I ended up getting one of these from Amazon, and it’s worked out really well: http://a.co/hwFMF9s
It comes with extra padding you can velcro in for a smaller mixer, so I ended up taking one of those and folding it over the wrong direction under the GT tail to hold the tube a little more securely.
Have a nice aluminium hard case that I’m going to fill with foam and fit the GT.
Here it is inside the case with the foam cut, also added the BLF Q8 so I would have a thrower and a flooder together.
The plan is to add at least 2 battery boxes that hold 2 18650’s above or under the GT and 2 to the side of the Q8.
Also have a shoulder strap I would like to have it together with the GT.
That’s really nice thijsco19! :+1:
Woaw! What a case! A tad on the large size isn’t it?
Not sure i should applaud or advise to get help! - lol 
With a couple BLF A6 and a charger, you’d have the ultimate portable BLF shrine. Well done!
I also plan on getting a similar hard case, but smaller. I’ve never tried cutting/carving foam… How does it go?
One for the ladies?
I was thinking exactly that (the 3 lights)… and now I’m thinking how “next level” can we make this?
Possible kit contents:
i) Lights
- GT
- Q8
- A6
- 348 (possibly more than one)
ii) Charger(s)
iii) Space for separate/extra batteries (in waterproof boxes? (in the waterproof case!))
iv) GT lens cap
v) GT strap/handle
vi) Replacement parts (which, though?)
For the charger I’m considering one of these:
a) 1 x Nitecore i8 (8 slots @ 0.5A)
- if you are going for looks and not charging speed (especially if you are rationalizing buying all of this by it being a gift for someone who isn’t going to fiddle with buttons on the charger)
b) 1 x GyrFalcon All-88 (8 slots @ 1A)
c) 1/2/3 x Miboxer C4-12 (4 slots @ 3A) if you have money to burn
Are there any other chargers to consider here?
I’m leaning towards the Nitecore i8 since the package will be a gift to someone who won’t mess with any buttons. (In line with that, I’ve set the GT to “Mode-set” 1 (100%, 2A). Is there any data on how much an XHP35’s life is shortened by overdriving it at 2.5A instead of overdriving it at 2A?)
To fit all of this, could we find someone to design a “configurable” foam cutout (where you only remove enough cut pieces of foam to fit the lights+accessories you want)? Two points against this: it implies a single case size which will be too big for some contents + won’t look as nice if it’s half empty.
Have bought two of the cases. OP #1 is too small for the GT, can not even zip it closed with the GT inside. OP #2 is very cheaply made and will probably fit two GT’s inside, too large, only very thin padding on one side.
Here’s how well the GT fits in the case I linked earlier. The dimensions are pretty perfect, and the case is super padded.
Looks good - I like the padding.
About the Op/Tech USA hood hat in the picture, what “style” (size) is it, and do you think it’s the perfect size from Op/Tech USA’s selection?
Another very good one from srwaite HERE
My wife bought a camera bag from lowepro years ago, the quality of their bags is fantastic!
High quality, very well padded.

Maybe i will buy this one as well, when i’m accustomed to the price :sunglasses:
Just perfect size, added my charger (the star vp4) and a shoulder strap.
Still need to put some batteries in there.
I used 3 layers of ‘pick and pluck foam’.
This is what I bought. Scaled to size
Plenty of room for all the necessities
Product description
Size:Large
ACPROLC18 Ape Case Professional Large Lens Case is a strong and versatile way to store and carry your precious DSLR Lens and is made with the high quality materials and craftsmanship you have come to expect from Ape Case. This Pro Lens Case is designed to hold most modern 300-2.8 lenses. (please check interior case dimensions closely against your lens' measurements) The ACPROLC18 is fully padded and features an extra, removable interior base pad for even more protection on the case bottom where you need it the most. This Pro Lens Case can be carried with the supplied shoulder strap, or by hand with top loop handle. There is also a uniquely designed belt/loop attachment system that has a standard-type sewn-in 3.5-Inch loop for belt attachment, plus a stiff hinged openable and closeable Velcro clasp-type "attatcher" that can be used on a belt or used to attach to another case that has a loop (like our ACPRO1800, ACPRO1900, ACPRO2000 or ACPRO4000). The top opening is generously sized for easy lens retrieval. The dual zippers are joined together with a zipper pull that allows you to zip or unzip both zippers simultaneously gaining quick lid opening access. The lid is also secured with an adjustable quick release clasp. All together, the lid system allows for secure closure, yet quick and easy access. There is a slim pocket on the front of the case under the lid to hold memory cards. The case also features Ape Case's signature "black on the outside yellow on the inside" color scheme. The Hi-Vis Yellow interior makes seeing what is in your case a breeze.

The GT fits nicely with room to spare 
I’m using the XL, fits very well like it was custom made for the GT.
The one pictured looks maybe a bit bigger maybe XXL? If that’s the case, looks like either one would be fine.
Where did you get the foam? need some new for my peli case.
This one is the XXL. It’s maybe a little looser than I’d prefer, but I do like that I can get it on and off with one hand, and it’s not going to slip off that easily on its own. I hear people saying that the XL fits perfectly, but it looked a little tight to me in pictures.
You’ve got PM ;).
I like it! :+1:
Maybe add a piece of fiber board, nylon/lexan plastic to the bottom to protect the head and glass lens.
Looking at getting a UCLp lens for both of mine, but haven’t heard back from Chris yet
The bottom is double padded. Easily 1" thick. Add the OP/Tech hoodie on the light and you're good to go!
Glad your confident in your set-up, I’ll add a 1/8’’ piece of fiber board/Lexan because I’m not!
