When I go on trips, I'm packing bag after bag of camera gear. It got to the point last summer that I just left everything in the camper rather than haul it in and out every weekend - not a terribly good idea.
Anyhow, this year I'm going to pack it so I can get it all in a single trip.
For this I got a Pelican 1780 Transport Case.
Its a large case: 42x22x15
Built in casters:
Instead of opening on a hinge, it breaks into two halves. Sitting on it here is one of the D2Xs with the 200-400 f/4 mounted:
The tripods fit perfectly. Later this weekend, I will add some kind of straps to keep them in place when the halves are together:
Got a bit of a squeeze to do with the lenses though, I guess. I was hoping to store them in their cases but its not going to happen, I think
Tomorrow, I guess I'll lose the cases and start cutting foam. Maybe have to use some partitions.
