How do you transport gooseneck microphones?

March 28, 2016 at 8:44 pmDoes anyone have a solution for transporting gooseneck microphones? I need to carry 8 to 12 of them for meetings my channel covers and I can’t find a good way to transport them. I’d like something that can be rolled and has padding to keep mic necks from getting bent – does anyone know of anything like that?
Thanks!
By the way, the mics we’re using are Shure MX412D/C goosenecks like the ones at the link below:

There are 8 mics (4 rows of opposing mics) in a removable upper tray, and 8 below. All surrounded by foam.
