Description

Made from super-tough ABS-clad wood, this case resists dings, dents, and other blemishes better than aluminum-clad cases. This accessory case features cubed foam, so you can customize the interior to fit your specific accessories -- different sizes of eyepieces, camera body, adapters, barlow lenses, whatever you have. You'll appreciate the strong dual hinges in back and the sturdy spring latches in front. The hinged carrying handle provides a sure grip. A removable, adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. The latches can be locked; keys are provided. Internal dimensions: 17.2" x 12.2" x 5.5".

5Orion Pluck-Foam Accessory Case  Apr 01, 2007 By P. P. Huang
I have a lot of lenses for my various cameras and wanted a nice, sturdy case to store them all in one place. Well, this certainly fits the bill! Excellent construction, well built and solid. The pluck foam is great, allowing you to customize the spaces for your specific lenses. I had no plans for traveling with the case, but if I were to do so, I think this case would give adequate protection to my lenses. I haven't measured it directly, but it seems to be small enough to use as a carry-on, although its somewhat heavy, given its solid construction. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone without reservations.

5Relatively lightweight case, a good deal for the money  Feb 07, 2008 By Carrie W. "Carrie Waterston"
I started to give this product only four stars, because of a couple of issues...the strap that came with it isn't the most durable I've ever seen, and this case is not as well-constructed as some others. On the other hand, it only cost $50 and I think it's going to serve its purpose well enough, so five stars it is.

I bought this case to house a Canon i90v portable printer, which is about 12" x 8" or so. It's also got a few accessories, like a cord and a removable battery, all of which fit into this case quite nicely. I had no problem at all removing the pluck foam and the camera fit right inside, which gives the overall effect of having had a custom case made for my printer.

Here's another real plus for this product: especially for its size, which is ample, the weight of this case is not overwhelming at all. This can be a real problem concerning "portable" gear containers. I teach scuba diving on weekends, so I'm always looking for something in which to stash various pieces of camera paraphernalia. A company called Pelican makes great waterproof cases, but ye cats, are they heavy - a dive camera plus case can easily top 15 pounds. This Orion case with my printer inside probably weighs only about five or six pounds, which is going to be terrific should I need to stash this case inside a larger suitcase for a business trip or similar.

I'd say that, even though there are better cases on the market, this one is going to perform plenty well for the job I've selected for it, and you certainly can't beat it for the price. I may well buy another one for some camera equipment.

5Great case and great price!  Jun 09, 2008 By William B. Chaffin "Gourmet Ghost Hunters"
i use this case to protect my Ghost Hunting Equipmnet. It is a perfect size and very tough.


4Arrived EXTREMELY fast  Oct 22, 2010 By Portland Ghosts
Product arrived so quickly I didn't know what was in the box when I found it on my porch. I certainly wasn't expecting it to arrive that fast. It was literally here in less than 2 days.

Now for the product.

My first impression is that this case is pretty flimsy. It feels like it would take very little effort to punch a hole right through this thing. It has 2 locking clasps and a carrying strap, again these feel cheaply made as well.

It is actually smaller than I expected it to be (no measurements taken, just a visual observation), however with the custom foam ability I was able to get a decent amount of equipment inside the case. Very light weight. I was hoping for a more solid construction. It appears to be made mostly of a sturdy cardboard material. I would have liked more aluminum or solid material to have been used in manufacturing. I believe most of what you are paying for is the ability to customize the foam for your specific items.

I am using this case for paranormal research equipment and will probably need 1-2 more eventually unless I find something larger at a similar price.

In the case so far I have the following items with still room to possibly add 1-2 more small things to it:

Two LED flashlights (stacked on top of each other)
One infrared lamp
2 Sony Mini DV camcorders
SIMA infrared light (might be able to stack 2 of them)
Digital voice recorder
4 Mini DV blank tapes
EMF detector

These items are fairly small except for the camcorders but I still have 3 CCTV infrared cameras, camcorder batteries, chargers, another camcorder and a DVR so will need two more cases or one very large one. Plus this would not be a good case for storing cables and power strips in which is another thing entirely.

I feel that the foam padding should protect your equipment, just not sure how confident I feel about the case itself surviving much wear and tear.

Pros: Fast shipping. Brutally fast shipping.

Cons: Feels like it wouldn't take much to damage the case, clasps and strap hooks.

If you feel that your case won't be treated like a UPS package during Christmas week this case should work well for you. If you think the case is going to experience some rough handling while in your possession you might want to look into a hard plastic case with padding.


3Not like in the picture.  Aug 01, 2010 By Tim
Nice case none the less. Works for what i need it for. However, the case I recieved DID NOT look anything like the one in the picture, at all. The case looks good but probably not as sturdy as it would have been if it was all aluminum like in the picture.
