Review on Amazon Basics Medium Hard Camera Case - 18 x 14 x 6 inches, Black: Protective Storage for Cameras and Equipment by Justin Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No worse than the Pelican, but putting a lock on the body is more difficult than it should be.

Update 11/30/17. Downgraded to 3 stars because Royal PIA got a lock that fits the hull. The lock holes are located too close to the side wall of the bolt, making it difficult to install the lock body. The case itself is great, but since I need to close it quickly and easily for air travel, it has become tedious to use. This is a great hard shell travel case that I will use to carry my firearms when I travel. He's as strong as a pelican. I'm not sure why others have pointed out that this isn't the case. I bought the small size and it fits easily in a full size pistol (CZ 75) along with magazines and other items depending on how you pack the case. I would give 5 stars but there is a problem. The holes for attaching the padlock are very small and are too close to the lock mechanism of the body. This makes it difficult to attach and padlock easily. The holes need to be moved slightly away from the case lock. It took me a while to find a padlock that would work, but I found these Master Locks to fit (with some bickering) https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-131Q-Weatherproof-Padlock/dp/B00004Y8D4 /ref=sr_1_4?s=hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1509714886&sr=1-4&keywords=master+locks Make sure you use a 1/4" / 6mm shank Anything that will no longer fit in the holes unless , you drill them a little. Due to the proximity of the padlock holes to the padlock of the body, padlocks that are different in size from the master locks I have also knitted, the body of other padlocks may be too large, so this small one , but very important design detail is of great importance and doesn't allow it to get 5 stars.The price, quality and size of this case can't be beat.update 11/6/17 ost is exactly the same case with better padlock mounts for $29 .If you have an HB voucher ha ben, you can get it cheaper. I happened to see HB cases over the weekend.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
