CPD Industries (News - Alert) offers Pelican camera cases that are appreciated for their Lifetime Warranty and capacity to withstand remarkable range of environments. Very recently, CPD Industries faced a satisfied customer Mike Sanders, who shared his rescued equipments experience after the horrors of Hurricane Katrina.

 

“My photography studio is in a 116-year-old building. Most of my equipment was on shelves and in cases, but our studio is only four feet off the ground, and flood waters reached over five feet. Needless to say, there was over a foot of water throughout the studio, even more in some spots,” said Sanders.

 

Only after two weeks after the hurricane, Sanders was able to return to his studio, but was not sure about the condition of his expensive equipment. Though he had variety of camera cases to protect cameras and lenses, all of them were not CPD shipping cases. Sanders had his fingers crossed when he returned back to his studio, but soon realized the extent of the damage — many of the carrying cases had leaked, drenching valuable batteries, lights, and other equipment.

 

Nearly everything was decomposed and waterlogged — save for the equipment in Pelican cases. The Pelican shipping cases from CPD did not mark any leakage, thus safeguarding Sanders’s specialized equipments, including all his camera lenses, strobes, accessories, tubes, and remotes.

 

“The amazing part is that one of the camera cases was on the ground. So there’s no way it could have escaped the flooding. I always knew the shipping cases were practically indestructible, but I never expected them to stand up to a test like this. If you want to keep your equipment safe, you can’t afford anything less than Pelican’s camera cases,” Sanders said.

 

The polycarbonate shell is watertight, airtight, submersion safe, and airline safe. With custom-cut foam interiors, they are the safest carrying cases for the transportation of studio and camera equipment.
