I had bought a $35 one off Amazon for my mini, but once I got it the poor build quality was readily apparent. I did pull out pre-cut foam and did an immersion test in my bathtub--leaked like a seive. I've not personally tested the Harbor Freight ones, but I have quite a few whitewater rafting buddies and several of them have tested the HF cases and found them all leaking.I don't see myself to likely be dunking my case in water, but your assertion is noted. I may try an immersion test as I like these cases for the price and plan to use them for a variety of needs.
For the record, they state they are IP65 Rated Watertight so I would be pretty surprised if they leaked.

The key essentials not leaking are: quality gasket, quality hinges, quality hasps, and an even--unwarped lid. If anyone of those factors isn't 100%, you get leaks... There's a reason the GPC and Nanuk cases cost 3-5 times more, it's not just brand loyalty. I've used Pelican cases for 30+ years and have traveled around the world with them--dive gear, camera gear, etc. Never ever had one fail.I don't see myself to likely be dunking my case in water, but your assertion is noted.

Cool, keep us posted!Ok I removed all the foam inside and sank a 2800 in my kitchen sink just now and will check it tomorrow morning. It was **** hard to sink, very buoyant ! It will easily float with all equipment inside, assuming it remains watertight of course. View attachment 104155
Can’t find it but I thought there was a thread already. Looking for a better carrying case for my drone. Would like to carry all the batteries and an iPad mini as well if possible.
Thanks
I bought a Nanak 915 for my Mavic Air 2 combo from B & H Photo.
It carries everything.
