HEQ 5 Storage Bag / Case

[jon-owen]

Ladies and Gents,

I'm after some advice / opinions. After regularly lugging my Skywatcher HEQ5 and 200PDS between Yorkshire and Cornwall, I'm in need of a carry case to make sure I don't leave any of the bits in the wrong location!

I've had a look at the various options that present:

Geoptik Bag - https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p170_Geoptik-Quilt-Bag-for-mounts-like-EQ5---GM8---GP.html

Maplin Flight Case - http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/large-high-impact-case-with-pre-cut-foam-interior-n14gr

Custom Flight Case - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Flight-Case-Large-Universal-DJ-Equipment-Camera-570x380x190mm-/231118527156?pt=UK_Vinyl_CD_DJ_Bags_Cases&hash=item35cfbcdab4

I've seen a few people rave about the Geoptik bag but haven't been able to find any pictures of the internal layout of the bag to see what it can hold - does anyone have the bag?

What do owners of the HEQ5 use to lug their kit around?

Thanks,

Jon

I've got a an AZEQ6, i'm am lugging it around less and less these days as my back is the limiting factor; it's set up permanently in the garden

I carry the tripod legs in an ex army version of one of these off ebay (i got for about £8):

And i carry the miunt head and weights and spreader plate around in a second hand one of these i got from a charity shop for £2 and wrap the mount head up inside it in a massive old duvet:

The geoptik bag held my old NEQ6 with room for hand controller, tripod stabilizers, tripod spreader and all the wires. Inside it's just an empty void.

It will hold the HEQ5 without issue

I carry my NEQ6 around in a peli case 1600 that I got off eBay.
