SniperCJ 0 #1 July 15, 2003 Got a new TRV camera (the 27) and a Bonehead D-box. Most of the cameras I see in boxes still have the hand strap on them. This box doesnt seem to have the room in there for the hand strap. I would rather not remove it if I dont have to. Its one of the new Bonehead boxes with the hinge on one side and the hinge looking closure on the other. On the older D-box, the top nested in the bottom, right, and you held the top on with a couple of fastex straps. Any ideas? I might just do what I did with the PC9 and fabricate an L bracket and pad it so I can leave the hand strap on. I dunno... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canuck 0 #2 July 15, 2003 I've got the new style of d-box on one of my helmets. With my TRV 17, the hand strap just fits in, but it's a very tight squeeze. I actually don't mind though, it basically acts like a piece of foam in that it keeps the camera nice and snug so it can't move inside the box. See if you can't squeeze it in.

skychic68 0 #3 July 15, 2003 I have the new box with my TRV 27. I also had problems with it fitting in nicely. I wound up getting the job done by using a seam ripper to take off the "Sony" handle. I kept the bridle of the handle on the camera and just tied it in a knot if I ever need to use the camera with the handle. If i decide to I can always sew the nice strap back on. But it did solve the problem if the camera fitting in. I have also placed a thin layer of neoprene inside the box so that encloses the enitre camera when it is closed. I think it protects the camera much better from scratches from the box as well as moisture. I do however like the box, even though it may be a teeny bit bulkier.

SniperCJ 0 #4 July 15, 2003 Chic, Do you use an additional strap over the top of the D-box or just go with the closure as manufactured by BH? Im not sure I feel too secure with just that wire threaded thru the 'hinge' thing. Thanks for the info. That sounds like it might work. JC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
