I'm just going to build a special box for this purpose, based on model I
have seen for Laser Beamer transportation. You can ask some company to
build the box. It is filled with some kind of soft rubber materials in
slices, to eliminate all possible dammage, but the box costs some like
400-500 USD for 10kg, 50x50. My projectors are a bit heavier, so I have
more problems with dammage from inside, than from outside. I have a
friend in Muenchen philharmony, and she says, that even the special case
built to transport 1mEUR instruments produces always some adammages. If
you find some nice solution, please keep me informed.
