PortaBrace CAR-2CAM Overview

Styled in black with gray accents, this Cargo Case Camera Edition from Porta Brace holds an assembled pro video camera measuring up to 16.5" long in its 9"-tall main compartment. It can also be used to carry a full DSLR camera kit. This bag has two exterior padded side pockets, two exterior flat zippered pockets, and two interior slip pockets for storing additional gear.

Use the included padded Camera Cradle to protect your DSLR, mirrorless, or camcorder in the case. A Camcorder Cinch strap enables you to tie down your camera in the case, preventing it from bouncing while in motion. A detachable divider, a removable microphone pocket, a 4" lens cup, and a PB-B9 stuff sack are also included with the Cargo Case. A semirigid interior foam core provides soft protective padding for your gear.

Constructed with a 1000D Cordura nylon exterior, the case's skid-resistant waterproof bottom enables you to set it down outside without fear of getting the contents wet. Cargo case features include reverse zippers that are sewn-in upside down for added durability. The zipper pulls are moved back to the top and function normally. Carry this made-in-the-USA bag using the removable shoulder strap or the suede-grip top handles.

PortaBrace CAR-2CAM Reviews

Great field bag for FX6 or similar

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-19

I think the short version would be you get what you pay for. This bag is build like a tank and is thoughtfully laid out. I typically use the Shape camera bag for travel shoots, but it's huge and really heavy, so I bought this as an alternative when I don't want to schlep as much stuff. It's the perfect size for my FS5mkII or FX6 with enough interior space for a matte box and audio kit. The canvas and zippers are nice and heavy and feel like they'll last forever. The included accessories are a nice touch. There's a couple padded pouches (one of which is the perfect size for a shotgun mic) and a small lens pouch with a clear top, which works great for spare cables. They also throw in a spare white balance card and a velcro divider for the main compartment.

Perfect fit

I have a medium format dslr and this is just perfect Room for the camera and 2 additional lenses plus a little extra space Has a small flashlight real , nice strap , Very comfortable handles ,

No quality issues. Smaller than it looks in the pictures.

Very nice, as usual, for Porta Brace. I have several and love them dearly. But, it was hard to imagine the size of this piece from the pictures and reviews. I suppose the better way to have judged this was to take out a yard stick and see the size that way, which i did not do. Should have. Once received, it was noticeably smaller than it appeared in the description images, so that size factor limited my use considerably. It did not arrive in a Porta Brace box, but wrapped in a plastic bag within the shipping box. I'm not sure yet if i'm keeping it. We'll see if there's a use for it that justifies keeping it instead of returning it, thanks to B&H's generous return policy.

Excellent case for Panasonic UX-180

By Keith
Rated 4 out of 5

This ended up as a perfect bag for the Panasonic UX-180. Excellent quality as has been the case with every PortaBrace product I've owned over the years, and this bag is reasonably priced as well. The camera can fit in the bag with an external mic mount still attached to camera top, and there's good space for batteries, etc. I would not want anything smaller, and anything larger would be more real estate than needed. My only suggestion would be to add some thin, but firm padding to the top flap that zips open for extra protection - this really only cost part of a star, but does keep it from a perfect 5. Highly recommended.

Just what I needed

I bought this bag after watching a Youtube video by DSLRShooter Caleb Pike. This holds my camera rig great!!! It's not bulky like my Pelican case and is stylish. Next is getting my business logo embroidered on the top flap!!

Nothing like a Porta Brace

I've had three different bags and they are all good. Very sturdy and lightweight too.

Serves my needs

By Morgan

I frequently need to carry just my Canon R3 with RF 100-500mm lens and bought this bag to replace a slightly too small 30 year old bag that I originally bought for a small video camera. The PortaBrace is well made and allows some extras because it's generous in size for my rig. I'm giving 4 stars because I would have preferred the zippered flap to fold over the side rather than the end of the bag.

The Strap Breaks And Puts Your Gear At Risk!

By Travis

The 2nd time using this bag, the plastic on the shoulder strap snapped and my camera crashed to the concrete. To make matters worse, I'm unable to return the bag to B&H because I failed to keep the original packaging it came in. Very disappointed I'm not able to return a defective product. I recommend looking for a different bag.

What is the difference between the all-black and black with grey accents colours? On the images, they look much the same? How do these colours compare with the CAR-3CAM Cargo Case in black which I already have?

The Portabrace Black CAR-2CAM case is completely black with Black interior, black handle, Black logo. The Gray model would have a Gray interior, Grey handle and Gray logo.

question

Can Sony HXR-MC2500 fit in this bag?
Asked by: Alfred G.
Sorry, but we feel this bag would not be big enough for the Sony HXR-MC2500. You shoulder consider a bag like the ORCA Shoulder Video Bag (OR-12), the Manfrotto PL-CC-197 Pro Light Video Camera Case (Black) B&H # MAMBPLCC197 or the Porta Brace CTC-3 Traveler Camera Case (Black) B&H # POCTC3B. There are more bag suggestions on the camcorders's webpage under the Accessories tab.

question

Does anyone know if Sony FS7 will fit this bag (with or without viewfinder/mattbox/lenses on)? And how much room would there be for batteries and lenses?
Asked by: Leo
When it comes to virtually fitting gear to cases, it is a matter of educated guess. The more precise method is to measure the gear while laid out on flat surface. That being said, with the Porta Brace Cargo Case Camera Edition you should be able to carry a disassembled FS7 and probably the batteries and lens without issue. You might also consider the Porta Brace RIG-FS7XT Camera Case and Interior Kit for Sony PXW-FS7 Camera. It is specifically designed with the FS7 in mind. It is much bigger and we know it to fit the camera assembled. While it is more expensive, it is not so much when compared to the cost of the camera and the long term convenience of working out of it for the next few years.
