Hi Robert - congrats on your new edition to the family!
I modified my old VX2000 case (ripped out the foam surrounds) to make room for the Z7. Works nicely for me. Not for everyone. Amazon.com: Sony LCH-FXA Camcorder Carrying Hard Case for DCRVX2100, HDRFX1 & HDRFX7: Camera & Photo Or search for LCH-FXA on EBay and there are a few ones cheaper there with photos of the interior setup. Heaps of room under the camera "tray" to hold batteries, MRU, wireless mics etc |

I like my hard shell pelican 1560 case.
I'll be waiting to hear what you think of the Kata 207. I need something for wilderness shoots. |

The Kata 192 looks like a perfect fit for the camera dimension wise:
Kata | CC-192 GDC HDV Case | KT CC-192 | B&H Photo Video We rented an A1 (awwwww) and it came in one of these and the first thing we said was "we're getting one of these easy to carry cases" :o) |

Z7 backpack options
I've been doing a bit of research lately looking for a bag to hold my Z7 which can double as a backpack for rugged location shooting and ideally can hold accessories and a laptop computer. My top contenders ended up being:
Cinebags CB-25 ($175 at B&H). Or the older CB-22 (slightly smaller and less expensive). Small enough for airline carry-on. Petrol PCBP-3N ($270 at B&H). Larger than the Cinebags. Carry-on status unclear. Petrol PCTB-3 ($270 at B&H). Heavier, built-in wheels and trolley. Also uncertain carry-on status. For more info, but the model numbers in to the B&H site search box, or go to the Cinebags or Petrol sites. - Tom Valens Tamalpais Productions |

I ended up purchasing the Kata 207 backpack.Camera fits perfectly because i use as rhode mic. it is longer then the standed mic the Z7 comes with and fits just right. Heaps of room for batteries, charger, tapes, light, wireless mics plus it has extra storage around the outside of the bag.
It is a large backpack but very comfortable. Rob |
