Odyssey FZLC05 5U Rack Mountable Lighting Controller Case

Flight Zone™ 5U Lighting Controller Protection with Slanted Rails & Removable Lid Base

Protect and position your 19" lighting controller with confidence. The Odyssey FZLC05 is a slanted 5U, rack-mountable case engineered for front-of-house and mobile lighting techs who need fast setup, stable staging, and reliable transport. A fully removable lid doubles as an elevated base, giving you added height at FOH or side-stage without extra hardware.

Purpose-built for real shows: A universal 19" 5U rack frame accepts a wide range of light controllers while the reverse-mount comfort grip handle and rubber feet streamline load-ins. Heavy-duty ball corners, silver hardware, and a spring-loaded handle round out a road-ready design that travels well and sets quickly.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles

• Mobile DJ lighting control: Secure, slanted placement for rapid access to faders, scenes, and chases.
• FOH/club installs: Removable lid as base for added height and visibility in tight booths or crowded consoles.
• Touring/rentals: Durable casework with rubber feet and spring handle for frequent strikes and changeovers.

• Road handling: Spring-loaded handle and ball corners support frequent load-ins.

How to Deploy in the Field

• Rack & secure: Mount your 19" controller into the 5U slanted rails and verify fader/encoder clearance.
• Lift with the lid: Remove the lid and use it as a base when you need extra height at FOH or in tight DJ booths.
• Plant the feet: Set the case on flat surfaces; rubber feet help prevent sliding during showtime.
• Route power safely: Use the interior space to stow power supplies neatly before transport.
• Strike and go: Re-fit the lid, lock the latches, and use the spring handle for a secure exit.
