The case is part of the workflow
A monitor is constantly removed on set. An audio device may need to stay in its rack. A light travels with its bracket, connecting cable and accessories. These differences determine the construction. Knowing only the length, width and height of the equipment therefore describes just part of the task. Handle positions, sensitive controls and the room a hand needs for safe removal also matter.
For an inquiry from Munich, a brief description of the entire application is useful: who packs, who unloads, where does the equipment stand during use? DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The design suited to your project and the features that can be implemented are clarified in discussion. This gives the conversation a specific starting point.
Film equipment: define the transport configuration first
For a camera, reference monitor or accessory case, the equipment's transport configuration is crucial. Do handles and brackets remain attached? Are lenses packed separately? Does a particular cable always belong with the same device? Photograph the intended transport configuration from several sides and add the actual external dimensions. A data sheet alone often omits parts fitted later.
Plan removal at the same time. A compact interior is of little help if a sensitive connector catches while lifting the device out. Related accessories also need clear allocation. For productions with changing crews, a structured packing list can help: equipment, accessories, spares and the items that must return to exactly the same place after use. This planning question is easier to answer before manufacture than on the next shooting day.
Munich exhibition and event equipment
Munich offers varied event environments. Messe München's official locations include the exhibition centre, ICM, MOC and CCN. These different room types alone show why case planning should consider the actual venue. The specific requirements of the organiser and venue apply to your project. Record them alongside your equipment planning.
Clarify in advance how equipment reaches its place of use from the transport vehicle. Are passageways, lifts or ramps part of the route? Will the empty case be stored during the event? Must the lid be completely removable or stay attached? The available floor space behind a stand or beside a control area also belongs in the plan. Record these conditions together with the equipment dimensions.
19-inch racks: depth, connections and operation
The number of rack units is only the start. Required depth depends on the equipment, its connections and the planned cable routing. Also describe whether devices stay in the rack during use and which surfaces must remain clear. The equipment manufacturer's ventilation and installation requirements remain decisive. A transport enclosure does not replace them.
For your inquiry, prepare an equipment list with model names, mounting depths and individual weights. Add a sketch of the desired arrangement. If another device may be added later, mention this explicitly. Deliberate reserve space is more useful than a randomly oversized interior. Heavy combinations also require consideration of total weight, handle positions and intended handling together.
A Munich project, a clear contact in Kolbermoor
DM-Cases is located at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor. If you need a flightcase for a project in Munich, discuss your requirements directly with Drago Mikudim. The workshop address and contact details are collected on our contact page. Please arrange any visit with the business in advance.
A clear task description, photographs and the key dimensions are enough for first contact. Include when the case is needed. Availability, design and organisational matters are agreed individually; an event date does not establish a promised completion date. Handover or possible shipping are also part of this discussion. Please arrange a visit before travelling with equipment.
Details that move your inquiry forward
Describe a real work step in detail rather than only a preferred shape. For example: the monitor travels lying down, is removed by two people on site and set up with a separate bracket. This immediately shows which questions need answering. The following list helps you prepare information for your Munich project.
- Equipment model, photographs and dimensions in the actual transport configuration
- Weight of contents and accessories to be packed together
- Removal, handling and, where relevant, operation inside the case
- Transport vehicle, passageways and available storage space
- Preferred date and organisational questions about handover
Good to know
Does DM-Cases have a branch in Munich?
The location listed on this website is Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. You can discuss requirements for a Munich project with DM-Cases by telephone or email.
Can I inquire about a case for camera or event equipment?
Yes. Describe the specific equipment, its dimensions and intended use. DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The appropriate design is clarified individually.
What do I need for a rack inquiry?
An equipment list, rack units, mounting depths, weights, photographs of connections and a desired arrangement are helpful. State whether the devices will operate inside the rack.
