bendybones Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 The Kortwich waist belt system is great too. Waist belt is maybe $25 extra I believe. It is very well made and padded, takes the weight off your shoulders...a very nice feature in my opinion. I asked Kortwich about this and they pointed me to 2 belts. The integrated belt used on the Deva IV bag here (3rd listing on the right) which costs 65 euro + VAT. And the belt which can be pulled through the belt loops of the Nomad bag, belt shown here which costs 82 euro +VAT Are either of these the belt you guys are talking about?

RScottATL Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Nice to see the bag mounted Antennas. I've been wondering about mounting a pair of Dipoles for a bag setup, but haven't taken the time to get them out and play with the setup yet. Thanks.

bendybones Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 What can you tell us about the qwerty keyboard of the front of the bag (if that is what i am seeing). What make is it? How is it mounted? etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent R. Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah, and as I can comment for DJgo on how it's mounted (As this was "my" bag for about 6 weeks ), Just two strong tie wraps trough the loops, both from the bag and the keyboard. The keyboard itself has some limitations, like you have to disconnect and connect it every other time from the 788 to get it working. Though, that can be the 788 as well. DJgo? And I really cursed on the thing sometimes 'cause whilst using the backspace in numlock mode, it will get you back in the menu instead of deleting a digit. Or something like that, as I recall correctly. But on the other hand, it's a nice small rugged device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadoStefanov Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Do you find you're getting less RF spray off the nomad with the MicPlexer out there Rado? It is still there. even a little stronger. The main reason I got the micplexer is because I work 99% on a cart and in a car. The micplexer helps me jump from cart to car seamlessly. I love the extra 12v on the micplexer. It helps me organize power in my car. Have no idea if it is fused.

soundslikejustin Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well, that's probably just gain from the RF distribution being higher than actually necessary...lifting the signal and noise the same. Nice bag, btw. All 900LA's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 A few days ago there was a suggestion for a "Bag Gallery". Considering the number of folks working out of bags nearly all the time, and how sophisticated some of these bags are now I think it's a great idea, Mr. Wexler. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I would be happy to start a "Bag Gallery" but I have been searching for a better name for it. "Gallery of Sound Bags" sounds dreadful, "Bag Gallery" is just too short and silly, I don't know what to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "Bag World". But having "gallery" in the name might make it show up more often in people's searches for it. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Basically what I have done here is purchased some relatively hard foam and cut it to fit between my Lectro's (2x411, 2x201) and my 552. I did something very similar! I'm beginning to think that PortaBrace should make a foam brick as a standard accessory (free). I also made a customized thin velcro strip to secure the wireless receiver pocket, for cases where I only have 3 receivers (normal for me). I also used small pieces of velcro to nail the 411 receivers together on the sides as a brick, which makes them a little more stable, plus I made some little fasteners to make it more difficult for the 411 power cables to slip out, since this is not a screw-on connector (and I wish it was). I opened up a lot of space by getting rid of the 552 and going with the CL8 mixing panel for the 788. Now, I have a little plastic "ditty" box under the mixing panel just to hold pens, screwdrivers, and so on. I'm thinking about buying another small wireless pouch and just velcroing it to the side for two SMQV's, which at the moment I'm just clipping to one side of the bag. Zero problems with those for camera hop, but I'm using them at 250mw on BK21. Nailing down the Comtek transmitter is more problematic. The three things I find myself using the most are Remote Audio's flexible LED light (I seem to always find myself stuck in a dark location where I need to see faders), the Remote Audio RM meter switch to save power on the BDS (and to give me an ongoing voltage readout), and also their USB charger socket. All very handy. I haven't checked to see if the USB charger is actually that much of a drag on the battery. I agree that all the little things -- breath gum, screwdrivers, Lav Bullet, black tape, etc. -- all make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I put up a gallery of bag images: can now be found as one of the galleries under the "gallery" tab on main page. I extracted all the images that had been put up under the topic "Show Me Your Bag" and tried to put at least a name of some sort associated with the bag setup. The problem, of course, is that there are quite a few "names" which don't actually tell us who they are. Also, I was not able to take the time to put any descriptions or discussions (as there are in the topic) but people are free to put descriptions to their bags and to add to the gallery.

TimPitot Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Go, how many hours battery do you get off the mini tx? Any chance of some better pics of your bag, Id like to see what antenna distro you have and how you have mounted the dipoles. I have just bought some but not had a chance to do anything clever with mounting them on the bag - would love some ideas! Do you notice better performance off them?
