2x XH-A1 in Petrol bag

Oleg was kind enough to hook me up with a discounted Petrol PDB-1N bag (http://www.petrolbags.com/products/C...DB-1/PDB-1.htm )

I measured it up as being perfect to hold two XH-A1 cams, one with WD-H72 wide angle attached, as well as a bunch of accessories/cables, Senn wireless in internal pocket, etc ... One cam has a senn mkh-416 mounted in mic holder, senn receiver in shoe. XLR cables have to be unplugged from the A1 for it to fit nicely in the bag- I'm going to solder some cables with angled XLR to stay flatter and get around this. I have a 10m XLR cable in one of the outside side pockets.

Definitely didn't disappoint, fantastic bag.

I have the centre divider placed slightly diagonally, which fits the lens hoods perfectly (even the big hood on the WD-H72)

Hope this is useful for anyone with similar needs,

Kris

That bag is cool, but I'm really just jealous that you have 2 A1's...

Kris,

Curious to know.

Do the dimensions allow this to work as a carry on?

In all events, looks like a great set up.

Best,

Whit
