Yeah, this makes sense.
I'm also wondering about custom foam for the flight case that I already have. The pluck foam is a bit soft and is already showing signs of degrading due to things pressing against it, but if I pluck more out the scope and various things will be a lot more loose in the case and subject to more movement.
Now I've got everything, I could just have fun creating CAD models, and send those off to a company to cut some foam for. It's a bit over the top, but given this cost so much and custom cut foam will be a lot longer lasting, offer more safety for all of the bits of glass, it feels like it's not wildly excessive, and if I can also fit the cabling into the case it really simplifies the carry.
Not as portable as I wished though... it will be two small flight cases plus the mount case and tripod. Hmm... now I wonder whether I can get the mount into one of these flight cases too with a bit more planning so that I can get it down to two carry on flight cases plus tripod.
I also haven't yet done a lot of work on real power usage, I'd like to not lug a portable power station around, and I love that the Sharge 100 https://sharge.com/products/storm2 has a DC output, so if the storage of 25,600mAh is sufficient for 4-6h of photography then I can actually have a portable setup.
