I have a Samsonite hard-side suitcase I got from Costco for fairly cheap. I have 2 memory foam dog beds I got from Petsmart for cheap.
I remove the loop, handset and NERD. I unbolt the rEvo factory stand base from the standoffs at the bottom.
I pack the unit and the stand base in the suitcase (with the hex wrench needed to put the stand back on), sandwiched between the dog beds. It's a very snug fit. The unit is very well padded around all 6 sides and doesn't shift an inch during transport.
It weighs in right at 49#. I check it as luggage.
I have taken it like that to Utila and to Bonaire. And I have shipped my Micro and my old Mini each like that, in that same suitcase with a mailing label just stuck to the outside of the suitcase, via UPS, from VA to WA to have each unit serviced. Never any issue whatsoever.
When I fly with my unit, I have always had so much camera gear that the camera gear is what gets carried on. No way to also carry my rEvo on.
