TV Travel Cases: Give Your Equipment and Instruments the Security They Deserve
Carrying around valuable pieces of musical and other type of equipment on gigs, venues and studios can give you a headache. Just the thought of damaging thousands of dollars worth of equipment can leave you unable to sleep at night before the travel. Smaller instruments may be far more convenient to for carry around, however, there will be times when you will still need to take with you some equipment pieces such as iMacs and TVs.
For example, a TV screen might be essential for a show, so you’ll find yourself needing TV travel cases at some point. For this reason, learning a thing or two about TV travel cases will surely come in handy before making a few hundred dollars worth of purchase.
Unlike instrument cases, TV travel cases come exclusively in the form of a hard case. While some instruments and equipment can be protected with a soft case, TV screens do not fall under this category. The reason for this is the fact that the TV screen is very fragile and easily breakable, so it needs maximum protection. Here are the three most obvious benefits of purchasing and using a TV case.
Safety When Traveling
A hard road case will give all of your equipment the security it deserves. Irregardless of how careful you are with it, there are going to be times when a mishap will occur and you’ll drop a piece of equipment. However, when the equipment is secured in a hard road case, you can rest assured that it will not be impacted by the fall. These road cases come with locks and you’ll be the only one who will have an access to their contents. Keep your equipment securely locked until your performance starts, or lock it away if you need to leave the area for a while.
Weather Protection
Exposing the equipment to rain, snow or winds can easily damage it. The last thing you want when you step out the plane after a long flight is to be greeted by heavy rain and wind that will potentially damage your screen, DJ mixer or your keyboard. Investing in a quality hard case will ensure it will be well protected from all kinds of weather elements.
Haul with Convenience
Audio equipment can be large and heavy. Hard cases add some weight on their own as well. However, a well manufactured case will usually be accompanied by a set of wheels which will enable you to conveniently carry your equipment around with basically no hassle.
