What the thread found
- Vests can be transported in repurposed hardboxes originally designed for broadcast camera equipment, which offer rigidity, low weight, and wheeled mobility for convenient handling
- Hard cases with multiple locks and wheels provide space to store the vest along with related accessories such as arm rigs, cables, and canisters
- Vests can be packed into carry-on luggage for air travel to avoid checked baggage fees and potential damage
- Custom transport cases can be sourced from specialized textile suppliers
Depends on
- Hardbox availability depends on finding used equipment from rental companies
- The specific hardboxes mentioned were designed for different broadcast equipment and may have limited availability
- Pricing and service details for custom case makers are incomplete
