Manfrotto MB PL-CB-BA Overview

The Manfrotto Pro Light Cinematic Backpack Balance is designed for the mobile one-man-band videographer. Designed to hold a fully set up Ronin M/MX, as well as a DSLR or mirrorless camera, lenses, and a 17" laptop. A side pocket holds the Ronin and controller while the disassembled bar stores in a dedicated pocket. Manfrotto's Never-Lose strap allows you to attach a compact tripod or monopod to the outside of the bag.

This compact backpack meets most aircraft carry-on requirements and features fully adjustable load lifters, sternum straps, shoulder straps, and waist belt for a comfortable, customized fit. It also features external zip and stretch pockets for accessories and a water bottle. The sun/rain cover protects your gear from overheating, and helps keep it dry in inclement weather. The trolley strap allows you to mount the backpack onto a travel dolly.

The Interior Camera Protection System provides extra protection for vulnerable gear in the center of the bag, and is comprised of 3D shock-absorbing foam with structural reinforcement board surrounded by soft brushed-fabric.
The pack's Never-Lose strap secures your choice of camera support, and a dedicated connection keeps your assembled Ronin Grip securely attached.
Made of water-repellent ripstop nylon/polyester, with hollowed ITW Nexus buckles and Duraflex hardware, the pack is lightweight yet durable. It features external zip and stretch pockets for accessories and a water bottle.
A dedicated laptop pocket makes it easy to pull your laptop out from the rest of your gear when travelling.
Rear trolley strap secures onto luggage.

I bought this bag to help me travel more efficiently as a photographer and videographer. It held 4 lenses a camera body with other accessories on top. It held the zhiyun crane 3 no problem, my 16 in Asus laptop. Chargers, batteries all included. I love this bag but don't over load it. It will get heavy fast and your back will pay.

question

Will this fit a Movi M5?
Asked by: Jerrod C.
While we cannot test this combination, it is only our opinion that since this is made for the similar Ronin M, we think the chances are good that it will take the FREEFLY Movi M5.

Can this hold a Zhiyun crane 3 lab ?
Asked by: Justin
This bag is designed to hold a Ronin M or MX, which is a much larger 2 option. It will have more than enough room to handle a Crane 3 instead.

Would this bag be able to hold the C200 and a 5d?

Would this bag be able to hold the C200 and a 5d?
Asked by: Matthew
Not that we are aware of. This case is designed to hold a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera along with your Ronin-M/MX. It will not accommodate a cinema camera the size of the C200.
