The slightly smaller version is in stock now:

I have several of their products and they are outstanding, but production runs are limited.

thanks again all!  I grabbed the Amazon shoulder bag for now, but it's so cheap that if it doesn't work out I'll revisit.  Hope others get great ideas from this thread.  That tiny stand looks awesome!

This may be just the ticket! Big thanks Voltronic.  Size of the larger one: 6"W x 6"D 26"L = probably perfect.  The smaller one appears to be closer to the size I imagined for this, but may be a couple inches short in reality.  The stand itself measures almost exactly 20" long when fully collapsed, which is exactly the length of the smaller bag.  The mic-bar attachments I use add a few inches to that so the shorter bag would seem a non-starter, but in reality it may bulge out at the ends by a few inches.

It's worth noting that in the description of the XL version of the bag, they mention it was enlarged to fit Manfrotto tripods, among AR-15s and other things.

Check out their other bags / cases as well, under Nylon Gear on the nav bar.

The Midrange bag has been my work briefcase / bag for 7-8 years now.  The quality is on par with Land's End or L.L. Bean, high quality zippers and Velcro, ballistic nylon, etc.

They have lots of other really interesting products if you look through the site.  I have some of their portable tools, and they have excellent prices on real USA- made paracord which of course is equal to gaffer tape in usefulness.

Gutbucket,

This 5 pocket yoga mat bag may work for you. I have one that is perfect for my KMR82i shotgun housed in a Rycote zep and dead cat. The boom pole sits in one of the lower mesh pockets and I use a velcro strap to hook the upper part of the pole to the bag strap. My Dr70D fits in another pocket and there are lots of places to hook headphones, cables, etc.

Soooo true! I have various amounts of diff size paracord, and use it DAILY for numerous things! Same with my velcro ties and Scunci style metal-less hair ties lol

Looks like another good possibility, and inexpensive.  Thanks!

The Amazon shoulder bag is nice and fits everything!

Only thing I can't figure out is how to tighten the outside loops to hold my extension pole...

There are separate lower straps for this.  I'm away now otherwise I'd tell you exactly how.  If that doesn't work out, you can put the pole in the front and clip it in with the bag closures and then tighten them.  That's how I carry my backlight stand base.

Yeah they don't seem to "catch" they just slide.  However I'll take your advice!
