FAQ
Can Kexin handle the ARRI Amira sensor carefully?
Yes. Amira sensor is the most expensive component. Kexin uses 60 kg/m³ high-density foam with CNC precision cavity. Foam absorbs shock before reaching sensor. AQL 2.5 inspection ensures foam dimensions are correct.
What about lens case? Do I need a separate case?
Lens (e.g., ARRI Signature Prime) typically goes in a separate hard case. Kexin makes custom lens cases with precision-cut foam for each lens model. Common request: 4-lens case (USD 80-150 with foam).
Can the case survive checked airline luggage?
Yes. Kexin 8系 passes airline checked luggage standards. 2-camera case (850 × 600 × 400) is just within IATA limits. TSA-approved padlock compatible.
What about thermal management?
Amira generates heat during operation. Kexin foam is fire-retardant (UL94 HF-1). Ventilation holes in foam can be added to dissipate heat during transport (1-2 hours after shooting).
Can I add a humidity indicator?
Yes. Humidity indicator card (USD 3-5/case) can be embedded in foam to monitor moisture during transport. Critical for long sea-freight shipments.
