GC3 / BLP - Found the Perfect Carrying Case
Hi all -
After wasting entirely too much time on Amazon looking at carrying cases for everything from mobile printers to DJ mixers, I finally stumbled onto what I hoped was the perfect carrying case for the GC3 - a telephoto camera lens case from Lowepro (Lowe Alpine). It arrived yesterday, and the fit is almost comically perfect, so I thought I'd try and save others the headache in case anyone else was struggling to find a case w/ Foresight not offering anything.
I never take the charger or alignment stick to the course, but I did manage to squeeze them in there as well (not in the photos tho).
50 bucks on Amazon, but at least for now, they have some # of them as "Used - Very Good" for 35. I got one of those, and it's in brand new condition.
Also has five stars w/ almost 900 ratings, presumably mostly from professional photographers whose lenses are a lot more fragile than the GC3 and who travel a lot further than the local golf course.
One small bonus is that now I can throw away the giant box, which I was keeping in case I needed to send the unit back for service. The Lowepro padding is beyond legit - I might feel even better shipping the unit in this case than the original packaging.
