Pelican case with clamp

I also went with Pelican, but rather than cutting foam to line it with, I simply added a dovetail clamp to base of case. Enables me to keep EFW, OAG etc all connected and ready to go.

For the amazing padding look at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hockey-Kit-...ag=googhydr-21


People tend to overlook sports kit bags, I keep all my Gitzo tripods and Wimberley heads in them and a lot easier to carry than a heavy case with no or almost no handles
