Hi,
It would be an elegant solution, and there are Zero cases that would hold four panels, two
in each lid, but they're too large to take on an airplane as cabin baggage. That was my
main constraint. Size limits for carry-on baggage are generally 22x16x8 inches. You could
squeeze four Serge panels with transit chassis into a custom-built case and stay within
those limits, but Zero doesn't offer anything that fits.
They've also changed their product line significantly over the years, apparently. Almost all
their cases have one deep "bottom" half and one shallow "top" half.
Maybe I'll call them again once my system gets here. I did order the low-profile transit
chassis...
That's a really beautiful system/case, Bill.

system i had at one time. It was an elegant solution although six panels was a little heavy
and not all that protable. Four panels in that style case should be just the thing. I'm also
not understanding the depth problem unless your panels were not built with "transit" style
chassis in which case your out of luck. Period. Three panels will fit into a popup Gator
case with the wiring harness ( if your clever with mounting screws) but that doesn't solve
your four panel problem. Keep searching for a Zero. . you'll find one sooner or later. . .
much later. LOL
