I bought this case as an alternative to the traditional hard plastic case for transporting my underwater photo equipment. With airlines becoming more restrictive on baggage weight limits, I needed a light-weight way to get my gear to the dive destination. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with the case's weight and strength of its construction when it was delivered, and after using it on a recent trip, I was truly impressed with how well protected my gear was. It was not cheap, but the way that it protected my photo gear, made it worth every penny.

MULTI FORMAT 1629 Lightware's largest airline checking standard. Great for lights, small stands, soft boxes and accessories. A complete location lighting kit can be assembled in this case. Let your imagination be the guide. Makes no difference if you are using strobes, tungsten or HMI. It can handle them all with ease.
The customizable divider system allows you to mix and match light sizes to suit your style. Carry a set of head extensions, grids, barn doors and gels, boxes, umbrellas and small reflectors with ease.
It could easily become the one case you can't do without. You can also look at the RMF 1629, it is the same but is the rolling version.
Whether you need to fit a medium format and/or 35 mm system, or a complete lighting system, with packs, heads, stands and umbrellas, Lightware has a Multi Format Case that will work for you.
Lightware offers many convenient Multi Format sizes to accommodate all of your packing needs. Most all of the Multi Formats also come with an outside slash pocket to store your color cards, model releases, layouts or similar items.
This specially designed pocket accepts the new Multi Z Pocket, which is actuallya mini briefcase with a removable mesh film bag. This comes in handy at airport X-ray security counters.
You will find these cases great to carry a variety of smaller strobe equipment and flash heads. Or, many of the 4x5 field view cameraswill fit nicely into these cases, as well as film, meters, film holders, lenses,and a miriad of other accessories.
Better yet, the lid of these cases, when open, can be used as a handy clean worksurface to load cameras or lay film backs on when working on location.
