Hi all,

Does anyone with an EQ6-R (or similar sized) mount head have a recommendation for a good carrying/storage case? I just bought this as my first mount and want to protect it as best I can.

I’ve seen some recommendations for the Pelican 1600/1650 cases, but before I spend $400 on that I wanted to see what others are using.

Thanks,  
Richard

Morning,

After I purchased mine, i had the same hunt and ended up using something similar to this:

On mine, the bottom container works well and I had some high density foam to cut and use as padding to help keep it from moving around in the case.

Thanks, that looks like it might work well for me.
