• Material strength you can count on: the case is molded from ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin, delivering a rigid, impact-resistant shell that remains surprisingly light for easy transport and stacking on location or in transit.
• Waterproof, dust-tight, and submersible design: a gasket-sealed enclosure keeps out water, dust, sand, and moisture, making the iSeries 5014-6 a dependable choice for rain-soaked shoots, humid environments, or coastal deployments; it’s built to endure immersion while preserving the integrity of delicate contents.
• Rugged protection against corrosion and impacts: engineered to resist corrosion from humidity and salt spray, as well as daily wear-and-tear from handling, bumps, and accidental drops, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding settings.
• Durable hardware and smooth operation: featuring a molded-in hinge and sturdy latches that work reliably in cold weather and with gloves, the case opens and closes securely, protecting seals and contents even after repeated use in tough conditions.
• Interior versatility with foam options: configurable foam inserts (such as Pick N Pluck or pre-cut foam) allow you to tailor the interior to fit your equipment precisely, providing snug, vibration-dampening support for cameras, sensors, optics, or delicate instruments.

How to Install SKB iSeries 5014-6 Case

• Assess and plan interior protection: choose the foam configuration that best matches your gear (Pick N Pluck or pre-cut foam) and lay a protective layer on the bottom to reduce movement during transport.
• Open and inspect the case: verify the gasket sits evenly around the opening, and ensure the latches operate smoothly before loading sensitive equipment. Clean any debris from the seal to maintain water-tight performance.
• Place equipment securely: carefully position your items within the foam cutouts or foam inserts so that each piece is immobilized and cushioned from shocks. Avoid overfilling to prevent compression of the gasket when closed.
• Seal and test the enclosure: close the case with the latches fully engaged, and perform a quick check to confirm the gasket is seated and the seal is uniform around the perimeter. If submerging is anticipated, test the seal in shallow water according to safety protocols for your environment.
• Prepare for transport: if you use optional accessories such as additional straps, wheels, or mounting hardware, install them according to manufacturer guidance. Maintain regular inspection of hinges and gaskets over time to preserve waterproof integrity.
