Camera case/box

[lynck49]

Not quiet the right description, but I need something to carry my camera equipt in on the bike. Needs to be 100% waterproof and (ideally) accident/crash proof. I want to keep the BMW top box but I'd like to remove the passenger seat and replace it with a hard box to carry camera body, 2 or 3 lenses, filter kit, etc and strap a tripod to the top. Anyone know of a make/manufacturer in the UK? I once came across one in the USA but I've lost the details and in any event, the shipping costs could be high.

I could stick with using my car but the bike affords a few more options when going off road.

Thanks, K.

I use a plastic food container with4 snap shut clips holding the lid on lid from Tesco with some of that grey foam padding you can shape by pulling the little squares off , (buy it in sheets from Jessops)made to take the shape of the camera body glued into the bottom of the box. There is enough room in the box for an exra lens, battery and charger.

Cheap totally waterproof and easy...

If you ride a 1200GS You could start with one of these:

And then bolt any kind of box you want to it.

Apparently this fixes to the rear platform using 2 hooks and the pillion seat lock point.

As the company's website is Java based I can't easily link directly to the description although 8132347 is the order number and if you start with

and then drill down through BMW and R1200GS you should find it.

Site is in German but most products have an English description once you get down to them

What you saw in the US was probably a Pelicase
