[Dan Brockett] "...doing a shoot in Philly Friday, I just shipped my lighting kit and a plastic tote..."
Works well, doesn't it Dan? After we started shipping a few years ago I will
never again lug gear through an airport unless we abolutely have to.
If you find yourself doing a lot of this you can come up with a system/routine that works well for you. Our shipping cases are sort of like Anvil cases, but not quite as heavy. To make things even easier we put recessed mounts in the bottom of the big ones for three-inch rubber casters. When we pick up the cases at FedEx, the first thing we do is crack 'em open, remove the wheels stored inside, and attach them. Bingo... rolling cases, and stack the smaller ones on top (I am too lazy to lift anything I don't have to).
