ECO Series

Frequently Asked Questions about the ECO Series

• Who is the ECO Series right for — and when should I choose the XTREME Series instead?

  The ECO Series is the right choice for everyone who needs solid, reliable protection for their equipment without the demands of professional continuous use under extreme conditions. It is particularly well suited for hobby drone pilots and travel photographers, for users who use their case occasionally to regularly, and for anyone looking for a great price-performance ratio when protecting their equipment. The ECO Series offers IP65 protection — meaning complete protection against dust and water jets from any direction — while being lighter and more compact than the XTREME models. You should choose the XTREME Series if you use your case daily in tough outdoor conditions, need IP67 waterproofing (including brief submersion), a lifetime guarantee is important, or you work in a field that requires military or government certifications. In short: the ECO Series reliably protects in everyday use — the XTREME Series is for those who cannot afford to make compromises.

• Is the ECO Series really waterproof — what does IP65 mean in practice?

  Yes, all models in the ECO Series are IP65 certified — meaning complete protection against dust and protection against water jets from any direction. In everyday terms: rain, splash water and humid environments are no problem. What IP65 does not cover, unlike IP67, is temporary submersion in water — if you need your case in extreme wet conditions, you should opt for the XTREME Series with IP67. For the vast majority of use cases — outdoor photography, drone flights in light rain, transport in a car boot or on construction sites — IP65 provides perfectly adequate protection. All ECO cases are also equipped with a fully automatic pressure equalisation valve that compensates for pressure differences when flying while simultaneously protecting against moisture.

• What makes the ECO Series sustainable — is it really made from recycled material?

  Yes, the ECO Series is made from recycled polypropylene — meaning that no new raw material is required for production, but processed recycled material is used instead. This noticeably reduces the carbon footprint of production and makes the ECO Series the sustainable choice for everyone who values responsible use of resources. Sustainability in the ECO Series does not come at the expense of quality — the cases offer solid IP65 protection, are robustly manufactured and designed for daily use. So anyone who wants to reliably protect their equipment while making a conscious contribution to sustainability is in exactly the right place with the ECO Series.

• Are there ECO cases available as precision-fitted drone or camera cases?

  Yes, the ECO Series is not only available as a universal transport case — we also offer precision-fitted ECO models for many popular drones and cameras. This means the case is delivered with a pre-configured foam inlay that is perfectly matched to the respective device and its accessories — without you having to do anything yourself. ECO drone cases and ECO camera cases offer the same IP65 protection and the same build quality as the universal ECO models — just perfectly fitted to your device. An overview of all available precision-fitted ECO models can be found in our drone case and camera case categories.
