Suggestions for case(s) for three run-and-gun cameras (Panasonic HC-X2

I have one Panasonic HC-X2 run-and-gun camera and three smaller consumer cameras, 7" monitor - all in one "doctor's bag".
But I'm wondering how I'm going to carry 3 or 4 HC-X2 cameras if I upgrade the small consumer ones. I would love to make one trip, but I'm not seeing large box-type carriers anywhere for this, just mostly for still cameras and big lenses. Maybe a dolly and stack individual bags?

I will be following this out of curiosity. I have a Digital Juice bag I bought when they were in business. They had different sizes, and you could stack them. They are extremely robust and the interior pockets could be adjusted. I use it now for cables and mixing gear. Here is a of that amazing bag. I bought it when they had a sale for $99.

I know this doesn't help you, but if you run into one that is used, you might like it. Digital Juice went unexpectedly out of business when the owner died.

This is how I do it

I've been recording shows and interviews etc. for years (usually I am alone or with just 1 guy who helps out a bit) So I have a huge load of gear that I carry from location to location

1 X Panasonic HC-X1
1 X Panasonic S5XII (+ lenses)
1 X Panasonic FZ2000
3 X Big tripods
1 X Gimbal
1 X DJI Mini Drone 3 + Batteries and gear
1 X Zoom H6 + mikes and overhead mikes
2 X Mic stands + 6 X 6m xlr cables
Headphones, powerbanks,green and reflector screens, lights ...

You name it , I have it with me (Even make-up to stop the shine on faces)

Actually I have everything stored in separate bags.Every camera has it's bag, the drone it's case,
But for the road I have 3 big bags where I put all the bags in.

So the lights, screens and umbrallas are stores in one big bag
the cameras and so in the second bag and the audio, stand and cables in the 3rd bag
The 3 Big bags fit nicely in my car

It is also simple if it is a show I don't need the lights and screen bag
So one walk to the location and 2 big bags of the gear is on location

And if you only need one camera with gear fast , you only need to take that bag out of the big bag

The bags are something like this, they are just big cheap holyday travel bags
