Any new DJ bags?

I'm looking for a new DJ bag. I no longer need to fit my awkwardly shaped APC40 since I last searched for a new bag. Anybody have any suggestions? Something that can be traveled with? --- though not necessarily checked in. ...more as a carry on.

I know the mono 365 - which I'm leaning towards, Namba, and headliner... can anybody suggest something off the beaten path though? Must be somewhat sturdy and protective!

Come on - What bags are you DJ's using for touring?!

I'm not a DJ but I just travelled with my APC40 and Launchpad for the first time and my old Novation X-Station 25 bag actually holds both of them perfectly!

I just bought this yesterday for my APC40, Laptop, Uberstand, FW1814, CABles(usb, fIREWIRE, aUDIO)
, Power supplies, etc.. check it out.. Its the Targas Roller notebook case, and it has wheels, and is really portable & way cheaper then the Monocase, Namba bag.. It was onsale for $70 at Staples, but looks like it usually sells for $100...

I recently bought the MONO 365 and it's great. Fits my MBP, APC40, headphones, Traktor Scratch setup all simultaneously, and securely.

It gets my vote.

No problem.. Just trying to help out the ppl who are looking, to get the same quality and fit for a cheaper price tag than $150+...

i still have an very old UDG bag...

if it falls apart i would buy myself a little coffin/bag type-o-thing on wheels that does NOT look anything remotely like it contains DJ / technical gear.

just my2cents.

i hate the fact that with a UDG for example you are spotted wherever you go with it as a DJ 100 miles against the wind.
makes me often feel uncomfortable and raises in a lot of areas the possibility of a mugging...

the girl next door is not that wrong... i know to many people being mugged for gear, if you run around like a glow stick (like me, my bag is bright yellow, big mistake that was... OK, i like funky colours, but because it's UDG it's obvious what's in the bag, bad idea!)

I couldn't agree with you more SubFunk- I think some of the choices out there are a little to conspicuous. Its a good point that nobody ever seems to mention. The Mono bag, Namba bag, etc. all look a little too much like they might be carrying something "special" - Walking through certain NYC neighborhoods, I prefer to maintain a low profile.

On that note, I looked at the Samsonite® Pro-DLX 2 Medium Computer Backpack.

or the Gator G-MEDIA PRO BP - both are less assuming than some of the other ones.

yup, i recently have seen a very suitable model from 'eastpak' as well (one of those you can even use as a backpack or with the wheels, very handy!)... don't know the name... but you can even remove the name label, as it was not embroidered... that is the kind of thing i am looking for right now... there are plenty of cases that have good compartments and dedicated laptop cushioning... and look totally dull and unsuspicious not like you move electronics worth 2000-3000 euros and more around...

i personally would never buy something like the ableton branded bags and rub someone right in the face '2000 euro laptop plus soundcard, etc. inside'
OK i bought the UDG bag at times i still used to spin vinyl only... but our days it's a bad idea.
