awesome - and note the price
By NewVidderVerified Purchaser from NJ on 2/28/2008
Pros:
Strong Construction, Well Padded
Best Uses:
Protecting Gear, Transporting Gear
Describe Yourself:
Aspiring Film Maker
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This case is perfect for hand-held video cams and all their accy's. It might be a challenge to get a GL2 in here, but the maker says it's do-able. I put an HV20 and EVERYTHING that goes with it, plus an extension cord ... no problem. The Pick-out foam is easy to work with, just be careful, because there is no going back! BTW - its waterproof and airtight, and it has a switch to lock the air out (and relieve the pressure before opening) ... I don't plan on testing it! Also note that the locking clasps appear to be that "forged plastic" so it's strong, but once broken, not fixable. For the price this product is AMAZING. At a higher price, the product is still worth buying.

 
Keeping my cameras safe

Adjustable fit, Lightweight, Strong Construction, Stylish, Very Protective, Well Padded

Slightly small

Looks professional, Protecting Gear, Transporting Gear
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought two of these cases to protect my Canon 20Ds and lens. The cases make it easy to toss a digital with a couple of lens in with my larger film cameras. The 20Ds fit very nicely and are well protected.[...]

Small
Best Uses:
Transporting Gear
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The case has served me when traveling to locations with moist and dusty condtions, Basically I use it to carry my Canon XH-A1, bateries and a few tapes. The case in this size won't accomodate a matte box and rails plus the camera.

 
Would buy another Porta Bracehard case.
By Scuba diver JuanVerified Purchaser from North Potomac, MD on 5/8/2007
Pros:
Lightweight, Strong Construction, Well Padded
Cons:
Padded cmprtmnts better
Best Uses:
Protecting Gear, Transporting Gear
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For my specific use it would have been better to have velcro padded compartments, for a more versatile case. For few large photo/video equipment, the pick & plug foam would be more than adequate, and does lower the price and makes the case lighter. I'm using my case to carry batteries, chargers, and underwater strobe arms.
