Panasonic VariCam LT & VariCam 35 — Cases & Transport Protection
VariCams are still earning their keep in doc, episodic, and rental fleets years after launch — and a working camera deserves a working case. Here is how full VariCam packages travel, with 3 ATA builds we already cut foam for.
- Super 35 Dual Native ISO
- VariCam 35 and LT packages
- 3 case builds
- Wheeled options
About this equipment
The Panasonic VariCam 35 and its lighter sibling, the VariCam LT, are Super 35 4K cinema cameras best known for dual native ISO — the low-noise high-ISO trick the VariCam line made famous, which changed how a generation of cinematographers lit night work. Panasonic kept the platform current well past launch, adding tools like Ed Lachman ASC's EL Zone exposure system to both the LT and the 35 via firmware, which is part of why these bodies are still on carts and in rental fleets rather than on shelves.
A VariCam never travels as a bare body. The 35 is a modular block — camera, EVF, control panel, shoulder kit — and the LT adds its own handle, EVF, and battery plates. Our layouts cut a cavity for each module so nothing rides loose, with wheeled ATA shells for the full-package builds because a complete VariCam kit is a rolling load, not a carry.

Transport knowledge
EVFs, control panels, and connector blocks — the bits that stick out. A body that travels with modules attached in soft padding grinds every attachment point on every bump. Cavity-per-module foam is the fix: each piece supported on its own, nothing levering against a mount.
One camera, one case: body, EVF, control panel, plates, and cabling in a single wheeled ATA shell means load-in is one trip and nothing gets left on the truck. That is exactly what the full-package builds below are cut for.
VariCams live in multi-camera fleets — doc units, studio pairs, rental inventory. Matched layouts mean any tech can pack any camera correctly, and inventory checks happen at a glance. Multi-unit sets are what we build best.

Frequently asked questions
No — they are different bodies with different module stacks, so we cut foam per camera. The builds below are labeled for the package they fit; tell us which camera and which modules you run and we match or adapt the layout.
Yes — that is the point of the package layouts: a cavity per module, so the camera travels complete and nothing rides loose. If your kit differs from a catalog build, request a quote and we adapt it.
Builds shown here are made to order and typically ship in 7–10 business days. New layouts are quoted per project.
