Small / cheap bag for mic cables?
« on: April 11, 2015, 10:10:30 PM »
Now that I'm going 4-channel and with longer cables, I can no longer fit my mic cables in my gear bag and am looking for a small accessory bag to protect and carry them.  I'm looking for some sort of zippered nylon or canvas bag, with a handle or strap so I can clip it to my main bag.  The largest diameter coiled cables I have are about 10 inches, and I have two of those cables.  The other cables I use would fit inside those.  If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.
I am hitting my head against the walls, but the walls are giving way.

A cymbal bag would work.

that was my first thought though probably not cheap

personally I use portabrace piggin' strings and just clip the cables to a loop on my bag

That's actually the first thing I considered, but the smallest I'm finding is 20" which is twice the size of what I'm looking for.

I also was looking at the the jumper cable bags, though I'm going to wait and see if there's a cheaper option out there.  This is the one that looks pretty good right now"

I use a tether tools bag for my cables, they are available on ebay or Amazon. They are perfect, have a handle to be clipped & a clear window.
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

Yep, that's the one. I have two of them, a small one just for my cables & a large one for my cable bag, shock mounts, clamps. They are perfect & worth every penny IMO.

I re-purposed a golf shoe bag that came with my golf bag.  Not this one but similar.  Has good depth and is zippered on three edges so it exposes all the contents when open.  I keep a 25' pair and two 15' pairs of xlr cables as well as a couple long RCAxRCA cables.  Works for me.  Pix on request.
That looks like a really good option also, thanks!  Yes, I'd be curious to see a pic of the cables in there if you get a chance, please.

If you getting anything from B&H durig their NAB promo sales, perhaps this would work and could be added to your order - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1082101-REG/orca_or_1_camera_accessories_pouch.html
