For professionals who value reliability, scalability, and efficient workflows, the 1309-6 is a versatile partner that protects your investment without slowing you down.
- Rugged protection meets precision interior: The iSeries shell uses a high-strength polymer with an airtight, water-tight seal and an automatic pressure relief valve. It’s built to resist impact, moisture, dust, and heavy handling, so sensitive gear stays safe from the moment you load it until you reach your destination.
- Think Tank designed photo dividers & lid organizer: Inside, you’ll find Think Tank’s meticulous interior system, engineered to cradle cameras, lenses, batteries, memory cards, and accessories. The lid organizer and modular dividers keep gear separated, protected from abrasion, and easy to locate at a glance—boosting on-location efficiency and reducing the time you spend digging through foam.
- Modular, reconfigurable layout for any kit: The interior is purpose-built to adapt to a wide range of setups—from a compact mirrorless kit with a couple of lenses to a full-frame rig with multiple bodies and a travel drone. Reconfiguring the dividers is straightforward, enabling you to tailor the space to your current assignment without sacrificing protection or accessibility.
- Ergonomic design for field photographers: Reinforced handles and secure latches provide reliable handling in busy environments, while the rugged exterior shields gear from drops and collisions during transit, loading, and unloading. The case is designed to be opened and closed smoothly even with gloves on, ensuring quick access when a last-minute shot appears.
- Travel-ready reliability for demanding shoots: Built for heavy travel, this case delivers consistent performance across airports, road trips, and remote locations. The combination of iSeries durability and Think Tank’s interior organization supports efficient packing, safer gear transport, and faster setup on location, helping you stay focused on capturing great results rather than worrying about gear protection.

How to install SKB iSeries 1309-6 Case with Think Tank Designed Photo Dividers & Lid Organizer
Follow these steps to optimize protection and accessibility for your gear:
1) Unpack the case and inspect the exterior for any shipping damage. Ensure latches close cleanly and the gasket sits evenly along the perimeter for a proper seal.
2) Remove the pre-installed Think Tank dividers and lid organizer if needed. Carefully lift out any foam blocks or inserts that secure the interior layout during shipping. Keep the original foam inserts in case you need to revert to the factory configuration.
3) Plan your interior layout. Decide whether you’ll carry bodies, lenses, flashes, batteries, memory cards, or add small drones and accessories. Think Tank’s dividers are designed to be repositioned quickly, so map out zones that protect delicate glass from contact with metal, while allowing fast, one-handed access to frequently used items.
4) Reinstall or rearrange the dividers. Place the dividers in the foam slots to create snug, cushioned compartments. Ensure gear sits firmly and cannot shift during transport. Avoid overpacking; leave a little room to prevent stress on the foam and to allow easy removal of gear without scraping surfaces.
5) Place the lid organizer in its designated area. Use pockets and shallow compartments to hold small items like cables, filters, memory cards, and spare batteries. Organize by frequency of use so you can grab essential items without unpacking the whole interior.
6) Insert any additional protective padding around sensitive components. For lenses, ensure the widest diameter is cushioned to prevent contact with case walls. Consider using microfiber sleeves for especially scratch-prone surfaces.
7) Close the lid firmly and engage all latches. If you use security locks, attach a TSA-approved lock to the hasps for added protection during travel. Verify that the case remains fully sealed—listen for a consistent seal and check the gasket alignment.
8) Perform a quick shake test. Gently shake the closed case to confirm that dividers and gear stay in place. If movement occurs, reposition dividers or add extra padding in the affected zones.
9) For air travel or long-term storage, periodically inspect the gasket and lid alignment. Clean the gasket with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris that could compromise the seal over time.
10) After use, empty the case, inspect foam for wear, and replace inserts as needed. Regular maintenance ensures continued protection and preserves the interior’s ability to hold its shape, which is critical for future reconfigurations.
