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.
