Great quality video. Feeling confident with getting my first case after this.
This was an excellent film. Followed it exactly to set my pelican case up just now. Thanks
Love the toothpicks idea! Using it now for my first Pelican case foaming. :)
Thank you SIdney!. Directions were perfect, I just finished my first case.
Simple and awesome video. Found this today and subbed b/c this content is great! Thanks!
Perfect...! Everything I needed to know. Thanks, Sidney Reed!
Thank you! This was a very easy to follow tutorial. The toothpicks is a good tip.
Thanks for the video; actually needed this for a trip.
Perfect, was looking for a video that detailed how to use pick and pluck in the real world, cheers Sidney.
So informative, and you look so good on camera. Should definitely upload more👌👍
Very clever! Thanks!
Good video and thoughtful preparation and tips. :)
Thank you this was very helpful.
Thank you. This is very helpful
This worked great! And I found I could buy similar foam for my old Nanuk case too!
Great vid thanks 🙏🏼
wow so simple but amazing trick replacing the foam
Thank you sooooooo much I am young and in school and no one cares about my stuff even if it is a very expensive drone now I can have my stuff protected.
This was a great tutorial. Thanks for clearing that up.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful.
Nice video. Very useful. :)
thank you!!
This should have many more views.
My 1640 case broke bad! Reached out to Pelican and they replaced it!
THANK YOU
Great tips! What is the pelican case model you have in the video? thanks!
Technically, Im your 100th subscriber !!
Thank you for the tutorial :)
Slight challegening when plucking away for items which were not in a case. In my situation was limited for space, I fitted the lens vertically lens cap (logo) face up. I had to pluck out the min into the first layer and copy that to the second layer, then pluck away more from the first layer. Bit long winded but it worked for me. 🙂
excellent
hi Sidney. Thanks a lot. It was super useful. I used matches instead and just flipped them upside down when I made a new square. Anyway worked a charm!
Matches are a great idea also! Yeah it's all about plotting that grid out first. Glad to have helped.
@@sidneyreed you definitely did ! It's quite satisfying to have a nicely plotted out case 😂
Apply "Plasti Dip" so to protect the foam a little. Looks a little bit better too.
Nice video!
Thank you for this video/ Sub’d 👍🏻
alright, so i subscribed already...hope yer proud of yourself
I want to make a case for my valve index gear. Im intimidated as index controllers are a very irregular shape
Hi Sidney, great video! Mind sharing the foam-safe glue options as they aren't mentioned in the description?
No worries! You can use Gorilla Glue (get the thick gel stuff so it doesn’t run) or rubber cement (let both sides try them stick them together like tape). Just don’t use hot glue or latex, as it will melt the foam.
so helpful I want to cry
After years i went with the trekpak system- i can rearrange it easily if needed- after replacing just 2 sets of foam its about the same cost + you gain a large amount of space the foam took up also
I just got a trekpak set for my little pelican after you mentioned this. I think I like it better already for things that don't need a lot of cushion. It's a really slick system.
+1 for the zoom f1
so many good nuggets, thank you for this!
also i must be doing something wrong because none of my profs are like this 😢
You’re welcome! Everyone has their own teaching style. I’m quite passionate about film education so that might come across in how I instruct. :) But glad to supplement your learning on the side.
@@sidneyreed My second half of the comment was more me saying damn i've never had a professor this pretty (respectfully) ahah but yes it's very calming and digestible the way you explain things, and i feel that creates an environment where students are comfortable in asking questions, trying new things, messing up, which is moreso important in a field like film I'd argue.
What were the foam glue you were suggesting? I didn't see it in your description. Love the video. I'm having trouble when I pull anything out the whole foam comes out
Added to the description box! Buy it here on Amazon for about $3 - amzn.to/3CGQqto
Quick question….when flying, do you check your camera case or carry on?
I’m actually editing a Short about this! So look out this week for it. I explain how I travel with everything.
@@sidneyreed Awesome……can’t wait to see it.
Or just create Coroplast and Foam dividers. Cheaper, higher quality and highly customizable
I need to buy a new foam pack and recut it for my new camera.
is this a matrioska?
It might turn out that she really just use this to transfer her color toothpicks.
Trust me guys, all I have is flat foam without plugs, and what I'm looking for is how to make holes, small squares, with minimal tools but still neat and precise 😂
Where to buy the foam?
When you order the pelican, usually you can click the option to add it in. If not, you can always order it from them separately. I think it's around $100 depending on the size.
is that the 1620?
You are correct! My voice over was wrong (I foamed 6 cases that day). Good catch.
@@sidneyreed great video, could post the foam glue you talked about? Thanks
Tried this with non colored toothpicks it was a disaster
Im wondering why it makes a difference using color toothpicks. What happened?
FULL Tutorial of what?
Too much effort - I’ll just stick to think tank.
