Packing the Rift + touch for extended travel. Surprisingly compact if done right!

I must say the Rift + touch is surprisingly portable if packed properly!

The trick is to pack the touch controllers inside the headset. I use a foam cushion thing from the box my laptop came in that fits surprisingly well inside the Rift, with the wiping cloth in between protecting the lenses.

For the sensors stands I use mini photography tripods, much more compact than the original stands. Also have a full size tripod for an alternative roomscale setup.

Here is how I am packing it along with laptop, external GPU, drone and many other things in just a backpack (17'' laptop backpack from Amazon Basics).

Going to travel like this through all of India and many other countries. Pictures taken inside my AirBNB apartment in Mumbai

Nice packing!

Moving to a new apartment in a couple months, and going to have to drive cross-country with all my PC equipment, so it's really helpful to see good packing methods like this! Thank you!
