Finding soft case options for camera equipment sleds

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • A Florida-based company called Christian Workshop manufactures custom soft cases suitable for camera equipment and military applications, with custom builds available starting around $160 for the shell.
  • Custom foam fitting services can be added to soft cases through specialized case shops to protect specific equipment, with typical foam work costing over $100.
  • Soft cases with good construction features such as dual handles, removable shoulder straps, and self-standing design offer practical benefits for day-to-day transport compared to hard cases or generic sled socks.
  • Factory soft cases from equipment manufacturers may be customized by removing or modifying logos if desired.

Depends on

  • The MK-V manufacturer of the soft case was never definitively identified in the thread.
  • Custom case dimensions require careful measurement or professional assistance, as incorrectly sized cases may result in oversized final products.
  • Pricing information is incomplete and from 2011, so current costs would differ.
  • Feedback on the Christian Workshop cases comes from individual user experience rather than systematic comparison testing.
