Pelican Case knock offs - Page 2

Grabbed two. Only one size in the store I was in. Look in the Tool section.

They opened up and removed plastic so I could check it out. Not precision, but looks robust and should keep general rain and dirt out. Not sure if you drop it in the lake or subject it to a dust-storm!

Only one thing - I'd prefer black.

Got dimensions of what it can take inside Erick? Like Humayun, I'd be interested in getting one to hold my G11 head.

I went in this afternoon as I had to go to Lismore to pick up my
youngest, The ex's lift didn't show up. I looked all over the case
section next to the tool section and couldn't find it. Eric, you
wouldn't happen to have the product code, might be on your
reciept.

Kal/Andrew, that's a fantastic idea. I've been looking for something
to put my EQ5 in. So I'd be interested in the inside dimensions
myself.

Cheers,CS

I believe there will be 3 sizes of cases. I do not know the sizing.

Not all stores have them in stock yet.

My local store has not got them yet but they will start to appear at most stores closer to fathers day.

waiting waiting....

erick (Eric) · #25 07-08-2009, 03:27 PM

I'll run my tape measure over the inside, but cannot do so before Saturday sometime.

Yes, what about my EQ5 head - perhaps I need another!

And the camera gear!

Oh, and sales receipt says:-

& 69457832016390 CASE SAFE CRAFTRIGHT BLACK PLASTIC NJ-138-18

But mine were yellow? I'd rather have black - I'll go back and check all stock.

Moon (James) · #26 07-08-2009, 04:06 PM

I might get one and try to fit my EQ6 inside.

CoombellKid · #27 07-08-2009, 04:10 PM

wasyoungonce, that's good to know

I'll keep a look out.

Eric, thanks for that

look forward to seeing the dimensions of yours.

I think I'll get one for the EQ5 head + counter weights, if they come in
an appropriate size. And if it can handle that, I'll get a smaller size for
my camera gear. If not I'll get another pelican.

Cheers,CS

The good thing about yellow is they'll be more obvious in the dark of
night. The bad news is they'll also be a becon on the backseat of
your car.

its too small for an eq6 head. Camera phone images attached

wasyoungonce (Brendan) · #32 07-08-2009, 07:35 PM

James did you buy that case? If so where from? Your only a few Klms from me but my local store does not have them yet!

Sigh!

Moon (James) · #33 07-08-2009, 07:42 PM

No I didn't get it, just took some snaps for you guys. The store I went too had heaps. Check a few stores I suppose. I hope they get some bigger sizes.

CoombellKid · #34 07-08-2009, 07:52 PM

Looks like it could/would possibly fit an EQ5 going off the outside
measurements.

Cheers,CS

I went to two Bunny's today in Melbourne and they had them on sale already for $69.

MrB (Simon) · #36 07-08-2009, 08:22 PM

Nice.
Might have to have a chat with my old-man to get me a few of these with his 20% staff discount

GrahamL · #37 07-08-2009, 08:30 PM

Better still Simon who do we have to talk to about bigger sizes and
the price of a pallet of the suckers

JethroB76 (Jeff) · #38 07-08-2009, 11:47 PM

They've had these before and only had them in this current size, so I'd be a little surprised if they get any others. Where did you hear there would be different sizes? - great if they do, I might have to go back and get some more.

acropolite (Phil) · #39 07-08-2009, 11:57 PM

There are different sizes available, whether bunnings has them all is another matter. The biggest I've seen would go very close to housing an EQ6.

Edit forgot to say Jaycar has similar cases in differing sizes ...and of course higher costs:
