Detector bag for the CTX3030 ?!

[Highlander]

Hi Guys does anybody know if there will be a new detector bag for the CTX3030? I find it important to protect the CTX when its in the car or when i'll take it on some longer trips

paying £2000 for a detector I would expect the dealer to throw one in as part of the deal.

Dealers in the USA do this as standard.

Hi mal is that still the red/blue minelab bag, or have they made a new one suited to the CTX3030???

I see the mixture of "pounds" and then "USA" there! Yeah, I'm in Germany and we get "service". Really, I see no freebies here at all.
Folks in the States have things pretty good in this area.

Forgot to say (no edit function here) it will fit in the Minelab log0 bag easy when assembled. The Detector when the coil is attached and folded up and back, and the lower rod all the way into the upper end, measures at 41". The bag has much more room than that.

Taken apart though, it would stick out of the Minelab bag by close to a foot, so would need a piece of fabric (tube) or the like to cover it.

Maybe a box cover set ? think thats more important to keep the scratches at bay. May be waterproof but scratch proof i dont think so.
Maybe Steve Morris can make 1 ?

Good idea, Steve

Great idea! If someone comes up with one, I'm in.

Not so...

The CTX3030's price on ebay (just to keep things equal) is $2500 in the States or €2500 Euro's here in Germany (more in UK). €2500 = $3075 app.
Now, I know we can hunt for better prices, but that % of around 23% more is mostly going to hold true.

But what I was saying is that we don't get free gifts here in Europe (that I have seen) like you guys do in the states. e.g. - No free Lesche tool with a new Minelab pinpointer, etc.

I've got a minelab carry bag the 3030 will fit but its a tight fit, depth wise,by chance I found a zip up golfing bag thats padded,perfect fit for 4 quid at a charity shop.

I bought 2 deluxe carry bags from Detecnicks a while ago for my other machines, one fits the CTX perfect the other wont zip up (just). Guess if you spoke to Laura she would make sure one fits before sending, these bags are the best quality ive seen. 100% recommended.
