Long case for folding frame

[Benjamin Rowland]

I have a Vulcan that I need a travel case for. The Vulcan folds up like a Skyjib. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Ben Rowland

I have heard of people using gun cases for this. You might want to have a look there.

Good call, Stacky.

I'm thinking about one of these that Mike Fortin at Hoverfly mentioned to me:

Ordered it. I'll post pics when I get it sorted.

Just yesterday I was discussing with a client how long I have had my Pelican cases for my Photography lighting and cameras. 2 cases that are now 20 years old and have done extensive travel over the years and are still in great condition.

I'm getting a custom case with foam for my carbon core 950 from Philly Cases. Should be done in about a week or so. I was looking at the 1770 before but this ended up being cheaper and able to fit exactly what I need. The peli case will be water proof however which is a nice touch for going to less hospitable locations.

Hey Ben,

Next time you pack the Vulcan and stuff it in the Peli Case would you mind snapping some pics?

Here you go. Shot this on my phone while packing for St. Kitts.

These are on sale in store at most Walmarts for 69.99... I bought one and plan to use it with my T810. Not a Pelican but not far behind. Tons of youtube videos comparing this case with a pelican.

Thanks for pic Ben. Looks great.

This is the Plano Case... Not a Pelican but for the Price it is hard to beat. You will need to disconnect the GPS or lay it down.

We got the aerial media pros case, it's so nice. You only disconnect 4 of the 8 arms, has enough room for me to get in it. has wheels, handle, like those stage cases you see on set all the time. it's really expensive but really baddo. Custom cut foam inside, that harder closed cell stuff... It is at least 18" tall

Here is what I went for. Custom case for my carboncore. Worked out well because the company is around the corner from me, I don't know how much it would be to ship this case. They did a great job customizing to exactly my needs.

wow! super nice. ...and pricey. But still really nice.

 

[maxwelltub]

Well it's more then half the price of the amp case, and it's a lot of expensive gear so it's well worth it. With media credentials its only 50 bucks to fly with it also. So when you think about what your hauling and where, it pays itself off.

How do you transport your gimbal?
