Kyle,

If you purport to be a professional photographer, you should use the 
travel cases that Hollywood uses when traveling with fragile
units.  Also have you seen the cases that rock bands use?  Remember they 
are tax deductible, if you are a pro.

If you have seen the simian baggage handlers at work, you should realize 
that an aluminium tool box or a golf club case will not do.
You need a real road case.

Jerry
