Everything in the world is about hybrids.
We've got a hybrid, a SKB Case with a Think Tank Case.
Now there is a hybrid worth talking about.
Hi, this is JP Morgan.
Today on The Slanted Lens, we're gonna take a look at a new series of cases by SKB.
These are fabulous cases because I love SKB cases.
Those hard cases that protect your equipment.
What they've done is they're having Think Tank make interiors for their cases.
So here's two or three different cases.
This is a smaller version.
This is the 1309.
This is a great size case.
But it now comes with a fabulous Think Tank interior.
So you've got the great dividers, the Think Tank dividers, you got the Think Tank organizer
on the top.
Have the ability to open this up and put something in here.
Either, maybe a small laptop or definitely an iPad.
This becomes a great case.
This then goes into this cover...
this soft cover.
You wanna put this all together.
So, this is a great case AND a great size.
This one excites me a lot but not as much as this one.
It's a hard case, it's a carrying case that has on with it the wheels, so I can roll it.
It's a roller case.
Has a great single...single handle button on the side handle, which I love.
But this is the reward for me.
Inside, when I open this baby up, this comes out and it's a backpack that I can take with
me when I get to my destination, I can now take it out and I can go do whatever I need
to do.
I carry my camera equipment on my back.
I love this configuration.
I've always wanted this.
Because I want a hard case to be able if I have to, I can check it on the airplane, I
was in Fiji once and I couldn't get my airplane...my equipment on the airplane, they had to check
it.
Smaller airplane and so I sent my case.
Made me very nervous.
In this situation, I would feel comfortable checking it if I had to.
So you have plenty of room in here.
I can put everything I need there.
I can put my one or two bodies AT 2470, 7200, a 1530.
I can put all of that in this case without any problem, I can slip in my sound device.
I only carry 1101 sound device and I am good to go.
So this is the perfect setup if you're gonna be going on location.
If you want something to either carry on, to protect your equipment.
But then the ability to be on the road and on the go when you get there and not have
to carry that hard case.
That just goes right back in there.
And...whoop, wrong end.
Ready to travel.
Love that thought.
So that's a 2011 backpack case there.
Great case to setup.
The last one here is a monster.
Actually used to be a rocket launcher case.
And I think that is so cool.
So but this rocket launcher case has all the same things that these do.
They have Think Tank interiors.
So, wanna muscle this baby on here.
That is a great case.
It's a great case, it's huge.
It's got everything I need for my bahas, my stands.
This case goes on the airplane, no problem.
You throw it on the airplane, you check it, pick it up on the other side.
Of course, we're all flying.
As media people, if you're not flying as a media person, you're crazy.
If you're wondering about the media thing, check out the lessons we have to talk about
how to make your own media pass to be able to travel on the media rate.
Media rate.
Anyway, so this is a 4213, which is a nice size equipment case for all your strobes,
your LEDs.
If you'll take them out on location, just a fabulous case for that.
These are not the only cases that SKB and Think Tank have teamed up to work on together.
There are other sizes.
This 2015 is a nice size case, it's big, it's got room for all your equipment.
It's got great organizer in the lid.
This comes in a lot of different sizes.
You can check out the sizes we got listed below in the write-up and on our affiliate
programs.
So, just to wrap this up, the reason I like this so much is because I love the hard case
that SKB makes.
Because it's waterproof and so you don't have to worry about taking it out in the rain.
It just has the ability to travel because you can beat it to death.
I stand on these things all the time.
You know, so they're just durable, they're made to resist.
And, and then you add a Think Tank interior, which gives you great soft dividers and a
great organizational area in the case.
This is a great set of cases and a great effort from SKB and Think Tank cases.
