FS5: There's a new FS5 in the house - what's a good, small but robust case for it?

I just took delivery on a Sony PXW-FS5, and I'm liking it a lot. It's just what I need to get the little jobs done (and with some external gear, I can even approach some big jobs). For now, I just want to be able to carry it from place to place in a relatively secure case or Pelican-type box. I'd appreciate any experience-based suggestions!

Tanks!
 
Thanks. I'll take a look...I was hoping for something a little lighter - like an SKB box - could that be what the 'air' stands for? Or, is that just short for 'airline...?'

The AIR is both for "airline" and to signify that it is lightweight. The 1535 is same size but lighter version of 1510 model, the industry standard for carry-on case. You really can't get anything better than that.
 
If you fly regularly have a look at ThinkTank's rollers. They weigh less than Pelicans, which can be be important when flying internationally, & don't look like camera cases.

My FS7 mostly travels in a ThinkTank International, but if I know I'll be on a commuter-sized aircraft I stuff it into their Advantage roller.
