Design features include gasket sealing that makes the case dust and waterproof, a molded-in hinge for added strength, seven stainless steel reinforced padlock holes, and six trigger release latches arrayed around the case on three sides that seal the interior tight. The case is further resistant to a variety of hazards that you may encounter such as impacts, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, solvents, corrosion, and even fungi. A pressure relief valve comes into play especially during air transport by regulating the internal pressure, keeping your gear and the case from getting crushed and allowing you to open the case without having to break a tough pressurized seal that may develop.

These are great for travel gigs where you want to put stands and other grip. I also use them in town for corporate gigs. they have wheels so producers can 'help'.

Solid.  Great Shotkit Case.

I bought two of these for a mobile shotkit for my studio volume photography business. This case fits four Einsteins and stands with room for cords and small accessories. I have owned a ton of Pelican cases, but liked this form factor and guessed right. Everything fit. It's tight to fit the Manfrotto stands inside but we made it work. The selling point was the Thinktank insert which worked out perfectly. We used the foam insert from the original Einstein boxes to secure the lights when traveling. The case looks like it was made for this function.

It says "Layered Foam" does this mean it has multiple layers of the foam - and if so how thick is each layer - or is it just one piece?

question

Will the 12' manfrotto alu master stacking stands fit in the SKB 4213-12?
Asked by: Eric
Hi Eric, I haven't tested that particular stand so I can't say for certain. Just to confirm I believe you're talking about model number 1004BAC. It looks like the collapsed height is 42.13 . The internal measurement of the case with the padded dividers is close to 41.5 . If you put the stand in at an angle it might fit. Besides that you could also look at our 3i-4719-8B-L case. That would come with layered foam so you could cut compartments for the stands and other gear. Thank you,Will
