Re: what camera bag?
Try the Vidpro 80. It's great size for carry on luggage. The camera fits perfectly with plenty of room for batteries, tapes, cables, manuals etc....the side compartment is perfect size for a shotgun mike. You can find them at many websites for about $25-$30.

Re: what camera bag?
I just bought the KATA Panda and am very happy with it. It is a backpack/should bag and holds the DVX in a top compartment and the accessories in a bottom compartment. It says that the bottom compartment is also made for a laptop, though I don't know about a 17 inch one. It is a great bag though and will carry on to a plane. It is about $177 at EVS.

Re: what camera bag?
Hi all, newbie here.
I'd also like to know what Pelican cases are a good size for the DVX plus a few accesories (shotgun mic, adapter lens, batt, tape, etc).
The Pelican 1550 is the smallest I'd go for (19 x 14 x 7.8" inside) but I'm wondering if I'll want/need the 1600 (21.7 x 16.7 x 7.9"). It's hard to know without having it in front of me.

Re: what camera bag?
I have the Pelican 1520. It has the velcro dividers to configure it your way, which is a bit of a pain in the ass.
I know its smaller than the 1550, but thats why I got it.
I liked its compactness. Barry, on the back pack you have, did you ever use the tripod holder? If so how big of a tripod can it accomodate? And does carrying a tripod make it like weird to carry weight wise? Just curious because I could use something like that to take trains into the city with my gear.

Re: what camera bag?
David--I'll see if I can take a photo for you.
PFP--Yes, I do use the tripod holder on the Mini-Trekker. It's not going to hold a massive pod, but I have some nice Gitzo 1228 carbon fiber legs for travel that fit perfectly and don't weigh that much. There are some very nice small legs out there in both CF and aluminum. The weight is balanced nicely, but you do have to remove the tripod to access the pack. With a full pack and a pod, it's not light, but you can walk around all day and have your hands free. Without the pod attached it looks like an urban daypack--which is nice for keeping a low profile.

Re: what camera bag?
I actually bought a pelican 2 weeks ago cause I was planning on shooting a a commercial in the water, and thought maybe it would be better than the Cinebag I use. Well, that pelican lasted about a day, Its back in the cinebag now because I got somuch crap around my camera I got tired of taking it all off just to put it away.
