Storage layout and customization

The box includes four removable and interchangeable dividers. As a result, you can customize the internal layout to fit the exact mix of tools and supplies you carry. Also, the front box has a fixed pen holder with variously sized holes to accommodate pens and essential cine tools.

Slate and tool organization

Slots on the underside of the Front Box hold a standard sized slate movie clapboard. This keeps the slate accessible yet out of the way when not in use. In addition, the box accommodates items such as markers, cleaning supplies and tools, so you can organize everything needed for camera-assistant duties in one place.
