One unit all gear/wiring power. I am trying to 3d print one piece wireless holder that attaches to the Nomad or Maxx. Ideally the NP1 Cup will be a part of the skeleton.

PLEASE ZAXCOM MAKE ONE UNIT NOMAD/RX12. NO WIRES!!!!!!!!

or design qrx200 with sma connectors on the bottom instead of the top....

I need to make custom size power and RF cables to make it cleaner

Space in the middle for NP1

NP1 cup permanently on the bottom. Again ideally the NP1 Cup will be a part of the wireless skeleton.

Easy access to wiring which is not a big deal when I can take the one unit recorder/wireless in and out the bag very easy.

Side zipper opening. "K-tek StinRay took that Idea from me and I think it is a MAST HAVE on a bag".

BNC permanent on a bag for easy interconnection between different antenna setups

I have to make straight BNC on the bottom.

How it looks from the top. Between 8-9 pounds weight.

Balance! Compactness! Weight! Easy cable management.

Ideally I want to make my own bag that wraps around the gear but it has to wait for after I 3d print the wireless holders.

I have to say the best part of the design is the Antenna BNC on the top of the bag. It makes everything so easy!

Also, it looks like the new Orca and K-Tek bags have aluminum framing where you mounted your BNCs. Might give a better/more ridged mounting point.

this is a temporary setup. In the bag that I am designing it has a small square of plastic and it is very rigid. This bag on the pictures the bnc attaches on the fabric reinforced with epoxy and it is very rigid.

Nice rig!

I never use whips. Zaxcom RX does not like whips.

I'm really interested in this statement from you Rado, especially as you are one of the more experienced Zaxcom wireless users amongst us. I use Lectro in the bag, but on occasion I've used my QRX100/TRX900AA when I've needed an extra mic for talent, and I've always been left a little disappointed with range compared to my Lectro's.

I'm yet to try out the new XR firmware update as my Zaxcom kit is back at the mothership for a service.

you should use XR. A lot more stable reception.

Now about the statement.  Using whips on Zaxcom RX reduces your range by a lot. Even with a recorder and all your gear off Zaxcom RX spreadsRF garbage on itself. when you elevate the antennas you get less noise and better range.

So I don't recommend using whips.

There's so many other factors in RF range though. I was recently in rural Panama coffee farm country and had a TRXLA2.5 on one person and a block 26 SMQV on the other. Zaxcom QRX200 with the whips and a 411 with whips receiving. I was getting better range with the Zaxcom, but there are sooooo many other factors that it's impossible to be scientific. More a case of "in my experience, this is what happened". Whatever works! When I add a second QRX200, I'll look into a MicPlexor, or some other antenna combiner, and something else for actual antennas.
