Great bag for the F6

Completely satisfied!

Nice little bag, firm fit, just what we needed

By Matthew

We very much like the Zoom F6 for run and gun video shoots with limited crew, but we needed a way to strap it to someone securely and without limiting access. This bag is well built, and has four different point that you can use to hook it to something. There are the two obvious loops at the top corners that the included shoulder strap hooks to, but there are two more nylon loops at the bottom back corners that you can put d-rings or carabiners through if you want to attach the thing to a vest and want the weight to be held at the bottom of the bag instead of the top. We only have two lavs (Sennheiser G3s), so this bag is a nice fit for them, as we can fit both of them in the front pocket with all the XLR connections between them and the recorder running through the inside of the bag. We decided to power our F6 from a standard USB-C power bank like you would use for your cell phone. The Orca bag has a back pouch that is the right size to fit our power bank. This makes it so that we can run the thing all day without ever having to worry about power, and then just charge up the bank at night. The short USB-C cable that we use to connect the power bank to the F6 also fits inside the bag completely. As a result, when we are operating the thing, we don't have a bunch of cables hanging everywhere despite the fact that it's not a very big bag. The zip away sides work very well for providing access to the 6 XLR ports and the bottom of the recorder, such that we never have to take it out of the bag but can leave it permanently strapped inside. When we do run a shotgun mic on a boom with it, we can still keep the sides mostly zipped up to protect everything inside from the elements or what have you. The reason I took off a star is that when I first got the bag, it wasn't tremendously clear how I was supposed to strap the F6 into it securely. I worked out a way to wrap the inner velcro straps at the top around the the F6's bottom rods and the bag's rods at the top corners. The bag's lower straps that have the plastic clips on them don't seem to be designed to go with the F6. I'm not sure how they're supposed to be laced around it or through its rods. There isn't really an explanation, so who knows what the designer at Orca was thinking. In any case, we got it working in a satisfactory way so it now holds everything very firmly. If you need a small bag for your F6 that will protect it from weather while you work, and that gives you some options for holding batteries, a couple of remote microphone receivers, and has a couple of different attachment points that you can use to strap it to your rig rather than just having it hang from the shoulder strap they give you, this might be the one for you.

If I attach two wireless recievers into the tabs ...

If I attach two wireless recievers into the tabs in the front pocket, will the antenna stick out? If it will, can I tuck the antenna into the main bag and zip the pocket closed?
Asked by: H
Yes, the antennas will stick out, but you can zip and unzip the sides to hold secure. I haven't had any problems with holding my wireless receivers. I put one in the front and one in the back, but that's about all will fit due to its small stature. Compact carrying case, but doesn't hold much. Built very strong for great protection of your gear.

What are the two Velcro straps on the top edges ...

What are the two Velcro straps on the top edges supposed to be for? I've attached the tight little clips to the rails on the F6, but can't see what is the purpose of the 1 inch (2.5cm) wide by 7 inch (18cm) velcro strips.
Asked by: Colin
The Velcro straps are included to secure a mixer inside the of the bag. The bag is designed to hold other mixers that are the same size as the Zoom F6 and would need to be secured from the top using the Velcro straps. You could use the straps for any other purposes since they are not needed to hold the F6.

would it be possible to mount the orca bag, with the zoom f6 inside + attached npf battery to a c stand? using something like a gyrovu clamp + some other attachment? Looking to avoid leaving the orca bag/f6 on the floor as a one man band operator, and would be extremely handy to have the orca bag and zoom f6 at eye level
Asked by: Kevin
It may be possible to mount the ORCA OR-268 Low-Profile Audio Mixer Bag for Zoom F6 to a stand with a clamp as described. A more preferable solution could be found in a shelf accessory such as the Gator Frameworks Small Microphone-Stand Accessory Shelf (9 x 9") (BH #GAWSHELF0909), which has a 10 pound weight capacity and is also available in a larger size: https://bhpho.to/3Gw1dc7
