How to use

Open the latches and lift the lid to access the pre-cut sponge insert. Remove or modify the sponge insert pieces to shape compartments that fit your equipment snugly; replace the lid and ensure the egg-crate foam contacts the items for additional cushioning. Close both latches and engage the pressure compensation valve if transporting by air to equalize internal pressure. Use the handle or an optional carrying strap (item no. CS/500) for transport.

Recommendations

For optimal protection, place fragile items individually into the custom-cut compartments and avoid overloading the case. Regularly check seals and latches for wear, and store the case in a dry place when not in use to maintain watertight and dustproof performance.
