0:06 I'm ready, come and find me!

I'm ready, come and find me! Another one of my videos for you. And in this one we're looking at this guy here. It's from a company called Flight Case Pro and it is a flight case. But, bit of a difference. No, I'm going to pause the camera and we'll have a look around it. Hold on. Right, there you go. It is a 19 inch flight case. 19 inch Rackman flight case. Now very quickly... The whole idea of calling it a 19-inch rack mount unit is because it will house items that are 19 inches long. Now some, very quickly as well, some electrical items out there are smaller than 19 inches. If they are you can fit them in cases like this because you can get small pieces of metal that can attach either side enabling you to fit them into something like this. Now as you can see wheels on the bottom and you're probably wondering what is it? Well what I'm going to do

2:00 What I can do now is move that across there

I'm going to tape this off here, and if we do this in real time as well, it'll give you a general idea of how long it will take. And change the angle of the camera. There we go. That's slightly better. Right, so for all you people who like doing power boot sales and turn up with those awful painting tables that collapse in the centre, don't get one of these. It's slightly too good for that. Right, I don't know if you can see but you've got that there that folds quite nicely into the case and then that fits through a little hole there like that and then you've got a wingy nut that fits there like so. Right, this is the fun bit and quite interesting. What I can do now is move that across there. Sit that on there, like that. Right. I'm going to pause the camera, put the other side on, set it up correctly so you can see exactly what it's about. What I've done, I've basically put up the two sides of the unit, well when I say sides, front or back of the unit and what we've got is in essence we've got an area to put turntables etc there, maybe I don't know your laptop there etc.

4:18 Let's say, for example, you've got your twin CD player and your mixer

But what you've got, you've got a flight case that serves quite a few purposes. Now I'm going to pause the camera again and we're going to have a look at the top area there. The top comes off quite easily and then you've got a 19 inch area to put the likes of your mixer etc. And pull that up, there you go. Okay for demonstration purposes I've just placed a 19 inch amplifier in the base there. Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Nearly just as important, with reference to amplifiers being low down, what you must remember is heat does rise. So the lower the amplifiers can be, the more cool air they will actually get inside them.

Right now I don't advise you to do this, but hopefully you'll get a general idea of how strong it is. So if I just stand on here, there you go. And I'm not that heavy, but I don't think a CD player is going to be that heavy. Right, just make note... Now, let's say, for example, you've got your twin CD player and your mixer there. Now, in a sense, there's no need to have this. So, let's say, hypothetically, you have just got one amplifier and that's it. What you could do is this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to remove that from at the top there and I'm going to place that maybe just above halfway. The reason for that, it will just keep the whole unit a little bit more stable.

But if anything, it will just help the unit to stay a lot more stable. We're looking at one of the casters here and all you do is when you're ready for the unit to be securely placed, just press that down. That's it. And then when you're good to go, flip that up and you can wheel it away quite nicely. So there it is. Now as ever I'll put any relevant information in the description.
