LOL, sorry I can’t help but laugh when I clicked the links. I always seem to underestimate how big it actually is…no pun intended!

How about this one?
Tactical

Yes,so many bags I found that would have been otherwise fitting and about the proper shape were just exactly 32cm long and I think if thats their outside length,it may be too short.

With this one you have at least compartments for extra batteries etc..

I´m hoping it fits inside this. Extra pockets for batteries etc..
Sling Back Pack

I have a pair of super thick winter boot socks and I think the GT will fit nicely. It will provide enough protection to avoid little dings and scratches to the lens without being too bulky.

Just brainstorming…

I don’t think adsums pack is padded, but I like the concept. WJs idea isn’t really a carry case, but put both ideas together, now I really like that! Maybe a piece of closed cell foam cut to fit the bottom to protect the lens (or will the lens be up?).

Or for the hardware store look, a piece of PVC pipe with closed cell foam inside. One end capped and glued the other with a screw on end. No doubt something could be rigged for a sling. It would be bombproof. It would also turn a 3# light into a 6# light. So maybe not so practical unless one is going into a combat zone and has transport (or is car camping).

Something like this?

adsum, please let us know if you think it will work when you get it. Looks nice.

thanks,

Does anyone have the dimensions for the GT? I’m after the diameter of the bezel and length, please!

I want to see if a “trumpet gig case” might work.

Condition 1 801 Medium Hard Case

I’m going to try the

134mm head OD
85mm fin OD at button
56mm battery tube
62mm battery cap OD
~315mm total length with long battery tube (ruler only goes to 305mm, guessing on the last 10)

I’m planning on making slots at the end for extra cells

Dimensions to the best of my knowledge are roughly….
320mm in length (12.6 inches)
134mm in diameter at the head (5.3 inches)

With those dimensions I have been looking at padded camera lens cases. I am after a well padded case, but not sure I want the bulk of a hard case. With a light of this caliber and cost, plus the batteries, I am not going to be overly cheap about protecting it in storage.

~$40 and near perfect fit

~$35 and a little on the big side.

Also a plus for me is the loop on the top/back of these. I can hang it in the back of my cabinet where all my flashlight/electronics stuff goes. Easy to grab when desired, but near impossible to accidentally knock over/out of the cabinet.

I am not sure if the GT will fit but Harbor Freight offers these protective cases in three sizes.

Large Case

Harbor Freight has 25% discount coupon running until 12/10/2017

I haven’t the opportunity to put my hands on these yet, but being familiar with Harbor Freight I can’t expect to be exactly like the “Pelican Case”
These cases at the price point with coupon , appear to be a deal.

Another good option would be this case, i like how u have dividers so that u can make it a tight fir for the GT and any other accessory’s, and maybe on top where the tools go i can put my Cells ??? they do offer a smaller size but from the pics i cant tell if it has the dividers

https://www.harborfreight.com/18-in-x-6-in-x-13-in-Silver-Aluminum-Case-...

I bought the one from harbor freight it has a spare inch and half lengthwise on both sides and an inch in height. So it should fit snugly, it’s made very well considering the price.

Where are the updates?

Who bought one?

What did you buy?

How is the quality?

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!

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?
