ssia - what bag are you using w/ your 722/744???

looking for portability and small size, but w/o giving up protection.

I really like the portabrace w/ a RM-Multi. 

If you need more room check out the Petrol Eargonizer

If you are looking for some thing cheaper
You could also build a rack setup into a Nova 4

is that like the dap-1 portabrace? jeez, blast from the past. i sold that brick years ago - and threw in that brace for free. DOH

fozzy - you run the HO's w/ the 722 right? how'd you like it? i'm sick of lugging my mp2/ad2k+, batteries, and all... along w/ a laptop to capture it all...
now it'll just be the HO's>>722.

i have a targus rakgear but i don't think it'll be very good for the 722.

I want a bag that i'll be able to put other stuff in too - clamp, a20 shockmount, cables, mics. earplugs, drugs.

The PB CS-7 holds the 722 and 2 batts (one attached and one just sitting there) or my custom batt pack.
the RM-Multi main pouch holds.  In tuperware(1 set of caps w/ active cables attached w/ DPA windscreens and a shure A53M), a countryman pouch w/ DIN and DINa bar and mic bodies.  12" RCA interconnects w/ standard neutriks and mini-quad, hyper caps in individual containers.
The front pouch on the RM-Multi holds: a plasic trash bag, windtech clamp w/ stud, standard mic stand stud, mini-mag, gitzo ball and socket extension.

I keep a roll of gaffers tape threaded through a accessory loop.

currently i have 2(going to be 3) 7.4v 7.2AH packs going into a sony dummy cell.  It give me 14+ hours of runtime. 
Each pack costs ~50 which i thought was a bargain till I found some 6.6AH Sony batteries for ~40 a piece.

each pack has 6 of these
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=945&strVarSel=11&strCompare=

I charge the packs w/ an astroflight 109 li-poly charger.  It can charge each pack in a bout an hour.

Pros:
no battery swap
14+ (soon to be 20+) runtime [Verified @ 24/96 & 24/48]
fast recharge (full 1C rate) each pack rechrges in about 1hr15min [most sony style chargers run ~1amp or less (6hr recharger for a 6A batt)]

Cons:
pricey (3x Np-960 = ~120) (3 packs + charger ~250)
probably couldn't do air travel w/ this pack since the TSA only allows 12 li-ion cells Unassembled unless it has CE certification for the pack (which it doesn't, and probably couldn't meet)

in that pic of the trew bag, those heavy duty rubber shocks, the k-tek ones that can withstand an earthquake, are what i have on my AT 8415's ;d

sorry, just dont see those heavy duty versions much at all, i think im the only one who runs them in the filed at shows

that trew is bad-ass tho

I've found that the Nova 5 works quite well.  It gives me plenty of room for the Sax, 722, cables, clamps, gaffers tape, cell phone, iPod, spare batteries, etc.

[willndmb]

i have heard the novas work good too
are there any backpack style bags besides the rakgear that people use specifically?

[Ray76]

does anyone use the sonicase w/ their 722/44?

I think one person does..though I cant remember who....

[Tim]

boswell, escott, and joew use a soniccase

william put together a false bottom that the 722 sits on with a cutout for the battery

[fsulloway]

I've seen a few in bags like these.
