So I’ve been searching for a way to carry my Kontrol S2, laptop, headphones, and all the cables to hook everything up with.
I was checking the thread on here for cases and bags for the S4 and got pointed towards the Fusion Bags by smittten. He hooked me up with a contact for a US Fusion Dealer and I got a Fusion DJ Mix Bag… you can check out some details on the Fusion Web Site:
I just got the bag a an hour or so ago and can tell you that there’s plenty of space in there for the S2, laptop and everything else you would need. The quality of the bag is top notch made entirely of a high grade super durable nylon. The color is nice too, black and grey, nothing too flashy and it has a black interior unlike alot of the red interiors other dj bags have. It even has a small stash pocket with a rain cover for the whole bag in case you get caught in the rain. All the zippers have double pulls that are nicely finished in a rubber “F” thats really nice to the touch. There’s little pockets all over the bag! It also has a way to hide the backpack straps and use it as a messenger/ shoulder bag.
Check out the photos attached for the S2 fit in the bag
Anyways I’m super happy with my purchase and cant wait to use it. Thanks to smittten for getting me the hookup and to Nick over at asfabmusic for personally taking care of my purchase.
i haven’t personally purchased one of these yet, but there’s a Youtube video that shows this bag as a perfect fit for the S2 and all your stuff as well.
it’s $160 too.
seems about the ballpark most ‘gear bags’ seem to be in.
The bag itself is padded all around, and so is each of the two sleeves and there’s an internal pocket that’s also padded so its got plenty of padding. That being said, its not crush proof since it does not have any steal banding or anything like that.
As far as the material, I have a couple of Oakley bags, a clive bag, a tumi bag, and a timbuk2 bag and I can say the material is higher quality than all but the tumi bag. The bottom has some higher wear material in case you drag it around or whatever. So material wise it seems pretty bulletproof.
Fusion bag arrived today and, yes, it looks like a quality bag. laptop and S2 fit in nicely with good protection BUT… I cant see where anything else goes!
theres plenty of room for other flat stuff: vinyl, individual cds (not cd wallets), notepad, pens, beer mats, frisbees, etc. but there’s no way i can get a cd wallet in there too (without forcing one in thus pressing against the S2 controls). same goes for headphones. not even sure the S2 power adapter goes in without risk of bending the pins!
I usually put the adapter in the front pocket or one of the side pockets and most recently i just stopped using it I just go off the usb. Oh and you can pop the plug part off the adapter if you really want to store it flat.
I put my headphones in the padded pocket inside the bag but upside down so that the band goes in first.
well ive finally managed to get all my gear in it. headphones (2 pairs) managed to have them in with the controller near the top with cables underneath. and cd wallet in biggest of the 2 back pockets. looks quite neat once you tuck away all the straps. could have made the pockets a lot bigger though, maybe with expandable material or summat, something like this:
