Several years ago, when I purchased the VX-2000, I found a case that still serves the function of carrying the camcorder, power supply, LANC control, etc.
After recently acquiring the FX1, I went back to find another case for it. The case was purchased from Home Depot. It’s described as a HUSKY 191-041 Attaché Case (approx. 18” x 12” x 6’) for $19.97. I removed the internal section dividers and flip out vinyl folder. Then lined the case with part of a Mattress Foam cover (Wal-Mart $7.87).
Cutting two separate oversized pieces for top and bottom of the case, you stuff the foam into both sections, trimming the corners after you have assured a good snug fit. I used strips of double-backed tape (6”-8” or so) to adhere the foam to all four sides. I bought a “travel kit” zippered bag (Wal-Mart $9.97) to store the batteries, power supply and any accessories. There is ample room in the case for this after you have positioned the camcorder. When you close the top, it’s a very snug fit. The cam is securely in place and will not slide.
