Fits all of my gear perfectly with handy velcro dividers. Easy carry and rugged bag. I purchased an extra set of dividers but didn't need them.

Comments about Porta Brace SZW-3 Size Wize Production Travel Case (Black):
I work as a film/video camera assistant and bought this bag as a replacement for my existing ditty. I bought it over other options primarily for its size that maximizes interior space but still fits within airline regulations for travel.
What I realized is that the dimensions for the width only adhere to the carry-on restriction if the side pockets are empty and compressed flat. If you have anything in the side pockets, it will be wider than the 9.5" or so exterior width, and the travel cover will not zip up over the side. I've also realized that a lot of the things I carry in my kit are not carry-on safe anyway (leatherman, little screwdrivers, tweezers, scissors, canned air...) so I may just put the whole thing into a duffel bag and check it in when I fly.
On the plus side, for daily use where you don't expect to be travelling on an airline, the extra pockets on the side are very handy and are easy to get to by lifting the velcro flaps. The interior is easy to customize with the dividers, and on the exterior 'back' of the bag, there is a full-length side pocket with a zipper that is perfect for storing legal-sized rack leaders and focus charts that won't go inside because of the dividers. The handle and shoulder strap are padded and very comfortable to hold. Overall the construction quality is very good and looks like it will last through many years of abuse.
