How do you all store your mic when taking it out into the field? I've been looking around but don't need to re-invent the wheel if you've got something working well.
THanks.

I never found anything I liked better than the case it comes in.

The case it comes in is fine if you have a camel to tote it. I carry my LSD2 in a large plastic pencil case I got at Staples, it is 13"x5"x2 1/2". I have it lined with strips of foam. Works for me.

Thanks Jeff. I didn't find anything at staples, I'll have to look again. I also found a "saltine tuperware" to keep crackers fresh--that might work. The lid seems a little janky though.
I carry mine in a tight space in the top of my Rakgear bag, but I keep it in the windscreen and furry rat/rycote-type windscreen as well for extra protection.
i put the windscreen on it and and xlr cap over the end and cram it in my gear bag any way it will fit.
freakin' donkey mic.

I have a lady at work sewing me a custon foam lined bag. like the bags you can store good glass in to keep them from breaking. I have a zipper put down the side for easy access. When she finishes it I will post some pics.
^^^Nice^^^. I like that idea. I was just concerned about flying with it and didn't want to cart the flight case. So I built a PVC tube with caps. The 3" thin pvc keeps it perfectlly snug with the wind screen on. I just stuffed a little foam in the tube so the body didn't cling around. Worked well. I'll try and post some photos later.
peace

Hey Emery,
I got a different LSD2. I lost out on both of those auctions. *shrugs* Let me know about the C4's you still want to tape the show coming up on the 11th? let me know.
Not an owner, but salivating heavily! I worked at a plumbing supply for several years, and what came to mind for storage, is foam pipe insulation. It comes in a variety of of diameters X 6' lengths, and is split down the center. It would make a good liner for a bag, or pipe.
Just my .02

I just wanted to bump this old thread to see if anyone had any new ideas about LSD2 bags/cases. I'm gonna start at Staples and the hardware store and see what I can come up with..
Corbin,
The pvc pipe solution was really the best I found. It works perfectly. The only problem is that it's a little shady flying with it. I always have it out and open for securtiy--If you look into this route, you've got to go with the thinner diameter PVC. I've since sold the mic so I can't post any photos.
GOod luck.
Buy a large handle of Crown Royal. Drink the Crown & use the bag for the LSD2. >:D
wow..
you can pretty much lock this thread now.
