S4 - What to carry it in
S4 - What to carry it in Posted on: 10.10.2010 by Julissa Serrone Aside from the case meant for it, how do you guys plan on transporting your S4. I'm looking for a cool looking packpack that it will fit in, withough having to drop major bucks. Was looking at one of the old UDG bags, but I believe it's about an inch too small. Any ideas? | |
| Leeanna Ayla 01.11.2010 | I do lots of backpacking so that's really the only bags I have that I can try this with. Hopefully you can use some of these as reference. Oh, and if you can't tell I'm an Osprey fan. S4 in Osprey Atmos 35. It fits in the bag and I can close the lid, but it's TIGHT. The S4 is inside. You can see the corners here. Inside an Osprey Stratos 50. It's a tight fit, but not as tight as the Atmos 35. Inide an Osprey Stratos 40. This is the best fitting of the bag and the only one that would have any room for padding. If I had to carry it in one of these bags it would be this one, but it's still very prone to damage. S4 is inside You cans see the corner here. |

| Twyla Hilst 01.11.2010 | And a protection bag as the LaRobe stuffs for the laptop to protect the faders and everything when putting it in a big bag? Does something like this exists? |
| Julissa Serrone 02.11.2010 | you da man brother!!!! |

I'm so used to having a car, especially since I live in So.Cal and if you rely on public transportation you're usually going to get owned (well it used to be that bad, I haven't used it in a while so I can't speak for public transportation as of recently). That's why I love community s! If you forget about something, someone is always there to point it out for you! Points noted fellas! |
| Julissa Serrone 01.11.2010 | Sweet!!! Mine is on order as well, but it'll take a week or more to get to me - so any info you can post would be great so I can place an order for a bag. Thanks |
| Elliot Serres 01.11.2010 | Well as soon as it gets here ill be on the way to do the bag hunt and ive found quite a few that should hold the beast. Ill post info and pic if the store dont filp out cause im bring all this gear inside in the first place. |
| Lorita Leazenby 01.11.2010 | 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. |
| Julissa Serrone 01.11.2010 | 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. |

Those are just my two cents , Coldfuzion |
| Julissa Serrone 01.11.2010 | ^ man that's a sweet deal ---- but I believe it's about an inch small in width |
| Eleonora Musico 31.10.2010 | SlickDeals has a way to save on the Northface Bigshot: http://slickdeals.net/community s/showthr...id=0&t=2335253
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. |
| Julissa Serrone 30.10.2010 | 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. |
| Mac Fly 28.10.2010 | Screw it, buy the case! |
| Julissa Serrone 28.10.2010 | i'll use a deck saver and sweet bookbag!! Man this thing is gonna look like a monster bag haning over my shoulders. |
| Francina Decosse 28.10.2010 | 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 ... |
| Julissa Serrone 28.10.2010 | 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 |
| Lorita Leazenby 27.10.2010 | ^^^ +1 |
| Nick Ross 27.10.2010 | Damnit Karlos, why aren't you purchasing all these bags and trying them for us? Lazy ass Londoners!! |
| Francina Decosse 27.10.2010 | Fyi
hi kaloyan,
thanks for your interest in decksaver covers. There will be a cover available shortly after its release. Regards, decksaver team www.decksaver.co.uk |
| Francina Decosse 26.10.2010 | Cool it's very likely they'll update the model with 50-60mm across, but if they do it in China, it'll take ages for the first batch to reach Europe ... Wrote them back - gave them hints where to look at to get a clue of what a market this bag would be ... we'll see. Also wrote to the decksaver ... |
| Lorita Leazenby 26.10.2010 | I'm the other guy, got the same e-mail |
| Francina Decosse 26.10.2010 | Sent an inquiry for the Fusion Bag: http://www.fusion-bags.com/products-...ation-dj-47621 got this response:
Hi Kaloyan,
Thank you for very much for your email. You are the second enquiry we have received in the last few days about our bags being able to carry a Traktor Kontrol S4. As a result, we cut out some high density foam (does not bend) and placed in our Workstation DJ bag (SA-01 W DJ B) to see if it would fit. If the internal sleeve was removed, we found that it did fit, although it was a bit tight. The bin could still fit inside as well as a laptop computer. I have attached some photographs for you to see what I mean. I would not want to say that the fit was perfect but it may be worth trying for yourself. Most stores or good online shops allow you to return a purchased bag if it is inadequate. Where do you live? If it is in the UK, the below online store is worth contacting and asking if they have a return policy: http://www.northernmusiconline.co.uk...gn=home_banner This online store also deliver overseas. If you do buy the bag and your gear fits well, please let me know and we can put the information on our website. Likewise, we would like to know if the bag is too small. Kind regards, Wendy Caldwell www.fusion-bags.com I really like the design and the functionality of this bag. If it gets few more inches across, it'd be perfect - price is 89GBP! I'll continue my communication with the lady and will let you know how it goes. Will try to enlighten him what the demand for such a bag is ... |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 26.10.2010 | I gotta say that you guys will regret buying a bag that 'just' fits the S4. If it only just fits length-ways then its likely that the end FX knobs and Pitch Faders are gonna have too much contact on the bag and cause damage. Seriously consider a bigger bag guys. |
| Francina Decosse 25.10.2010 | the side padding is about 3 inches - it could compress by a 1/3 of the wall on each of the sides. The zipper is in the controller compartment - that may be bad ... |
| Julissa Serrone 25.10.2010 | man that's a monster of a bag. Inch is still a stretch. I believe if it was half an inch I'd give it shout....that's bad ass bag. |
| Lorita Leazenby 25.10.2010 | Lol, my bad, I just went straight for the first set of measurements I saw An inch is quite a lot, os I'm still doubting it'll fit... |
| Francina Decosse 25.10.2010 | Bag: Internal: 470 x 270 x 380 External: 550 x 320 x 390 S4: 500 x 52(+ knob hight) x 322 it's about an Inch shorter (30mm/25.4=1.18'') in width actually. There's thick padding which could definetely get compressed - I bet it will fit if you desparately want it in LOL! The bag is good! Thanks for sharing. |
| Lorita Leazenby 25.10.2010 | 318 mm wide, the S4 is over 500mm, definitely will not fit. |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 25.10.2010 | Stop causing trouble...... meh what am i saying... Nice bag, 2 inches to short in width im afraid. Looks good though. |
| Nick Ross 25.10.2010 | Those of you on the metric system, how does this look: http://www.fusion-bags.com/products-...ation-dj-47621 |
