Check also the drums. And you will need a mounting station. Otherwise mounting is a great pita!
For transport: This scanner originally comes in a big wooden box with exactly formed rubber foam inside so the scanner sits very tight in the box. But this packaging doesnīt do anything else than partially dumping vibrations and bumps and preventing the scanner from crashing into something. These scanners are quite heavy built and most of the internals ant also the outsides is from metal (despite the electrical boards that should be the most sensitive thing).You should place it on a matress or some thick blankets and prevent it from sliding around in your car. If you donīt drive offroad everything should be fine.
