Here are the pictures as promised. Let me say a few things before we get to the pics though. My main objectives of a case for my mics are protection first and size/weight second. I tape out in the open so no stealth anymore. My indoor to ourdoor ratio is about 50-50 by the end of the year. Outside I worry about dust and spilled beers more than anything and indoors its mostly spilled drinks. I love Pelican cases and have been using them for almost 10 years now on taping equipment as well as other applications around the house. Great products and perform as advertised. In the interest of size, weight and protection I think that 95% of the time I tape it would be overkill.
I use a plastic divider box from a store here in Dallas (
http://www.containerstore.com/) called the Container Store for my mics and caps. They have stores in a handful of states. The case itself was $5 and I had some leftover foam from something that was shipped to me to line the bottom. The dividers that seperate the caps are adjustable for size. The Pelican case in the pictures is the 1050 (not the 1060). The 1050 is one inch smaller length wise and witdh wise but has the same depth as the 1060. So for comparison sake imagine that my 1050 is an inch longer and wider.
The box has three plastic closure hinges that stay locked pretty tight. The caps stand vertical whereas in the Pelican they are horizontal. On the ends of my mic box I keep thread adapters and a coin to adjust my shockmounts. One day they'll hold some ck62's or swivels. The box cannot repel water down to 50 feet and doesn't have a purge valve but then again I have NEVER EVER had the use for either. What it has done is have many drinks and beers and mud hit it and it completely keeps that crap off the inside. Also this box fits in the inside pocket on the top flap on my Lowepro Nova 5. I don't have to keep it external of my taping bag. Nor do I have to make lots of room in my bag for it.
Anyways on to the pictures:
