Evergreen 300 Single Camera or Pistol Case - Compact IP67 Protection

In this review the Evergreen 300 is evaluated as a compact, rugged protective case for a single camera with lens storage or a single pistol with an extra magazine. The bottom line: this case is for photographers and gun owners who need a small, travel-ready hard case that truly seals out water and impact without adding bulk. Its standout reason to buy is the combination of IP67 waterproofing and custom pick and pluck foam, which lets users tailor the interior to fit delicate optics or a handgun and spare magazine for safe transport.

Key Features

• Compact internal size: The internal dimensions provide a snug fit for a single camera body with a lens or a handgun plus an extra magazine, keeping gear from shifting in transit.
• IP67 waterproofing: Rated to 1 m for 30 minutes, the case protects contents during rainy field use or brief submersion and still floats with gear inside.
• Pick and pluck foam: Customizable foam inserts allow precise padding around cameras, lenses, or firearms for tailored protection.
• Rugged construction: Impact resistant, crushproof and dustproof shell offers durable protection for electronics and optics on trips.
• Automatic pressure equalization: Built-in valve keeps internal pressure stable during altitude or temperature changes, aiding seal integrity.
• Twist lock latches: Secure closure that doubles as an air release valve to help maintain watertight performance and security.

Who It's For

The Evergreen 300 is ideal for photographers who travel light and need a safe, weatherproof place for a single camera and a lens, including compact mirrorless systems and many classic rangefinder bodies. It also suits firearm owners who want an ATA-compliant, portable case for a single pistol like a Ruger LCP or S&W Shield plus an extra magazine.

People who need heavy gear racks, multiple lenses, or large DSLR setups should look for a larger case, and those who require built-in locks or foam cut to extremely specific profiled shapes from the factory may prefer professionally foam-cut options instead.
