What do you guys keep your extra capsules stored in?  I need to find something to keep them in, and the clear plastic cases I have for my 451 caps are too small...

the original AKG cardboard boxes which are lined with foam, in a cool dry closet, nothing fancy but its free and it works

What, you just pitch the caps into a small tackle box??  I meant storage, not how to carry them around.  I've got that covered already   

I thought about the Schoeps caps containers but I think they're too narrow for the CK63 caps or the A60 reducing adapters...maybe old plastic film canisters??

Looking for suggestions...

Bean's setup is sweet.  There's pics somewhere on here that I'll try to find.

they stay in the tackle box in my bag.





with the foam they do not move at all.  and I got enough room to put the ck62's whenever I get them

I guess I'm not clear on why you would want to keep them in different containers for storage and for carrying them around.   Film canisters is a way to keep your capsules safe, but a tackle box can hold your bodies and all different caps you may have for the bodies.  Maybe it just doesn't work for you.

edit: I use a very similar setup that Gordon uses and it works for me.

[TNJazz]

Ah, OK.  Had to see it for myself as visualizing wasn't cutting it for me.  This does look like a pretty good solution.

Capsule containers aren't necessary, but safer due to foam degradation possibilities.  That's why I wasn't really thinking about keeping them "exposed" in some sort of case...

i have my bodies in a padded quilt pouch intended to carry glass devices(cough). i have caps inside the stock windscreens zipped up into a pouch in my bag. crude but works well. i just stuffed the caps inside the windscreens and they provide excellent padding.

I don't have 480's, but I keep my MG's in a Pelican 1060 as well.  It's the best protection around.

Me too.  Very convenient and light weight.

I keep mine in a box similar to the fishing tackle boxes already in this thread.  Got mine from Container Store for like $6.  I have a Pelican 1060 but it is so damn bulky.
