Hi Vincent,

Those aluminium cases that comes with pluck foam are quite hard to find, i manage to get one a year ago from a DIY store at Bugis Junction on the 3rd or 4th level (can't remember), the brand is Vanguard. I'm still using it today, way cheaper than pelican or storm cases.

are you referring to Pelican cases? Or the more expensive italian ones? There are also similar cloned ones in the market right now. You can find them in Carrefour for the clone ones (usually in orange). The Pelicans can be purchased from Peninsula Plaza camera shops. The Italian ones can be found in Plaza Singapura (2nd or 3rd level) in the camera shop. If I am not wrong, there is only one camera shop in PS, but have forgotten the name. They are quite expensive too, dearer than Pelicans. Pelicans carry life time warranty, and though they are quite expensive still, it is a well worth purchase for precious equipment. The clones are popular as eyepiece storage boxes.

Thanks Remus. I will go Carrefour and take a look first to see how durable are they.

Did you see them at Carefour Suntec or PS?

Thanks

The Suntec outlet... i am not sure if they have big enough to put the GPD mount head in, but no harm trying! Definitely saw smaller ones though! let me know too! ;P

Hi,
I put my GPDX mount head in those aluminum tool box case if I'm not bringing too many counter-weight... it's quite good and can put a lot of items inside.

Have a nice day.

Thanks

Hi,

I get it from sim lim tower and it doesn't come with cube foam. I use only a bit of the cube foam from my pelican 1550 case. I use mainly packaging foam to make the mount fit nicely in the case.

That's a nice case... how the external look like?? I think you'll soon receive a lots of PM... hee hee

Have a nice day.
