Gator G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ - G-TOUR Flightcase for Pioneer DDJ-RZ / DDJ-SZ with Laptop Sliding Platform
The Gator G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ is a professional flight case from the G-TOUR series, custom-designed for the Pioneer DDJ-RZ and Pioneer DDJ-SZ controllers. This touring-style road case is constructed of wood, features commercial-grade hardware, and has an EVA foam padded interior . It's designed for DJs and rental companies that require robust protection and a fast workflow in the DJ booth.
Its main strength is the Gator-patented sliding platform , which creates a work surface for the laptop directly above the controller. This tray slides back and forth, allowing you to position the computer comfortably without taking up extra desk space or needing additional stands. This way, the controller and laptop are integrated into a single, compact, and ready-to-use system.
Inside, the flight case features high-density EVA foam padding that conforms to the contours of the Pioneer DDJ-RZ/DDJ-SZ, absorbing shocks and vibrations during transport. The design ensures the controller is held securely, without any play , protecting jog wheels, faders, pads, and connectors. Additionally, a removable front panel allows easy access to the headphone jacks and front controls without removing the unit from the case.
The G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ also integrates grommets and cable ports for power and signal, allowing you to leave some semi-permanent cabling inside the case and reduce setup time at each gig. Recessed red twist latches and spring-loaded handles with rubber grips provide security and comfort when transporting the flight case, while reinforced metal corners help withstand impacts, stacking, and the rigors of touring.
The approximate internal dimensions of the controller compartment are 87.4 x 42.0 x 10.0 cm (length x width x height), equivalent to 34.40" x 16.52" x 3.95" , providing a perfect fit for the DDJ-RZ and DDJ-SZ models. The overall exterior dimensions are approximately 102.2 x 55.9 x 23.5 cm (40.25" x 22.00" x 9.25"), with an approximate weight of 17.2 kg , consistent with a tour-style construction of wood and heavy-duty hardware.
In short, the Gator G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ is a flight case for the Pioneer DDJ-RZ / DDJ-SZ that combines professional-level protection, DJ set organization, and a solid presence in the booth, ideal for tours, clubs, festivals, and sound companies looking for a reliable and durable solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this flight case compatible with controllers other than the DDJ-RZ / DDJ-SZ?
The G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ model is custom-designed for the Pioneer DDJ-RZ and Pioneer DDJ-SZ controllers. Other controllers would only be compatible if their dimensions were virtually identical, which is uncommon; for safety, it is recommended to use it exclusively with these models.
Can I use the controller inside the flight case?
Yes. The design is intended to work with the DDJ-RZ/DDJ-SZ inside the case , by removing the top cover and, if necessary, the front panel. The sliding laptop platform completes the workstation without needing to remove the controller.
Is the laptop tray removable?
The platform is integrated into the flight case and slides forward/backward to adjust to the desired position. It is not designed as a separate tray, but as a fixed part of the system with a sliding mechanism.
Does it include a controller, laptop, or cables?
No. The product is only the Gator G-TOURDSPDDJSZRZ flight case . The Pioneer controller, laptop, and cabling shown in some promotional images are for illustrative purposes only.
Is this case suitable for transport by truck or tour van?
Yes. It is a touring-style road case made of wood, EVA foam, and commercial-grade hardware, suitable for professional transport in touring vehicles, always following good loading and stowage practices.
Usage recommendations
- Check that the controller is fully seated inside, without lateral play or excessive pressure on jog wheels or faders.
- Use cable grommets to keep power and audio organized, reducing accidental pulls on connectors.
- During transport, make sure the twist locks are fully closed and, if desired, add compatible padlocks.
- Avoid placing excessive weight on the lid in unstable positions to preserve the structure and metal corners.
Maintenance and care
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and neutral soap; avoid solvents that may damage the finish.
- Periodically check the condition of the closures, handles and corners and tighten screws if necessary.
- Keep the inner foam free of dust and check that it has not become excessively deformed over time.
- Do not expose the flight case to extreme humidity or prolonged direct heat to extend its lifespan.
