hardbox options for dslr

[CrazyCarl]

From what I understand from your post, you want to put ALL of your gear in this box? Chargers, batteries, lenses and all? That would be a big ol' heavy box sitting way up high on your bike. How do you want to handle the weight distribution?

Probably either plastic or metal would work just fine. If the camera gear you're carrying is worth it's salt it should be able to take a bit of punishment anyway.

A couple considerations:

Plastic boxes, tend to be black and if you're riding in an area with intense sun, you may expose your internal gear to excessive temperature variations. On the other hand they may be cheaper, lighter and are usually extremely waterproof.

Haven't really used metal boxes myself but I would guess that they would not tend to get as hot and if they did, would loose their heat faster. Their weight would be a consideration as well I suppose and from what I hear, can be down-right pricey!

As usual, it's 6 in one - 1/2 dozen in the other.
