Road Case Hardware And Its Benefits

By Sarah Hill


Some artists involved in major productions often find themselves on the road touring different cities or exploring new locations. While on the road, it can be difficult to bring all the necessary equipment needed for a performance or shoot. Road case hardware is important to bring along so that all important devices can be sealed shut inside durable protective cases.

Whenever viewers flock to see the latest movies featuring their favorite actors, they often fail to realize that hundreds of people behind the camera are also working on the film. The actors featured are not the only ones exerting effort to make the film work. A film with a runtime of two hours can take six months up to two years to finish combining shooting, promotions, and post production editing. Seamless cuts and visually stunning shots are taken with an excessive set of production gear all working toward a single goal.

For others who are not familiar with the production process, hundreds of hours are spent on trailers on the road chasing the best shooting hours in the most exclusive locations. Fantastic shots and cuts cannot be made possible without the use of a full set of equipment including lights, cameras, costumes, tripods, and microphones. You can only imagine that this much equipment can be such a burden to carry around, but production cannot commence without them.

Bands and independent singers also need to bring around musical instruments from one performance to the next. These can be as heavy as the equipment necessary for film and television productions. Bumps and milestones along the journey can make monitoring the conditions of the equipment rather difficult.

For these artists, their cameras, lights, guitars, microphones, and pianos are their pride and joy. Not to mention, these usually cost a huge chunk of their savings because they are basically investments for their careers. It is only natural that they acquire the best models there are in order to maximize performance.

These valuables can be kept secure inside sealed containers for the entirety of the journey. Leaving them in the open may cause scratches and incur weaknesses on the apparatus. Depending on the devices and equipment that will need storing, road cases can be customizable and purchased or made to order in almost any size.

These shipping containers can be custom designed to fit the needs of any production or touring company. The internal components of the cases are usually padded with shock absorbing fillers that mold itself around the item it is storing. The contents can even be mounted onto racks or panels with shock isolators. The corners of the cases are commonly furnished in zinc, nickel, or chrome.

Cooling fans for laptops as well as adaptors may be installed inside the cases. Without having to take them out once during the trip, devices can comfortably recharge without the risk of dents and scratches. Drop tests, vibrations, shock damage, and water are exposed to the containers during quality control tests,

For all tests, degradation and damage are not allowed to ensure quality control of the products. Film crews and musicians are not the only ones who benefit from this hardware. Even catering services, hair and makeup personnel, sports teams, stage directors, first aid volunteers, and military troops make use of this hardware.
