Best Production Gear Bag for the money?

[Jon Furtado]

I've been using the Husky tool bags from Home Depot for all my Misc. camera gear. But I can't help but feel there's a better bag out there. What does everyone else use for their production gear bags? I have my camera case, (Pelican) but I need a large heavy canvas bag to stuff misc. camera gear in that doesn't cost a fortune.

Any suggestions?

Define "a fortune"?

Cinebags has some nice stuff, but like you I have a few of the bags you mention for things like gel frames, electric, audio cables and such.

I have bags and boxes from Pelican, Kata, Petrol, and Portabrace. Day in and out, I think I like the Petrol stuff the best for quality versus value. But I have a lot of hardware store bags as well which are usually less expensive and can fill the need as well. What is more important is to identify what you need to store and then look for the best solution to solve the problem. As your kit grows, you can tie up thousands in luggage to protect expensive equipment....it is a cost that really needs to be factored into any equipment budget.
