PortaBrace RB-1 Reviews

PortaBrace never disappoints!

By Phil

PortaBrace has been making the best quality bags and cases since forever - and still made in the USA! First-quality construction and materials, stylish and completely customizable. PortaBrace has always costs more than the cheaply made competition made overseas - but well worth it IMHO. If you're a B&H customer, you can take advantage of considerable sales from time to time on PortaBrace items. This small run bag is just right for jobs when you don't need to bring more than your cameras and some minor auxiliary lighting.

Perfect tool/production bag made with the best materials. Built to last a lifetime. Excellent movable internal dividers for protecting sensitive gear like hard drives & lenses etc. Light, strong and looks great!

Asked by: john
No, the PortaBrace RB-1 Lightweight Run Bag is too small to hold a Sound Devices 833 Snake, multiple XLR cables, a grip head with fishpole holder, and a Sennheiser MKH 416 in its case simultaneously; you would need a larger production or audio bag for all that gear.
