Saw this case featured here on YT a few years back and gave it a try and I had the exact same experience with the stupid insert foam. Great info about the padding insert available on Amazon. Definitely gonna order that ASAP.
I was glad to see those American Airline tags on your case... I'm flying AA this weekend and I wanted to be sure the 5800 was really carry on size. I haven't flown anywhere with gear for over 10 years.
Yeah I use these all the time on American flights! I would say, I use some tie cables to extra secure them in case the lid gets popped open. Extra security when traveling is a good idea
Thats cool and all...I will have to check out that brand. What I would really like to know are some tips or experiences on getting through airport security with all your camera gear. I am flying to AZ soon to do some filming of snakes, scorpions and tarantulas in the desert and the most stressful part right now in my mind is getting all the gear through the security checkpoint.
My local store was out of the Pelican 1510, so I took a shot on an SKB case. Absolutely love it. I've converted from Pelican for sure. I have to use a pick n pluck insert. I had a lens break one time on the inserts :/
@@ChunkyJo if you can make it work that's great! I just find it starts falling apart by the end of a trip on me. But everyone has their preferences for sure!
Thanks for this video. Was looking forward to it. I don't use Pelicases anymore though 😂 Seeing the vmount plat on top of the smallrig cage is a cool idea. Maybe I should try that as well. Do you use a follow focus on your Lumix lenses with their focus by wire?
Thanks! And for focus I usually just do it by hand and do t have any special set up. I like to keep things simple in my builds so less moving parts and connections the better.
No problem! And actually for this video I was using a Rode shotgun VideoMic NTG. Love having them for videos on the go like this and they have a pretty good clear sound to them for shotgun mics
Yeah, it just takes time to find consistency and find what works best for you. I usually just like using photos so I don't have to go crazy on graphics
@@FrameVoyager was it in the bottom of the plane you mean? Sorry forgive my ignorance but if I'm carrying it on then I don't need to set the valve right?
I've been using these ever since they came out, and I love them. Very well made and just as solid as the competitions.
Totally agree! Now I just need to find a good travel luggage cart to help lug all of this stuff around at the airport haha

@@FrameVoyager thanks for the extra tip
@@SAINTLOUISTV These are what I use amzn.to/3He7LgG
I have hundreds of these and keep them everywhere. So useful on shoots for various things

For sure! I'll add that to my list of videos to make. How soon are you traveling?
@@FrameVoyager heading out there in early September
Sweet! Yeah, I'll try and make a video on what I do and how I travel with everything before then!
@@FrameVoyager thank you so much, that would be immensely helpful!
@@tarantulacollective it's actually something I've been meaning to do for a while and now have a good reason!.

Pick n pluck is the worst!
@@FrameVoyager I disagree! lol But overall, I can see where the hatred comes from for sure.

@@FrameVoyager Yeah I can totally see that for sure!

I'll be waiting for the B Roll. Bear wise.
😂😂 oh, we have a full Alaska adventure video coming out soon. Keep an eye out 👀
@@FrameVoyager Ofcourse! See you on the next one 🤩
Putting on my resume... “willing to get eaten by a bear for the shot”
Good resume builder for sure!
Do you mean a wild bear or a wild Bear Grylls
I honestly don't know which is scarier
thanks for the tips and share !
love your clear voice on outdoor bro,
what lav mic and audio recorder that you use ?
No problem! And actually for this video I was using a Rode shotgun VideoMic NTG. Love having them for videos on the go like this and they have a pretty good clear sound to them for shotgun mics
Great info!!! 👍👍
Sweet I see some in stock at my local harbor freight for $95
They really are great hard cases!
@@FrameVoyager why the inserts cost more than the case lmao.
@@jackofblades6736 the one I usually get literally just went out of stock after I posted this video 😂😂😂 sorry about that
Wouldn't travel with any other camera 😎
Same!
“Was that a bear?” 😂
Genuinely thought that IS was a bear. It's an old lens haha
now that's a thumbnail
😂 thanks! Trying to up my thumbnail game!
@@FrameVoyager it's toughhhh. I'm aiming for functional but I'm super not a graphic designer...
Yeah, it just takes time to find consistency and find what works best for you. I usually just like using photos so I don't have to go crazy on graphics
"Almost" no problem - what does that mean 4:08 ?
Yeah, guess that was cryptic 😂 Only issues I've had is forgetting to unseal that water proof seal and it collapsing in on itself when on an airplane 😂
@@FrameVoyager Oooppps !!
@@john3Lee 😬 it survived though 😂
