Hikers and backpackers
Age group: over 18
Minimum income of £20,000 a year
Pet owners
Tech consultant
Frequent travellers
Environment of use
Dusty
Wet conditions, e.g. rain
Chance of being dropped or knocked
Outdoors or indoors
Security
Space for item to be protected
Should fit a wide variety of camera bodies
Camera lenses?
Spacers to fit smaller items
Does not have to be accessed quickly as this is only a storage solution
No power needed
Protection from humidity
Light enough to be easy to travel with when hiking
Must not be electrically conductive
Car journeys
Equipment and materials available
D3O (shock absorbing material)
Expensive
Hard to obtain as raw form is rare
Not biodegradable
3D printer
CAD software
Acrylic
Soft woods, e.g. pine
MDF
sustainable as it is made of recycled wood
Not recyclable
Laser cutter
Foam
Cheap
Some foams are biodegradeable
Waterproof fabrics, e.g. Nylon
Nylon is durable and waterproof
not biodegradable
Cheap
Problems encountered while travelling
Fragile equipment vulnerable if knocked, even if in backpack
Foam padding
Foam deforms and can lose its absorption capabilities
Relatively cheap
Widely available
D3O
Expensive
Harder to buy as it does not come in its raw form
Extremely effective at absorbing shocks as it is a non-Newtonian fluid
Foam spacers to fill gaps when item is too small for product
Security of equipment
GPS included in case
Battery needed
Lock on case
Whole case can be stolen instead
Storage solutions can be expensive
E.g. camera bags can go for £120 and are still vulnerable to impacts
Cheap solutions are not always good quality
Travelling with animals is difficult
Extra supplies needed to take care of animals
Food can smell
Bag where food's smell doesn't seep out
Electronics can be damaged by water and humidity
Product can have a waterproof, nylon based fabric to repel water
Integrated silica gel pouches absorb any moisture that gets in
Camera lenses come is different lengths and diameters
An all in one case may not be viable
Separate case for lenses?
More padding needed as lenses are more fragile
Increased cost?
Increased weight?
It is hard to organise suitcases
Partitioning the suitcase prevents contents from mixing during travel
Hard plastic cubes that can attach to one another so larger suitcases can be easily dealt with and cubes can be taken away when a smaller suitcase is used
Situation
Travelling
Hiking
Backpacking
Plane travel
Crowded streets
Chance of pickpocketing
Tech repair
Packaging of electronics
Existing solutions
Foam padded backpack
Does not do a good job at absorbing large shocks
Foam can be compressed over time and lose its effectiveness
Cheap to manufacture
Foam cases
Does not fit lenses of different sizes
