Long stand DJ luggage purveyor UDG has some new stuff they’d like you to know about. Aside from cases fro the new Denon MC7000 and Roland DJ-808 controllers, they’ve also got an interesting single turntable/mixer case, squarely aimed at scratch DJs on the go.
A very brief bit of PR follows:
The Netherlands, October 15th 2017. Available Soon! UDG’s new Ultimate Flight Case Scratch Plus (Trolley + wheels) single turntable mixer flight case is the Ultimate Scratch flight case every Turntablist has been looking for. The heavy-duty road case fits a turntable “in battle mode” and a single 10” or 12” mixer and can be easily transported thanks to the integrated trolley system and built-in corner wheels. The mixer compartment features removable front and rear panels to enable the mixer to be positioned on the left or right side of the turntable for left or right hand scratchers while the turntable can also be positioned in the reversed way (for left and right hand scratchers)” stated Michael Schmeitz, the CEO at UDG.
UDG Flight Case Scratch Plus (Trolley + wheels) is available for €299.95.
Other new Flight Cases launched:
UDG Flight Case Roland DJ808 Black (Laptop Shelf ) for €239.95,
Before someone mentions it in the comments, the Scratch Plus is pretty much the same as Magma’s Scratch Suitcase, an earlier product designed in conjunction with DMC winner DJ Brace. I wouldn’t have thought that there a big market for one, let alone two. You live and learn.

The Flight Case Scratch Plus is a genius idea!! No flight cases manufacturer out there has one. I inquired Odysseycases about such and they ignored my email like a spam. See if they’d get a buck from me again!! Hate this kind of business practice. Price is a tad high though. If a Denon SC-5000 Prime fits in place of at TT, this would be a great market for UDG. Personally, I would get one for an SC-5000 and 10″ mixer.
ProX has a Black Label case like this that I own ..got it for $200 on eBay…love it…basically a ‘controller’ for my weddings with my S9.
I’ll probably swap out the RP-8000S with a Rane 12 when they are out to save a little weight!
Personally I wouldn’t buy anything from UDG the design manufacturing quality is suspect and their customer service / product support is a joke!
Trust me from recent personal experience!
Do yourself a favor check out the ProX version.

I was looking for a single tt/mixer case for the longest time and came across this about a month ago. https://www.proxdirect.com/products/view/Single-Turntable-In-Battle-Mode-and-10-or-12-Mixer-FITS-PIONEER-DJM-S9-MIXER-XS-TMC1012WBL
It is kind of crazy that there are now 3 of these to choose from. Looking to pull the trigger on one of them soon.
That’s awesome! Good to that there are some alternatives.

The Turntablist case looks nice but it seems that UDG didn’t think it through till the end. So much space between Mixer and TT seems unnecessary. And why make it big enough for a 12” mixer? The should’ve made two sizes in my opinion. If I spend that amount of money on a case it should fit perfect, not leaving 2” of space.
But: I’ve never been to a venue where the table was low enough for such a case. Except this case does some serious acoustic decoupling (is this even the right word for that…? ;-) ), then one could ditch the concrete or foam pads which are usually used for that and keep the mixer and TT in the case.
I would love a coffin that had a Laptop/Controller Stand with 1 pole that rotates and lock 90 degrees.
