Customer Review: Perfect for the DVX100B and cameras in that size/weight range
It suits my needs perfectly. I store the shotgun mike in the outside pocket. I put my extra battery and tapes in one corner pocket and the lav mikes in the other. The rest of the minor stuff (charger etc) fits perfectly in the large side pocket. The camera is perfectly stable and held down by a strap. The packaging all round is sturdy foam. If you're thinking of carrying this for regular shoots with your tripod et all, it's a good idea to buy this but if you're hiking or wandering through and just want to pull your camera out for shooting on the run, you're better off purchasing a backpack case. KATA has some pretty good options in that area as well. For long term storage of your equipment, buy a steel case - the Panasonic one that's specially moulded for your DVX100B.
Customer Review: Good Quality Buy!
Well I just got this bag for my Panasonic ag-dvx100b and it works great! I will say straight away however I have only had this for a few days, but from what I've seen, it works amazingly. The bag's corners are very rigid to protect it from even moderate hits and the material the outside walls are made of seem very durable. The inside is a nice yellow padding felt like fabric with three dividers. two horizontal shorter ones, and a long one that runs the whole length of the bag. The strap is large and very comfortable, spreading the weight of a possibly heavy camera. All in all this bag looks like it will protect your equipment from certain degrees of pain. It is no metal case, so don't sit on it or toss it, yet for what you pay it will give you a very nice sense of security with easy access and comfort.
