Peli 1510 case - padded dividers versus foam13799

sandhun private msg quote post Address this user



Hi, in terms of fitting a MP Pro2 camera into a Peli case, would you suggest using the padded dividers or using the snug-fitting foam that came with the camera?

The padded dividers go all the way around the edges of the case adding extra protection and the inserts could be probably shaped in a way to hold the camera in place.

The foam is too big for the case, so in order to make it fit I'd have to try cutting it with a Stanley knife.

87-WGAN-TV Four Hard Cases for Matterport Pro2 Camera AND How to Customize Foam for Hard Cases

@sandhun

Why not order custom foam from My Case Builder for your Pelican case #1510? You can use the My Case Builder app to custom design the foam; based on the gear that you want to include in your case.

Plus, My Case Builder has a factory in Europe (in addition to the United States, Asia and New Zealand).

Last week, WGAN-TV Live at 5 did an entire show (above) on custom foam for Pelican - and other cases - specifically for a Matterport Pro2 Camera (and iPad).

Transcript: WGAN-TV | Four Hard Cases for Matterport & How to Customize Foam for Hard Cases

The show includes a demo of how to use the My Case Builder app to create custom foam for hard cases.

Having had several hard cases I am one to always go with the divider type kit inside. The main reason for me is that back in the days of film (yes I'm that old) the what was called pick and pluck foam would tend to break down and get everywhere.

So I started using the dividers, and haven't looked back.

I know the custom cuts are usually a better grade foam and if you are going to use a case for a singular purpose, with a camera that doesn't have removable lenses, or vents that little scraps of foam material can get into, you'll be fine with either.

Yes. Likely the key to using My Case Builder with custom foam (not pick and pluck) is:

Same gear for every shoot, such as: Matterport Pro2 Camera and iPad
