Designed by Ean Golden, this Controllerist backpack is made for moving your gear in safety across town or on the road. Built to last, the bag has a laptop compartment and controller pocket.
The straps and bag are reinforced not only for a long-lasting bag that will survive gig after gig, but also to make sure that even a heavy load is easy on your back. The bag also has a stand-up design to keep it from falling over when resting on the ground.
The Controllerist bag is surprisingly large. We've even fit the Kontrol Z2 mixer in ours in a pinch. The front + main pockets offer plenty of room for sound cards, controllers, and accessories. The dedicated controller sleeve holds a S2 / Push sized unit.
Safely store your laptop in its own separate side-access zipper pocket. The pocket it neoprene lined and makes it much easier to remove just your laptop at airport security or at a gig.

There's nothing worse than trying to figure out how you're going to get all your gear to a gig, but this pack lets you bring all your gear in one easy-to-carry package. In mine, I fit: - 13" MacBook Pro - Traktor Kontrol S5 - MIDI Fighter Twister - 2x laptop stands - 6-outlet power strip - 4x USB Chroma Cables - 3x audio Chroma Cables - Flashlight - Flash drive - Headphone adaptor - Power cables for controller and laptop ... And I clip my headphones to the shoulder straps. It fits it all, and it ensures that I don't get caught missing something at a crucial time. Love it!
I luv my Backpack V2, I live in NYC(Bx) and I've been using it since it came in 2-day priority delivery. It's rugged enough for subways and the padding lined for the back is ultra comfortable. It fits my Push, Macbook, headphones, wires and Akai mpkmini nice and snug.
It's a good bag, and has allowed me to keep gigging out of a single backpack. However, my brand new $4300 MacBook Pro has now hit the ground twice due to me not realizing that the side wasn't zipped out. I realize it is my fault, but this couldn't happen with a traditional top-entry backpack. Maybe make the zipper handle white so it's position is more noticing? Frankly, I can live with my $300 S2 MK3 hitting the ground than a laptop that costs more than 10x as much.
It's everything I needed it to be. Holds my entire small gig setup like a champ. Would like a bigger one that can house a Roland DJ 808 or one of the bigger ones. Haven't seen any on the market like that!
