pelican-application-image-rackmount-05

In the fast-paced world of film and music production, ensuring your gear is protected and ready to go at a moment’s notice is critical. Whether you’re managing a tight production schedule, moving from set to set, or traveling with delicate audio equipment, the last thing you want is to lose time or money due to damaged gear. That’s where our custom cases come in.

 

Why Custom Cases Matter for Film & Music Professionals

Film and music professionals rely on highly sensitive, often expensive equipment. Cameras, lenses, drones, lighting rigs, sound mixers, and other electronics need to be handled with care, especially when transporting them to different locations. Off-the-shelf cases may not offer the protection or precise fit required to keep everything safe. With custom foam inserts and durable cases like those from Pelican, your equipment can be secured and transported with confidence.

Here at Custom Case Pros, we specialize in designing custom cases tailored specifically to the needs of your equipment. Each case is meticulously crafted to provide optimal protection and organization, ensuring that every piece of gear has a secure place to rest when not in use. From high-end cameras and audio mixers to fragile lighting kits, our custom cases keep everything intact.

 

Durability Meets Versatility

Our cases don’t just protect your equipment—they’re built to last. With Oklahoma’s film and music industries growing rapidly, production crews need gear that can withstand the wear and tear of constant use and transport. Pelican cases, for example, are known for their rugged durability. They’re water-resistant, dust-proof, and shock-proof, ensuring your gear is safe, no matter the conditions.

 

Pelican Rack-Mount Cases for Server & Sound Equipment

When it comes to transporting more complex equipment like servers, sound mixers, or other rack-mounted systems, Pelican’s Rack-Mount Cases provide the perfect solution. These cases are designed specifically for sensitive electronics that require rack mounting, making them ideal for sound engineers or production teams that need to transport heavy-duty sound and server equipment securely.

Here are some standout features of Pelican Rack-Mount Cases that make them perfect for your film or music production needs:

  1. Rugged Rotomolded Construction: One-piece rotomolded body and lids exceed Air Transport Association (ATA) Specification 300, Category I requirements, offering unmatched durability.

  3. Rack Frames: Lightweight extruded aluminum frames or steel frames are available, designed to meet ANSI/EIA-310-C standards for universal rack mounting.
  4. Double-Walled Rim with Tongue-in-Groove Seal: This design creates a splash and rain-resistant seal, with airtight and watertight options available on request.
