Best camera bag for AF100?

[wpd108]

I'm in the market for a good carrying case for my AF100. I want to be able to stow the camera while still on the rods support... also want some room for a few lenses. I'm looking at the KATA 61 PL, or a Petrol PC103.... Anyone got any suggestions for the best fit? Ideally it would be something I could carry on the airplane, too. But that's not absolutely critical. Budget under $400 if possible.

Not sure if it's "best," but for me it's been "good enough":

Used it for a Z1U prior. It's got plenty of room with the AF100 with mic, etc in place and a bunch of extras - lenses, batts, cables, scripts, clips, pens, slate, small light, everything's easy to find, and it's still of carry-on friendly size.

This is what I use right now. Plenty of extra space in there for batteries, lenses and the like. This bag was definitely designed for bigger cameras, but I use Olof's shoulder mount, nano bracket and record handle and I don't want to have to remove them from my camera, every time I put it away http://www.petrolbags.com/Camera-Shoulder-Bags?q=node/1161

for what it's worth, i purchased a couple of the cinebags camera daddy CB-30 bags. i use one to house my two af100's, reference monitor, batteries for everything, wireless mic, lav mics, chargers, memory, lens adapters, rails, base plate, and tons of misc. stuff.

one basically holds everything but my lenses. obviously the other is full of lenses and mattebox setup.

these bags are build like a tank and have dividers that can be configured in anyway.

good luck!

I recant my recommendation - that CB-30 seems roomier and beefier

For ease of carrying and airport trips, I like the ThinkTank bags. While they are designed more for still cameras, an af100, extra batteries, and more fit. When traveling light, I can fit a couple lenses in the bag as well. Surprisingly light! ThinkTank has a wide variety of bags, but I went with the Airport Ultralight because it is supposed to fit inside of a pelican 1510 case (I have yet to test): http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/airport-ultralight-backpack.aspx

KATA OMB 77 is fantastic!
AF100 on rails/support, room for lenses, laptop, utilities and has roller cart wheels…no brainer. Very happy with this.

If your looking for a backpack style solution, I will be having a video review of the Genus GL-GEN1000 shooter backpack up in the next few weeks. I have that backpack and it's really great for mobile shooting.
