Carry Bag for Gibraltar.

Hello, Does anyone know of a good carrying bag that the Gibraltar tripod would nicely fit inside? I'm thinking one of the Orion bags for their telescopes would work, but I'm not sure which one. I do not want to have to remove the head in order to fit it in the bag. Right now I wrap up the tripod in a large towel and secure with bungee cords for transporting to dark skies. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave Sewell

Dave, You might check into some of the large kite bags at http://www.intothewind.com They are very reasonably priced and quite sturdy. I used a smaller one for truss tube storage.

See this thread and link for the Tamrac 328 bag. Highly recommended.
