I have a Flipside 300 that works pretty well, but I picked up a second body with battery grip, more lens, flashes, meters, etc. and quickly ran out of room. So, I am looking for a “storage” bag for lack of a better term. My thought, but not totally sure, is to find a bag that would hold a gripped body, three or four smaller lens, a flash, and extras like batteries, charges, etc. A second Flipside 300 could work, but I think I would rather have a more traditional “flat bottom” bag. As far as interior features, I like the wraps for the lens to fit into and a space for the extra body would be nice as well. I would like to keep the price under $250 if possible, but at the same time don’t want to get something poorly made that would put the equipment at risk. Mainly it would be used to store and take along (in the trunk of the car) the remaining backup items that would not be in the Flipside.

So, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jerry

Pelican 1514 or 1560. Check them at Pelican or B&H sites. These two are wheelie carryons. You can just go up in the model numbers to find bigger cases. They are literally bullet and waterproof.

Look into a rolling hardshell case like the pelican series. With all of your current gear, it will definitely be a long-term solution and professional appearing as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked out the reviews of the Pelican and also the Tamrac, both here and on the sales sites. I am leaning toward the Pelican.

Thanks again,

Jerry
