So i am still unsure on whats going on with my Cs8 so im planning the trip to montana to to have every thing checked out. and i have no idea what case to get that would fit the CS8, 2xs Gimbal and remote and screen......that being said what case do I need to just get the cs8 and gimbal packed. is the one im hoping http://www.quadrocopter.com/1510-Pelican-Case-with-Foam_p_437.html May be overkill but im guessing this will hold every thing http://www.quadrocopter.com/CineStar-Case-with-Foam-1620_p_438.html
Are you comfortable breaking down the copter (removing all the booms, etc.)? None of these cases can hold a fully-assembled Cinestar. I have a pick 'n pluck foam setup I did for one of my Pelican 1620 cases (from my photo gear) that worked great the one time so far that I've traveled with the copter.
Jei. I posted this in another thread, but this company makes custom cases and I was quoted around $600 for something along these lines. This one still needs the polymer wrap, but it's close to the size we'd need for the fully assembled CS8 w/gimbal attached. http://www.caseworld.tv/PICdgT0233.JPG http://www.caseworld.tv/6867.html
Chris, that looks pretty sturdy, like an Anvil case. Do you know if that price include molded foam, or is it a "pick 'n pluck" kind of deal?
Steve. I know for a fact it included foam, but can't remember if it was molded or P&P. They also said it was airline approved for shipping. Either way, I'd imagine our machines would be quite safe and cozy.
To add to that...we'd have to contact QC and see if they would give us some help with exact dimensions (possibly a dummied down CAD drawing just showing dimensions for a proper build). Turnaround time on the company I mentioned above is one week or less.
Not yet, but I plan on it. Hopefully in a month or so. Nothing associated with this biz (oops...dismiss that statement Mr. FAA, I mean hobby) is cheap!
