It is by far the most durable and sturdy flight that I have every used. Recommended 100%

Awesome gear case

I have two of these cases for my portable AV kit. One holds my projector, along with its remote, and all of the associated cord and cables. The other holds my mixer and DACs, along with their respective components. The foam is very easily customized and the pick-and-pluck inserts mean minimal cutting is required. There is plenty of padding in all directions and every piece is securely held within its own little slot. True to their reputation, the structure of the case is very sturdy and sealed up tight from the outside elements. Having multiple handles means you can easily grab it from any angle and 2-man carry is a snap. The wheels and retractable grab handle are also a huge bonus. Overall, this case is a very worthy investment to protect my expensive gear and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Whilst I am confident of the durability of the case itself, is the foam enough padding to protect DSLRs and lens from rough handling at an airport? Eg if the case was thrown/dropped by baggage handlers, will camera bodies and lens be unaffected?
Asked by: Ben
Yes this would protect the equipment inside very well, I would recommend leaving roughly 1-2 inches of foam around the outside just for peace of mind, but I have had no issues with any of my equipment being damaged with these rolling through airports.
