Finding suitable hard cases for camera arms during travel and transport
What the thread found
- A Pelican 1600 case can accommodate a camera arm with the height being the most critical dimension since the arm does not lay flat
- Storing an arm together with a vest inside a larger Pelican 1620 case works as a combined solution for some users
- An arm can be folded in half for storage, which reduces the case footprint and allows it to fit on the bottom of a camera cart
- Using foam custom-cut to support a folded arm has proven successful over multiple years of use
- Keeping an arm in a separate case from the vest preserves memory foam padding on vests and allows easier transport when living in multi-story buildings
Depends on
- The Pelican 1600 dimensions were verified only for specific arm models mentioned in the discussion
- Storm-brand cases reportedly lack options matching the specific dimensions needed for arm-only storage
- The folded-arm storage method requires custom foam cutting and was only described anecdotally without detailed specifications
- No specific case model was confirmed as ideal for a folded arm configuration
