SmallHD Vision 24 — Cases & Transport Protection
The Vision 24 is the monitor cinematographers trust enough to set exposure by eye — which means the panel has to arrive on set perfect, every time. Here is how working crews case a 24-inch 4K HDR reference display, with builds we already cut foam for.
- 24-inch 4K HDR reference
- DCI-P3 color on set
- 2 case builds
- Storm iM2950 option
About this equipment
The SmallHD Vision 24 is a 24-inch 4K HDR production monitor introduced alongside the Cine and OLED lines as SmallHD moved into large-format on-set reference displays. It lives at video village and on the DIT cart, and it has earned an unusual level of trust: cinematographers describe judging and setting exposure by eye on a Vision 24 during production, treating it as the picture of record on set.
That trust is exactly why transport is the weak point. A 24-inch panel is glass first and electronics second — it cannot ride in a blanket-wrapped rack or lean against a c-stand box. Our Vision 24 layouts carry the monitor face-down against clean foam in its own cavity, with the yoke, power supply, and cabling in theirs, in shells sized for daily in-and-out at the village.
Choose protection by workflow
Occasional moves, vehicle transport: foam inserts and padded protection in a case you own.
Travel and carry-on workflows: compact hard-shell builds sized to airline limits.
Constant shipping: ATA shells, modular replaceable foam, fleet-matched layouts.
Purpose-built around your exact package and workflow.

Transport knowledge
Pressure on the panel face and corner impacts through soft padding. A 24-inch display concentrates a lot of leverage on its own glass — one box stacked on top of a padded monitor in a truck is enough. A rigid shell with a dedicated face-to-foam cavity removes both failure modes.
Vision 24s rarely move alone: yoke or stand hardware, power supply, and SDI looms ride along. Our layouts give the monitor its own pocket and keep hardware from ever sharing a cavity with glass. The Storm iM2950-class build keeps the whole village monitor position in one rolling case.
Unlike a grading-suite reference display, a set monitor loads in and out daily. Wheeled ATA-style builds with replaceable foam are what rental houses spec for exactly this duty cycle — the case takes the wear, the panel never does.

Frequently asked questions
Tell us which mounting hardware you run and we cut the cavity for that configuration. Removing hardware every wrap is how threads strip and mornings slow down — the foam should fit the monitor the way you actually use it.
Yes — that is the standard layout: panel face-down in its own cavity, power supply and looms in theirs. If your village position includes more (Teradek receivers, shade hardware), request a quote and we adapt the layout.
Builds shown here are made to order and typically ship in 7–10 business days. New layouts are quoted per project.
