A system comprising:

• an elongated shipping box of corrugated material having two ends, a first box end and a second box end;
• a portable, elongated bag with two opposing ends closeable through the operation of at least one zipper extended from a first bag end to a second bag end, the portable, elongated bag collapsed within the elongated shipping box, the two opposing box ends having substantially similar interior dimensions as the two opposing bag ends;
• and
• a first padded insert and a second padded insert, each conformed to the interior dimensions of and so as to fit within the first box end, the second box end, the first bag end, and the second bag end.

• the first padded insert comprising a series of at least two concentric, affixed and removable padded portions such that removal of a first of the portions creates an opening of a first size and removal of the second portion enlarges the opening to a second size, both for protective storage of fragile apparatus within the portable, elongated bag;
• the first portion including a central, interior cross cut that allows for the insertion of apparatus of a smaller diameter than the first portion and including an anterior cross cut that accommodates the insertion of apparatus of a larger diameter than the opening when enlarged to the second size;
• the second padded insert includes a central opening of a first diameter and an anterior cross cut so as to accommodate the insertion of apparatus of a diameter larger than that of the first diameter, a cross cut of a second diameter so as to accommodate the insertion of an apparatus of the second diameter, and an opening of a third diameter so as to accommodate the insertion of an apparatus of the third diameter.
