So, I've got an acoustic guitar and a microphone stand. It's not for a microphone. It has doohickeys and whatzits and thingamajigs attached.

The stand has a tripod base and the attachment for the gizmos and geegaws is removable and collapsible.

What do you suggest as a mode of transport and storage for the thing? A rolling suitcase of some kind? A trolley (what we call a granny-cart or old-lady cart here)?

I have a decent bag for the guitar, and it has shoulder straps, so it can be managed easily, leaving my hands free to carry or move something light.

I have hernias, so anything I can do to minimize lifting and overall weight of the gear would be ideal.

FYI, I don't use amplification, so whatever I use to transport my gear doesn't need room for, or protection for, any electronic gear at all.

Thanks!
