all these are for the marantz recorders and should work(with the 671), according to my POC at portabrace .

I've got a 671 and I either use a LowePro Nova 5 or a Marantz "reporter style" bag.  If you're just carrying the recorder and microphones... the Marantz bag works perfectly.  If you're also carrying a preamp and outboard batteries, I'd suggest a bigger bag like the Nova 5.... or various Portabrace or Petrol bags.  Since somebody has already posted pics of the the Portabrace bags, here's a few pics of the Petrol bags (which I've heard a few people like better than the Portabrace bags), and the simple Marantz bag.

I ended up just getting the Marantz bag... There's someone on ebay selling them for $80 shipped.

RDumm, is there a pocket under the 671?

A couple other comments on the different bags.....  The Marantz bag functions fine if you don't want to carry a bunch of stuff other than your recorder, mics & cables.  It's obvious this bag was originally designed for other Marantz recorders and isn't nearly as well built as the Petrol or Portabrace bags.... but then again it's a lot less money and does transport and protect the unit.  Like Portabrace... Petrol makes a number of different bags and the two that attract the most interest from tapers are the PEGZ-2 (larger) and the PEGZ-1 (smaller).  For more on the Petrol bags go to:

There is a zippered pocket under the recorder.... but it's not something I'd put a Lunatec in..... just microphones, cables or other accessories.  One thing on the Marantz bag is that the photo of the bag I saw on Marantz & B&H's websites is different from the bag I received.  The pictures I've seen were green and the bag I got was black.

Thanks! That's what I wanted... I just need a place to put my 140s and actives. Looks like I might need to find a flatter and wider Tupperware then I already have though  The only other thing I have is widscreens and a clap and looks like I can squeeze that in somewhere.

So has anyone actually received and used their ACM 671 yet?

From Doug on the 5th

"...we should start shipping them at the end of next week...Doug"

For my order they told me the 3rd week of Jan. but I'm not holding my breathe.

Does the 671 have time code in or out?  Could you sync a pair of them?

I dont believe it does, at this point, only the hd-p2 does for sure and the fr2/722 could but i dont know all of their specifics
