Where to put all my accessories	Can't Post

I am looking for idea's on what kind of box or bin to get to store all of my
video camera accessories, cords...etc. I have been looking at the Pelican cases,
but am not sure if there is a better way to carry all the stuff that goes with the
camera.

I have the wheeled Pelican 1650. A dozen trips to Europe, one trip to Japan, and a thousand local Boston / New York trips; ya can't beat it!

Now I need the perfect tripod bag... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Lee,
I actually don't know where the 24" number comes from. The case I have that looks identical to the one on Outpost is 22"x15"x19". One fact of life with our business is that while the cameras, tapes, mics and associated gear will get smaller and smaller the tripods will still be heavy, cumbersome and awkward in comparison. I'm still looking for an over-the-shoulder zippered bag with a nice, fat padded strap for my tripods. I can see exactly what it should look like, but I can't find it. I've looked at golf bags, hockey stick bags...everything. If anyone has an idea let me know. I carry three tripods and a monopod, so it has to be big and stitched with steel...

Joel,
I like Bogan tripods so I've bought bags to go with them. The bag below sells for $40 at B&H. The bag, itself, is padded to protect the pod but the shoulder strap is just a regular old strap. It works fine for me since I'm not hauling them a long way. They come in a couple of sizes; here is the last one I bought.
