Philip Perkins Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So the wireless RX are sort of "suspended" in those little pouchettes as opposed to being in a larger section? Can you add more of them? It looks like each one is about the size needed for a regular Lectro TX (411 etc), so in order to have more than two of them in the bag would I get more pouchettes or what? Very smart about how it will handle MAXX Nice work. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfisk Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 The wireless receiver pouches are designed to be universal and I tested them with the Lectro 411, Zaxcom, and Lectro SR and they work with all of them. Think of them as a sleeve that has velcro that secures the receiver on the sides and bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So do you buy extra pouchettes for more RX (than 2)? How many will fit in there? philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So do you buy extra pouchettes for more RX (than 2)? How many will fit in there? philp Yes. It comes with two and additional pouches will be available for purchase. We were originally going to include 4 pouches, but we ended up going down to two for a few reasons: -It raises the overall cost of the bag -Not everyone will need 4 pouches, so there is potential for pouches to get lost when not needed, but if all of a sudden they are needed and the pouch is lost, then new pouches need to be purchased away. I think we can get 4 receivers inside the bag and then another 2 on the outside. Here is a picture of the inside of the bag where the NP-1 battery will be secured.

dfisk Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Here is a picture of our awesome UPS driver who came in on his day off to be a model. He is wearing the bag so you can get an idea of the scale of it. He's about 6'1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hey Dave, I don't see any bottom mounted d-rings for attaching the lower waist belt strap of most harnesses. Is there one hiding there? Also, the large flat surfaces on each side seem like great spots for extra pockets. Maybe with a zipper or Velcro flap so stuff doesn't fall if you have to open up the sides. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 There are D-Rings on the back for a harness. You just can see them in those pictures. The insides of each side flap has a mesh pocket on the inside as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blankenship Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I love that you've added holders on the front for shotgun shells -- a quick way to gain more respect on set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I would say the asking price would need to be in the $200-$250 range to be competitive with the other offerings. Kortwich will have their prototype 633 back up on their site in a few days. Its a good time to be looking for a new back, so many choices.

Angelo Waldron Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Can you make the interior yellow instead of blue. It's easier to see the cables inside at low light levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 The bag is very rigid. Sandman sent me a MAXX a while back to test with it, and I put the MAXX in and literally threw it across my office. No problems. It's made to stand up on its own. The interior color is going to stay the way it is for now. If we changed the color we'd push delivery by a few months. Fabric has already been ordered for this. It looks like list price is going to be around $329. Yes, I know that's higher than similar products, but you have to keep in mind this isn't just a canvas pouch with some padded dividers. Nobody is making anything with an internal rigid frame like ours. The bottom of the bag is also rigid in order to protect it when you set it on the ground. Running cables in The Stingray is way easier than anything else I've used. The sides open up completely. We looked at feedback from end users over the years in order to see what they want in a bag, and including those things does cost money in order to do it right.

hiro nakamura Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I have noticed the two sides of the bag are zip, instead of velcro or elastic tights. Where do all the cables come in or out of the bag. Zip half way, leave a gap in between ? or there is a special place to put out the cables. Let's say a boom cable plug to a SD 633 input.
