How well does it take shocks as an enclosure? Is it enough to carry on a flight in my baggage?

It's all aluminium casing, but I wouldn't say it would be sturdy enough to put in your luggage unless you had a very sturdy and heavily padded case to put it in. If I was going to take it on a plane I would take it as a carry-on just to be safe.

I live overseas around SEA..this was shipped to me by sea..so I guess it's rugged enough..but of course like every equipment..just take care of it..

It's strictly a table top device. The hard drive trays are pretty fragile, plus the enclosure is not very rugged. It's great for what it is, but it is not made for portability.

It depends on how much you put in the bag. It was okay to carry on an American flight but I didn't have it packed full since it has a lot of room for things.

Not at all. Trust I've been needing it and it's perfect for many uses and travel. Still in tact to this day.

I believe it can withstand normal transportation. However, I would not turn it over to the airlines with a weapon inside for transportation. It is not designed for airline transportation. The ad should indicate such.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

Hi! I may have answered already, but here is: No, this toolbox won't survive the airlines' handling (if you can call so). I purchased two of them, and both had the handler broken in about one week. It is not strong, it is not well balanced, I would say it does not hold the "Stanley Quality". I gave ti to the crew that cleans our office and they love it (just carry some bottles of cleaning, and some paper towel rolls.

It will very tight under an airplane seat. It's fairly ridged and doesn't really collapse well. The top storage compartment will prevent this. I stored in the overhead bin when traveling. I've found very little use of the side zipper compartment. I keep a few small items in it. extra lens cap, small trash bag for emergency weather protection and small micro fiber cleaning cloths. The bag does keep my equipment pretty tight. For most travel shooting, I carry a canon 60d with battery grip, 50mm, 28-55mm, 55-250mm and a few smaller accessories. I also usually carry my ipad air and 10" 2in1 laptop. both fit well within the back computer section.

Overhead or in seat, yes, but I would not depend on it to withstand conventional baggage handling.

I'm not sure how the airline rules would apply here.......perhaps if that was the only thing....no carry on luggage...that might be in a small duffel. The problem is....you have to plug it into an electrical socket for it to work.........and I don't think you can do that in your airplane seat!

This seat is definitely heavy and the rebound bar feature flips up & down when it's not installed and would flap around if not secured in a car so even having never flown with it, I'd say just from owning it, it's probably not the best seat for flying/transporting through an airport. I'm sure there are some that are lighter/more compact. Like the other person answered though, it is pretty easy to install so that would be a plus.

If you are going to be tossing your bag off a cliff, definitely not. I use this for my camera in my messenger bag and it has been working great! It isn't super thick but it is definitely sufficient for someone who handles their camera bag responsibly. I would not use this as protection in a checked bag on an airline or through the mail.

Yes. I bought it to take when I am traveling. It works great. You just need a carry bag for it. It is not heavy just a little bulky.

I really don't think so. It's kind of like a typical suitcase. I put my keys on the top of all the other equipment.. The bottom is pretty solid...again, like a typical suitcases bottom/back side. It is a nice case...but I wouldn't trust any airline with it. (no offense baggage claim...but I've seen your work:)

This is a heavy duty bag for traveling. I don't think it will suit your needs.My son has an Under Armor duffel bag, really big and much lighter tha mine.

I have not had the opportunity to travel on an air plane with it. It would fold up pack wonderfully, with it's velcro strap and nice and handy bag but whether it would make it through security, I'm not sure. Bon voyage!

It would probably be possible to pack this full enough of uncompressible items that it would no longer go through the metal detectors and therefore could not be carryon. But you'd have to work at it, and probably could barely lift it. I've used it as a carryon for a roundtrip flight, there were no issues with the laptop, various bits of hardware, and a weekend's worth of clothes and toiletries.

No it won't feel heavier and no it does not cover portals so they would be exposed in your bag.
