Photography Laptop Case (aka Pimp Your Laptop Case)
Photography Laptop Case (aka Pimp Your Laptop Case)As a pro photographer specializing in ‘location-based’ advertising images (which is photo-speak for 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.) 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 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.

You guys should really look into Solid State Drives for your Macbook Pro and external drives if you’re traveling a lot.

mg149ex-So what are you doing to contribute? If you have nothing constructive to say then how about you don’t say it. If you watch the video I think it is self explanatory what Chase is trying to do. Share the knowledge don’t dis it!!!! Great stuff Chase keep it up!

Er…ah…sorry …
Er…ah…sorry friend, but the title of the video is Laptop CASE, not laptop and hard drives. It’s fair to think that photographers have computers and storage devices. This laptop CASE setup does cost a couple hundred bucks. Not a couple thousand.

Couple of hundred bucks? How about a couple of thousand? Three thousand to be exact….and to say nothing of the H2 Hasselblad he’s shooting (another 30,000). Get real folks!!

Thanks for the great video. This inspired me to shell out the cash and buy the case. I also made a video showing how i made my tweaks to the laptop tray. Again thanks for the videos and can’t wait to watch more.
