Can someone aim me in the right direction for a belt attached carry pouch for the Q8? My feeble attempts to make some sort of belt clip that screws into the tripod hole have been useless. I don’t know anything about working with stainless steel and my results prove that. I concede, I will buy something.
The two popular ones won’t thread in all the way. It also doesn’t help that the hole isn’t threaded very far, but the hole is too shallow even if threaded with a bottoming tap. I’d like to find something like a tripod screw that’s shorter or was fully threaded so I could grind it down.
Can ya grind em down a bit? Ya know, shorten em up until they’ll seat?
Edit…you know some of the eyelets on Amazon are threaded all the way and some have a flat area between the threads and the head. I ordered the black nickel ones that appear to be threaded all the way to the head.
Just look for a m4/m16 double magazine molle pouch. The Q8 fits nicely. I had several thanks to accumulation of a near-complete molle rig and on a whim tried it. Couldn’t imagine a better fit unless the sheath was made specifically for it.
edit: mine are a bit different and have velcro closures without snaps and elastic loops for shotgun shells but something like this should work.
Nice. $5.50 and $6 shipping. Might try that. Found this grenade pouch on Ebay I might give a shot first. Oh hell, I may just grab both. Thanks shirnask.
I use this camera lens case I picked up at a charity shop for the equivalent of $1.
There was enough space to put a layer of high density foam at the bottom and around the inside. You could throw it against a wall now and not damage the contents.
Tally-ho, looks like I got the same exact thing just from ebay instead. Works perfectly. Guy only had them in brown but it will work perfect for me. $7.50 with free shipping.
