FAQs

Can this case fit more than three NEO 3 lights?

No, the case is specifically designed to hold a maximum of three Rotolight NEO 3 lights along with their associated accessories.

Is the case truly submersible?

The case is constructed to be waterproof and offers protection against submersion according to its IP rating, but it is not designed for prolonged underwater use. Always ensure seals are clean and the air release valve is properly managed.

What specific accessories are included in the capacity?

The case can hold up to 3 NEO 3 lights, 3 diffuser domes, 3 compact light stands, 3 barn doors, and one optional BEO PSU.

How do I check if it will fit on my flight?

You should measure the external dimensions of the case and compare them directly with the carry-on baggage size restrictions published by your specific airline on their official website.

What maintenance is required for the seals?

Periodically wipe the rubber seals with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure they are dry and in good condition to maintain the waterproof integrity of the case.

What should I do if the air release valve is stuck?

Gently try to turn the valve. If it remains stuck, inspect it for any foreign particles or obstruction. Clean around the valve mechanism carefully. Avoid excessive force.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to close or latches won't secure.

Ensure no accessories are obstructing the lid or seal. Check that components are seated correctly within their foam cutouts. Verify the air release valve is in the correct position for closing.

Water ingress detected inside the case.

Inspect the rubber seals around the lid for damage or debris. Ensure the seals are clean and properly seated. Check that the air release valve is fully closed when sealed.

Wheels are stiff or difficult to roll.

Check the wheels for obstructions like dirt or debris. Clean the wheel mechanisms. If necessary, apply a small amount of lubricant to the axle.

Pressure build-up causing lid to bulge.

Ensure the air release valve is opened to equalize pressure, especially after changes in altitude or temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open the latches on the case. Locate the air release valve and ensure it is in the 'open' position before closing the case.
  2. Carefully place each Rotolight NEO 3 light into its designated slot, ensuring any attached accessories like diffuser domes or barndoors are positioned to fit without forcing.
  3. Store batteries, power supplies, and cables in the integrated accessory pockets.
  4. Close the case firmly, ensuring all latches engage properly. The air release valve should be closed if storing or transporting in stable atmospheric conditions.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for the Rotolight NEO 3 light.
  • Accommodates specific accessories: diffuser domes, compact light stands, barndoors, batteries, and power supplies (BEO PSU).
  • Always check the internal dimensions against your specific accessories if they deviate from standard offerings.
  • Airline Compatibility: While designed to comply with most airlines, *always* verify current carry-on size and weight restrictions with your specific airline before flying, as policies can vary.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the case is completely dry before storing.
  • Latches and Seals: Periodically check latches for smooth operation. Clean the rubber seals with a damp cloth to maintain their integrity and ensure a proper waterproof seal. Apply a silicone lubricant sparingly if needed.
  • Air Release Valve: Ensure the valve operates freely. Clean any debris that may accumulate around it.
  • Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
