Base Case - the field office as carry-on luggage

Base Case is a carry-on case that folds out into a workstation with two 24" UHD displays on telescoping legs. Setup takes under a minute, and the whole unit runs from a single USB-C connection with 100 W of pass-through power to the laptop. The displays deliver 540 nits and cover 98% DCI-P3. For four displays, two cases stack on top of each other. Base Case calls that setup QuadZilla.

The task is the field office: the liaison desk, the temporary command post, the analyst position in a tent, the classroom that has to be set up and struck the same day. Two or four displays arrive as luggage when the work moves and a fixed installation is not an option. Keyboard, mouse and the laptop travel in a detachable case that releases with one button.

The speed comes down to one cable. A conventional two-screen setup needs a stand, two power supplies, two signal cables and somewhere to pack it all away again. Base Case holds displays, legs and cabling in the same shell, and everything runs through that one connection.

It stays within carry-on dimensions and travels as hand luggage, not as freight. The workstation goes with the people rather than waiting on a shipment.

Base Case was developed in Draper, Utah, by Arthur Jessop and shown at CES 2025. One variant meets the U.S. Trade Agreements Act and can therefore be bought by U.S. federal agencies.

TacDane is the distributor for Base Case in Denmark. The case is set up on stand U 2324. Fold it out yourself, and time it.
