I want to make a case or a wrap for a Metz 45 CT-4 flashgun and am looking for

ideas on how to make something that will prevent the movable head from getting

snapped off. It's kind of an odd shape, if I just make a bag it seems to leave

the head free to move around.

 

Anyone have a good flashgun case that you could take a quick picture of for me?

I've tried to find a picture online but no luck.

 

I have neoprene and lots of velcro that I'd like to use but I also have yoga

mats, closed cell foam, denim. Sometimes it comes in handy to be a fabric hoarder.

 

Anyone have any bright ideas? I'm fresh out.

You may be worrying unnecessarily. I used a naked Metz 45 for years, just stuffing it in a

camera bag with all the other gear when not needed, and it never came to harm. Built like a

tank is the expression that comes to mind - although maybe the build has been down-

specced a bit since a decade or more ago.

Yes, I realize that I'm being obsessive and it'll probably be fine without one. But I'm trying to figure out the best way to make camera and lens bags and the Metz is such an odd shape that it's a challenge. I was thinking of trying something like the neoprene wrap-around Zing camera cases.
