Hi

I need a case hard or soft for our XF300.

Does anybody have recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I like my Petrol:
Petrol Deca Dr. Bag 4

The LED interior lighting is nice for those dark reception rooms!

I agree with Tim. We have the same cases and like them a lot.

Have a look at the Kata 197, this can be carried on an aircraft cabin as hand luggage.

Thanks Vincent.

I actually have had a look at the Kata 196 already, but will look at 197 too.

Sorry Ulf I gave you the wrong number, it is the Kata cc193 for the XF camera. I also have the 197 but this is a much bigger bag that is not acceptable as hand luggage.

Thanks :)

Thanks for all the input.
I settled at the Kata CC-196. Not sure if I can take it with me in a plane cabine, but I'm not traveling that much.

I recently sold my Pelican to buy the Lowepro Magnum DV 6500 AW for my EX1, brilliant bag that would definitely fit the XF300 as well. Construction is tops with lots of space for accessories & also rated for travel. My all-time favourite bag.

This Portabrace works well for me: PortaBrace - Product Detail:CS-DV4U

I have a Kata 193 for my old HDV camera. Great bag, but too small for XF300/305. perfect for the XF100 though.
