Producion Bag Suggestion for HVX200?

[LighthouseMedia]

Okay,
I need a soft case that is duarable enough for productions on the road but it needs to be big enough to hold a HVX200 with Chrosziel Matte box and follow focus on the camera.
The more pockets the better...Any ideas or feedback, I really prefer something that isn't a hard case like a Pelican or Stormcase, I have a bunch of those for other gear but really want something else for my camera, ideas? Is there backpack case that will hold a rig that size? I get tired of tearing everything down on every shoot.

I'd be very weary of putting an HVX in a backpack case with a mattebox and FF attached. However for a soft carry case that will suffice try the 16x9 case.

Okay so backpack is out, no problem...
Wow, I really like the 16x9 looks very nice but is there one with a few more pockets to store other accessories, batteries etc... in or am I just not seeing the pockets and storage on this case?

There is a whole back section that is seperate from where the camera/mattebox goes. It is also divided into smaller sections for batteries etc.

Excellent...
Anyone speak to the CineBag cases this model:

The dimensions look to fit a HVX with matte box and follow focus but does anyone here know for sure it looks as though the pockets inside may block it some.

I like Kata, I think they are the smartest bags.

Lighthouse,
I have the cinebag and it nice - but I can not get the top to close when the matte box is on the camera.
I have the zacuto plate and you have to raise the plate in order to get the matte box to fit on the lens.
So, the end result is: the camera sits too high in the bag.

Can anyone make a comparison from personal experience between the Kata bag and the 16x9 bag?

I want to have my HVX with Geardear mattebox/rails ready to go in the back seat/trunk, and these bags seem the way to go.

Also, which Kata bag would be the best choice for an HVX/large mattebox?

I was also considering one of Porta Brace's Quick-Draw bags, like:

Thoughts?

I would up going with the 16x9 and really like it. If you are using a matte box much bigger than the Chroziel I would recommend getting the larger 16x9 bag.

I have the Kata bag and it's a tight fit I cant imagine the mattebox fitting in it as well. I have one of the cinebags and would highly recomend it. the pockets inside can be rearanged to fit your needs.
