The black Custom Fitted Shoulder Case from Porta Brace is designed to protect the Sony PXW-X400 XDCAM camcorder from bumps, abrasion, and scratches. The exterior is laminated with 1000-denier Cordura nylon and complemented by a soft nylon interior with a moisture-resistant foam layer between them. The case features vinyl windows, for reading the dials, and a touch-fastened flap for quick access to the battery. Hide-away doors cover the controls and also protect them from the elements.

The case comes with a built-in waterproof rain-top with a separate pocket for storage. It covers the entire top of the camera, including the lens, and provides protection against rain, sleet, and snow as well as corrosive atmospheres such as sea or air.

Q: 6. Porta Brace has put out a few different types of bags for the FS7. Im not sure what the difference is between the Porta Brace RIG-FS7 Top Opening Rigid Case for Sony FS7 and the Porta Brace RIG-FS7XT Carrying Case with Kit for Sony FS7.Do both of these bags have wheels on the bottom?Are they both small enough to be carry-ons on a plane?

A: The RIG-FS7XT is a wider bag that allows the FS7 to be carried with grip and viewfinder attached albeit compressed. This allows you to pull the camera out of the bag and be shooting in moments. However, this comes at the cost of carry-on size. Since the bag's exterior dimensions's of 21.3 x 15.0 x 16.0 (54.0 x 38.1 x 40.6) cm are greater than the carry-on size of 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), or the combined length, width and height, (including any handles and wheels) exceeds 45 linear inches (or 114 cm), it cannot be taken by you onto the aircraft.The RIG-FS7, on the other hand, is 21.5 x 10.0 x 12.0 (54.6 x 25.4 x 30.5 cm) and easily fits carry-on requirements. However, this means the case is much narrower and you must remove the right hand grip and the viewfinder before putting the camera in it.

Q: 7. When it says a "fully assembled" fx9 will fit, does that mean including the XDCA extension unit?

A: Yes, the "fully assembled," Sony PXW-FX9 XDCAM 6K Full-Frame Camera System with XDCA and Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Full-Frame Power Zoom Len can be attached and fit into the PortaBrace Quick-Draw Camera Case for Sony PXW-FX9 (Black).

Q: 8. Can this camera be equipped with studio zoom & focus controls?

A: The lens has built in zoom motor. The camera comes with a manual or an auto focus. Separate tripod pan handle mounted zoom and focus controls are available. The actual controls are dependent on the lens model. If you have further questions, please write us. provideo@bhphoto.com.

Q: 9. Can I take this on a plane as a carry on?

A: No way. This case is HUGE. I actually returned it for that reason. Got a smaller Sachtler case instead.

Q: 10. is this case carry-on approved?

A: The basic rule for carry on is Baggage may not exceed 45 linear inches (or 114 cm) in combined length, width and height, including any handles and wheels. The combined dimensions for this bag is 51.5 thus excluding it from carry on. Most likely the course you should take is look at backpacks suitable for your camera in the Accessories tab on the camera's B&H site. Also check with each airline before buying tickets.
