hey gang,
I have been running a 'new' rig for the last month or so and have decided to get a new bag. The Nova 5 I am using is too much room for the gear I carry. I don't want to drop $150-$200 on a bag and then be unhappy with the decision. Here is what I have:
- 722 w/ two Batteries
- Pelican 1060 w/ 480 bodies 61 & 63 caps
- Shure Vert Bar w/ AT8410 shock mounts attached
- Shure 4AWS Windscreens
- 15' pair of Dogstar Segue XLRs (Right Angle on both sides)
- roll of gaffers tape
- wind tech c-clamp
- Bogen Quick Release Clamp
I want to get the smallest possible bag that fits everthing and has a rain flap. The one thing that I really have to consider is the fact that the XLR's attach to the 722 using right angle connectors, which are a little akward in the Nova 5. My choices are:
- Nova 4
- Portabrace AR-7 w/ Multi
- Portabrace AR-7 w/ Multi-Delux
- Sonicase
Thoughts, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I use a lowepro magnum currently and I really like it but my current setup requires just a little more room and I am now looking into a lowepro commercial AW.
I pretty much have everything you have except I am running a p2 instead of the 722 and I'm not sure the difference in size of the two. Although I have seen a 722 I have not put a p2 next to one.
I'm partial to the lowepro all weather bags though. The magnum has been very good to me and I like the body condom that you can throw over the entire bag when the skies open up.

Ah hell I don't read very welll I see you want to downsize from your nova 5 not upsize...
