beamZ Pro FC500 - Front entry flight case for 2 Nereid500 moving heads
The beamZ Pro FC500 flight case is a professional, rigid transport case specifically designed to protect and transport up to two beamZ Nereid500 moving heads. Its robust construction, front-entry loading system, and custom-fit foam interior ensure that the luminaires travel safely, securely fastened, and ready to work at any event.
Constructed with rigid 9mm thick panels and aluminum profiles around the entire perimeter, the FC500 offers an optimal combination of strength and lightness for intensive use in touring, rental companies, theaters, permanent installations, or mobile events. Metal ball corners, butterfly latches, and recessed, retractable handles facilitate daily handling, reduce impacts on critical points, and improve overall durability.
Inside, the flight case features custom-designed, high-density foam precisely fitted to two Nereid500 moving heads, with two separate compartments to prevent direct contact between the equipment. It also has ample space for storing power cables and mounting brackets, keeping the entire lighting setup neatly organized within a single case.
Thanks to its front-entry design, the FC500 allows for easier and safer loading and unloading of moving heads, minimizing the need to lift the equipment and speeding up assembly and disassembly. It is a reliable solution designed for daily road work, where equipment protection and operational speed make all the difference.
