Petrol Bags, a company known for it's innovation in the audio bag sector has been bought by a bigger fish in the film accessories game and have been re-branded to suit. Petrol bags are now Sachtler branded and built. They now have a classy black and red colour scheme and what feels like a better price point. So I bought one for my new revised location recording rig (rather than trying to shoehorn everything in to an old Portabrace, which was built for my SQN and not much else!).
I spent most of a morning fitting out my new Sachtler SN601 "Eargonizer" audio bag. For a fairly modest sized bag I was pleasantly surprised to squeeze in so much kit. I've paired the bag with the SN605 Heavy Duty Harness to reduce the strain of 8.5kg (!!) across my back.
