How to use

Open the secure release latches and adjust or remove the interior padding to create compartments that fit your camera body, lenses and accessories. Place heavier items at the bottom and ensure all components are cushioned by the foam inserts to minimize movement. Close the lid and fasten the latches until they click to ensure the hermetic seal is engaged. When flying, allow the automatic pressure release valve to equalize cabin pressure automatically; do not attempt to force the valve open. Use the telescopic handle and wheels for transport and engage the self-locking system as needed to prevent accidental extension.

Usage recommendations

For best protection, clean and dry equipment before packing, distribute weight evenly, and check that foam inserts fit snugly around each item. When using in wet or dusty environments, verify that latches and seals are free of debris before closing. Attach compatible modular accessories only to the provided metal pins and secure them according to the accessory manufacturer’s instructions.
