I also put the handle and mic inside the rolled up dish, then the whole
thing goes into the bag - very handy and very secure from impact, etc. The=
dish provides excellent protection for the more fragile elements. Put some=
packing at the ends of the rolled up dish and some between the handle and
the mic, just so they don't rattle into each other. I generally care the
bag on with me, so there is no chance that I'll get where I'm going, but
the mic takes its own trip somewhere else. Clothes and toothpaste you can
replace, but without your mic...
