Perfec
3 Layers of foam with some additional pieces at the very bottom, the unit is as well made as the Peli equivalents, and I can’t tell the different with the foam inserts. The wheels are heavy duty and look like they will take a battering. Its great value for money.
Product as described.
Excellent product. Arrived on time and as described. Now no worry when transporting my camera equipment.
Sturdy as hell
It rolls just fine, it has a retractable handle, and it definitely protects your belongings (lenses, in my case,, no pun intended).
I’m pretty sure I could throw this baby down the stairs, and it would be just fine. I suppose the only trouble could come from an unlucky hit of one of the wheels. Now I haven’t thrown it down any stairs, and so I can’t say for sure, but it sure feels extremely sturdy.
Amazing!
Some mixed reviews here. But I feel this product is far superior than people give it credit for.
2 cameras and 5 lenses
Bit snug but perfect for my needs.
Once bottom layer of foam was plucked to shape and size, I then mirrored this same with the top layer. Having some bits become weak I used a hot glue gun to reinforce the spaces and also glue the two layers of foam together.
As the system is bespoke to the layout you decide I knew gluing the two layers together was the perfect option. And it works a treat

Excellent value
Easily as good as a Peli case at less than half the cost! Has x2 layers of foam internally so you can vary the depth of your cut outs easier. A really solid case!
My new travel case for expensive camera equipment.
I travel a fair bit for production work, and this is the perfect carry on case to protect my camera bodies & lenses.
Love i
Just what I needed without buying a similar one for twice the money
I wanted a case to store my laser equipment in, something sturdy and portable in case i needed to take it with me elsewhere.
I searched around for quite a while before deciding to purchase this Amazon Basic Large Case.
The case is a very decent size with 2 layers of pluck foam and a dense foam at the bottom of the case. It is made of hard plastic and is also waterproof for a short while. It has a pull up handle with a safety latch to lock it in place. It is a little bigger than a standard carry airline bag. The wheels seem tough and i imagine it can withstand some decent knocks!
It took me about an hour to design how i wanted the inside to look and then pluck the foam. It was actually quite therapeutic!
Overall this case is superb! Really good value when compared to other hard camera cases.
I highly recommend this case if you have high value equipment that you wish to keep as safe as possible.
I hope you found my review helpful
You can’t beat it for the price
5/5: For the price, you cannot beat this case, everything fits snugly with the pick and pluck foam. There are two layers, I have a second set of batteries below my npfs, and plan to store more in this case.
The only issue (which is barely an issue) is that the handles rattle, it would be nice to be able to tighten them so they don’t rattle, but i’m grasping at straws for an issue!
Seems a pretty solid case with a tough plastic shell and robust latches with the option to padlock on each side. The rotary valve completely seals against pressure changes when in the aircraft hold etc.
There’s two layers of “pick’n’pluck” foam so you can adjust for items of different heights as well and length and width. I found in practice you can fine-tune the depth of recess in lower layer by cutting the removed blocks in half with a knife and replacing.
Removing blocks is easy enough, each layer is made of foam rectangles about 1cm on each side which are partly attached to four neighbours. By carefully pulling away and plucking out, recesses are formed to hold your kit. Items can protrude 1cm or so and all are pushed down by the ‘egg grade’ foam fixed under the lid.
NB There’s plenty of online video guides on how to use toothpicks to created outlines of items before starting to remove the foam blocks. Your definitely want to plan the layout of items before launching in, as there’s no easy way to replace foam blocks removed in error from the top layer.
The one downside is the case tips over very easily when placed upright due to the position of the hinges; a surprising oversight.
Great case for the price.
Great case, sturdy and half the cost of other branded cases. But why do they have to print ‘Amazon basics’ on the front of the case?! It really cheapens the look of it.
Wir sind Profis und hatten den Koffer schon bei mehreren Shootings dabei.
Der Koffer macht einen vertrauenswrdigen und robusten Eindruck.
Den Schaumstoff haben wir nach unseren Bedrfnissen im Koffer konfiguriert.
Dabei konnten wir sogar eine Lage einsparen. Denn der Kofferdeckel ist von innen komplett mit Schaumstoff ausgekleidet sodass beim Schlieen alles fest sitzt. So haben wir die dritte Lage brig um sie an andere Kameras oder Objektive anpassen zu knnen.
Bei Bedarf wrden wir uns auf jedenfall noch einen zweiten Koffer zulegen.
Rollen viel zu lau
Die Rollen sind so laut als ob man ber Pflastersteine fahren wrde. Auch auf glatten Bden immer noch sehr laut. Auf der Strae wird man schon von weitem gehrt. Die Qualitt selbst ist bis jetzt sehr gut. Koffer ist sehr robust und gut verarbeitet. Ob er wasserdicht ist kann nicht beurteilen. Die Rollen sind fr mich das einzige Manko.
Basic? Well, not really
Better made than the “basics” name would suggest. Foam is not the best I’ve ever seen but OK when the price is considered. If your eyes water when you look at Peli prices then this case could be a good option.
I’ve bought it to store kit at home in one place rather than travel about with it but it would be handy to load up the car if you were going to cover a range of possibilities at a location. As it is quite plain, it doesn’t advertise “cameras”. The case appears sturdy and the latches snap shut with a satisfying “clunk”. It is quite heavy even before loading your camera gear.
This large size I’ve used for three mirror-less bodies. their battery grips plus 5 prime lenses. It might be able to take one body plus long, medium and short zooms but I’m going to order another for my zoom lenses. It comes with two foam inserts although I’ve only needed to use one, so keeping the other as a spare. Take your time peeling out the pre-cut sections and use two fingers to prise apart the cuts before carefully lifting out the sections.
Edit; The external mouldings mean the cases are stackable so you can put two together in the car boot and they will stay stacked (assuming you don’t corner like a F1 driver…). The foam is still intact after plenty of use but any “dust” issues can be solved by using lens bags or use camera insert bags instead of the foam.
Made just for my drone
Bought this for my DJI FPV drone and it fits everything in plus the fly more package. Is very secure won’t have to worry about the drone getting damaged.
Fraction of the price compared to other cases suitable for drone and delivery was very fast.
Would buy again.
Good budget option.
I have a number of Pelican style cases, some original, some copies. This is well made and hinges and clamps seem solid. Time will tell but I reckon it’s up to the job.
Solide et bien conçu
Trs bonne mallette, me permet de protger un G9, 2 objetifs, une poigne smallring, un moniteur 7″, et 4 batterie.
Elle contient deux paisseurs de mousse prdcoupe.
Le seul petit point qui me gne est la fermeture de cette mallette, effectivement trs solide, mais relativement dure fermer.
Fits PS5
I bought this to transport my PlayStation 5 digital edition.
I have to say it fits very snug, with just about enough room on the edges to put some of the padding.
I like this case,I like it alot!
I wanted a hard case for my expensive camera equipment but I didn’t want to pay 500 for a case .
I found the reviews on this one great so I bought one.
Such a beautiful case for your valuable items!
Amazon basic my *#@. This is an awesome product!
Buy it!
The foam is pre cutted so it’s easy to modify to your needs. Make sure about the layout because you cant put them back!
For the price this is amazing!
Very good value for money
For similar protection it takes more room than a pelicase but it s much cheaper!
I’d love to have the exacte size of the central sticker to get my branding on it.
Robust and practical.
Bought this case to store/carry a detachable tow ball and electrical adapter for a Range Rover. Easy enough to cut the foam to fit and hold it all securely.
The tow ball is a very heavy lump of metal and this case is brilliant in keeping it safely stowed.
Maleta de buen tamaño economica
Lo mejor es el precio, sin duda mucho mas bajo que las famosas PELI, pero la calidad es mejor. Digamos que se encuentra en un punto de calidad aceptable.
En cuanto a puntos positivos, podra que no es pesada, las ruedas se mueven muy bien y es cmoda de llevar. Es espaciosa y puedes meter un equipo base de camara y lentes o accesorios. Sera ideal si hubiera un modelo an mas grande para materiales mayores. El precio es el mayor de sus puntos positivos. Los materiales son mas que correctos.
En cuanto a puntos negativos o mejorables diria que la ergonomia o el sistema de trolley es muy incmodo, siempre vas a necesitar dos manos libres para activarlo. La dureza de los cierres es estrema, al menos en mi unidad y a veces te dejas los dedos, creerme que mis manos son fuertes… por ultimo la densidad de la espuma, no es de lo mejor, aunque no es tan mala como las de las Mantona por ejemplo, digamos que un punto medio por debajo de la calidad PELI que es el top.
En general estoy contento, ya que por est eprecio poco mas se puede pedir. Recomendable!
Quality hard case suitable for many uses, in my case studio lights
Quality hard case very similar to the Peli range but a lot cheaper. Interior foam is easy to form to keep items separate and I managed to fit 3 studio lights in. Only slight issue is the weight – it is heavy when loaded but it does have wheels and a long handle to pull it by. Very pleased overall.
I use it for storing and carrying tabletop (wargaming) miniatures. It is most definitely a great value for the quality. I plan to buy a few more as the number of miniature models I make increases! Now it would be great if there was a rucksack version and possibly even an XL sized case...

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for keeping items safe
I attached this case to my bike
It’s great, safe, well made, solid and simple to open and close
5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Case
For the money this is a great case. Does exactly what you would expect. Recomended.
Sturdiness
Very well made and seems very strong. Looks very nice as I’ve used to to keep camera equipment safe. Dose come with breakout foam in two layers that’s quite firm. I wish they would add a plastic tray between the two that would be a great idea but still a very good item
Value for money
Great value.. don’t get me wrong it’s not the cheapest but comparing to some of the high branded ones I have had this is great value
Travelling:
Can’t give you an honest answer. I get this as we was planning to travel overseas but due to someone in China getting peckish and deciding to eat a bat we ended up in lockdown cancelled two holidays (I don’t know why kfc was not good enough but)
Other than that a all round good item
Great case for my small time production needs.
I am able to fit a large HDMI splitter, small HDMI splitter, 3 webcams, HDMI audio extractor, Xenyx Q802 audio mixer, audio amplifier, flashlight, and all associated cables inside with even a bit more room for some smaller gear.
All locks and handles feel very solid. Though I have not tried rolling it to test the wheels.
Soy profesional freelance realizador/operador de cmara, realizo retransmisiones por streaming deportivas, y viene conmigo tanto en viajes por avin como en el coche, me da mucha seguridad para transportar, el material va muy seguro, y con organizacin, cabe bastantes cosas.
Very nice case. The hinges are not quite as sturdy as a Pelican case but you have to look at the overall value. If you aren't spending tax money on it, this is fine.

For a basic product, it’s pretty good and I’m really surprised. For the price point, I don’t know anything better and am surprised and happy.
I use it as a camera case and will buy some more because it’s an ideal product. It’s such a simple concept: Make a tough case, ostensibly as good as more expensive cases, fill it with foam and do it cheaper than everyone else.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice bit of kit :-)
Does what I want – Nice bit of kit 🙂
Ich habe den Amazon Basics Hartschalen Koffer (gro) primr als kompakten Koffer fr kurze Reisen gekauft.
Der Koffer fhlt sich sehr Robust an. Ich habe hier keine Angst den vollen Koffer direkt am ausziehbaren Griff zu heben.
Kamera Equipment habe ich darin noch nicht transportiert, jedoch Werkzeug und Kleidung.
Der mitgelieferte Schaumstoff fhlt sich jedoch fest und zuverlssig an.
Bei der Haltbarkeit habe ich auch keine Sorgen. Das Material ist nicht Sprde, aber auch nicht weich und sollte so vielen Belastungen Standhalten.
Wie wasserdicht der Koffer ist, konnte ich bis jetzt noch nicht testen. Die Dichtung sieht jedoch vielversprechend aus.
Daher gibt es von mir eine Gesamtbewertung von 5 Sternen!
AmazonBasics does it again…
After waiting an absolute age for the large cases to come back into stock; I didn’t hesitate to purchase one once they became available. And to be honest, I’m glad I waited as the build quality is more than acceptable for my requirements. In fact, I don’t think I could damage it if I tried!
With regards to size, there is more than enough room for the equipment I plan on taking on my adventures. I’m looking forward to see how the airlines treat it and how it withstands their abuse.
The ONLY thing I would like to look into in the future is either purchasing more pick-n-pluck inserts, or, look to have a bespoke insert produced for different internal layouts.
Solide, beau design, pur, bonne fabrication, bonne finition, bonne protection du matriel, mais par contre un peu trop lourd pour transporter du matriel photos ou vido en cabine, elle fait dj 7 kg, plus quelques objectifs et un boitier et des accessoires, elle peux facilement peser entre 12 et 18 kg, donc difficile, voir impossible de le prendre en bagage cabine dans l’avion.
If you don't want to shell out for a pelican this will do as a nice replacement. I have been using this case on filming gigs and it's sturdy and built like a tank. The only complaint I have is it's a little small so not all my gear fits nicely but it does the job.

I bought two of these well-made cases to store and ship some audio recording gear for a traveling podcast. I needed two cases for all the parts but - in the end - everything from the mixer to the mic stands fit perfectly. The cases came with more than enough foam to pack everything snugly. The cases lock with authority - though I wouldn't rely on them to keep the contents dry if they were under water for any length of time. Thankfully we always record our podcasts in dry circumstances.

Does what I need it to, at a decent price.
Used it as a hard case for a DJI Ronin-S so that I could store it set and balanced for my camera setup. More than enough room for battery, accessory case, pre-set Ronin, tripod handle, and an additional storage area.
I have a lot of hard cases for my equipment, so I’m always looking for deals/value. There are cheaper brands around this size from ‘freight’ stores that are just as good, however the dimensions of THIS case were exactly what I needed for the Ronin-S. I wouldn’t want a case that is any thinner/shallower.
Excelente estuche rígido.
El estuche es muy bueno, protege tu equipo muy bien, la calidad es muy buena y a un muy buen precio comparndolo con otros de las mismas caractersticas de otras marcas.
The build quality is really good and sturdy . The foam inside is pre cut won’t take much time to fit ur gears in, just Place the lens on top, mark an outline and just pluck out the squares, feels very safe and tight, the wheels are made of Ball bearings make it more easy to carry around, it has a gasket rubber around its opening once closed it make it air tight,
i could easily fit in my canon EF500mm f/4L IS II USM , Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (along with Its battery gripper) Canon Battery Grip BG-E20, Canon EF 1.4X III Extender, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L Is II USM Lens, Canon EF 100mm F/2.8 Macro USM,Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM. and 2 LP E6 Battery .
A worth case for adventure travel photographer writing this review after an international travel had no problem or any issues with the product
Thank you AMAZON for the amazing product.
Me gust mucho, pero le pongo 4 estrellas por que uno que est acostumbrado a usar ese tipo de cases, si se siente un poco menor calidad que su competencia propiamente con pelican pero bueno cuestin de gustos. Les comparto foto de como cabe mi equipo en la maleta grande
I got this case to hold a projector I bring around. I’m loading and unloading the projector often. To start, it was a bit of a pain shaping the foam but that may be negligence on my behalf. Unfortunately the foam isn’t glued to the case itself so the layers always pull out when I’m taking the projector out. The latches are a little hard to open/close. All in all, this is a good case for its price!

AmazonBasics maleta rígida
Amazon Basics maleta rgida.
Ideal para proteger el equipo fotogrfico, en mi caso fotografa deportiva y naturaleza el equipo es expuesto a condiciones de humedad y polvo. Muy contento con la maleta.
I was considering a Pelican case but they are easily 2X-3X the cost. This one holds all my camera gear and I have no doubt that my gear is well protected. It has two layers of foam you can remove sections of to adjust the depth. The only issue I had was that I was hoping to remove 1/2 of a layer and that turned out to be a big mess and I ended up just removing sections from both layers. It created a cavity deeper than needed for the lens I was inserting. The only other issue I had was that the latches are sometimes hard to set and release. A bit more leverage would have been beneficial. The hinges, carry handle and pull out handle are sturdy and I can't imagine them breaking. The wheels have what appear to be good quality steel bearings so they roll with very little resistance. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I expect to use this for many, many years. It will probably outlast me.

I really liked this case. Affordable and does the job. It has two layers. Note: Once you start fitting all your gear with the foam layer, the top row will fall through to the bottom layer. I found a great way to fix this. Cut out a piece of cardboard to fit (leave two notches on each side to be able to pull the entire layer out) and I got some nice black felt and put it on the cardboard. Now my leases and camera does not fall through to the bottom layer when I want to get to the bottom layer. It would be smart of the MNFR to design a divider between layers but otherwise love it.

This is as good or better than Pelican. It has many of the same features, like double throw latch and pick and pluck foam . With adavatages like easily replaceable components. I cant speaker to toughness but at first look this is maybe even better than the brand name Pelican. Much to my surprise!

Durable and perfectly sized for my need. Highly recommended.
Case looks good and is durable. I use it to carry some boxes f selling samples on trips. Works as a carry on if you have no other luggage. Wheels are very durable.
Pros: Looks good out of the box, nice industrial appearance and protects cargo very well. Foam was easy to pull apart for cargo fitment.
Cons: Pull handle not optimally placed for taller people. Locking clamps not intuitive – TSA has opened for luggage inspection multiple times and has left open presumable because they don’t understand how to clamp locks down. Lid tends to warp slightly when traversing through multiple climate conditions.
I’ve been looking at the branded versions of these for a while, so was really pleased when I saw that amazon had bought some to put their name on, and sell them cheaper. It’s identical to a peli case, just as strong, water resistant and has cable holes for locking.
I purchased this not for its intended purpose (camera equipment) but in order to take a basic set of tools on international flights.
In the past, I have checked in my toolbox as hold luggage (you can’t take tools in hand luggage), but on the last trip it arrived missing its handle, and the display of my multi meter was cracked, and having seen the way baggage handlers “care” for passengers bags, I decided I needed something with more padding.
I looked at peli cases but they’re horrendously expensive, this case is a much cheaper alternative, and hopefully it’s up to the task. I don’t need anything truly watertight, just sturdy and with a foam insert, but this case looks like it would be.
Pros:
Excellent value for money
Fairly light weight
Seems sturdy, not tested it long term though
Foam insert is of good quality
Label/name tag insert is well designed, can’t be removed unless case is opened
Cons:
Would prefer the padlock attachment point to be in the center, to fully secure the case you have to use two padlocks, which is a bit inconvenient. If you use a single padlock the case can be partially prised open on the other side, potentially contents could be exposed that way.
Not really a con, more of a personal preference, but i would’ve preferred the foam inside to be a single piece, so it can be cut with a stanley knife like other cases. I can see why amazon did this however as a lot of people wouldn’t be comfortable doing that, the pre-cut squares design is “tool-less”.
The build quality is really good. The foam inside is perfect. It is nice and heavy. Feels very solid and rugged. The wheels are also very good. It will survive for a while, you stay calm and pick this hard case. (Stickers not included)
Since pelican is way too costly in India, I brought this case. Decent quality and almost same size as Pelican 1510
Issues
1. I doubt if it’s allowed as carry on as it’s a bit bigger (Height) compared to pelican
2. After sales support or service is doubtful
3. Inside there is a big hollow space in between the rails, they could have just provided a flat platform ( it depends, some may use that space) see photo
4. Hinges are not so premium as that of pelican
Decent buy and a good job by Amazon
Edit: Got an after market insert done from a local bag maker (around 1k) and now it can easily hold 2 bodies and 5+ lenses
Very solid case that I believe will be durable protection for sensitive gear during our travels. Matches engage well and at this point there isn’t any “play” in the hinges. Will update review if we discover otherwise, but from all appearances it is good value for the cost!

Had it for a few months. Doing what it’s suppose to do. Only qualm. The wheels are awful. They are hard and roll super loud. Looking to replace with inline skate wheels.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is not a pelican but close
Holds my lenses but no instructions of how to pressurise or rather depressurise it’s contents.
I bought this case for when I travel abroad with my camera equipment with me!
I currently own a Canon 800D and a selection of lenses that I felt needed the extra protection when travelling around the world (which I do a few times per year)
This camera case is for people who have items they want to keep protected (like myself) while they travel or when they take from place to place.The case itself is relatively heavy and very durable. I have tried standing on this case myself (like another reviewer has mentioned) and it is very solid to say the least. The design of the case is very well thought through, it has been made from hard, black, durable plastic. With the only notable exception being the handle which is significantly softer that makes it very comfortable in the hand to carry about.
Moving onto the interior it include three plain layer of foam that are known (to the best of my knowledge) as pick n pluck foam. This allows you to customise the interior to best fit your equipment and how you wish it to be arranged inside the case. The top has waffle shaped foam so that it will easily fit around whatever you put in. Please note there is very little if not any movement from the case so if the equipment you put in is too tall etc the case will not accommodate this.
To close the case itself you use the two plastic latches and then you turn a dial to completely secure the case. Again to the best of my knowledge this is to make the case air tight and to secure it from the elements. The good thing about this case is the dial protects the contents in the case of the latches being opened accidentally. Great piece of mind knowing your equipment is safe in the case of this eventuality.
I would seriously consider this case if you are wanting a robust, strong case to protect your equipment. In my opinion this product stands up great to the selection of “storm cases” and other products offered by the likes of pelican. (Which I have also owned in the past). For me I wouldn’t consider using any other products as this really is second to none. Finally i think it is great knowing there is the options of small, medium and large size cases that all are built to the same high quality. Perfect for all and every kind of equipment.
Another great product from “amazonbasics” (nothing basic about this!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
Excellent case – used for Fuji X Pro 2 and two lenses
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic better than I thought it would be I intend ...
Fantastic better than I thought it would be I intend to get another one P S how do I get replacment internal foam pick & pluck for this case ??
Every bit as nice as a Pelican case at a much more reasonable price.
My only complaint is that Amazon doesn’t currently sell replacement foam inserts, and the dimensions are different enough that you can’t use the replacement foam for a comparably sized Pelican.
I bought the medium and was pleased to see it perfectly fit two camera bodies and all my prime lenses plus a wide lense and a telephoto. My only negative things are that I have fairly weak hands and arthritis and I cannot open or close the latches. I’m pretty bummed about it. Not sure if I can return since I’ve already ripped out foam. I want to keep it if I can find a solution to open and close with out asking for help
This small case is an excellent way to carry your valuable equipment safely and with style! I have several, and each is perfect for my uses. This case will be used to carry my photographic crystal balls. (see photo) Hard side, pluckable foam cores. Amazon Basics quality.
If you are a photographer and cinematographer like me and walk into the venue with this camera case... Be prepared to be taken seriously. This case is not only built like a tank, but it has the presence of one. Your client, and everyone at the event, will take notice and appreciate someone that takes that much care of his/her equipment and looks just as presentable. I have no complaints other than that sometimes the latches seem a bit too stiff and difficult to unlatch, but if anything that just goes to show how solidly built this case is constructed. Two thumbs up from me Amazon.

A provechando bien el espacio, y no cortando la espuma interior, que en mi caso lo nico que he hecho es quitar la primera capa, he conseguido meter una Sony A7R (con una correa de guitarra FENDER, que ya toma sitio de narices), una Fuji XE-1, las dos cmaras con un objetivo montado, la Sony con un 55mm y la Fuji con un 20mm.
A parte he metido, un 135mm, un 85mm, un 58mm, un 35mm, un 35-70mm, un 70-200mm, un 28-135mm y un 24-35mm.
Tambin entran 4 bateras para la Sony y 3 para la Fuji, una caja con las tarjetas de repuesto y toallitas de limpieza…
La maleta es superdura, resistente y cierra con una caja fuerte.
Tiene un pero (pero normal por este dinero), y es que las ruedas son de plstico del malo malo, hacen un ruido horrible y muy muy ruidosas. Pero tiene una solucin muy barata, y es poner unas ruedas de patinaje.
Por lo dems encantado.
I was looking for a watertight heavy-duty box for my lenses which can take pretty much any abuse possible when out and about.
I got it. this Amazon Hard case is well made, VERY strong/tough/thick Plastic, incredibly sturdy and has room enough for up to 8/9 lenses.
I stood my friend on it – he is 148kg – the box didn’t give in in any way. It didn’t even give any ”crunching” sound or a squeak.
Carrying handle, long handle for ”rolling along” are both strong.
It is clean and does not ”catch your eye”
It probably will outlast me – good for those whoch will inherite my cameras!
Great case. Plenty protection and a super click seal at a pinch of the price of the more expensive brands. Most definitely purchase this type of product again.
I have the “large” version of this case. . . and it’s a bit heavy. Granted, for the type of case it is, you don’t want a “lightweight” sort of case. It has a lot of the “bells-and-whistles” of some other cases, but with a lower price point. It’s watertight. . . It has a handle with wheels. . .You can customize the interior removing the foam in sections. (FYI. . I highly recommend keeping any foam you remove, so that if you change cameras or equipment, you can replace the foam as needed.) This is a very rugged case that should last and last.

Der Koffer ist wirklich riesig. Ein richtig schweres solides Teil. Die Inneneinteilung kann man selber bestimmen. Der Schaumstoff lsst sich einfach rausziehen und rausschneiden und somit kann man alle Teile passgenau einteilen. Fr meine Kamera und die Objektive einfach perfekt. Ob der Koffer wasserdicht ist, habe ich nicht getestet, aber einen starken Regen hlt er ohne weiteres aus, ohne das Wasser eindringt. Auch einen Sturz von der Leiter steckt er ohne Beulen und Abplatzer weg. Fr den Flug ist er viel zu schwer, aber so eine groe Ausrstung nehme ich eh nicht mit. Da der Koffer auch Rollen hat und wie ein Trolley genutzt werden kann, macht das Gewicht nicht ganz so viel aus, wenn man die Ausrstung zum Auto transportiert und auch nicht wenn man dann unterwegs ist um seine Fotos zu machen. Er kann ganz bequem hinterher gezogen werden. So kann man z.B. auch seine Ausrstung im Keller aufbewahren, die ja meistens nicht so 100% trocken sind. Da der Koffer Staub und Wasserdicht ist, kann mit der kostbaren Ausrstung nix passieren.
Bestens verpackt kommt das Hard Case an. Der Karton enthlt einen Stick mit der Aufschrift “Anti Mold Stick”, ein Fungizid bzw. Biozid. Vorsicht wenn Kinder beim Auspacken helfen.
.
.
Erfreulicherweise ist an und in dem Case keinerlei Chemiegeruch/Eigengeruch wahrnehmbar, denn ausdunstende Weichmacher greifen spter den Inhalt an.
.
.
Die Verarbeitung ist gut, allerdings sollten diverse Kanten und Spitzen mehr abgerundet sein, sie sind sehr scharfkantig.
Die Wanddicke betrgt gut 5mm.
.
.
Innen ist das Case vollstndig mit herausnehmbaren Schaumstoffmatten gefllt. Die oberen beiden im Koffer sind quadratzentimeterweise stiftartig geschlitzt und je 5cm hoch. Diese Schaumstoffstifte knnen entsprechend der Form, z.B. des Objektives, herausgetrennt werden, so dass sich Fcher bilden.
Unten liegt eine nicht gestiftete 4cm hohe Matte.
Leider bietet Amazon Basics keinerlei Ersatz an.
Ca. 2 cm Rand verbleiben innen aus Schaum. So ergibt sich ein geschtzter Laderaum von 48x23cm bei 10 cm Tiefe, plus nicht gestiftete Schaummatte im Boden, plus 2-3 cm im Deckel. Nicht besonders viel, dafr sicher.
Als reiner Koffer genutzt sind es innen 52x27cm bei 14cm Tiefe plus Deckel.
.
.
Der Koffer wird mit zwei schwergngigen, stabilen Riegen verschlossen. Ferner sind 4 stabile ffnungen fr Schlsser oder Kabelbinder vorhanden.
Der Koffer weist eine breite Gummidichtung auf, ferner ist ein verschliebares Druckausgleichsventil vorhanden. Das Gewinde dieses Ventiles scheuert innen am Schaumstoff, das sollte AmazonBasics nachbessern.
Zwei Rollen und ein rastbarer Trolleygriff erleichtern den Transport.
.
.
Etwas rgerlich finde ich, dass keinerlei Produktinformationen mitgeliefert werden. Theoretisch besitzt der Koffer MIL-Standard, aber ber Schutzklasse, Wasser-, und Luftdichtigkeit wird nichts gesagt.
Der Schutz wird brigens mit 7 !! kg Eigengewischt erkauft.
So ist der Koffer wirklich nur etwas fr den Extremeinsatz und dafr ist er sehr gut geeignet.
.
.
Fazit:
Ein sehr stabiles, robustes sogenanntes AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case Large, gut verarbeitet, “expeditionsgeeignet” und so sieht es auch aus.
Der Koffer kann natrlich auch fr andere Gegenstnde wie. z.B. Messgerte benutzt werden.
10/15kg Gesamtgewicht sind schnell berschritten. Mit seinen 7 kg Eigengewicht hat man schon ordentlich Gewicht am handlichen gummiberzogenem Griff.

An AmazonBasics:
Eine Beschreibung mit Angaben ber Schutz und Dichtigkeit sollte beigelegt werden.
Das Gewinde des Ventiles scheuert innen am Schaumstoff, hier gehrt ein Schutz drber, auch wegen des Equipments an dem es scheuern knnte.
Auch auen finden sich viele scharfe Kanten, die abgerundet werden sollten.
Von auen macht der Koffer einen soliden Eindruck. Das Case ist stabil und das merkt man bereits beim ersten Anpacken, denn das Case ist bereits leer kein Leichtgewicht. Knapp 7 kg Eigengewicht zeigen an, dass die Schalen des Koffers entsprecht dick sein mssen.
Allerdings ist dieser funktionell gehalten. Das lsst sich zum Beispiel daran erkennen, dass das Case mit wenigen Handgriffen auch als Trolley benutzt werden kann. Der integrierte Griff ist leicht auszuziehen und ist vollkommen ausreichend. Die integrierten Rollen sind zwar klein und besitzen keine gute Laufruhe, sind aber fr kurze Strecken ebenfalls okay. Ich finde auch den Tragegriff auf der Oberseite praktisch. Die Optik ist durchwachsen, auf Eleganz oder ein ansehnliches Aussehen wurde weitestgehend verzichtet und der “Basic”-Artikel konzentriert sich tatschlich auf seine Aufgabe robust zu sein und bietet eine gute Mglichkeit sein Equipment gut verpackt und gepolstert zu transportieren.
Durch die freie Aufteilung im Koffer ist dieser recht gerumig, jeder kann seine Kamera und das Zubehr individuell dort verstauen. Die mitgelieferten Schaumstoffplatten sind kleinschrittig eingeschnitten und passen sich so allen mglichen Formen sehr gut an, dabei decken sie aber auch die gesamte Flche im Koffer gut ab. Egal ob Kamera oder Objektive, die Dinge werden zuverlssig und eng umschlossen, sodass diese sich auch beim Transport nichts bewegt.
Der AmazonBasics Koffer ist etwas schwer aber dafr ist er auch sehr stabil. Man kann sein Foto-Equipment fr die Reise darin ebenso gut geschtzt verstauen, wie fr das Shooting am Set. Fr meine Zwecke reicht der Platz im Koffer aus, um den Kamera Body, meine drei wichtigsten Objektive, Filter, Systemblitze, Ladegert, Akkus und allerlei anderes Zubehr unterzubringen.
Die Schaumstoffeinlagen sind perforiert und knnen problemlos auf die gewnschten Ausbuchtungen angepasst werden. Das Equipment ist darin sehr gut geschtzt.
Die schwergngigen Verschlsse drften etwas besser gefertigt sein, um einfacher geffnet werden zu knnen. Man kann ein Bgel-Schloss zur Sicherung einstecken. Die Rollen sind gut und der Griff ebenfalls.
Vielleicht wrde ich mir den Koffer eine Nummer grer kaufen, damit noch mehr Equipment hinein passt aber fr das Ntigste und fr Einsteiger mit noch wenig Ausrstung, ist der Koffer auch so gut geeignet. Preis und Leistung kann ich aufgrund des derzeit noch fehlenden Preises in der Artikelbeschreibung nicht einschtzen.
This is hardcore luggage designed to protect your camera gear from extreme abuse, and competes with products from Pelican and others. If you are heading off on African Safari with all your camera and lighting gear, or simply doing a shoot in another city and need to check your gear on a flight, this is what you need.
The case is made from thick, strong plastic and is designed to withstand crushing and dropping. Inside there are layers of foam that are pre-cut so you can remove “slices” of the foam to create a pocket that’s custom-sized for each of your items. This stops them moving around inside the case and that helps with protection from rapid deceleration (AKA baggage handlers throwing your luggage around).
The downside of a case like this is that the thick plastic is heavy. This case weighs about 18 pounds, before you’ve put anything in it. The good news is that the case has wheels and an extendable handle like a rolling suitcase, so it’s much easier to maneuver. I didn’t check, but the case looks to be about the FAA maximum carry-on size for an aircraft, so you could carry it on provided the airline was OK with the weight. There is very little ground clearance when wheeling the case around (the wheels are in the corners), so it will catch on an irregular surface and it has to be carried up and down stairs.
The case is secured by two levers that lock down bringing both sides of the case together for a snug fit to keep water and dust out. There’s a moulded section near the handle with a hole to so you can use a padlock to deter thieves. Because the case gasket is water and dust tight, there’s also a purge valve that balances the air pressure inside the case to stop it popping open at 30,000 ft.
This camera case is for someone who has something they want to keep very secure. It is heavy and very robust but you could stand on it easily (I have tried this) and as far as I can see it is weatherproof, if not waterproof. It is not pretty but it has a certain rugged charm. It is made from hard, black, plastic except for a covering on the handle which makes it softer to carry, especially when it is heavy. It has little feet on its side when you put it down to open it and good sized ones on its base when it is stood up – this means that over all it is very stable.
Inside it comes with three plain foam layers which you can cut out and pile on top of one another depending on the dpth of what you are putting in the case. The top has waffle shaped foam so that it will easily fit around whatever you put in. Look at the dimensions carefully to make sure that you can get your camera in the space available because the case will not move at all.
You close the case with two plastic latches and then you turn a knob to secure it even further. The latches are fine to use but the knob is fiddly and the “open” and “close” instructions are in raised black plastic which you are never going to see in dim light (they are not easy even in bright light !). The latches open easily enough when the knob is in the right position and the whole thing is secure from accidental opening when it is closed.
If you want an exceedingly robust case for a small camera or a few lenses then this is definitely worth considering.
Dieser AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case, Large hat die Mae 55,6 x 34,8 x 24,9 cm und hat ein Leergewicht von 7 kg, das empfinde ich als etwas zu schwer, aber dieses Camera Case hat unten 2 Rollen und oben einen Griff zum Herrausziehen, also habe ich keine Schwierigkeiten ihn zu transportieren, nur wenn alle meine Utensilien drinnen sind, ist er etwas schwer um ihn auf einen Tisch, Schrnkchen, Hocker oder Stuhl zu heben, aber zum Glck hat man ja oft ein mnnliches Wesen in der Nhe, der einem gerne behilflich ist.
Davor hatte ich einen K&F Concept Kamerarucksack, aber da der aus Stoff ist, war mir oft meine teure Kamera in dem Rucksack nicht sicher genug. In dem AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case habe ich jetzt doch ein besseres Gefhl der Sicherheit, wenn ich unterwegs bin. Der Koffer ist aus Hartplastik und hat im Deckel eine dicke Schaumstoffdecke ( siehe Fotos), dann sind noch 2 dicke Schaumstoffdecken dabei, die haben beide ( wie soll ich das erklren?) senkrecht und waagerecht Einschnitte im Abstand von ca 50 mm, in diesen kann ich meine Kamera und Zubehr Eindrcken, sie sind dann gut geschtzt fr den Transport dadrin, dann gibt es ganz unten auch noch eine Schaumstoffdecke, die schtzt von unten alles, diese Decken sind ca 5 cm dick. Der Koffer wird mit 2 sehr scher gngigen Plastikschnappverschlssen geffnet und geschlossen, in der Mitte unter dem roten Schild ( siehe letztes Foto) ist noch ein Drehknopf, ich wei nicht wofr dieser sein soll, an dem Drehknopf ist eine Schraube, die man nach innen reindrehen kann, aber ich sehe nicht, warum ich das tun sollte, sie wrde sich dann etwas in die Schaumgummimatte drehen, vielleicht wei jemand ja etwas mehr darber, was der Drehknopf auf sich hat.
Zwar bekomme ich in diesem Koffer nicht sehr viel rein, aber fr das Wichtigste zu Fotografieren reicht es aus, wenn ich wieder mehr bentige, nehme ich noch den Rucksack dazu.
ber den Preis kann ich nichts sagen, denn dieses AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case ist im Moment nicht erhltlich.
Maleta AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case, Tamao “Large”.
Amazon nos enva una maleta en color negro, sus dimensiones son 556x348x249mm y tiene un peso de 6,8 kilos (aprox).

El Asa extensible tiene “algo” de holgura.
Al venir “tan” reforzada, la relaccin tamao y capacidad se ve reducida.
La medida interna (Capacidad) es de 525x270x100 (suma de las dos planchas precortadas), aunque puede aumentar unos centimetros gracias a las planchas inferior y superior.
Tanto la tapa como el fondo vienen forrados y aunque est orientada para equipos fotogrficos es vlida para cualquier equipo electrnico que queramos proteger.
_Pros:

Tapa con junta y forrada interiormente.
Vlvula de compensacin de presin.

El asa extensible solo tiene una posicin, no es “gomosa” como el asa de maleta y extendida tiene algo de holgura.
Relacin Tamao/Capacidad.

Mi valoracin es muy positiva, tanto por su tamao, calidad y acabado del producto como por la finalidad de ste. Esto es, su interior va muy bien acolchado por lo que protege los productos que se metan dentro, adems de facilitar su transporte.
The first thing I said when I took this out of the box was “This is build like a tank!” which is exactly what I think anyone looking at purchasing would be hoping for. Right away you notice this thing isn’t meant to be pretty. It’s thick injection molded plastic that isn’t perfectly uniform and there are some burrs on the outside. This doesn’t bother me a bit because you can tell how sturdy it’ll be by picking it up. That’s what matters.
Everything about this is solid. at least 3/16ths thickness all around, reinforcing ribs and beefy hinges. Both handles are nice and big with the carrying one covered in thick rubber for a good grip. Your latches snap into place hard and take a good pull to get off so there’s no risk of an accidental opening. The hinges are good too and feature multiple positions to keep the lid just where you want it. I love the release for the pulling handle too; two big spring loaded latches on the bottom that you pinch to release. The wheels are a hard plastic but I appreciate that they didn’t skimp on the bearings which spin effortlessly. On the front you get a nice little label slot as well as a pressure release knob. I came in to find my two year old standing on this case on the coffee table and you could tell it didn’t care. No physical weakness that I can detect.
On the inside you’ll first notice the two layers of pull apart foam that I was able to quickly pull into the required shapes after laying things out. NOTE: I recommend spending some time with this step because after my first iteration that you can see I ran into some issues. Place things like the camera/flashes in the center. This is because once you get through the two layers you’re not to the bottom; there more regular foam but it’s filling in the void that the wheels and handle don’t take up. In my case a really hard bump could hand them impacting the hard plastic like the wheel well. Just places smaller things in those areas. I need to move some things around wad while the foam is already pulled I’ll just make the move and hot glue it in the old spot. The top has nice cushion-y egg crate foam and you’ll notice a big gasket that should keep a good amount of accidental water out. The opposite lip looks well designed to make positive contact with that gasket.
Besides the loud baby-waking snap the latches make there’s really nothing I can complain about. The outside is a beast and the inside has tons of nice soft foam to keep your gear snug as a bug in a rug. I’ve noticed nothing that looks like it won’t last long and once I settle on a layout I’ll probably keep everything in here full-time.
When they say "Large" they mean large. Carry your camera and all your peripherals in this well constructed, padded,and protective camera case. The case itself, while solid, is light so you do not gain that much weight on top of your equipment.

Big, heavy, secure
This case is super tough, yet very heavy. It’s good that it has a wheel and a handle, because carrying this around full of equipment would be hard.
That being said, it will keep your stuff safe. The case is waterproof and full of foam, which can be configured as needed. The latches are super-secure. Though I haven’t tested it this way – it seems waterproof.
Incredibly well-built case. Extremely solid and durable. Larger then expected, this case has a far more expanded list of uses other then just 'camera case'. Comes with layers of foam that can be cut to custom fit any object worth protecting. Comes with a sturdy handle as well as wheels and an extendable handle for rolling. Highly recommended for protecting a variety of objects.

I like it, but it is heavy
This is a sturdy, very heavy, sealed case that could probably fall out of an aircraft and still survive. The plastic is thick and strong and the foam inside provides great protection. I had no problem shaping the foam cutouts to my D500 and D7200 as well as their lenses and my 700 flash unit with room left over. The foam is precut and can be easily torn out or for a neater job it is cut easily with a kitchen knife.
There are two very rugged latches and they are equally tough to latch and unlatch. But at least they feel like it would be tough to accidentally open them.
This case comes with two high-end ball bearing wheels and a built in handle. Those are needed. Even without equipment this is a heavy case, and it’s pretty bulky for hand carry. However, if you need to carry with a handle, the handle is just as sturdy as the case and easily hefts the weight. It is non-slip rubber coated for a secure grip, too.
I find the biggest negative to be the weight. Otherwise this is a very sturdy, large, useful case.
Camera Equipment Hard Case
It suited to everyday use (eg carrying equipment safely in a car and transporting it about the countryside etc) though I would be concerned for flight use. The padlock lugs are plastic not metal or metal reinforced so might as well place plastic locks on…
It comes with three pick-out foam layers which allow you to pull pieces out to suit the shape of your equipment: it would pay to consider carefully what you want to put in the case. Some hard cases use dividers as in a backpack. Would be nice if they offered both and spare foam.
It has a pressure valve to allow you to equalise the pressure for flight use.
In terms of looks it looks rugged and strong – sort of chunky look. The plastic is thick and heavy. However, when using the handle and wheels it doesn’t seem so heavy.
It might not be an elegantly designed case for which you’d likely pay more but it does seem functional and, for the price, pretty good stuff.
This is a tough and sturdy case. It has a handle to pull it ...
This is a tough and sturdy case. It has a handle to pull it along and one for carrying. It is made from a tough thick plastic with thick foam inserts which can be cut and shaped for your camera and equipment to fit snugly and keep it safe from bumps and knocks. It has a pressure valve if it is used for flying and the wheels seem to be securely fixed.It is also the correct size to be classed as hand luggage.The case looks like a tool box on wheels and could also be used for tools especially if you have to travel and need to take tools with you. You could just as easily cut the foam to fit around a drill for example or completely remove it. Tools are heavy so the pull along feature could be useful.
Overall this is a well made sturdy case which is robust and would withstand a bit of rough handling. I cannot however comment on its value for money as at the time of writing this review there was no price published.
As of the time of writing I don’t know the cost of this case. I received it free from the Amazon Vine program.
The case is in the vane of Peli or SKB cases and this particular case is designed for small cameras. I know I’d get a dslr without a battery grip and at least on smallensuring. For me though I’ll log it with three flash guns and for this if seems perfect.
Open the two latches which are stiff and 8nside you’ll find go am inside the lid and a double layer of foam on the bottom. The lower foam is partially perforated to allow for easy shaping to accurately mimic the shape of your goods.
The handle seems really solid, there’s a gasket to help stop water getting in, though I haven’t tried that yet, and there’s a pressure release Vale on the outside.
Since I don’t intend going swimming with this case I’m sure it’ll handle all sorts of bad weather. Frankly, thiso case is impressive, I just wish I knew what it costs to evaluate value for money. Deducted quality star for that.
This is a very huge and heavy case, stuffed with firm slabs of foam padding. There are several slabs so you can remove a few to make room if you need to. Everything with this is super heavy duty. The locks are extremely heavy and are very secure. The handle can be extended by depressing two buttons. It also has wheels. So, if you need a steamer trunk size case for any type of equipment, you will love this.

Great way to protect sensitive hardware as you transport it.
Simply awesome. A solid case, good, comfortable handle, or you can pull out the extending handle and trundle it on its wheels.
Inside there are layers of strong foam, with 1cm square cut outs – you push through all the ones you need out the way to drop your camera equipment in. This allows you to easily make a container for your kit that looks professional and protects your camera hardware perfectly.
But don’t think this has to be just for cameras – it would be great for network tools – any sensitive equipment you need to transport and protect.
Efficace mais très lourd
Valise-coffre de transport d’appareils fragiles, dont les dimensions extrieures sont 55x35x25 cm.
Esththique extrmement basique, la limite du supportable, mais bonne conception globale.
Semble pouvoir rsister de trs gros chocs. Il faut ce moment-l bien caler les objets. Quatre blocs de mousse distncts et superposs sont prvus, sans logements prdtermins. Il faut les faire soi-mme.
En cas de voyage en avion, et de voyage tout court, tenir compte du poids vide de ce coffre, environ 7 kg, ce qui n’est pas ngligeable.
Updated Review (+ 1 Star): These Are Amazon-Branded "Elephant" Cases (Or Both Source From Same Manufacturer)
UPDATE (Feb 2017): The large case is – I’m really certain – an Elephant E300 (dimensions check out exactly), Elephant sells it for $142.99 (black with foam), but also offers it in yellow and green (with & without foam) for a bit more. e Bay has these “black with foam” running at (best price) for about the same as Elephant (both with free shipping). So Amazon’s prices are pretty good (especially if you are a Prime member (where you get free 2-day shipping)), but maybe not so good if Amazon charges you sales tax and the other two don’t.
The “medium” is – I’m fairly certain – the Elephant E215 (dimensions don’t check out exactly). As of this update, it runs about $2.00 cheaper on Elephant’s web site and $5.00 cheaper on e Bay.
DEAL ALERT! The “small” is – I’m really certain – the Elephant E150 (dimensions check out exactly). If I’m correct, this is a steal on Amazon as it runs $30 more expensive on both Elephant and on e Bay.
I upgraded my initial review from 4 stars to 5 stars because Amazon has brought these in at a competitive price (and the small case is (as of February 25, 2017) a GREAT deal). I’m not having problems with the foam or other features some other reviewers have commented about. If I did have a “complaint,” it would be that these are heavy cases (a bit heavier I think than Pelican and more along the lines of what Plano offers. Still excellent cases though. Highly recommend; urge the reader to strongly consider.
UPDATE (Jan 2017): After doing a bit of research it appears this case may be an “Amazon Basic” rebranding of an Elephant case (see for example, the Elephant E150 Case with Foam for Camera, Video, Guns, Test and Metering Equipment Waterproof Hard Plastic Case ).
Original Title:
You Won’t Mistake This For THAT Brand, But That Could Be Okay….
Original Review:
You won’t mistake this for a Pelican case. This Amazon Basics case only has 2 latches (most Pelican cases have at least 4) and the texture and feel of the case is slightly different.
But that’s where the differences end. This is a nice (but not great) case that seems very rugged (case construction, latch construction, hinge construction) and full-featured. Each latch has a lock hole. The handle folds up and down smoothly and has a nice rubbery feel to the handle grip. The case has an air pressure relief valve that (while not as nice as what the Pelican cases have) is easy to use and functional. This large size case has two outer layers of foam (“top” and “bottom”?) and two configurable layers of foam in which to “encase” your items. There are slots on the inside that I guess are for section dividers, but the case did not come with any dividers. I also like the clever label slot (you access the label when the plastic label holder slides after opening the case). This case is advertised as the “big brother” of AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case, Medium , but I don’t think that that works. This larger case has an extendable handle and wheels (to handle a heavier load) and it’s the addition of these two features that a) significantly increases the weight of this case (it’s heavy; you really need the wheels even before you put anything in it) and b) makes it a very different case from its supposed “little brother.” Having said this, I will say that the wheels roll well and the extendable handle works without a hitch (one caveat: handle works well for those 5’9″ and under; taller than 5’9″ and you’re beginning to stoop).
This could be a great case for transporting/protecting/storing photography kit or as a gun case, etc. But the weight, oh the weight. Additionally, some prospective buyers might be turned off by the fact that the case is made in China. Finally, I have no idea how much Amazon intends to sell this for (at the time of this review the product page link linked to a “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page” and a search for “AmazonBasics Hard Camera Case, Large…” in the Amazon search bar yielded no results). Bottom line, if Amazon can bring this case in at a reasonable price to a) beat the competition and b) overcome the weight downside I would feel better with this 4-star review. I debated about giving this case 3 stars, but that seemed a bit cruel. So let’s give Amazon the benefit of the doubt and go with 4 stars.
P.S. I am really hoping this review links to a product page soon because I’m curious as to how much Amazon is willing to expand this product line (meaning, I hope the company does as they off to a relatively good start).
Ce coffre de transport est priori destin aux photographes et vidastes mais rien ne devrait cependant empcher de l’utiliser dans un autre cadre. Ct esthtique, le produit respecte l’esprit des produits Amazon Basics, c’est du “sans fioriture” par consquent, en effet, assez basique. Mais cela reste de la qualit. La matire plastique est un peu brut mais la chose a l’air d’tre trs robuste. Tout comme le systme de fermeture d’ailleurs, agrment de quatre perforations qui permettent d’ajouter des anti vols ou des cadenas. Il y a deux poignets dont une dpliable (faon tlescopique), on peut donc porter la chose comme une valise soit mains soit sur roulettes.
A l’intrieur on se retrouve avec 3 blocs de mousse d’une paisseur de 5cm. Il faudra les dcouper au cutter soi mme la taille de sa camra/appareil photo et de ses objectifs et accessoires. En terme de contenance, on est sur une profondeur de 15cm pour une longueur de 52cm et une largeur de 27cm.
Verdict, ce n’est pas le flycase le plus beau de l’anne mais il a fait ce qu’on lui demande. A condition d’organiser convenablement le rangement et de faire une dcoupe de mousse rflchie, reflex et objectifs ne devraient pas craindre grand chose. Attention par contre, il pse son poids mme vide.
Tres tres solide
Si l’esthtique n’est pas des plus sduisante, l’objet est surtout bas sur la protection du contenu, et sur ce point elle remplit parfaitement son rle .
Livr avec des blocs de mousse compacte et prdcoups, vous n’avez plus qu’a amnager des emplacements correspondant a votre matriel.
Roulettes et poigne de transport sont prsentes et une deuxime poigne pour le transport a main est galement disponible.
Des petits trous permettent de fermer la mallette avec des cadenas pour plus de scurit.
L’ensemble semble trs solide, fait dans un plastique pais et rsistant. Les deux fermetures sont simples et efficaces et donne une impression de robustesse sur la dure.
Les produits Amazon Basics sont en gnral des produits avec un excellent rapport qualit/prix.
