S4 - What to carry it in

[haze324]

alright this thing ships in 2 days or has already started shipping.

WTF have we decided on for a bag? I'm gonna end up carrying this to a gig in a garbage bag =O

Bad news on the Fusion DJ Workstation bag - they are not as flexible as we want them to be

They will wait for a confirmation that S4 doesn't fit well (it's an inch+ smaller, WTF). Then they want to wait and see what new controllers will pop out in 2011. Eventually they *may* expand their curret bag and make it perfect fit S4 bag ...

At least a decksaver will come soon ...

i'll use a deck saver and sweet bookbag!!

Man this thing is gonna look like a monster bag haning over my shoulders.

Screw it, buy the case!

Ok it's here. Well not here with me, but here with the guys who got it.

So...what do we carry this thing. I wanna spend some cash and order a bag this weekend.

SlickDeals has a way to save on the Northface Bigshot:

RockyMountainTrail.com has The North Face Big Shot 17 inch laptop backpack for 79.10 + 10% off with coupon code "Holiday" + 6% from e bates. (Regular price = $99)

Not sure if 6% applies before or after the 10% off.

The final price with e bates will be either $66.92 or $66.44.

My local dealer set price S4 FlightCASE on 309USD$$ LoL

Just buy it from DJTT duh! It's $169.99. Personally as a (brand) new DJ I am thinking of picking the flight case up - almost - for sure. The reason being I know for a fact it will keep my S4 safe, and because it doubles as a laptop stand.

Here is the link to the DJTT store with the flight case: http://techtools.myshopify.com/produ...s4-flight-case

The other backpacks people have been posting are also great choices (well not really seeing how most of them don't fit the S4 "well"), but for $30 - $70 price difference, i'd rather be safe than sorry (especially since it will be holding over $1000 worth of equipment).

Those are just my two cents ,

its not so much about the price. I'll pay 200.00 for the right back. It's portability. Its much easier to travel with bag than a case, and it's also easier to store a bag at gig than it is a case.

Right now I travel with a Colombia back back with a VCI-300, VFX-1, MBP, and extra Audio 8. Much more than 1000.00 bucks worth, but it's so easy to transport.

If not now, i'm hoping something comes available soon.

I agree with Haze. It's so much easier to throw everything into a backpack with a pair of clean undies, and just throw it on your back. Especially when you don't have a car, and have to travel everywhere by train or bus.

Also, a backpack doesn't drag as much attention in public transport as a big flight case with Traktor in it will.
