Photography Laptop Case

PROBLEM: As a pro photographer specializing in ‘location-based’ advertising images (which is photo-speak for shooting in-the-field instead of in-studio), I often face the challenge of shooting under conditions that do not allow for the comforts of Mac Pros and Cinema Displays to review images, download cards, or shoot direct to the hard drive. (We often have to helicopter into locations, are out in the remote without option at generator, or find ourselves in places where speed and efficiency are key.)

SOLUTION: As a solution to this problem–and in the theme of ‘do-it-yourself’–my team and I recently developed a cool, custom laptop case for addressing these needs using simple, durable, and readily-available materials. Today, we end up using this setup a fair bit and I thought that many in our community might benefit from a quick instructional video (above) highlighting how to put their own one case together for cheap. Hopefully, pro shooters find this a nice compromise for those times when you can’t get your big-boy computers on location, and amateurs find this a great solution for taking their laptop along for the ride.

Below you’ll see a couple snapshots of Scott, my pal and Digital Assitant whiz, using our case on location in Jackson Hole/Grand Targhee, WY, at an REI shoot last week…

…As well as a couple images from the shoot we were downloading and reviewing at the time.

Anyway, this thing is pretty slick and really easy to make. If you have questions, post a comment or drop a note and I’ll holler back when I have a minute. Thanks!

    I would like to show my gratitude for your kindness for people that absolutely need help with this particular content. Your very own dedication to getting the message all-around became particularly good and have in most cases encouraged girls much like me to achieve their goals. This informative guideline implies so much to me and much more to my office colleagues. Thanks a lot; from each one of us.

    One more issue is that video games are generally serious as the name indicated with the principal focus on studying rather than enjoyment. Although, it comes with an entertainment feature to keep your sons or daughters engaged, each one game will likely be designed to work towards a specific skill set or course, such as mathematics or scientific research. Thanks for your posting. biuro rachunkowe
