Hey Guys
We are working on building a new booth. We are looking for a better way to be able to transport the device. We have a 2'x2'x7'high box with your electronics on it and drapes coming off of that. However we have to lay it down in the back of a full size van to transport it. This is going to be difficult for other people to transport other than my self.

I am willing to built it my self, but would love to buy a shell if its not thousands of dollars. Any ideas on how to make a more portable, dummy proof booth?

no ebay plans. I just checked.

First of all your box is too deep/wide. Why did you make it 2x2 feet? That is not going to fit inside any normal car door . Even a spacious car. You're going to have to get it down to 24"width x24heightx 15"depth or so. Even then it might not fit an economy car.

Make the box split in to three pieces.
Next make the hollow sections collapsible so that the 4 sides fold flat.

If you are using wood, you can do this with lag screws/bolts and a power drill
(doable, but not recommended)

If you are using metal you can use spring connectors with square tubing.
better choice!

search youtube, you'll find some examples.
