor and crashing on the flightline. No one seems to know what the word Fragile means, or is it the Italian "Fragilla" oh well regardless scholars have lost the definition centuries ago.

a 1650 MIGHT hold all that. just depends on how much negative space you want between components. but if you add a mattebox, youre gonna need a second case...
