Options for protective carrying cases and bags for broadcast camera vests
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The soft carry bag supplied with the broadcast vest itself can accommodate the vest with the arm attached when the arm is placed in a separate arm bag, and both fit together in a larger transport bag
- A rigid plastic storage container like the Rubbermaid Action Packer serves as an economical shipping and transport solution for vests
- The RockSteadi vest bag was redesigned to fit larger broadcast vests with the carbon arm still attached, and it features a semi-rigid design that can be mounted on a Magliner cart
- A Pelicase 1620 hard case fits a broadcast vest with adequate protection and includes features like a collapsible handle and rollers for transport
- The newer Genesis version of a broadcast vest model features a front panel that separates completely, making it more compact and easier to pack for travel
- Retrofitting a traditional broadcast vest with a Genesis front door panel provides a better fit across the hips
Depends on
- The original RockSteadi design would not accommodate a broadcast vest without removing the carbon arm
- Discussion references specific brand vests and equipment from around 2004, so current product designs may differ
- The Genesis front door panel fit improvement is mentioned as an observation but no detailed specifications are provided
