Cubed Foam Protection in a Backpack Hard Case

The Panaro MAX485S is a 30 litre watertight hard case filled with cubed foam and fitted with a padded backpack harness built in, sized at 485 x 357 x 201 mm inside so a drone, camera kit or field instrument rides on your back instead of in your hand.

Panaro's datasheet lists a breathable, cushioned back support with adjustable shoulder straps and a waist belt, so the weight sits on the hips on longer walks. The case itself weighs 3.91 kg with the foam fitted. Outside it measures 544 x 408 x 215.5 mm, and it splits into a 79.5 mm lid and a 121.5 mm base. Panaro publish IP67, STANAG 4280 / DEF STAN 81-41 and MIL-STD-810H documents for the MAX485 shell.

Double throw latches, an automatic pressure release valve and holes for two padlocks look after the contents, and a soft grip handle on top means it can still be carried like a normal case. Pluck the foam cubes to the shape of your gear and the lid foam holds it down.

The MAX485S is made in Italy, according to Panaro, and shares its shell with the rest of the MAX485 family. Browse more sizes in our Panaro collection, alongside other protective cases and our defence and tactical range.
