The
previous post was about the Sound Devices 633 mixer and recorder. A lot of
great reviews on this device and a lot of great feedback was given. The
conclusion was the 633 is everything you could want in a compact design, for a
great price. But what do you carry it around in while on production?
Look
no further than the K-Tek Stingray Audio Bag. The Stingray features aluminum internal frame
to protect electronics from exterior force as well as exterior aluminum frame to
help protect the device from impacts. The aluminum interior also keeps the bag
upright and from tipping over due to heavy loads inside.
The
Stingray has sides that unzip completely for easy access to inputs and outputs
with adjustable straps so the device won’t slide around. When K-Tek designed
this bag, they kept the Sound Devices 633 at the forefront of their minds. The
bottom of the bag opens up as well to accommodate extended battery packs and for
access to the device.
The
bag comes with two Velcro pouches for wireless receivers to clip on the device.
Retractable
handles make it easy to carry around while tucking them away keeps them from interfering
with the controls of the device.
The
K-Tek Stingray also hooks up to the K-Tek audio harness to help relieve the
fatigue one feels from mixing or booming all day. Instead of putting pressure
on your neck like most simple audio straps, the harness distributes the weight
to the hips and lower back to keep you comfortable during production.
Search
around for a good price and add this to your locations sound kit as soon as
possible.
You would think that someone would've thought of something like this a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteBrandStakeout, it does help for long shots, as well as long days of shooting. The bag is around $329.00 and the harness may be around $122.00. Prices may vary, but whatever the cost, the comfort is well worth it.
