Oh well: Your rig is very small and neat. Thinking an MCR54 and my new F6 would also be 'sick'. Is there any info on the MCR54 available somewhere?

Ok thanks, found some info in a private FB UK soundie group with a thread from Raycom with some of the specs etc. Looks really promising. Sorry for going OT - but it would indeed be very neat for make the bags even smaller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAS Report post #1634 Posted March 26 The bag itself from ORCA is very heavy. ORCA must think about to make ones with less weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is why I have never been a fan of the rigid bags that have been popular the past few years, and have stuck with the simple PortaBrace bag that initially came with the 633, or moved to a Condor bag for a smaller footprint.

RadoStefanov Report post #1636 Posted March 26 100% true. Rigid bags are for people who can not organize their gear and bag. Rigid bags are also an excuse to charge $350 for a bag. The companies can make light and smart bags but they don’t because it will be hard to charge $350 for some cordura fabric and closed cell foam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrimic Report post #1637 Posted March 27 That’s also why I still use my old Kortwich bag, light, well organised and really good quality, like new after so many years. I tried the K-Tek but they are so heavy that my back refuse to use this, even if I found the side pockets rally well tought. unfortunately, Kortwich doesn’t make bags anymore. I think the guy in charge is retired now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masaki Hatsui Report post #1638 Posted March 27 Henri, Sewers (is that the word for couturistes?) continue making bags but no more at Kortwich. I have ordered my boom bag this winter, as Ambient nor Kortwich do not makes the bag anymore. Price stays the same or just a small difference (can't compare as I don't have the old price list). Ask Dieter for order in Switzerland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
