[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] used in film/video production. perfect fit for F-8

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] This thing really fits like a glove. Intelligently designed for protection and access to inputs, dials, and screen with superb build quality. Highly recommended.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] to protect my new Zoom H5. It certainly does that. Makes the whole system bulky, but that is expected. The bottom part of the case is there to deal with XLR cable connectors - but if nothing is plugged into the bottom of the H5, then that bottom part of the case can be used to store small accessories or extra batteries, memory cards, etc.The belt-mount is a nice touch, no access to the 1/4x20 mount on the back of the H5. As with all Porta Brace gear, all the seams are strong, the product quality is great and the hook/loop implementation is robust.Used to record audio at an outdoor horse ring. The rings are watered, but there is still some doubt. This case provides great protection from the dust. Use the foam windscreen that came with the H5 or the fuzzy that came with the H5 accessory pack.Made in USA!!!

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] Great price to protect a $7,000+ camera! For those who have to film in the rain (Doc, ENG and Event work) this is a must have to protect your gear. Little hard to get to the buttons but that is to be expected with any camera cover.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] It was a little confusing at first, as far as the many different ways you could use compartments to configure, which was suprising given how straight forward it seemed. Super versatile. I loved it on set. Made my life very very easy when used with the remote.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] Small and light for location work has all the essentials. My F8 is a perfect fit, room for a couple of wireless mics. Pretty easy to connect cables and the zipper bottom has been handy for changing batteries oh, and the price is right!

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] They are expensive but it's a good case. Super quality, well thought out and functional. It's easy to access all the controls and the quick access to the gains for the channels is super convenient. I didn't want to spend so much on a case for a cheaper recorder but it was necessary and I'm glad I did.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] Used it under heavy snow, protects the camera well. I would recommend.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] Porta-Brace produces are first rate, and the Zoom F8 bag is no exception. There may be better choices, depending on your application. The Z8 case is ideal if you have multiple wireless mics in the side pocket, and need a shoulder-ready, run-and-gun kit. There are sleeves on each side with access to the XLR ports, but it takes a flashlight and steady hand to connect wired mics. There is no tight cover, per se, but a flexible, clear dome protects the contents from drips, while allowing access to the controls. In my case, I found a Porta-Brace CAR-1 or CAR-2 is a better fit. The CAR cases come with a long partition and several lateral partitions. The Zoom F7 can go in one section, and be protected with headphones, microphones and a power supply in other sections. Everything is readily accessible through a zippered top flap.

[2.6 lb / 1.2 kg] I had read a review that the case was too small for the Mixer.
I had contacted Portabrace regarding this issue, and they informed me that the case had in fact been redesigned to address concerns about the original design.


Since receiving the case and putting it to use in the field I would say Im very satisfied with the final product.
