Getting equipment safely to an outdoor photoshoot location
This problem is not only faced by aspiring outdoor photographers: expensive photography equipment has to be constantly packed, transported and unpacked on location.
Even the best photography equipment may at some point succumb to damage caused by knocks and bumps and stop working properly on location. This means an entire day of work can quickly go to waste along with quite a bit of money, depending on the size of the crew. So how do you safely and conveniently transport camera bodies, lenses, lights, power supplies, light boxes and other equipment to a photoshoot location? There are several ways to properly protect expensive equipment. Besides familiar options such camera bags, cases, backpacks and plastic containers, there is also the choice of using ZARGES aluminium cases and boxes. They are water- and dust-proof and come fitted with precisely customised foam inserts, making them perfect for holding photography equipment.

Boxes and cases for photographers. What professionals say.
Patrick Temme, photographer form Dortmund
I’m impressed by the many different ways I can use the ZARGES cases with my equipment. The small wheels on the ZARGES K424 trolley box run extremely quietly, while the larger wheels allow the box to roll easily over outdoor terrain. From the design, you can really see the amount of experience ZARGES has. There are many features which are optimally designed for practical use.
I use the ZARGES cases mainly for outdoor or overseas assignments. My cameras and lenses are fully protected because the boxes fit perfectly inside airline freight containers. And there is one other small benefit: you can stand on it. I rarely need a ladder, but I sometimes need a step to stand up a little higher.
Markus Finsterwald, photographer from Munich
30% of my work involves shooting photos away from my studio in Munich. I've always used the sturdy ZARGES aluminium boxes to transport my cameras, lenses, flashes, batteries, etc. However, I had to use an additional trolley to add mobility to the boxes. This in turn took up space.
With their built-in wheels, the new K 424 XC aluminium boxes have now fully solved the issue with mobility. They may cost slightly more than other boxes, but ZARGES boxes are a worthwhile investment thanks to their extreme durability.
