------------------------
Size:
It's more than stupid, that in the item description, the dimensions are not specified. So here they are, namely internal dimensions (because they are the ones you need):
Long: 44.5 cm, width 31.5 cm, depth 9 cm.
These figures take into account the thin, firmly glued inner padding of foam, which occupies all the internal surfaces. Taking in account that this padding is damaged, you can squeeze in force objects that are about 1 cm longer or wider.
In the depth (which is the height when the case is wide) can be used in this case, significantly more than 9 cm, while maintaining the base and lid padding must be removed. This max. usable height is then at the bottom of max 8,5 cm + 3,5 cm in the cap = 12 cm.
That's significantly more than the Manfrotto 548, which is meant to be used for a DSR camera with lenses.
The case is just enough for a spotting scope Zeiss Diascope 85mm eyepiece including 20-75 + small fluid-head 701 and Carbon Tripod Manfrotto 732CY, so a complete remote observation device.
I have tentatively placed this equipment in the trunk and a customer image adjusted to illustrate the.
Equipment / Flexibility:
The foam filling is pre-cut, the small cubes have a side length of 15 mm and can be easy to make out Pullen to any bulges. A sharp utility knife is advisable. Optionally, can be used, of course, the usual partitions. These are delivered sparingly, there are only 2 pieces 31.5 cm, 12.7 cm 2 each and 1 with 17.5 cm long. The height of these partitions is uniform 7.4 cm.
The nylon shoulder strap is 36 mm wide and long enough, the built-in Anti-skid plate 44x146mm from cheap plastic, the metal parts badly polished, kidney function but good and sufficient dimensionniert.
Overall, I forgive for the Section 4 stars.
Solidity / processing:
Cheap luggage from China are assembled from thin aluminum profile bars with plates between. They quickly fall apart and the handles that are attached with 2 tiny screws, tearing off already at a load of 5-6 kg. This case is already much better, the profiles are not 2 but 3.7 mm wide, 41 studs in the lid keep the structure together (standard case: 8), while the lower part there are about twice as many (did not count) , The metal edges are not thin Kunsstoff, 2x2x2 cm and put together but made of metal (high-gloss), 5x5x5 cm and riveted 4x.
The roughly textured surface consists of highly scratch sensitive Kunsstoffplatten.
Even the plastic handle is how the rails, approximately twice as much, I guess it should rd. 15 kg bear (take a look at the screws I have not ventured to the padding to avoid damaging). He is also very well padded.
The closures are against default. They only have an alibi function, it is clear that with a suitable screwdriver, they are an attack withstand only a few seconds. The 2 outside mounted hinges are each 8-riveted (cheap Kofffer 6 rivets), there are standard versions, a little longer but we Material thickness are absolutely standard.
I use a couple of photos of both structures, so that the reader gets a practical impression of both structures, one standard suitcase, once this suitcase.
The build quality is impeccable, no bones, no sharp edges, the Spaltmasßen are very low, the parts in the assembly are clean and positioned precisely.
Due to the higher metal content (8 x glossy corners) could be more prone to the case of corrosion. I can not verify this property.
Overall, this case raises considerably from the usual luggage, offered at discount stores, or be used for astro-binoculars from China. For the solidity and processing I forgive, of course taking into account the price range, 4 stars.
Resistance:
The metal lip as where upper and lower parts meet is barely 1 mm high. A seal does not exist. Only prevents the foam padding, perforce, water leaks.
The Membranes between the cover and main body I call minimal. You should be just enough to earn the designation splashproof, said splash should never come from a hose.
Conclusion:
It's not that this case is especially high, much more he stands out from the mass of the standard suitcase, because these are inferior by the Bank.
Because, the one-eyed king in the kingdom of the blind are, this case is highly recommended.
It is made of good parts and meticulously crafted.
Aside from that, the design very well done and give more quality than is actually present.
I myself have several of them and will further order, the price-performance ratio is between good and very good.
Case of this class made in Germany are usually offered twice as expensive.
