Unconsciously, a year has passed, and it is about to come to the New Year's Day holiday and the Spring Festival, and I saw that I still lack a suitcase, so I took advantage of the double twelve to buy one, in fact, I planted the suitcase before the door was planted a long time ago, so it is very convenient to go out to use and take things, so I took advantage of the double twelve to buy, the one-touch series of horizon 8 belongs to its very classic model, and it has been updated for so many years, and the product power is still quite reliable, combined with their own budget and appearance preferences to place an order for the second generation of products, this article will simply share the hands-on experience, and give friends with similar needs a little reference
First of all, the packaging is quite tight, there is a thick logistics box outside the suitcase, and there is also a white non-woven bag inside to wrap the box, so as to avoid scratching the surface of the suitcase during the express delivery, and the non-woven bag can also be used as a dust-proof storage bag when not in use. Horizon 8 one-touch series luggage is officially available in three colors: Storm Gray, Interstellar Blue and Black, and the adaptability of the three colors is still very strong, whether it is a good choice for home travel or business travel
I am a storm gray color, the overall appearance is still very **, worthy of the German Red Dot Award for the product, the box is made of German Bayer 100% PC material, compared with ABS has better ductility and toughness, which not only maintains the lightweight of the box, but also has a certain compression resistance and anti-collision ability, the size of the box is 37cm 235cm 55cm, standard 20-inch suitcase, with a volume of about 35L, can basically meet the needs of most people for short-distance travel, and 20-inch luggage does not need to be checked in when traveling on flights, and can be carried on board.
The shape of the suitcase is more square, so that more luggage can be placed and space is not wasted. As a suitcase, the universal wheel at the bottom is a key component, the universal wheel shell of Horizon No. 8 has a signature bright yellow contrasting logo design, and the interior is designed with steel double bearings, with strong load-bearing capacity, the reason why I changed this suitcase is because the wheels of the previous box are not smooth enough and there is wear and tear, or I am afraid that the Spring Festival will break halfway, it will be very embarrassing, the smoothness of the universal wheel is very good, and it can easily cope with complex and bad road conditions, and the wear resistance is also good, don't look at the picture is very dirty, clean it at the end of the trip, and it is the same as new。
There is also a key indicator of the trunk is the workmanship quality of the tie rod, first of all, the position of the back tie rod storage groove has been reinforced, so that long-term use can also ensure that the tie rod and the storage groove keep a very low spaciousness, and there will be no large shaking;Secondly, the tie rod is made of aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy, with solid workmanship and durability far beyond similar products
There is a self-adhesive nameplate under the back handle, WeChat scan code to register the product serial number, leave your own *** If the suitcase is lost in subsequent use, others can contact you by scanning the code, which is equivalent to a personal information card, and the starting point of the design is still very good
The luggage combination lock is located on the top handle, using the global TSA password lock design, which not only ensures the anti-theft function of traveling, but also facilitates the security check and unpacking inspection, and is very friendly to business people who often travel, the top area in addition to the password lock has two buttons and an interface, the left button controls the zipper opening and closing, and the right button controls the front door, in addition to a USB-A charging interface, the trunk is connected to the mobile power supply, and then you can directly use the interface to charge mobile phones and other devices。
The internal functional partition is first of all the Horizon 8 This luggage box has the iconic front door design, which can be opened and closed by pressing the top button, which is very crisp and does not have the slightest jam, and is better to use than the first generation of push-pull buttons, with a default opening and closing angle of 30 degrees, and you can open the zippers on both sides if you need a larger opening and closing angle.
The functional partition of the front compartment can be divided into 4 areas, the first is the computer compartment, which has a thick pearl cotton lining inside, fixed by Velcro elastic bands, and can be placed into a 15-inch laptop computer at most, so that you need to use the computer to process work documents when you go out, and you can directly open the front door to take out the computer, avoiding opening the entire suitcase in public and ensuring the privacy of personal belongingsIn addition, there are two small pockets, which can be used to put small objects such as mobile power chargers, especially for those who often travel by flight, and it is very troublesome to open and take out digital products every time they pass through the security checkFinally, there is a large warehouse, which can put some flat documents and other things that need to be checked frequently, so that you can also put less things in your backpack when you go out, travel easily, and play more fun
There is also the charging interface design mentioned above, you can directly put the mobile power supply inside the trunk, and then when waiting for the car in the waiting hall or other roads, you don't need to hold the mobile power supply, and the mobile phone is connected to the data cable and directly put the suitcase on the charge, which is a very convenient design.
The main warehouse space is the conventional configuration, the left side is closed and isolated**, because of the design of the front warehouse, so the volume will be relatively small, but it is enough to put some summer clothes, winter clothes can be matched with vacuum storage bags to save space, and there are two zipper storage bags in the closed warehouse, a mesh bag and a closed pocket, which can be put some flat small things.
The right side can be configured according to your own situation, there is a Y-shaped corset, you can place large clothes, the corset is designed with a buckle, you can adjust the elastic size according to the actual situation, the internal space of the entire trunk is 35L, basically enough for short-distance travel, and the 20-inch box is still very suitable.
In addition to traveling, there is another reason why I decided to choose this suitcase is to use it as an equipment box for outdoor shooting, first of all, the front door is designed, and some small things can be opened and stored directly when shooting, such as lens covers, white balance cards, etc., to avoid the problem that things are easy to lose everywhere, and there is a combination lock, which ensures security to a certain extent;The second is that the volume is also enough for individual combat, the actual measurement of this 20-inch box can be loaded into a 55cm octagonal softbox, other shooting equipment and tripods, LED fill lights, top flash, external power supply, reflectors and other accessories can be put in, before the backpack put the camera, other equipment can not be loaded into the backpack to find a larger handbag to carry, it is still very inconvenient, now put these things in the suitcase and pull it away, you can also reduce the burden on the backpack, and the universal wheel of the Horizon 8 box is particularly smooth, or very labor-saving
Finally, the trolley of the suitcase has a better usage, the weather has been bad recently, I didn't go out to take pictures, just a simple demonstration at home, my own DIY reflector bracket before, through the bicycle clip can be fixed at the top of the trolley, horizon No. 8 The trolley of this suitcase has four levels of height adjustment, for backlit shooting to make up for the upper half of the body face light is enough, so that when the weather is good, you can use it without turning on the fill light, the strength of the aluminum-magnesium alloy trolley is also enough, as long as it is not particularly windy, it is okay, it is still very recommended for photographers who often fight alone, if you have more equipment, you can also customize the pearl cotton liner according to the size of the main warehouse, so that you can put the combination of camera + multi-lens directly.
The above is the experience sharing of the Horizon No. 8 one-touch suitcase, and the biggest design highlight is the design of the front door, which is convenient to take items, and can also reduce the burden on the backpack, making travel more elegant and calm, easy to travel, and more enjoyable to playSecondly, the design of the suitcase is very good-looking, and the material and details of the box are solid to ensure the reliability of long-term use.
