Hey,
do any of you know if there is a bag that could fit my xone 42, 2x X1, soundcard and laptop? I’ve been looking on a lot of shops but couldn’t find anything that will surely be large enough . I’m now using 2 regular laptop bagpacks, would like to find something a bit more “dj friendly”. Am I asking too much?
Should i look for a universal flightcase or something like that?
I plan on using my Timbuk2 Custom Messenger Bag to haul my F1, X1 & Z1 plus my laptop to a gig this month. Youre going to need something bigger if you dont want to break it down into two loads.If I had transportation Id do the messenger bag plus a Pelican hard case for the mixer and misc stuff.
I have the magma riot XL and really like it. Defiantly worth it in my opinion and this is coming from someone that owns a few thousand dollars in good bags. It is made very well and in my opinion, warrants the price asked.
To each their own. As long as I am the one doing the load in/out, I have no worries. I take reasonable care with my gear, but there are still some minor bumps along the way and through the years. Even a Rubbermaid bins with some foam bits are sufficient for my handling. YMMV.
Saddly the term “flight case” covers a WIDE range of build quality and protection.
If you are actually “flying” with the case as “checked baggage” there is Pelican, higher end SKB, ATA, and a handful of others that are “good.” I would not trust anything less to baggage handlers.
I have a salvaged gas-fitter’s toolbox (Its like a big wheeled suitcase but I think it could survive a nuke) that I gutted out and replaced with flight case foam for my gear. I joke that it’d be perfect for boiler room sets…
