    Soooo... What's in your DJ bag/backpack?

    Post Pics/Video of what's in your DJ bag/backpack!

    There are some really nice (and expensive) backpacks in the marketplace and I'm considering buying one. Currently I'm using an all red Case Logic 15.6" laptop backpack with wide straps.

    Here's whats in my bag (camera is busted):

    MacBook Pro w/ Power Cord
    Shure Case w/ (2) M447's
    Backup Cartridge and Needle Cleaning Kit
    500GB External HDD
    Various Cables (USB, Mic, Monitor, RCA, Etc.)
    Vmoda Headphones (they hang in their own case by a hook off my bag)
    Uberstand
    Serato Records - (2) Clear, (1) Black
    Butter Rugs and Black Ice Slipmats
    Flashlight
    Digital Point-n-Shoot Camera w/ (2) Batteries
    Tripod for Camera
    Droid Charger

    i have a burton DJ bag i bought in '07. i did a review on it in DJ 1.0. i guess i can make another review that covers the long term. that bag replaced my old udg recordbag.

    what i keep in it now since moving on from vinyl, cds and scratch live:

    my macbook pro in the laptop slot
    my laptop stand
    usb cables
    backup hard drive(s)
    and misc items

    the rest of my gear comes in a rolling carry on luggage, which stores and transports my traktor kontrol s4.

    will shoot some pics after i get off work in 2 hours.

    I have two. One houses my laptop, vinyl, headphones, and some power cables (if they fit). My other one has my D.2, X-Session Pro, SL1, needles and some random cable. It's not ideal, but fuck it I'll do it live.

    Right now Im back to spinning with cd's. So I only carry my two Slappa cd wallets (40 discs each) and Sennheiser HD25.
    Sometimes I also bring my Xone DB4.

    And I used to play digital, then I carried:
    -2011 13" Macbook Air. 256GB 1.8Ghz i7.
    -Kontrol X1
    -Audioquest USB cables
    -A&H Xone DB4 (used the built-in soundcard)

    A&H Xone DB4, 2x Pioneer CDJ-800 mk2, 2x Reloop RP4000, 13" Macbook Air i7, Akai MPK25, Moog Slim Phatty

    UDG Traktor Bag and Traktor SF Trolley...FULL of crap.

    -MBP 15"
    -IoSafe Rugged External HD
    -Traktor Kontrol X1 (x2)
    -Powered USB Port
    -Audio 10
    -Xone Headphones
    -Crane Stand
    -Korg Nanopad 2
    -4 Channel Audio Snake
    -Furman Power conditioner / strip
    -Book of CDs + Control CDs
    -Shure SM58 mic and cord
    -Mix CDs and a block of business cards
    -Ipod with cables (for backup)
    -Owners manuals (so when you go through FSA can see that these are not home made electronics)
    -All the usual accessories like (RCA to RCA / XLR Converters / Flashlights / Lighted USB Cables / Extra power source for my Audio 10 / Extra power for my MBP / Zip ties / screwdriver set / cleaning rags etc.)

    Come to think of it, this isnt much better than carrying a bag of vinyl (weight wise), but it par for the course with making sure I have everything I need for gigs - and the wheels on the trolley make it a breeze to bring it everywhere (airports included)
