| Packing Guide |
Packing the cases shouldn't be too complicated, but a few details need special attention.
!!! info ""
Other than shown in previous pictures, do not place both cases with their wheels in the same direction as this will lead to a shifted center of gravity more prone to tipping.
Place one case with the wheels to one side and the other to the other side -- ideally with the latches in the middle so they don't get opened accidentially.
Case x.1
Compartments (from left to right):
- Power cables: Schuko extension cords, power strips, schuko to TRUE1, schuko to C13, cable mats
- Accessories (back tower): Intercom box, ethernet box, audio and DI box
- Accessories (front tower): Batteries and lucky cat box, tape box, embedder and converters box
- Accessories (sorting box): Small adapters box
- Camera: Tally box, Mixer laptop box, Camera box
- XLR Cables: Multiple XLR cables and Headphones (in a bag)
- Video Cables: Multiple SDI and HDMI cables
(Case shown without tripod to show location of the sorting box)
Fitting the Tripod
!!! info "" Put all dampers (pan, tilt, counterweight) on zero and loosen the breaks before storing the tripod in the bag. This way, everything can move to fit snugly.
{ align="right", width="250" }
The carrying bag of the new Sachter Ace M Mk II tripods got bigger than the old generation which means that the space in the case is quite tight.
To make everything fit, place the tripod with the head to the right and carrying handle to the back (so it gets past the wooden compartment board). Otherwise the case lid may not close without forcing it.
Please also take care of the remote control and place it on top and away from the front edge of the case so that it can't be jammed when closing the lid. There should be enough space between the legs of the tripod.
Fitting the Power Cables
It's recommended to put the rubber cable mats in the compartment first, then the long cables and the power strips on top.

Place the camera in the big compartment on the bottom with the viewfinder folded down.
