Carry bag for XL1S, matte box and MA200 at DVinfo.net

Hi everyone,
I just bought a Cavision matte box and a MA200 for my XL1S.

Now, my problem is that my carry bag doesn't fit.
I like to be able to have a bag which can store my camera mounted with the matte box and MA200. Or maybe it is not such a good idea? It would be so much easier because it is a little tricky to assemble and de-assemble the matte box, rods, plates etc.
Thanks
Tom

Kata makes a nice bag that will hold it all and then some. So does Porta Brace. Check 'em out.

Got a Porta Brace bag a couple months ago, I think that it's about perfect. Just enough pokets to separate things, not so many that they get lost. Came w/a red and a blue Sharpies too!

PortaBrace's "bakers' dozen" practice of including something extra with many of their products is fun and clever, isn't it? There's just something about getting some unexpected extra (however small it may be) with a product that just makes you smile.

I don't use a matte box but do use the MA200 with PB's "Quick-Draw" bag. The erar of the bag expands very nicely to accommodate the MA200's extra 'bustle'.
