Geoptik ELEPHANT Hermetic Outdoor Case - 687 mm x 528 mm x 276 mm

Geoptik Hard Case Elephant with Rollers

The hard case from Geoptik is suitable for the transport and storage of sensitive parts like mounts, optics or compact telescopes and astronomical accessories. The cases are manufactured in Italy.

The Elephant cases are built to withstand the harshest conditions and provide optimum protection for the interior. Even extreme temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C do not deform the case. The cases are waterproof and dustproof, so that sensitive accessories can be taken along optimally on air travel, safaris or simply on an astro-session.

The case 30B055 has wheels and side handles, but is delivered without foam insert. This can be ordered separately, just like a trolley kit (see recommended accessories).

Storage of astronomy cameras

Humidity can quickly end a good series of exposures. Especially with cooled cameras, moisture can cause the protective glass on the sensor to ice over. But also correctors and filters are affected by dew. A good storage is the most gentle prevention against dew. During storage, the silica gel in the airtight case "sucks" the moisture of the night out of the camera and the filters. At the same time, the case prevents the moist room air from penetrating. The dry storage improves the longevity of the cameras, filters, correctors, but of course also eyepieces, and the parts are always ready in optimal condition. You can find the silica gel in our product recommendations.
