Namba BIG NAMBA Laptop Studio Backpack

Planet DJ is an authorized NAMBA dealer

The Big Namba Studio Backpack was created by a design team of musicians and DJs to provide an optimum carrying solution for a laptop mobile studio or computer dj requiring a large control surface and using up to a 17" laptop computer. They call it a high performance bag because of the construction detail and the extreme high grade 1680D poly nylon materials used.

Designed for security, the Big Namba backpack has many musician friendly details that separate it from the other solutions on the market. Extremely long lockable zippers and unsnappable hinges which allow easier packing, a cable management system that makes it easy to keep cables organized, special material that wicks moisture away from your back, and even a secret stash pocket (for your iLoks, etc.) are a few of the special features.



As the Namba Gear designers were doing their research on the ultimate perfect size for the Big Namba Studio Backpack, they were also keeping in mind the current carry-on size restrictions of the airline industry. Although there is a standard, which is 22" x 14" x 9" or 45" total, every airline has their own size restrictions which can sometimes vary even within a single airline depending on the size of aircraft or the attitude of the check-in agent.



So they had to look at both the exterior size of the backpack as well as try to maximize the interior space to include the largest number of controllers. M-Audio's Axiom25 was chosen as the measuring stick, because they knew that if they could get this "big boy" to fit and still follow the airline restrictions that they would be in good shape with most of the controllers on the market.



This lead to the development of the unhinging side on the large compartment, so that the backpack could open 180 degrees and the controller could actually be packed into a flat case.



Unfortunately, that did leave a few controllers unprotected and stranded on the sidewalk because they were just too big to fit Namba's criteria for them to recommend them for the Big Namba.



The Korg25 is listed at 19.25" inches long and although it is only .25" longer than the Big Namba Studio Backpack's interior dimension, it stretches the bag uncomfortably. The Novation XioSynth 25 which has on-board sounds as well as being a MIDI controller is a little wide at 12.54". Likewise, the Stanton CM.205/CM.203 dj controllers are just a little fat at 4.29" depth to recommend packing alongside your laptop. These Korg, Novation \\& Stanton controllers can be made to fit, just not with Namba's recommendation considering the bag design. The Yamaha KX-25 at just under 20" long and the Korg MicroX at 23.86" long will not fit; don't even try.

The result is a backpack that will accommodate a majority of controllers and should still fit in the overhead compartment of most airlines, bearing in mind that each airline can change their minds about size restrictions and some smaller planes will simply not accommodate anything much bigger that a construction worker's lunchbox. Sorry about having to include the caveat, but it is true.
