Does any know of a very small backpack for the z1u?
Just to fit the z1u and batterys inside.
Thanks Frank

Frank,

I use a LowePro Dry Zone 200. As I travel to some extreme places it is very useful as it is completely waterproof and also floats! THe Z1 just squeezes in with a few batteries and the Century 0.6X Wide angle.

The backpack looks good, review said it is heavy.

One dealer said to use the Kata hb 207 backpack.

there is an israelian company making a good backpack
the brand is "Petrol", and the model is PMCK-1

I have an FX1 and have been amazingly happy with my petrol bag (PMCK-1)

Its the perfect size and doesnt have anything stupid like HDV or SONY or ROB ME written on the side of it, just looks like you are going for a hike :)

I really cannot recommend this bag enough, its a winner

The Kata Panda fits in the overhead compartment of an airliner and will hold Z1u, filters, matte box, tapes, and a MacBook.

Will the petrol bag (PMCK-1) fit batterys and a wide lens too ? what about overhead on a plane?
Thanks
Frank
