The PortaBrace ATV-NOVA Tactical Vest for Zaxcom Nova Recorderprovides ENG and fast-paced reality mixers with an innovative solution for moving much more rapidly and freely in the field when carrying an audio bag with a Zaxcom Nova recorder housed in it.

The ATV combines an audio harness and an audio bag into one cohesive military-style tactical vest. The formfitting design grips your body to provide support, weight distribution, and comfort. It also stabilizes your equipment close to your body, even when you are on the move. The vest is adjustable and accommodates different waist sizes.

The bag is large enough to create a lightweight and compact audio rig. In addition to the recorder, it accommodates a dual-wireless receiver and an NP1 battery. The ATV comes with a double vinyl rain cover that opens and acts as a pouch. It also includes a removable storage pouch for your accessories, which can attach to either the front or back. The vest's modular design enables you to add additional storage if needed.

One of the most distinctive features of the ATV is a boompole clip on the front of the harness. The clip lets you fasten your boompole to the vest, freeing your hands between takes. It also releases quickly so you can resume recording without missing an important piece of dialog. The iPad sleeve allows you to safely carry your iPad on your chest, where it can be easily read.
