Carrying case for Oly 5050

[TedJ]

One of those foam things you put around a beer can to keep the beer cold and your hand warm. They're great for a lens cover, particularly if you put your rig in the rinse bucket.

I got mine from Thomas Distributing. My first one's were free when I bought the extra MAHA charger. The last few sets of 2200NiMH batteries I've bought have come in the cases.

Okie....I'll get you a picture in the next day or so.

Thank you for all the responses and great Ideas. I thought about the cooler idea and I may try that or check out the Lowepro backpacks.

Like Dee mentioned, I bought 2 sets of the 2200 NiMH AA cells from Thomas Dist.(check her link) They now provide cases for each set of 4 you buy. They will also sell them seperatly (in case you need them for prior sets that you don't have them for).

Here are pics of my collapsable cooler. It works great when taking the camera on the boats and can be used to soak the gear in fresh water.

OK, Okie......say that 3 times real fast! LOL. I took photos of the camera gear and the process of packing the Trim Trekker. The photos aren't that great, I was using the .08 WA lens and no strobe so I had slow shutter speeds, but you'll get the main idea.

This shot shows most everything that goes into the bag....

Here's a link to the rest of the album.....

Wow! Thanks, Dee! I need to figure out how to do my packing better. There is just soo much STUFF!

 

[Dee]

Don't forget all those little nooks and crannies. I get alot of stuff in there that fills in the holes!

jhelmuth and Tedj,what about your strobes? I don't see where they will go in the small cases. I take it you're not carrying the strobes in the same case? I'm trying to make a decision on which case to buy,and Dee's setup seems to be the one that can handle everything. The original "cardboard" carrying case my camera came in isn't cutting the mustard.
