PortaBrace CAR-3CAM Reviews

Quality bag

By James
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-09-15

I searched everywhere to find the perfect bag in the size that I required and this one came the closest. I prefer the top opening that provides total access without having to twist and turn to place contents into or to remove from the bag. I stated closest to ideal because I have no need for the side pockets. The bag appears well made and durable. I'm certain it will provide years of use and protection for my gear.

Perfect Bag

Wanted a bag large enough to hold my fully-assembled rig along with a few batteries and extras that was easy and quick to get in and out of. Didn't want a doctor's style bag as their default position is always shut. This was a perfect fit for my Sony F55 with raw drive and long lens. And of course, it has the Porta Brace quality and sharp look. All at a great price.

Will this bag work with Blackmagic 6k G2 with battery grip and Sigma 18-35 f1.8, Sigma 50-100 f1.8 and Tokina 11-16 mm lens?
Asked by: Ramilo
The best way to work would be to stage your equipment as you would like packed in the case. The interior size of the case is 21.8 x 9 x 9". However, yes the case should fit your lenses and camera.
