Photo by Lola Akinmade

Judging by only a looks, this neat hard-shelled Fort Knox-secure black box that arrived upon my doorstep was a classic beauty.

Slappa produces a line of tough bodied CD, DVD, laptop cases, backpacks, as good as identical containers written to protect your gear. Its brand new Photo Locker is a tough physique print box geared towards traveling photographers. Its done from a xEVA glow retardant, waterproof bombard as good as an in-built HoneyComb frame for support.

The locker has two pass sections (in addition to a couple middle pockets). Its main territory comes with thirteen Velcro lined removable/re attached walls which we can use to divide up a box as good as reconfigure a layout for various equipment. The second territory contains a large pocket for computer cables as good as such as good as sufficient space to fit your laptop.

Here have been some-more specs upon a Photo Locker from Slappa:

  • Super-cush middle physique cradle for one some-more protection
  • 13 Super-cush inner, mobile dividers
  • Independant laptop sleeve (made from 1680D Ballistix nylone), your preference of 15.4 or 17
  • PRO-Grade Shoulder tag with counterpart plated amalgamate clips
My experience

After taking a couple beauty shots of a case, we loaded it with during slightest 4 different lenses, my outmost peep unit, an extra Nikon camera physique with an already attached lens, as good as a small alternative gear, as good as was left a small embarrassed personally.

Phot! o Locker

The print locker swallowed up all my apparatus within a cushy interior, withdrawal a ton of extra space for some-more stuff. It could easily fit 2-3 pro-level camera bodies, during slightest 1-2 prolonged operation telephoto lenses more.

Its two separate sections concede we to keep your laptop, peripheral devices, cords, cables, as good as alternative intensity camera or lenses scratching culprits away from your photography gear.

In terms of being a mobile office, a Photo Locker can additionally reason laptops up to 17 inches wide, 4-5 outmost tough drives, as good as everything else gadgetwise we need.

The box felt flattering lightweight for a distance so we was quite astounded to find out upon a specifications piece that it actually weighs 18 lbs empty; a major plus for Slappa.

My only issue

Before my recent trip to Sicily, Id seriously considered carrying a Photo Locker upon board as palm luggage given thats in conclusion what many photographers cite to do given many airlines have been notorious for violation guitars as good as alternative profitable equipment.

Photo Locker

Although carry-on luggage measure vary between certain airlines, a customary measure have been 22 (w) X fourteen (h) x 9 (d) for a sum of 45 all around.

The Photo Lockers outdoor measure have been 23.62(w) x 14.96(h) x 13(d) which means it only narrowly misses a carry-on mandate by a few inches depth-wise.

While many airlines would turn a alternative way, we may wish to check what your particular airlines mandate are.

Even if we do have to check in your Photo Locker, rest assured, your rigging would be safe from damage. The box is good padded with sufficient inner cushioning as good as a extraneous shock-absorbent tough physique bombard will certainly reason up against any discontented baggage-handling.
