I wish this bag was just larger.

Porta Brace, makes a case

I brought this Porta Brace case for a Sony HVR Z5U camera. The CS-DV3R is a very nice case, but the camera is somewhat of a snug fit inside. It has compartments on the inside of the case, as well as outer ones for accessories, but the outer ones fit more items. The case is well built and constructed. The carrying strap latches are off centered, but that doesn't makes it awkward to carry. Overall, it is a great case. It's sturdy, well constructed and gives you the peace of mind that your gear will be safe. That's what Porta Brace cases are legendary for.

will the Sony PXW Z190 fit in this case with accessories?
Asked by: richard
This will be a very tight fit for the Z190. Instead I would look at something a bit larger, such as the Arco Video Dr. Bag 30, B&H # ARCSD30B. This bag will be able to handle the Z190 and accessories. https://bhpho.to/2xRoYaa

question

Will the Sony HXR-NX3/1 fit in this case? Thank you?
Asked by: Mario
I bought this bag for my old Sony HDR-FX1, which seems to be about the same dimensions than your cam and it fit perfectly. I have also more than enough place for all my accessories. A good buy !

I am not sure that your camera will fit, but it seems similar to my Panasonic. The case is a good value and very versatile.

Are any dividers included? I see it includes a "cradle" to hold a device, but any dividers? Or is it one large open space?
