Looks almost like a pelican case mounted to a tripod stand, with laptop screen shade.

Anyone have any ideas? or know of products similar. Looking for something similar..

it looks like they hook a laptop to a camera. That is just a hood so they can see the screen easier.

EDIT, never mind.. you know what it is. I didnt read the whole post.

Chase Jarvis has a tutorial on how to build the case.

As far as tripod mounting, should be easy to DIY... A QR plate, maybe a cookie sheet from Walmart with a hole drilled in the center for the qr plate, which would be held on by a washer and a nut. And then some heavy duty Velcro to hold the case to the cookie sheet. Then the whole thing would snap right onto a tripod.

chase's is great. but somewhat costly. but maybe i'll go with that option. let me know if you guys come across anything else

Home Depot sells a metal "tool case" that looks like a briefcase. It's like $30. I bought it to make a case for my laptop a while back but it never really happened. It comes with dividers, and with a bit of creativity you could easily set it up exactly like chase's case, if not better.
