Topic: BEST GEAR BAG???

[page]

Here is a shameless plug for a bag I have for sale in the YS.
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=134132.0
It's a Sound Devices CS-3.  Probably on the small side of what you are looking for, but it has enough room for a 7xx and a mixer.  I don't know how big your mics are, but the bag has room for a small Pelican type case.  They you could hang your cables outside the bag using carabiners or velcro straps which besides being space efficient looks way cool.  And it's all about the look, of course.

Maybe I'm asking too much money, but there is a CS-3 on eBay right now and I'll adjust my price depending on how much that one sells for.

i am afraid that the front pocket is not going to be big enough for my VMS5U pre amp, batteries, clamps, KCY cable, mounts, A20 shock mount, etc etc etc...
thanks however. good luck with the sale. looks like a sweet bag, just not for my gear

It looks oddly like the Portabrace AR-7 which I was going to recomend but the apogee killed that idea.

As such, the next one up would be the Portabrace AO-1X which should be fine. Check the dimensions on the apogee though.

I use an ARAPAHO Tackle box bag I got at wal-mart for $15

Plus a $4 bathroom rack for zip tying the UA-5 in place. Plenty of room, Plenty of zippered pockets and the deal sealer super water resistant all for $19 out the door

I carry the petrol pegz-2. 

I want to like the Petrol but it just has too many pouches and straps and looks way too 'busy.'  The color scheme is a bit out there too.

Love my LowePro, but wouldn't mind trying a Sonicase at some point if I get a bigger /bulkier rig.

all those pouches on the sides come off, they are for mic receivers.  It isn't really that crazy looking once you take all that stuff off.

I've got a Portabrace AR-4S/TC that I'm considering selling if anyone is looking for a bag that is bigger than the AR-7.

Here's the original thread from where I bought the Kata Koala-3 bag...< http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=128177.msg1695727#msg1695727 >. It has some pretty good pictures of it there. Here are some I took a while back, keep in mind I have the BIG battery attached to the Sound Devices recorder (7600 mah, or is it 7800 mah?).





In those pictures I was carrying: Sound Devices 702 w/the big li-on battery, Grace V3, 15 foot full size cables, several interconnects, Tekkeon 3450 power supply (V3), windscreens, case with mic cap assortment (4 capsules), cigar caddy with full size mics (Microtech Gefell's), vark bar, 2 shure donuts, clamp and other misc crap. Very comfortably fitting everything in it. It's small enough that I double bagged it into a medium size back pack where I could leave the whole thing in the backpack and run it from there. The original sale thread provided links to other pictures from other tapers who have had one. PM me if you want more info...

PEGZ 3, will give you all the room you need. However, you better figure out if you are still going to run that Mini Me or if you are going to sell it. We either way, the bag will accomodate when you decide to 4 channel and need the extra room.  The bag is heavily padded and you can suspend your gear. The only downside is that it does not zip all the way up which is good for releasing heat, but bad if you are in a really dusty environment.

For me, that is a major downfall in most of the higher end bags.  IMO, they all should be able to fully enclose the gear...  and not leave any openings for rain/moisture/beer/dust to slip through the cracks.  I know that there are a few, but it seems uncommon among these fancy gear bags.

I am going to sell the Apogee, there is just no need for it anymore, tired of lugging it around and tired of using a screwdriver to adjust gain.
