Pioneer CDJ2000 NXS2 Flight Case Review BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Hopefully this is going to be a very simple demonstration stroke video

Right guys, hopefully this is going to be a very simple demonstration stroke video. If you're going to spend a lot of money on your DJ kit it needs to be looked after. Now I've had these flight cases from Pioneer for quite a while. I didn't really want to do a video straight away because I wanted to give them a bit of a run for the money first. So these are exclusively for the Pioneer kit that they're made for. This one here is For the Nexus Mark 2 and I don't know if you can see but yeah there's a few scuff marks on it as to be expected because they're flight cases. You're not going to buy a flight case then put the flight case in a box. You're going to use the flight case for one reason and one reason only, to house the very expensive item you've bought knowing that that item is going to be looked after.

1:20 Let's have a look at the CD player itself

This flight case here has got the CDJ Nexus Mark II in it, and either side you've got two nice butterfly clips. Now first of all, when you release the butterfly clips, they don't both all fold up, they just move away very slightly from the top of the box. Now that's a great feature. Why? Because if they did move all the way up, then they could be prone to being pushed out of the way and if they did release up to about 90 degrees, they're in a position to get knocked. So that's a really nice feature. They just move out slightly a few angles which then gives you the opportunity, of course, to take off the top with ease. Now the top itself is foam lined and you've got a piece of foam in there that will make sure that the player itself does not move a millimetre, well I wouldn't say millimetre, it's going to move a little bit of course. So let's have a look at the CD player itself in the flight case, the base of. Now if I lift the CD player out you can see that the design itself is made to fit

3:01 It's a flight case

The Nexus Mark II perfectly. Now not only that, what they've done is they've allowed a good amount of space in between the base of the player and the bottom part of the foam allowing for good ventilation and also as well what I have done and what you can do is if we move the player to the back Let's say you've finished your gig, you've unplugged all the cables, you throw the cables in another flight case and then you get to your next gig, you open it up, where are the cables? Well, just put them there. That's all you've got to do. Wrap them up, fit them neatly under there and then of course when you reopen it, you know where they are. So that is it. It's a flight case. I mean, you know, it's not rocket science. There's no big deal about it, except it's there for a purpose, to look after the item that you've got inside there. So I'm just going to reattach the butterfly clips. Ah, that's where that thumb drive went. And there it is. So now I can quite happily, if I want to turn it upside down, I can move it around. Not really worried about the player.

Thank you very much.
