While you’re on tour, keeping your equipment safe can be challenging. Being hauled in and out of different venues can easily break your more fragile equipment if it’s not adequately protected. Gather the tools you’ll need to store and transport your video equipment safely, and enjoy a little peace of mind next time you take it on tour.

How to Transport Concert Video Equipment

1. Padded Rolling Cases

Padded rolling cases will be a valuable tool for moving all your equipment. The padding protects what’s inside as the cases shift in transit, much like packing a fragile item in bubble wrap. The rollers allow your team to move the equipment from the truck to the venue with ease. Because they roll, your setup and breakdown can go smoothly without the risk of someone dropping a case.

2. Labels

Keep an inventory of all your equipment. Label your cases, both by number and with the details of everything inside. This makes it easy to find the equipment you need without having to dig through items you don’t need. To stay organized, make sure everything is put in the right box at the end of the night. Develop a system to keep track of where all your equipment is, so you won’t accidentally leave anything behind.

3. Waterproof Tarps

Cases are effective at protection from jostling, but they won’t protect your audiovisual equipment from water. Waterproof tarps over everything or protective coverings over each case can protect it from water and moisture damage.
