Why would you want a hard case for carry on, if I may ask? I don't think you'd get that on ANY domestic flight in Oz as they're strict about the 7kg limit here. The bag would weigh more than the gear.

I'll occasionally use a hard case in the car where I can chain it to the structure. But for air travel I'd have an ultra light wheelie bag (which you can also put foam in). Personally, on a plane, I'd put all your gear in a Small Wandred backpack and have room left over.

The link is to mobile 2.....the opening of 1 is nothing like that (which is not surprising)

The problem with all things I.T. Is that things are usually straightforward, but seldom any instructions for anyone new.

The video is so quick from sequence to sequence, there isn't time to take in....turning the loud music off helps.... (Why do any content providers think music helps?)

With a thumbnail of images downloaded to PM1, there is few controls or menus to take things to the editing stage.
This is why I think something is amiss.

I will try to post a screenshot of what appears....problem is the world has moved on from 2016.

I omitted to say I have the mk1   

Thanks for the link. I will take a look.

I have the Peli Air 1535 with the Trek-Pak inserts which makes its so easy to customise for when I use different bodies and/or lenses.
It is a big case, and I have NEVER flown with it. Why not? A lot of my flights ( Arctic, Antarctica, South Africa) all involve both International and then local flights. International: Carry On for business class is most usually 23kg. No worries there. BUT then the local leg, sometimes its all economy, is much restricted, we've had as little as 6 kg but I'd say 8-10 kg average. Thats quite limiting and that Peli 1535 would be too much. Also, you're not likely to be able to "buy" weight as some have suggested.

PM1 is only compatible with the original X1D

X1DII, 907X, X2D need PM2

Good morning all,

A bit of advice required. I am relatively new to the X system. I have an X2D, 28P & 90V lens. Also still have a Leica M11 with a couple of M lenses. Accessories such as lens cleaner/wipes, filters, etc.

Can anyone advise, based on experience, or recommend the internal size I would be looking at for a carry-on hard case. I plan to have a foam insert.

Many thanks.

Paul

If I'm not mistaken that's the filter thread/cap size - not the hood.

Do you know the diameter of the hoods?

Cheers.

Paul

Paul, the diameter of the 28P hood is 85mm. I don't have the other lens.

The hoods are the same diameter but different length. I am using a P28 hood on the 90V.
