Caleb sharing every single bit of his work for free makes me wanna not skip ads whenever I watch his videos. Just a very small price to pay for everything I've learned from this awesome dude! Kudos to you!
For sure! The only thing I might tweak would be to build it in a larger laptop size pelican so you can have a 15" computer screen. But this is dang awesome here!
this whole build and look is just stunning! So clean and so professional. Great job on the project, with incredibly detailed explanation and build tutorial.
Very impressive how you've managed to describe the design and building of this great project with perfect pacing. You seem to have made all the right choices of what to put in what to leave out. Not a boring second, yet so much is covered. It's a lesson for video producers in its own right.
The only "disappointing statement" in the whole video was your invitation to companies to embrace your idea and mass produce the "ATEM Carrier". Man, this is a breakthrough! It could make you the Zuckerberg of the ATEM Mini or the Jobs of the Blackmagic miraculous gadgets. I would buy it under the Caleb brand, seriously! I love the video a million times. Of course, I cant risk embarrassing myself attempting to make one ... lol
If Inspector Gagdet and Marie Kondo had a child... You always amaze us with your clever ways of saving space and adding functionality to video production. Well done!!!
Nice build! A few suggestions: a 3D printed cut out for the monitor would be a nice addition. Using one could cover the leads on the right side of the monitor. Also, this extra part could be used to place the power switches on the left of the monitor instead of near the handle. This prevents the user from accidentally switching on the device(s) when carrying since they are that close to the handle. Last tip: using a slightly bigger case would offer space for an "internal" power source (battery or power bank of some kind), which would make the case ultimate portable.
This is such an insane solution! OMG! Unbelievable the stuff you come up with and how incredibly helpful it is. BLESS YOU and everything you do for this community!
Not sure if it can be trademarked; someone already did something similar a few months ago. See the link to the other build. ruclips.net/video/GNHV8OMGgbE/видео.html
Well done. Pelican cases are so awesome with what you can do with them. We motorcycle riders do all sorts of things to them for travel cases. Mostly for mounting and running power to them to charge devices inside while the motorcycle is running. One thing I would recommend: a cover for the back panel for all the connectors. For protection from travel bumps and the elements when not in use. Just add a cover to the 3D printing parts list. Add a rubber gasket to the under-lining to the perimeter of the cover: Most electronics places should have that or even use some decent foam that you can buy with the Pelicans and then cut/glue as needed. You can hold the cover in place with screws and velcro or if you want to get fancy, you can rig a hinge/lever mechanism you can probably design with cheap parts you can pick up at Home Depot. Yes, I've put in a lot of thought as I was thinking of doing something similar. Except I'd use a 1520 model case and put 4 monitors in it and fit a sound mixer as well if possible: Certainly bigger than your setup. I just wouldn't want to use one monitor.. And if I use Pelicans for more gear as most studios do, the 1520 would stack better with the others. Again, well done. Your blog will help me in designing my own. Keep up the great work!
Such a great idea for mobility! One thing to note though : ATEM Mini does not have dedicated Multiview, they are only available on Pro and ISO. I noticed you were using the PRO version on video, but provided links for the standard version instead.
Awesome idea! Very cost-effective and smart for traveling producers. One thought: have a custom plate made for the I/O on the back and run jumpers from the ATEM to the plate. That will help relieve stress from the relatively constant plugging/unplugging that would occur in a portable environment. We do this in live production world using companies like full compass and redco when building custom live streaming cases. It may require a size up in Pelican cases, but that would also give you room for a larger monitor and still be within carry-on size for TSA requirements.
You should totally patent and sell these. You'd make Millions! Really fantastic idea. You really should approach a few of the case companies. Even talk to Blackmagic. They might love this idea.
I work at a case company that has all the fabrication tools including 3d printers to make these in quantity. We distribute Pelican and SKB Perhaps run a kickstarter campaign to test the waters?
Just picked up an ATEM Mini Pro and this got me very excited to use it and try something like this as well! Excited to do some creative videos with it on my channel. Thanks for making this very detailed video breaking everything down.
Much larger, but I used a ProX 19" Slant Rackmount Case that fits the ATEM mini on a shelf, a sliding shelf puts the laptop either at my fingertips or out of the way, a 14" hdmi monitor covers my second screen, and a rack-mount, switched power distributor handles AC, USB power, and gives me a power switch for the ATEM :) Does a great job hiding the cable clutter and keeps the setup from "spreading out wider" with computers/monitors/switcher/etc. RUclips makes it sort of tough to share a photo, though :)
You must have some trolls and haters out there because I can't imagine why anyone would thumb down what you did. I've been looking at these switchers and you just took it to the next level! Kudos for the time and effort to make this and share all of this with all of us...freaking sweet!
Props to you for coming up with this idea and building it! The only thing that came to my mind to improve it a tiny more would be: just a square of Velcro on the back (Top lid) cause you know there’s always something to hang on empty space :p haha more seriously could be useful for battery or wireless HDMI receiver ;)
Blackmagic design are going to steal this idea. Brilliantly thought out, superbly implemented, original, practical and generously shared. Seriously, you've probably just put a team of designers at blackmagic on a replica project.
Your channel is one of my favorite on youtube! So resourceful and informative, also I love the way you describe things! Whenever I am looking something about dslr video gear I search to see if you've made a video on the topic. And then sometimes I come across gems like this I would have never thought of but immediately am stoked on the idea of. I seriously want to make all of the gear tutorials setups that you rig together on your channel!
Haha I also like it! I want to build a case for me and can do a few more. Do you are interested in buying one of these? I can sell some and if some more people hare interested in buying I maybe would sell and ship them with an official online shop :)
This gives me inspo for doing this. I have a sling studio now and am looking at switching to an ATEM system. But the thought of all of the cables kills me for on location use. This idea solves most of the problems with this crazy setup. This is smooth as hell. I love it.
Great work and inspiration for the limited budget DIY guys like me. Did mine with some changes and is working great. I add 2 cold shoe mounts in top sides when open with DC jacks for wireless receivers and is a keystone wall plate in the back with HDMI, CAT 6 and usb C plugs. USB ports for charging devices (12V 8amp for more juice ) 👍
My first thought was "I wonder what he used to seal around those switches," and then I saw the back. That's okay, you probably aren't going to be streaming from the deck of a fishing trawler in the middle of a storm. You have done such a fantastic job on this otherwise so why not print a cover to keep dust out and protect those back ports when you toss it into your trunk or whatever? Or did I miss that?
I just got my parts printed from my local 3d printing guy in Hialeah, FL. He does amazing work, this setup is going to look so clean and professional. Thanks Caleb for doing this for us pros!!!
I made this with Roland V1HD plus Dual monitor. All built-in with computer power supply because it has 5V (for USB) and 12V for mixer, LCD monitors and speaker monitor as well. It is great. Plug n play laptop computer for computer capturing and additional laptop for streaming. Thanks to blackmagic add ons...👍👍
I was NOT ready for this case porn... Gorgeous stuff! The only add-on I would recommend, which I don't know if possible, or how exactly, is a travel cover for the back side cutout. I'd be worried about dust or sharp metal stuff getting inside the back ports area. Magnetic maybe?
Yeah the original design used all water proof jacks wired into the case and connected to the ATEM. I scrapped the idea as you’d need a much larger case for all of the jacks. Would love to see someone like Tilta make this though!
@@dslrvideoshooter Yeah, waterproof's probably an overkill, no need to compromise the size. I was just thinking a removable 3d-printed cover panel, even velcro-ed, would keep the ports tidy and safe from debris during transportation and storage.
Just finished building my own. Definitely a fun/frustrating experience. The HDMI ribbon cable didn't last very long so I'm waiting on a replacement but otherwise it works great. Also I used a coiled 1/8" audio cable to route the headphone jack and ran the other cables through the coil. It's super clean. Thanks for sharing!
Hello. I followed the baseline of your instructions, but thanks to you, I now have a mobile media kit. Thank you so much for your direction and instruction.
The ATEM mini uses the same Software as the professional way more expensive Blackmagic ATEM production studio switchers which makes it really powerful. You get a fully fledged audio mixer for your signals, you have a powerful build in keyer to use for greenscreen effects or overlays. And if you have a BMPCC 4 or 6k, you can remote control the camera over hdmi within the ATEM mini. (You can control the color engine enside the BMPCC to do color correction for your livestream.) Downside with the ATEM Mini: You don't get a hdmi multiview output. You would need the ATEM mini Pro for that, which is more expensive (but totally worth the extra money, in my opinion...). I don't have any experience with the feelworld switcher, but from a quick look, I think I would still tend to the ATEM Switcher
I built a version of this but didn't have access to the 3D printing capability so used aluminum angle to support the Atem Mini and the monitor. I used black foam board for the surround which is just a trim on my version. Couldn't get the HDMI barrel used in this for monitor output so I fitted an XLR HDMI barrel in the side of the case. I put a 4 pole XLR in the other side as a more robust power connector. I put a BM video assist in the lid which must be a lot heavier than the monitor in the original because it caused the case to topple backwards so I had to add some iron bar in the bottom for ballast. Fantastic idea. Very pleased with it.
Awesome. Just awesome. One thing I would add is a fan in the bottom to cool off the ATEM. Sometimes it gets pretty hot. Mine has never shut down because of it, but I have heard that it can. Thanks agains.
just made mine, reversed the lcd monitor and made the cutout smaller. was supposed to use HDMI panel mounts but cant source them quick so ended up with the back cut-out. it was fun. thanks caleb
Yes! This is exactly what I need for my ATEM Television Studio HD, I’ll just have to get a different size case and figure out new 3D printed parts, maybe even one big enough to house my encoder too, so it’s an all-in-one live-streaming box. Thanks so much, definitely going to look into making this.
Wow!! Great job man! I remember when you were hacking up that gh4 and I was so inspired seeing you get in and modifying it, this is such a great evolution.
Over at Wedding Film School we have a similar setup shown in this video, love the portability of your unit though! ruclips.net/video/SqmkTUvFbRA/видео.html
Love it, 2 things that irk me and suggestions to improve 1. 3d print a small support piece to pop under the ATM at the back of the case make the piece have strategically positioned holes and have the piece printed in 2 parts. Sandwich a piece of mesh screen in between the two pieces and then you have a nice airflow channel that will look a little nicer then a drilled hole (bonus points for sanding and solvent welding the pieces so that its flush with case. 2. frontplate (purely decorative) for the lid to cover the monitors connections and make it look like an integrated screen.
I’m done with my ATEM 810 Mini case. I have my church maintenance man helping me wire the video monitor & the 810 mini. I ordered everything you suggested in your build. I was stomped as to how the video monitor was going to be held in place with the 3D pieces I ordered from Shapeway. I was going to order these screws which looked like something I might have some of my other camera equipment. The design & links to the parts you recommended to build this case was so on point. I’m a like confused on the wiring of the 810 Mini since the power plug for the 810 is on the back of the case. So wiring the power plug for the power plug and plug going into your design. So how are the wiring for the 810 going inside of the power plug for your case. I brought all the suggested parts you recommended for the build. The power adapter the power plug which goes into the back of the case. The two wires you stated I would need I have. The way the diagram looks. It’s like the other plug goes into the left side of the case. Which isn’t where the power plug that comes with the goes to power the 810. Help! I also have the 810 Mini iso unit. Didn’t know if you designed a 3D piece to hold a Samsung SSD hard drive which can fit in the large cut out under the 810 Mini? Do you have a link to order the fan cut out you recommended if you wanted extra cooling? This unit & case is going to take my video production to a great level. Thank you again.
Awesome! I just got the Atem mini pro. This will be a perfect way to implement it! Thanks for taking the time to 1-come up with the idea and 2 share it with us.
Will absolutely be doing this setup. Thankful for where I work as I fabricate using a cnc router, a laser and a 3D printer. Was looking for something very cool to work on....found it! Great video :-)
Great case. The only thing i would add is to build hinges and reuse piece from the back cut out as a flip cover to protect the interfaces when not in use. secure the flip cover with a small latch
Kudos Caleb! This is just such an elegant approach to a real problem with 'cable proliferation'. I can't wait to get to building this unit. Thank you for your hard work and thoughtful videos. Always an informative pleasure.
If you’re using the ISO version, it will get pretty hot under full load. I’d recommend having two air holes and having a small fan on at least one of the holes. Better airflow means cooler temps, better performance, and quieter fan from the mini. Amazing guide btw :)

Wow!! Great job man! I remember when you were hacking up that gh4 and I was so inspired seeing you get in and modifying it, this is such a great evolution.
Over at Wedding Film School we have a similar setup shown in this video, love the portability of your unit though!

Love it,
2 things that irk me and suggestions to improve
1. 3d print a small support piece to pop under the ATM at the back of the case make the piece have strategically positioned holes and have the piece printed in 2 parts. Sandwich a piece of mesh screen in between the two pieces and then you have a nice airflow channel that will look a little nicer then a drilled hole (bonus points for sanding and solvent welding the pieces so that its flush with case.
2. frontplate (purely decorative) for the lid to cover the monitors connections and make it look like an integrated screen.
I’m done with my ATEM 810 Mini case.
I have my church maintenance man helping me wire the video monitor & the 810 mini.
I ordered everything you suggested in your build.
I was stomped as to how the video monitor was going to be held in place with the 3D pieces I ordered from Shapeway.
I was going to order these screws which looked like something I might have some of my other camera equipment.
The design & links to the parts you recommended to build this case was so on point.
I’m a like confused on the wiring of the 810 Mini since the power plug for the 810 is on the back of the case. So wiring the power plug for the power plug and plug going into your design.
So how are the wiring for the 810 going inside of the power plug for your case.
I brought all the suggested parts you recommended for the build. The power adapter the power plug which goes into the back of the case. The two wires you stated I would need I have. The way the diagram looks. It’s like the other plug goes into the left side of the case. Which isn’t where the power plug that comes with the goes to power the 810.
Help! I also have the 810 Mini iso unit. Didn’t know if you designed a 3D piece to hold a Samsung SSD hard drive which can fit in the large cut out under the 810 Mini?
Do you have a link to order the fan cut out you recommended if you wanted extra cooling?
This unit & case is going to take my video production to a great level. Thank you again.
I hope Black Magic see this and hires you or buys out this idea! Extremely amazing work! Cant wait for the content in 2021!
Wow, amazing! I hope Neewer listen to your call at the end and actually manufactures this.
Awesome vid. I did mine with a pelican rifle case. But u just taught me how to power route everything!! Thanks.
I Was thinking of a hard case build for my Atem Mini Extreme ISO when I saw your video, I learned so many ideas in this video, Thanks, Dude.
This is off the hook, Caleb! Terrific design and great video.
Awesome! I just got the Atem mini pro. This will be a perfect way to implement it! Thanks for taking the time to 1-come up with the idea and 2 share it with us.
Dang so impressed by this! So many intricate details and those 3d printed parts are awesome!
OMG! This is awesome! Just recently bought atem mini and wanted to have something like this! Thanks a lot!
Love this kind of stuff. Efficiency, organization, and Practical.
Will absolutely be doing this setup. Thankful for where I work as I fabricate using a cnc router, a laser and a 3D printer. Was looking for something very cool to work on....found it! Great video :-)
Really solid work, this really is a functional and portable set up that makes sense, bravo!
I definitely wanted to try something like this when I got my Atem mini pro, you just did it way better than what I imagined!
BRILLIANT! "Not an engineer..." I beg to differ. That's nothing but engineering. Well done. Well done! Encore! (Cover plate around monitor🙂 please)
I like projects inside Pelican cases… nice work
Great case. The only thing i would add is to build hinges and reuse piece from the back cut out as a flip cover to protect the interfaces when not in use. secure the flip cover with a small latch
Kudos Caleb! This is just such an elegant approach to a real problem with 'cable proliferation'. I can't wait to get to building this unit. Thank you for your hard work and thoughtful videos. Always an informative pleasure.
Gotta be one of the coolest things I’ve seen on RUclips in the last year.
If you’re using the ISO version, it will get pretty hot under full load. I’d recommend having two air holes and having a small fan on at least one of the holes. Better airflow means cooler temps, better performance, and quieter fan from the mini.
Amazing guide btw :)
Don't forget the WHOLE BACK is open.. LOTS of airflow there!
True! Not sure how I missed that :)
Wow this is so exciting and amazing. Tons of use cases!! And I agree this should be mass produced. Thanks for sharing.
Wanted to say, really great design, well thought out, robust & tidy! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
