Our 34-litre IP67 rated waterproof protective case assure professional-grade protection in a robust, practical and affordable format. As a flagship product in the MAX case range, it combines certified waterproof and dustproof performance with useful design features that make it a reliable choice across multiple industries.
Importance of waterproof and dustproof protection
Modern cameras, video equipment, electronics and technical tools are highly sensitive to environmental exposure. Moisture can quickly damage internal components, while dust and fine particles can cause long-term wear, mechanical failure, or image and sensor issues. Waterproof cases for cameras and accessories are a necessity for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
The MAX505 is rated to IP67 - it’s completely protected against dust ingress and resistant to water immersion for short periods. Typically tested for up to 30 minutes at a depth of at least one metre, this rating provides reassurance when working in heavy rain, coastal environments, on boats, or near rivers and lakes. As a dustproof case, it also performs exceptionally well in dry, sandy, or industrial locations where airborne particles are a constant risk. This dual protection makes it a dependable solution among waterproof equipment cases for demanding real-world use.
Built to recognised military standards
In addition to its IP67 rating, the MAX505 has been tested and certified to NATO STANAG and DEF-STAN standards. These widely recognised benchmarks for durability, environmental resistance and overall performance indicate the case has undergone rigorous testing, reinforcing its suitability for professional, industrial and specialist applications.
Constructed from tough, impact-resistant materials, this heavy-duty plastic storage box can withstand knocks, drops and pressure during transport. It’s designed to protect high-value equipment in environments where reliability is critical.
Capacity designed for versatility
With a capacity of 34 litres, the case offers generous internal space, while remaining practical to transport. Ideal for carrying SLR or mirrorless cameras, HD video cameras, multiple lenses, audio equipment, drones, GPS units and essential accessories, it also suits users who prefer to keep an entire kit together, rather than splitting equipment across multiple smaller cases.
Internally, the case measures 500mm in length, 350mm in width and 194mm in height. The internal lid height of 58mm and internal base height of 136mm allow for organised storage and layered protection. These dimensions make it suitable not only for photographic and video equipment, but also as a marine waterproof box for sensitive electronics and navigation devices. External dimensions are 555mm long, 428mm wide and 211mm high.
Despite its solid construction, it weighs just 3.86kg when empty, striking a balance between durability and portability. A load-tested soft grip handle ensures comfortable carrying, even when the case is fully loaded. Integral shoulder strap holes provide additional carrying options, and while a strap is not supplied, this feature allows users to customise the case to their preferred transport method. Two padlock holes add a layer of security, making the case suitable for travel, shared workspaces, or storage in vehicles and boats.
Practical design features that add value
A watertight seal around the lid prevents water and dust from entering the case, while the automatic pressure release valve equalises internal pressure. This is particularly beneficial during air travel, or when moving between different altitudes, as it allows the case to be opened easily without compromising the seal.
Four double throw latches keep the lid securely closed, even under vibration or impact. Full-length, corrosion-free hinges ensure smooth operation and long service life - especially important for marine users exposed to saltwater environments.
Available in black or high-visibility orange; you can choose between a discreet professional appearance or easy identification in busy or low-light conditions.
With or without foam: a flexible choice
One of the standout features is the option to purchase it with or without foam. This flexibility allows users to tailor the case to their specific needs. The foam option includes two sheets of pick and pluck cubed foam, each 55mm thick, along with a 20mm foam base layer. This configuration enables precise customisation, ensuring equipment is held securely and protected from movement and impact during transport.
For users who prefer a more open interior, the foam-free option is equally practical - suitable for larger items, irregularly shaped equipment, or users who already have padded inserts. Importantly, foam does not have to be a permanent decision. Replacement and additional foam sets are available separately under product code SPUMAX, allowing the case to evolve as equipment requirements change, without the need to replace the entire unit.
Wide range of suitable uses
For photographers and videographers, it’s a reliable case for cameras, lenses, audio gear and accessories. Outdoor adventurers can use it to protect electronics, communication devices, or specialist equipment in unpredictable weather. Travellers benefit from its padlockable design and rugged construction, while marine users can depend on it as a robust waterproof box for equipment exposed to spray, humidity and occasional immersion.
Beyond these core audiences, the case also proves valuable in other sectors. Engineers and technicians can use it to transport testing equipment and tools to remote or industrial sites. Emergency services may find it useful for safeguarding medical devices, communication units, or response equipment in adverse conditions. Surveyors, researchers and field scientists can rely on it to protect sensitive instruments during fieldwork, where environmental exposure is unavoidable.
Considering size options
While the 34-litre capacity offers excellent versatility, not every user requires a case of this size. For those carrying smaller kits or compact devices, a smaller alternative, such as the 20-litre IP67 rated waterproof protective case, may be more appropriate. Delivering the same waterproof and dustproof performance and certified to IP67 and military standards, the lighter and more compact format ensures users can select the most efficient size for their specific application.
For anyone seeking waterproof hard cases that perform reliably in real-world conditions, this is a strong investment. It protects valuable gear, supports changing requirements and delivers confidence wherever your work or adventures take you.
