Arco Video Dr. 30 Overview

The Video Doctor Bag 30 from Arco is designed to carry and protect video cameras and rigs up to 21" long, as well as additional equipment and accessories. Ideal for the videographers on the go, the bag has a hard-shell exterior and is lined with water-resistant fabric.

The padded interior and weather-sealed YKK zippers keep sensitive gear protected from shocks, moisture, and dust. The bag is supported by a metal frame to ensure it won't lose its shape or collapse when open. The extra-wide top opening makes it easy to access your gear, and removable padded dividers with touch-fastening strips organize the interior to suit a wide range of cameras and accessories. The included insert is removable for days when you aren't taking your camera gear.

The combination of tear-resistant ripstop nylon and a soft polyester nylon lining helps prevent scratches and other damage to your gear. Integrated tie-down straps keep gear secure and prevent it from shifting during transport. To accommodate additional accessories, the bag exterior has a large zippered pocket and a pair of touch-fastening pockets. The bag is carried using a top handle, side pull handles, or an included shoulder strap. It has a built-in trolley strap on the bottom for compatibility with a separately available trolley system.

One padded large divider and two padded small dividers with touch-connect strips are included for configuring the bag exactly to your needs.
Zippers Protect Against Moisture
A weather-sealed YKK zipper prevents moisture from seeping into the bag. The slider bodies of the zippers interlock so a padlock can be added for extra security for your gear and valuables. Light-colored pull handles are easy to see in dim light or at night.
Stays Open, Closes Tightly
Touch connect strips on the top sides of the bag keep the flaps open for easy access to your gear. The bottom strips hold the flaps down when in transit.

The light gray color makes it easy to locate and identify accessories, lenses, and other items. The soft tricot material won't scratch your gear or accessories.

Unusable

The TV station I do work for has three of these and they were always annoying, the zipper pull broke under light use probably because there is no leverage on this thing, velcro or not, to pull the zipper open or closed.

Well made, lots of room ...

It is a perfect bag for items you normally don't think about to take on a shoot. All the little things cables batteries extra lights, light modifiers. the list goes on.

Where can I find the trolley pictured? Will the other options (Orca and Sachtler) work with this bag?

Confused, Specs state interior is 21" long AND will hold a 21" camera. But reviewers state that the interior INSIDE the padding is 17". What are the dimensions INSIDE the padding? I want to fit a camera+lens+hood, at about 19", 20" would be ideal.

question

Reading the specs on the 30, it appears that this bag will take a laptop with a dslr and some accessories, maybe sliding the laptop in next to the long divider, would that actually be reasonable? I'm looking at this bag as airplane carry-on. Thanks!
Asked by: David L.
Never thought of this as an airplane carryon, but sounds like a great idea! I just opened up my bag, and even though it's about 13 inches deep on the outside, the inside (with all the great padding) is probably about 9 inches deep, so not sure a laptop could be placed from front to back, but it could from side to side, with room to spare for your assessories. The padding dividers can be adjusted (they stay in place with velcro). It is a great bag for my large camcorder. I don't know what a dsir is? Hope this helps.

question

would a Sony FS7 camera with lens and matte box attached fit?
Asked by: Pacific
Might be a little snug in my judgement. I use it for the Sony PXW-Z100 to give you some kind of reference. Hope this helps!

question

I'm looking for a shoulder bag to fit roughly 10 prime lenses for still, on location shoots. I currently have 2 Thinktank Speed Racer V2.0 that carry all the lenses, and mini video monitors, cables, etc. to show clients previews. Would this bag work? I don't mind not having each lens in a partition.
Asked by: Anonymous
Bag is pretty nice. Little heavy but sturdy. Big disappointment was the shoulder strap breaking on day 1. The clip stretched / straightened out when bag snagged on seat in my car. I did not pull it very hard either, I promise. Otherwise it is a brilliant bag. The water-proof zipper is very tight and I am cynical that won't last either but I'm confident the zipper under the small under-zipper rubber flap is sturdy and will remain serviceable.The inside dimensions on the DR 30, INSIDE the cushioning is about 17 x6 . The DR40 bag (I also have) will get you 22 x7 . Hope this helps.
