PortaBrace CAR-3CAM Reviews

My Favorite Camera bag to date! Great for Komodo!

The build quality and overall design of this bag is exactly what you hope when buying a PortaBrace. I primarily use it for a built-up Komodo and Canon c70, with battery plate, monitor and terradek.

Great bag for me

Was looking for a bag that has a top opening that I can see all my gear at once. Great quality. Holds everything upright. The only thing I could begin to nit pick is the strap clips. They seem strong - but I thought they might be made of steel, but they look like they are cast pieces. Delivery was super quick too and had in stock which came right before my shoot. thanks

Perfect for SONY FX6

I use it for my Sony FX6, Two additional lenses in lens pouches. Have Batterys on one end and cleaning supplies and tech accessories on the other end. I dont use the side compartments much but I do store memory cards and cables there. What makes this case so good is that the camera can live 100% ready to go in there. Even with a 70-200mm lens when needed, even though I have the 2 additional lens pouches in there. Previously I was using PELICASES but wanted to have something ready to go on my shoulder. That is what this is. So happy I went ahead and got this one.

This bag is very solid! I use it for my FX6 and it fits with the shoulder rig and shotgun mic attached. It gets heavy but the wheels make it a breeze

Almost perfect

I ordered the CAR-3CAMT to help me with a new project. I'm doing a little more travel around the state to film bits for our video magazine. Anyway, this bag reminds me of the TARDIS. It somehow seems bigger on the inside. It easily allows me to fit my my whole interview rig in the case, batteries, background lights, field recorder, and all. My tripod case/sleeve and lightweight boom arm for a shotgun mic ride perfectly between the handles. There are two small CONs for me. They shouldn't be deal breakers for most. I thought I'd be honest though. I really wish this bag had the zippered side pouch on both ends. The space inside mostly makes up that difference for me, but I wouldn't have to carry a second lighting case with me for my main lighting. Those would fit inside the main compartment meaning one less bag to lug around. Second, I had several old bags with Velcro dividers in them. I wasn't using a couple of them at all any more. So, I was able to rip them out to put into this case. I know they sell a set of dividers separately. At the price these are sold at I kind feel they should have been included. Again, not deal breakers, just honest opinion. I do love this bag.
