David Ross Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Does anyone know where i can buy or have made a durable soft cast for a Quasar Science style tube. I am not looking for any type of hard case. I plan to store the soft case on my head cart on my truck . It may ride vertical or lay on a shelf. Any thoughts or links would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2019 Good question. That's one of those things where you raise a finger and say "Ah, you just want to get a..." ...then you realise there isn't anything. How on earth is it possible that this doesn't exist. Anyone?

Stuart Brereton Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 How about something like this? Document tube Not exactly a soft case, but a great deal lighter than a flight case. Otherwise, maybe something like an ice hockey stick bag would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted August 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I bought a pelican rifle case for ours. Obviously not a soft case, but works. How many are you wanting to store? I'm assuming it's the t12 size. On the same vain, here's a soft rifle case that comes in 51" lengths. Don't know if the shoulder straps would become a nuisance. Maybe the extra compartments would be handy for accessories, if applicable. https://www.amazon.com/Savior-Equipment-Warfare-Tactical-Backpack/dp/B07QLBPZ1L/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=long%2Bsoft%2Brifle%2Bcase&qid=1566224290&s=gateway&sr=8-11&th=1&psc=1 Ahh.. Realized you said "tube". I would second Stuart, but also assuming you have a 4' tube? So maybe a longer version like this:https://www.amazon.com/Adir-641-Telescoping-Document-Resistant/dp/B00AFXINTM/ref=sr_1_24?keywords=long+tube+case&qid=1566224575&s=gateway&sr=8-24 I would get OCD about it banging around in there. If you can access both ends, which it seems like you can, Maybe cut out a circular piece of foam and epoxy it to the inside for the entrance and end?

Nathan Beykovsky Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I use the center cardboard tube of a savage seamless paper roll, fits just right for my X-fade quasar tubes. Cut to size then gaff tape one end and leave one end open for ease of getting out. Usually the rubber ends on the quasar holds it sung. Depends on how you are storing it but it might work for your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Chaika Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) You could look for fishing rod tubes. You can get hard or soft. Here's a 48" example: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-4448-Fabric-Green-48-Inch/dp/B009YSFW98/ Another option for hard tubes is getting PVC pipe and end caps from your local hardware store and cut to length. Just make sure you get the right size. @Joe Tese's rifle case suggestion is also great if you're looking to get more than one light per tube. That's how I transport my boompole and accessories.

Tristan Chaika Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 A rod bag like this would work, too, if you wanted something soft that would hold multiple tubes: https://www.amazon.com/Lixada-Folding-Fishing-Potable-Storage/dp/B07HJ7YR92/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
