Purchased this soft case for my Sony FS7 based on the internal demensions. It fits perfect! The zacuto base plate adapter and 15mm rods with the viewfinder fits as well. Really pleased

Worth the Money

We purchased two CTC-3's and soon a third for our new Panasonic AG AC 160's. There is plenty of storage for all of the extra equipment. It fits our cameras even with the Anton Bauer ELIPZ 10K 75wh LITHIUM ION BATTERY, Anton Bauer ON CAMERA LED LIGHT 4.5w, ANELEDZ Anton Bauer BASE w/ADJUSTABLE ARM, ANHUBZ Audio-Technica AT875R 7 SHORT CONDENSER SHOTGUN MIC - AUAT875R attached to the camera. How can you go wrong with a Porta Brance? It's worth the money!

question

Is this bag good for the SONY FS7? If not, what is a good recommended bag?
Asked by: Nick C.
It depends what you're planning on doing with the camera really. I do own the case and it is set up specifically for shoulder mounts. I have a Panasonic ag-hmc-80 in it. I use that camera for ENG work so I needed a very fast running and gun case. It works well but has very limited storage for any accessories such as batteries, microphones, or on camera lighting. If you're looking for a run and gun case and or not planning on taking a lot of accessories if It works great. (I have not tried it with a Sony FS7) I will try and load up the consumer photo of the case with my camera sitting in it and you can try and size it up from there. For documentary work I use the Sony FS700 with the pelican 1560 case. The case is fantastic you can even carry a laptop with the included lid organizer. Sorry I could not be more help.

question

Will it fit a Sony FS7 with Handle/Mic/Viewfinder/Sony Lens 28-135mm/Base Plate?
Asked by: Manuel
I would think so, the FS7 is pretty small so you should have tons of room in there.
