[0.18 lb] Simple. Compact. Solid. I like it.

[0.18 lb] This vest is perfect for videographers, photographers, and even audio technicians who need to transport a lot of equipment on the go without a bag. Let me make this clear: there are a TON of pockets that exist on all parts of the vest, including the inside. The massive front pockets can easily store spare battery packs, camera lenses, and recording devices, while the smaller ones on top can hold memory cards, mobile phones, adapters, and etc. As evident by product pictures, there is also a giant pocket in the back which can hold long cables and even your lunch! The advantage of using this vest for occasions such as hikes is that you can avoid the back strain due to a heavy backpack. If you carry a lot of trinkets during your job and like to be spatially aware of where you store them, this vest is perfect for you.Aside from the technical uses, this vest is incredibly durable and stylish (even more so than from the product images). Porta Brace is known for its high quality bags and this vest is no exception because it feels sturdy like kevlar and will support moderately heavy equipment without stress. Furthermore, it looks very professional even for a job at a wedding because you can show off your business cards in the front pocket and it contrasts a white dress shirt well.Overall, this product is a huge step up from having to use bags or backpacks to carry equipment and can really help in turning a 2 man job to a 1 man job. With all your equipment within arm's reach, capturing those perfect videos or photographs will be much easier! The bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend this product!

[2.5 oz / 70 g] This vest makes all the difference when running as a one man sound department. Amazing weight distribution over the entire torso, as opposed to running a bag on a strap

[2.5 oz / 70 g] Fits like a glove. Will fit other similar size mixers. I like the the side panels help transfer some of the weight of mixer to my hips.

[2.5 oz / 70 g] This holder does a great job of holing a boom pole in place. Well made a well designed

[2.5 oz / 70 g] Well built, easy to use and won't scratch boom pole.

[0.18 lb] Replaced all but the camera bag itself. If i could fit my camera and tripod I would be an even happier chappy!

[0.18 lb] It's perfect for my Rode Carbon Boompole ! Hand free our attach the holder on tuning or other lment

[0.18 lb] Dude, this thing is amazing, it allows me to have all my equipment for a one man band sound guy, without having to place anything on the ground. Even how it distributes the weight, now it feels more even on my shoulders, then my lower back when using a harness with a sound bag. The zipper noise doesn't bother me, you shouldn't be playing with them during takes anyways. Only thing like another review said, is that you should be able to detach the mixer holder from the harness, but other than that I love this thing.

[2.5 oz / 70 g] First of all, this is a working vest made out of Cordura. Other vests for sale are very stylish and the pockets are all nice and flat (cause there is nothing in them) and you can wear it out to dinner and tell great stories and have the look. This vest is like having your 'kit' all ready to go. Use it on ENG as it has everything I need plus huge! front pockets. It even has commercial grade hanging loop on the outer back. It hangs up in the studio or the van - slip it on and I have what I need. Functional is the operative word here - not dinner-wear.
