Fitting an M1 gimbal into a Pelican 1650 case
What the thread found
- The increased thickness of the M1 gimbal requires using nearly all available depth in a Pelican 1650 case, making traditional two-level inserts difficult to maintain
- A working solution involves using one case exclusively for the gimbal and another separate Pelican 1650 for the arm and vest, lined with carpet and foam
- Custom foam inserts can be designed to accommodate the thicker gimbal while still storing other components, though this requires professional cutting services
Depends on
- The thread does not resolve whether a two-level insert setup comparable to the original configuration is actually achievable with the M1 gimbal
- No dimensions provided for the gimbal or case to quantify the space constraint
- Only one custom insert solution shown, and its full contents and layout not completely detailed
