Carrying a speedlight

[aberal]

This may be a daft question - but I bought my Nikon SB-400 on ebay a while back which came boxed and in good nick, but it didn't come with a bag/cover/sleeve for it. Should it have? I ask because given that it doesn't have a cover, do I do damage to the exposed contact pins when I just bung it into my bag?

Finally, assuming that I should really have a cover, does anyone have a spare Nikon SB-400 one lying around they'd be happy to part with? I know that's a long shot...

The SB400 does indeed come with a soft pouch/case but I can say that I havent used the case on my SB600 since i bought it as it usually gets stored in the angled position so as to save space and it is still working perfectly.

Me too!

I would think that an SB400 would fit in a case designed for a compact camera, or failing that, one of those lowepro lens cases? (with space inside it for spare batteries etc)

Use an old sock.

Use an old sock.

Instead of the Sb-400? :shrug:

The item you need is the SS-400

Sock it to me baby......:razz:

I'd actually forgotten my SB600 had come with a bag until I saw this thread - shows just how often I use it.

A spare lens pouch works well, my SB-600 lives in one

Lol, a sock would certainly save some money! =)

I just chuck mine in my camera bag - I take it that is a bad thing?

ive always put mine in my bag, to be honest whats the difference with putting it into a bag or a pouch, if you have a bag with separators the flash wont roll around anyway.
