Protective pouch for underwater housing

Hello. I'm looking for something like a packing cube or pouch for my Fantasea FRX100 VA housing. This would go in my regular backpack and would contain the housing, the vacuum pump, the o-ring grease and any other things that I might need. Its purpose would be to protect the housing and keep things organised. Does anyone use something like this and if so, what do you use? Thanks.

Re: Protective pouch for underwater housing

Hmm, actually I just tried to see if it would fit in the LowePro Off Trail 1 bag I had from back when my DSLR was a normal size, and surprisingly it does! I guess I would like a lighter pouch than this. But if all else fails this is may be a good enough solution.

Consider tupperware containers...

Hi starbase,

I transport my Nauticam housing in this padded bag (similar bags are available for domeports). Housing and ports can be transported this way in the check-in lugagge and do not need to be in the cabin lugagge (plenty of stuff, like flashes, camera, lenses, laptop etc... remain): https://www.nauticam.com/collections/mirrorless-housing-accessories/products/padded-travel-bag-for-mil-housings-w-handles

Using Google I found these, maybe a good solution for Fantasea housings (But I am not shure this is intended for check-in lugagge)? :

I use a soft sided ice chest to keep my housing safe both around the house and on a boat.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.

Most of us use a roller bag designed for camera gear. Many styles, with adjustable velco pads to customize interior. You can also pack tee shirts, socks, etc around the gear.
