The Gunner (GTC-3U) is a professional field case for the XL-H1, XL-2S, XL-2, XL-1. The Gunner case gives you a high level of protection for your delicate equipment in a soft field case, while giving you the ability to organize accessories without risk of damaging the camera.  The side viewfinder makes this camera particularly vulnerable to impact. A special armored shield is designed into the sidewall of the case to give added protection for the camera’s viewfinder. The shape of this shield is intended to deflect impact from the front and its’ extended length allows for flexibility in lens length (see detail). This approach allows us to limit camera movement inside the case during transport as the sidewalls gently hug the camera body. It also allows us to give you large organizer pockets without making the case too wide for airline travel. Giving the camera its’ own space and stowing accessories away from the camera prevents the possibility of migration of loose parts around the camera and lens. An adjustable tie-down (see detail) is sewn into the bottom of the case to give it a positive grip on your equipment during travel. It is adjustable and removable. Pockets all have oversized YKK zipper closings so you can properly secure contents. Storm flaps protect zippers against abrasion, and protect contents from dust and soggy weather and are designed to fold out of the way for easy zipper operation.  We add gussets to compartments where needed so loose valuables won’t fall out and to keep compartments from opening too far when fully unzipped.
