Anybody use a bum bag/fanny pack for carrying a battery box and PCM-M10?

Should just carify, this is for making ambient street recordings.

Unless it's for stealth: The MSC-20D walkie talkie case snug fits the PCM-M10.

N.B. This case is distributed under lots of different brand names but the model number should be a good indicator...

Thanks. I need to carry a Sound Professionals battery box as well, so am just putting the PCM-M10 and battery box in a small bag/pouch that fits on my belt. It works okay. The concealed mic wires come up into the croakies where I put the DPA 4060s.

^if that's all that you need to fit in the bag, just go to any store that sells small camera cases/bags and you might have some luck..  and options.

Yes, I hadn't thought about small camera cases. Thanks.

One of Lowepro's Ridge models, now discontinued but still around, worked absolutely perfectly for the PCM-M10. It has  pouch for the PCM-M10, little kangaroo pocket for battery module, zipper flap for the flat remote control. I have a couple of them, but there's no model number on the thing--I think it was the Ridge 20, but check the dimensions of the PCM-M10 against the pouch dimensions of what you find online. If you have a camera store nearby, you could visit and try the unit and then get an internet price...

Thanks. I had a look for camera pouches, but didn't find anything that was the right size.

In the end, I bought a Thinktank Stuff It 226.

Just the right size for a PCM-10, SP battery box and mics.
