CD Flight case with a fan from Roadready cases

0:00 Is a flight case

Alright folks, first video on this guy here. It's known as a flight case. It's from a company called RoadReady. Now first of all, for a lot of people out there, I'll explain what is a flight case. Well, if you imagine you've got your piece of kit and you've done your gig and you chuck it in the back of the car, there's a good chance if it's not in a flight case someone may accidentally sit on it and break it and worse than that if they fart on it you never know it could end up going back to the factory and never working again. Depends what they're at the night before really, but anyway, just kidding, that's not going to hurt it. But the main thing is, is that you've got to keep your kit in good condition. One way of keeping it in good condition is to use what's known, like I said, as a flight case. Now basically what that will do, it'll enclose the piece of kit in a sturdy box, making sure that it will A, stay unscratched, but most importantly, it will stop that item from breaking in any way, shape or form.

1:21 Two CD players and a mixer inside

Now I have done quite a few videos on other flight cases. When I say quite a few, I've done, I don't know, three or four. Hmm, I'm going to do more anyway, don't worry. Shut up! Look, I've got my son over there as well and he's laughing at me now. Get lost. Ding! Right, OK, but I mean... ABC, that's right, yeah. The other videos I've done are mainly on flight cases where they're quite big and you can put... Two CD players and a mixer inside. Well this guy here, you can only put one CD player in. But there's a slight subtle difference to this guy that may not appeal to a vast amount of people but it definitely will appeal to a few. I would have thought so anyway. So if I open it up, you've got one butterfly clip here, top comes off and then there's your CD player. And then you've got there, that'll come off the front like so, so you can get into the CD player itself.

If I turn that like that, bearing in mind now this is just going to be video number one. That there is a fan. Alright, some people out there may think it's a little bit gimmicky but there are certain CD players on the market that do get hot or warm. What happens here is air and again if you're going to get a flight case with a fan don't be a numpty and stick it on a carpet or on a cloth. You need to make sure it's on a solid surface so there's Air movement, or you can get air movement under here. Because basically what happens is the air will move under here, the fan will push it upwards, and this is the important part, the air will circulate around the CD player, keeping it cooler. It won't keep it, or make it go cold, it will keep it cooler. Alright, what have we got? That's what it comes with, like so, and if anyone please can tell me what all those holey bits are for there, I'd love to know. Possibly for different kinds of plug-in things.

2:47 Possibly an idea, because I've got anot

There you go, but that's that. That plugs in there like that and then that logically will go into your mains and then all you've got to do then is plug it in there like that. That's it. And I don't know if you can see there but you've got these spongy bits here. Now basically the reason for those is so the CD player is elevated slightly, you know, so you can get more air movement. So there you go, video number one on this guy here. I will be doing more in the near future, and also, I'm going to be taking them on the road and giving you my honest opinion. Possibly an idea, because I've got another one of these, is to put identical CD players in both of them and have one with the fan on, and the other one with the fan off. And we'll see which one's the best. Anyway, video number one on these guys here. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much. Or, as we say in Wales, Joachim Lauer.
