REVIEW: Camkix GoPro Case

This case is an interesting attempt at solving an issue faced by many GoPro users; an issue I myself have faced. When you have so many different accessories for one camera, how do you store them all together safely? – And I don’t mean safely as in a locked cabinet, I mean while out on a shoot or traveling. My solution used to be a bunch of rolled up T-shirts in a backpack with my kit placed between them, but after a while they’d all find their way back to each other and that just ends with broken kit.

So, that led me to this beauty; an elegant solution to a vexing problem. Because, yes, there are customisable cases already on the market, but they are often huge, way too big for the small camera and accessories and not very compact when it comes to transporting them on foot. So this case which is about the same size as a small laptop is easy to take about, but fits the gear nicely.

So, the customisable aspect of the case is probably why most of you have clicked onto this page. First off, it is very simple, you only need your hands to do it. No tools required and the case comes with clear instructions. Once carved to your liking, as long as you haven’t left massive gaps, the case will protect your kit very nicely. One thing I would note is that if you leave only a 1 cubes distance between objects over a fair length, for example the bobber and my extension pole in the video, the line that is only 1 cubes width becomes slightly wobbly and only offers full protection if both items are in the case. Not a problem for me as I always take these two pieces of kit with me, but if you sometimes leave stuff at home, I would make sure you leave a 2 cube gap between each item.

Now, onto the mesh pocket. The mesh pocket is really useful, I keeps all the bits of small kit like batteries, cables and bolts safe and snug.
I haven’t had the guts to test the case to its absolute limits, but I have seen on the CamKix blog exactly what it is capable of so I think it’ll be okay will my rambling and small hill climbing.

Overall then, great case. It offers ample protection, is easy to use and customise and fits more than enough kit for even the biggest of shoots. Recommend it? You’re damn right I recommend it!
