Monitor Cases and Portable Editor Cases

MOMO-1 and MOMO-2-B Monitor Cases

The MOMO performs as both a padded carrying case and a protective on-the-set tool. As a case it securely encloses and protects the monitor for transport to the location. The padded handles are designed with comfortable extra-long hand grips. You can stash cables or accessories in the exterior side pockets, while a pleated rear pocket holds a BP-90 battery, or other accessories.

When in use, the MOMO allows instant access to the screen via a zippered front flap. Releasing a single buckle opens the rear pocket, owing you quick and easy access to the rear connectors. A hood slides out from the top of the case to shade the monitor, while the sturdy, adjustable inclining leg flips out from under the MOMO to support the monitor at the desired viewing angle. Sliding the hood into position uncovers a mesh vent to help keep the monitor cool.

MOMO-1 is for 5" monitors and comes with its own rain cover included. MOMO-2-B is designed for 8" to 10" monitors, is equipped with the SPAD Shoulder Strap and also includes a rain cover.
