Wow; it's hard to believe. That just looks like a huge pain to deal with.For all their faults, it sure seems like using clip-together reels and shipping films in 2x 3- or 4- reel cannisters would work much better. Easier on the shippers, easier on the projectionists, a little more work for the exchange... --jhawk

Ok i've just had my first two of these.One was 6 reels the other 7. The whole velcro strap business was a bit confusing at first. In terms of carrying it: I usually always use a trolly provided by the university to carry films around. I carried the 7 reel box a little while and I found it easiest to just forget about the handles and carry it like a box. For some reason I find the area with the shipping label to be a pain. In terms of after removing the label. Turning it around and re-inserting it.

that i have seen. They are not easy to carry. The film that came in was 7 reels, hopfully they will be a bit easier to carry with fewer reels in. The easy carry green cases or a battered old cardbord box are easier than this thing. The only one good thing in its favour though is the you can adjust the strap so you could get 9 or 10 reels in just for added pain.
