$285 for a bit of foam thats been machine cut to hold your camera bits!

i repeat $285! come on ZACUTO you have to be kidding!

from a foam supplier you could probably buy 200 bits of foam that size and for another $50 get any holes you want cut in them.

"never buy a $1 bottle of coke for $1000" (unless you are actually that crazed with flying a flag)

sorry for the rant :smile:

Yeah, I could definitely see it if they were individually hand-cut by the Zacuto girls, but this is insane.

yeah i laughed for a bit and then felt rather angry
three boo's for WACUTO the clown!

For half of Zacuto's price, you can get twice as much foam along with a free watertight rolling case to protect your foam from the elements:

i wonder if they use protective packaging when shipping you the foam
example:

beautiful russian dolls! They call them "matreshka" and they cost much more than foam inserts from zacuto
Have you considered any trade-in with zacuto?

..they cost much more than foam inserts from zacuto

Uhmm...no.

And no, Zacuto isn't insane, someone who actually buys that foam insert is insane.
