Hi all does any 1 have any good ideas suggestions for a good close up case I did a search but the search function is not working in my browser.

I don't mind if I have to customise it myself all help is much appreciated thank you

You might want to consider either a soft sided fishing tackle bag, or a rigid one with telescoping trays. Take a look at them on Cabella's or Bass Pro site. I'm particularly partial to the soft sided bags because some of them carry as many as 5 plastic cases with adjustable partitions.

There are two close-up cases that I use. I love them both.

Thank you all

Aaron, that Harbor Freight case looks almost exactly like my poker set case that I bought a couple of years ago solely to convert into a close-up case, except mine is all silver. I will have to pick one of those up from Harbor Freight. Thanks for the links!

I carry a Doctor's Bag that's very similar to the one pictured here:

Lugging around a big clunky briefcase isn't my style. A nice doctor's bag gives you a look of class and sophistication. My 2 cents...

I found one just like this, same color and everything (kind of a light green)... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie......78568894 for $40 at a secondhand store a few years ago and it's the only one I use now. Also the old initials on the top, near the handle are "EMK", which I explain stand for emergency magic kit. LOL It takes more room to fully open up than a Dr's bag (which are really cool) but I live with it and make it work.

Years ago I used to carry a bag that I picked up in a Truck Stop for $20.00. This isn't the exact one, but it looks just like it (different color combination) http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-48-55-35......&sr=1-80

If you want something robust, the aluminium cases available for camera euqipment are useful, and usually have adjustable partitions. You can get them in a variety of shapes and sizes, including briefcases.

No problem! Are actually a Doctor? Maybe you should take Chris's advice and get a Doctor bag.. It could be a part of your character. And I do agree that they are really classy. I'm in college right now, and my Microeconomics teacher is named Dr Ayala. It would be funny if it was you.

I use this 15" canvas bag from Harbor Freight priced at $6:

Inside of it, I've placed the Kangaroo Keeper that I found at Walmart for about $9 and change.

(note, this site automatically plays a video sales pitch, so put your pc on mute)....they charge $19 on this site for a double order.

It is an awesome setup for me in that it keeps all of my close-up items immediately viewable and organized. I've additionally placed popcicle sticks in each little pocket, so that I remember what goes where when resetting.

I wish you the best in finding what works well for you.

Try the topic "Where to put it all" that string covers cases, tables, etc.

Here is a thread I started, there are more under that heading as well.
