Hi all, I'm just wondering if i need to be carefull when i'm storing my pocket wizard plus II's in my gear bag.

Should i try and be careful with the antenna's and not store them if they're pushed/bent up against the side of the bag? Or anything like that?

Or does it not matter?

I always store electronic equipment carefully. I have 3 PW's, and I keep them in a small hard case, which i put in my lightning stand bag. Cheap insurance if you ask me.

I've four stuffed into the top netting of a camera bag, along with a few cables and those little flash feet. They are professional tools, I don't have the luxury of providing them with individual padded cells ~~ :) I put my lenses in those ~~~ :)

you can bend the antennas, you don't have to baby them. No big deal. They are nothing more than a copper coil. If it's slightly bent it'll still work just fine. If it's permanently bent you can try to bend it back.

I jsut drop them in my camera bag... sometimes they get a little bent but after about a year of use still no issues.

I just throw them in my bag and dont worry about them. I have had zero problems with them.

No special consideration here. Just toss them in the bag with the rest of the stuff. Haven't had any problems in over a year.
