It's also why my wife refuses to buy me any presents, as she knows that it will be the wrong one for some tiny piece of detail she wasn't even aware of.

How I understand you!

I know this is an old thread, but it's still number one on google search with the words "hard case NEQ6"

I bought the Duratool case Helen and James suggested from CPC Farnell for £31 and it's identical to the one offered by Stayfocused judging by the photos on their website and the size 50 x 35 x 20cm.

As the attached photo shows it's not quite big enough. The mount is very firmly wedged in and that's before I add any foam. So this one will carry the counterweights and all the other mount bits n pieces.

I'm thinking I'll have to bite the bullet and get a Peli 1600. It's 55 x 43 x 20cm and a whopping £178. That's still a bit cheaper than the equivalent B&W or Storm case though.

Is 50 x 35 x 20 the interior dimensions of this case?

I was reading this thread with interest but I have the Altair Astro Geoptik universal saddle plate on mine and looking at these pics with the standard vixen saddle on there I'm never going to get mine in any of these cases.

Ahwell.

I have the same saddle, what was your solution?

This is very well done. the block supported in the back.

By chance don't you have a drawing with dimensions you want to share?

I think it might have been copper grease, but will confirm later.

I'm for the last 2 days reading about mods to improve my altitude adjustment.

Since the first read I'm asking myself why the hell nobody speaks about this grease? I use it for years an I never had a seized bolt, living in the seaside! Everybody speaks about the lithium grease; is it so better than the copper one?

TLDR

We are already in the third GPS Epoch, so this already happened once but there was almost no civil GPS devices.

The European GPS system doesn't suffer from this limitation; or at least the epoch is much bigger. They foreseen this when designed it.
