michaelmoote Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 wish I knew about this a few weeks ago... :[ looks fantastic! do you have any photos of the bag with mixer/receivers inside? Quote
Johnny Karlsson Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 I really like the idea of the kick-stand! Quote

If you click on the link it'll take you to the main product page and you'll see the product video that shows that. Quote
michaelmoote Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 saw the video, but it wasn't really clear what's possible for configurations in the bag. could one fit 3SRB/slot receivers in the main section with a 633? Or is the outside "underpants" section meant for the receivers? also whats' the price? couldn't find one. Quote
RadoStefanov Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Q the "when is the Nomad version come out" questions... (: Quote
Jim Feeley Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Neat K-Tekkies. Would love to see a couple/few pix of the bag loaded for typical field use... Quote
dfisk Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 saw the video, but it wasn't really clear what's possible for configurations in the bag. could one fit 3SRB/slot receivers in the main section with a 633? Or is the outside "underpants" section meant for the receivers? also whats' the price? couldn't find one. Our beta testers have put 3 dual receivers (the Lectro SRB) in the main compartment with the recorder. You can also put receivers in the outside part if you like, or your battery distribution system, or camera hop tx, or ifb tx, or whatever you want, really. List price is $249. Quote

pindrop Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) some time after today From the Supreme ruler of Space, Time, and Dimension that's exceptionally modest...... Very nice junior, not quite sure what the kickstand does? Like a motorbike for keeping it upright when stationary? Edited August 25, 2015 by pindrop Quote

Very nice junior, not quite sure what the kickstand does? Like a motorbike for keeping it upright when stationary? WOW! You still remember my name bag from that trade show from 2 years ago. Nice! The kick stand serves two purposes, really. If you are doing a sit down interview and you have the bag on a table you can deploy the kickstand to angle the bag up at you to make everything easier to see. Also, if you are just going to set the bag down in general you can deploy it to help keep the bag upright and not laying flat on the ground. So yes, kind of like a motorbike. Quote
jwill Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 The feature of easy access to the Media door is key, big downside with Orca Quote
michaelmoote Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 I've finally figured out a workaround with media access on the Orca, Unplug everything on the output side, then lift the whole unit from the right side out of the bag, then it's easy access haha. still a pain in the ass and not a real solution.

RadoStefanov Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 I think the card position on the bottom is what sucks regardless of the the bag. with nomad and maxx side load, it works great just unziping the sides " my original petrol mod design and my contribution to the sting ray design" all my future bags must have that. anyways. Great bag ktek...... Quote

I definitely like this idea for interviews. I've often put something under the bag to tilt it towards me, and it's never quite right. Quote
Derek H Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 I'm always scrounging on set for something to prop up the bag when sitting or on the cart. Great feature Dave! Quote
Ze Frias Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Awesome!!! I too would love to see more pictures of the bag loaded! The video was awesome, but like Michael, I think more photos would be great. Quote
Derek H Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 PS.. Will the kick stand be incorporated into the bigger bags as well? Unrelated side comment for Dave.. For me, I feel like the current 664 bag is very wide. If it were up to me I'd relocate the side pockets back up front somehow. Quote
Glen Deakin Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Looks small. Nice and compact. Love the kickstand. Might be time to switch from the petrol 607 bag. Edited August 26, 2015 by Glen Deakin Quote
enginufuk Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Sharing the same feelings with Glen. The first bag makes me want to switch from my 607. Quote
John Blankenship Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 The kickstand is an awesome addition! It's great to have bags made by someone who has actually used them and understands what we need -- and why. Quote
dfisk Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 The kick stand is just on the Junior bag. The reasons the main storage compartments are on the side of the are:-Physics - The more weight you put further away from your body the more physical work your body has to do. Having the main storage compartment out front makes the bag more front heavy. This is not good. The idea with the Stingray bags is to keep as much weight up close to your body as possible. -It is easier to get to the stuff in your storage pockets when they are on the side of the bag instead of in the front. -Having two main storage pockets on the sides actually adds the actual volume of storage you can have on the bag than if it was just up front. -If we put the storage compartment on the front of the bag then people would complain how big the bag is from front to back.
