Just got my 1120 cases. Ordered 2. Never gave a thought since everyone is using them. Canon Owl Pf is to wide to fit in the case in a upright position. If you put the case in a vertical position there isnt enough room to mount the rs426 sensor and the camera together. Anyone have this problem or is there a answer to this?

Welcome aboard, Scott. Just get a cylindrical shaped attachment for a hand tool, and "wipe" a few strokes off each side of the inside of the 1120. Then chisel or otherwise remove the little hump that the strap goes through. That&#39;s all that there&#39;s to it. If you don&#39;t have the power tool, you can take the inside of the case down with a chisel -- but you&#39;ll soon understand why they don&#39;t have any trouble selling those power tools.

Shufigo,

Ok, I have a cylinder style grinder that mounts on my drill along with a cylinder sander. Small enough to do the job. I did it and it fits great. Thanks for you post. Help me get past this hurdle.

Thanks,

Scott

HHMmmmm -- starting to sound like another satisfied customer. I think we&#39;ve got him hooked, guys. If we just ease him a little deeper into it, he&#39;s our for a couple years or a dozen cameras, whichever comes first!!!
