Vincent R. Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I just picked up my new bag. Custom made by protogear (local Montreal prototyping company). Inspired by Pascal's Kortwich bag, but added a Mollie system to attach different pouches. Wow, just wow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just curious what did a custom bag roughly cost. I know it will vary - but is it more or less than Kortwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Jack. The bag cost me $800 Canadian. It's definitely not cheap, but I believe it's worth it for me. I think kortwich bags will run about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired by Pascal's Kortwich bag, but added a Mollie system to attach different pouches. Looks great Pablo. Nice and neat, no extra material flopping around. I have so many questions What is the purpose of the velcro flap and access hole in the centre of the body-side? Also it looks like the velcro covers the whole flap (and body-side of the man in compartment) - any reason you went with so much velcro rather than a strip/tab at corners / sides? The NP pouch and accessory pouch seem detachable, how are they attached? The pouch/flap behind the accessory pouch, looks slate-sized, or are you using it for something else?

From my experience, using portabrace bags with just the side Velcro a lot, I can see this would hold anything way better and prevents any sacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks. Indeed, the idea is to get rid of all the extra material on regular mass produced bags. The back flap is there to leave access for a cl6 to be attached. This again was "inspired" by Pascal's design. The Velcro that covers the entire flap is so that it stays in place while not in use. The pouches are designed with Mollie attachments. It's a system used by the military on they're tactic gear. There's a wide variety of pouches available so the idea is to be able to move them around as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 There's also a hidden pouch in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific reason(s) you chose to go with the bigger OR-32 for your 633 set-up instead of the OR-30? Also, I spotted the Think Tank Headphone Hook on the side immediately! Been doing the same! Pretty damn awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Rovai Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've chosen the OR32 because I like to have more space in the bag if additional receivers, Comteks or even a 664 are needed. The headphone hook idea was borrowed from your post on Facebook's Freelance Soundmixers group. It does work great, thanks!

pkautzsch Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 My bag today. 788T, CL-8, 3 Audio Ltd. EN2 DX2 (with 5 TXP and 1 PTX on the boom), DIY power distro, NP1 box, (Sennheiser G3 TX for IFB in side pocket). Here it's hooked up to the cart. And my first "bag", which was fed by one 416T usually. I still have this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfisk Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 This is my reality tv set-up in my new Orca bag, I've named it 'The Chiropractors Trust Fund' Just imagine if you didn't have 2 channel receivers! I remember back in the day seeing photos of Stacy Hill working on Fear Factor wearing three separate bags at once. Each one had a Deva II and 4 wireless, comteks, and a bunch of other stuff. THREE of those at once. Chris Silverman showed me a picture, which I have no idea where it is at now...it was insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airport70 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 It's by Audio Ltd, works brilliantly, bigger than the Mic Plexer but is also a power distributor, it has an extra 5 hirose outputs including passthrough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nice! There was a picture of a sound mixer in a suit here recently. This is the bag to go with that I presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olphi Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 My new orca bag. Basic kit with 3 RX Audio ltd EN2DX2 + Audio 2040. Sennheiser G3 Hop for scratch track. Little bit heavier than my petrol 601 but things fits nicely and no cables out from the sides. Just delivered without divider...so I put plastic box to make some dividers. I will improve the inside with some other dividers I ordered. Will post pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisyking Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 My new 4 channel wisycom 633 kit. Bag is a 'Chris King' bag from kt systems if you want one. Has a front and back pouch so you can keep the mixer away from your belly if you fill the back one with stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
