Gear cases

If your in Perth and after a custom case made for your gear I can highly recommend the blokes at Image alloy Cases {in Welshpool}. I've plugged them before but had two more cases made recently, great professional service . Along with the custom cases and cut foam they sell Pelican cases and the cheaper Pelican lookalikes. My only regret is not getting the handle and wheels on the others .

Thanks for that Beren,
Handy to keep as a reference!
If I may....Roughly how much did the mount case cost? ( with handle and wheels)
Cheers
Bartman

Gday Bart not the cheapest option out there, but a minimum for a case and foam around 300+, the foam cutting for my mount was intricate so that added to the cost , total was 690.

For interest of those in Melbourne.
A company I have used and can recommend is Aerolyte World Transit.
They make quality instrument cases, sell pelican, cut foam and all as above. They often have quite a few cases for sale which have been made for someone and not picked up. I have picked up a couple which suited the job I had for next to nothing compared to getting one custom made. Well worth a look.

Beren that's a top looking job! Very professional, I like it!

Doug, I've used a company called Aerolyte Cases who were originally in Heidelberg West prior to moving to Thomastown. They were exceptional in making some custom cases and laser cut foam inserts for me about 3 years ago.

Regards,
Stephen

To supplement the cases I found this mobile tool cart at Bunnings today for all the accessories needed trooping out, forever forgetting something or can't find that allen key etc stacked away somewhere
