Roadready Flight case for a vinyl turntable

0:00 What you have to understand as well is that I'm 100% independent

Alright folks, I continually get people asking me to do more reviews, so when and where I can, I will do a review. What you have to understand as well is that I'm 100% independent. So in other words, whatever I say is coming from my lips, no one's writing things down and telling me what to say. Now this is a review, and it's a review on a flight case. More importantly, it's a flight case for a vinyl turntable. Now this guy here is from a company called RoadReady. Now first of all, I want to show you this. Right, I'm roughly, I don't know, about 12 and a half stone, 12 stone, something like that. So I'm going to stand right in the middle of that. There you go. Right, hopefully that will put your mind at rest. Now then, what have we got here? Flight case, aluminium sides, springable handle so it's not going to stick out and get in the way. And then we've got these guys here, butterfly clips, that's what I call them anyway.

1:02 You'll notice we've got two spongy bits there

The lid, like that. Now you'll notice we've got two spongy bits there. They're there for a reason. They're there to keep the platter on the vinyl turntable. Now, I don't know if you can see here, it's a bit of a tip for you as well. No leads on the top all over the place. The leads I've put down the back here. That's because if you've got the leads on the top of the platter and you put the top back on the top of the unit, what happens is the weight is not distributed evenly around the platter. So, alright, it's not going to damage the platter or the turntable, but at the end of the day, you know, this platter is set flat. The last thing you want is it being carried for about six months at a slight angle. So that's just a little bit of a tip. So there you go. And then what you can do as well is, again, put that on there. Say, for example, this is on your setup like that. And then put that on the top. There you go. So it's a little bit higher.

2:01 You get your vinyl turntable and you open the box

And then, at the end of the night, top on and then clip it up. Right, now here's a tip for you as well. You're going to love me for this. Now I've done this. You get your vinyl turntable and you open the box. What's the first thing you do? You probably chuck the box away. Don't! Because I've done it with about half a dozen reels of gaffer tape. If you strengthen the cardboard box and the lid That will last a good six months, but eventually it's going to fall apart. And the last thing you want to do when you're carrying your vinyl turntables around with you is to put stuff on the top of them because the tone arm is exceedingly delicate. So in a sense, again, it's entirely up to you. If you're a bedroom DJ and your vinyl turntables are stuck in your bedroom and they never leave your bedroom or I reiterate, say you move them from place to place, maybe...

Once every six months, you probably don't need the likes of a flight case. But if you're continually on the road, then maybe it might be worth your while getting them because, you know, the last thing you want to do is knacky a tonearm and get a rather large bill. Anyway, alright, a bit of an insight into this guy here. Pop in the description and I'll put all relevant information in there. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
