Get a four inch thick blanket of medium durometer foam rubber and a pallet with a solid 1/2" plywood top surface. Place the foam rubber
over the pallet and the PJ on the foam rubber. Fold up any excess foam rubber over the projector, tape it in place, and build a box around
the pallet, close to the projector, of 1/2" high quality plywood.
The pallet should ideally be sized exactly right for the projector with packing.
Seal up the seams with some silicone caulk for some moisture resistance, slap labels on it, and contact your freight forwarder.

hehe hätest halt einfach im deutschen forum mal nachgefragt ich würde es auch über ups machen ... kostet allerding nicht gerade wenig ... denk mal 150-250 euro für den versannd würde die optiken rausnehmen so das nichts heraussteht ... so können die röhren auch keinen treffer abbekommen ... der barco data 701 aus GB häte knap 150 euro versanndkosten verursacht und der wiegt nur 55 kilo ....
