Way to lock down unit?

[bigmarley]

What do you guys do when you leave your boat out? Are there any devices to lock the gimbal knobs or other ways to secure the head unit from theft? I leave my boat in a locked warehouse and want to deter theft without carrying the head unit with me.

DuraSafe Locks. I use this:

Is that a Pelican Case Bob, or maybe a "less expensive" alternative??
I would like one, but I think I can get an aluminum brief case for a LOT less the a Peli!!!

I'm sure you're aware of the cost of an 1198 and 1199. Even if I didn't get the Pelican case for free (had to order the foam kit), I would buy one brand new to protect my two Birds, plus I wanted to be like TroyBoy!!

Yeah , I know how much things cost - but an aluminum brief case is pretty stout, and the convoluted foam is relatively cheap - I actually have some plastic cases we had some of our CNC profiler tooling delivered in, but I wanted to be able to put both in the case - not carry two cases.

I guess being like troyboy is better than being a dunc...LOL!
When I had 700 series SI machines I used to carry them in a Makita Cordless Drill case - also a freebie too......

I have four of the aluminum cases. I switch what units I may be using on a particular day so I keep them separate.

Have not found one for the Helix 12 with the D RAM mount plate attached.

[ILbassin]

I keep my 2 helix 10 head units in a padded computer bag. No problems so far.

A 1630 might fit one Wayne...

If you want to go budget like Robert, you might need to do some old school garage sale-ing and find a retro over the shoulder VHS camcorder that comes with the big plastic case. Might be big enough! HA!

[sfw1960]

Nah, that's too small too...



I am using a Sterilite TRUNK and it's OK for justy a pair of Helix 12's but add a few more & it's cramped!
