How do you guys cut the padding to suit? Just a sharp knife or a speciality tool needed?

I used a steel ruler and a stanley knife on the polyethylene foam.

My iOptron mount had an optional hard case that I bought with it.
Its pretty much a plastic "Pelican" style case and works well.
The foam in these is partially pre-cut into cubes so you just
pluck out the bits you don't want.

My tripod lives in a heavy waterproof canvas bag with a shoulder
strap of seat belt type webbing.

Bought the bag at a caravan show, made by a company down
Reynella way, cheap and well made.
