Best 3 Elektron hard case for a plane

Been using mine that way for years without issue.

Thanks for the reply!
It is truly great how small the case is compared to my earlier means of transportation

Hello,
I’m working on my first diy flightcase, not all of the equipment is in it, I’m thinking to grab maybe a mono machine and on the side is place for modules

Following the theme of the thread, you won’t be permitted to carry that onto an airplane.

Took a crack at this. Works beautifully I might take the additional step of spraying the foam with something that will reinforce it since I have a single row of foam between the RYTM and the MD (would’ve ended up with a single row between 2 of them no matter where I chose to pluck it). Thanks everyone for the amazing tips on this, I managed to fit my RYTM, MD, MM, and ERM Multiclock.

I modified a rifle case to fit two elektrons and a prophet 6 desktop or one elektron, a Avalon and prophet 6 or three elektrons.

Just have bits of foam that come in and out

my first live gig is coming up in 2 weeks time and I finally get to test the HPRC 2550W

tried a few configurations and I was able to fit OT, MM, AH and DN, plus I’ll be able to squeeze an ideal DT which I’m planning to get in the long term

it doesn’t fit AR and A4 mk2 unfortunately as they’re definitely too big

(AR mk2 fits perfectly in The North Face Recon laptop padded sleeve though!)

only taking DN, AH and OT this time, with some space for cables and PSUs

Keep in mind that this one is too large for carry-on.

Quick update:
I haven’t been doing many gigs this past year, partly due to a new job that requires some travel that often gets scheduled only a week in advance.

I’ve been using the HPRC 2550W with the foam removed as my main carry-on luggage, and its durability has been impressive. It just got banged to hell on my last flight with loads of marks on the case, but it still rolls on without issue. Super impressed with its durability.

Thank you for this! I’m moving down south in a few months and have just started looking for cases.

I just had a 2550W delivered today, and honestly I am a bit surprised at how difficult it is to close the lid with a RYTM MK1 oriented vertically like everyone is showing in their photos here. I know folks here said that the compression was tight, but dang it is really tight! Takes a lot of force to close, and the case lid visibly bulges when it is latched. Is everyone with a 2550 really putting that much pressure on their Elektrons?

AdamJay · 2019-11-15T04:59:23.774Z

It’s fine.
Only the foam is compressing and holding your steel cased elektrons securely in place.

Moar pics pls

I would love to have a case as well but more something with everything already cabled so I open it and I just have one power cable to connect and everything is on.
I have as of today A4, AR, avalon bassline and two distortion pedals. I might add a small mixer or an OT to do the mixing job but I’m not too sure about that. Right now I have avalon into A4 which itself goes into AR which goes to the output.

Such a case would be impossible to carry onto a plane.

abique · 2019-11-25T23:45:22.199Z

I’m not so successful that I would carry it in a plane
It is just to put in a car or take it from one room to another…

AdamJay · 2019-11-26T00:23:32.876Z

Right.

But this topic is specific to air travel.

There are other topics that are not.

abique · 2019-11-27T08:11:30.657Z

Well then, excuse me.

Gloaming · 2021-07-31T17:01:44.478Z
