My solution was a home-made custom-fitted sleeve of padded cloth
with a
cut-out for the shoulder stock; a fastex buckle at the open end of
the
cut-out holds the sleeve on the lens. Any time I need the lens I
unclip
the buckle, let the sleeve drop off, and it's ready to go! A camera
can
stay on the lens when it's sleeved: the camera also has a padded
cover,
this one secured with a couple strips of Velcro. A tug on the
bottom flap
and the camera's cover is off. It keeps the camera and lens
protected
from mist, light rain, moderate dust, and the bumps and scrapes
normally
encountered when hiking, bushwhacking and rock clambering, keeping it
accessible within a second or two.
Hi Doug!
Any chance, Doug, that you'd be able to post a photo of this rig?
Best regards,
David.
OK, it's taken me a while but I've got a couple pictures of my
Travelling
Telyt setup:

I made the case out of canvas and a thin layer of plastic foam padding,
hand-stitched, while I was in Alaska in 1980 or so.
