Mounting in a 1120 case

[Scott Feltch]

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's all that there's to it. If you don't have the power tool, you can take the inside of the case down with a chisel -- but you'll soon understand why they don'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've got him hooked, guys. If we just ease him a little deeper into it, he's our for a couple years or a dozen cameras, whichever comes first!!!
