High quality product but don't buy this if you power your mixpre with a L series battery!

MatteoN 27.04.2021

This bag is sturdy and comfortable to use because it is really light and not bulky at all!
So in my opinion no doubt it is a really good tool made with high quality materials, but I want to warn potential buyers about this:
my advice is DON'T BUY IT if you power your mixpre with a L-series type of battery!
The MX-L battery sled will fit perfectly into the bag (it actually keeps the mixpre steadier) but the battery won't, because the bag's width is 51 cm only. I use a SWIT battery which is particularly big (8 cm width) but I think any other battery, even smaller, wouldn't fit inside.
The internal dimensions are indicated so, of course, this was totally my mistake because I didn't pay enough attention when I purchased it. So I ended up returning this and buying a bigger bag, no big deal but I hope this review can be helpful and prevent someone to do the same mistake

Good quality but a little too big for the MixPre-3

ttoommmmiiee 06.03.2020

Over all a good quality product however I found that it is too big for the mixpre-3 and so it is not possible to fasten it tightly in place. Simple solution is to pad it out with some foam but as it was advertised as designed for the MixPre series I was a little disappointed.

Does the job

Got this and the MixPre-6 II for field recording.
It feels very robust, it has an internal rigid frame and a couple of velcro straps suspend the MixPre keeping it secure inside.

Without the front pocket attached it’s sleek enough to feel like a typical satchel bag or would even fit as a large bumbag. The strap could do with more padding.

It’s quiet enough when not being adjusted but; the zippers are smaller rounded type that can’t be opened silently, the velcro is loud with a strong grip, the material could be quieter it has that low ‘O’ (around 500Hz) rustle typical of nylon duffle bags.

All six sides can be open to access. The bottom for battery/SD access and front (for mounting camera) requires decoupling the largest area of velcro so this needs modding with tape if you’re working in quieter environments. The top has a detachable transparent piece that looks okay but the way it’s attached feels a bit of an afterthought. The back hole, for accessing tripod mount point (though I’ve my USB battery in the way there) has no cover which is a shame.

So overall could do with some improvements but I only know of two bags that fit the MixPre and this looks the better of the two.

Very sad it didn't fit.

Classical guitarist 12.10.2020

I have a Sound Devices MixPre-3 but this is made more for the MixPre-6 or 10. It's waaay too big and you have to fill it with a lot of cloths to fill the emptiness to avoid it to scramble around inside this case.
I hope this helps other MixPre-3 owners.

Great for the Zoom F8n Pro

HBP22 12.07.2022

This location sound bag has been put together with real insight into potential practical uses. It isn't cheap for what is a relatively small item, but in my opinion, worth every penny. It's well made and highly configurable for a whole range of sound recording situations. The integrated stand, which I wasn't expecting, has made me very happy indeed - though not a perfect stand, it's an ideal basis for secure tilting. Looking forward to putting it to series use in next month's hectic filming schedule.

Durable, Practical

Peter- 30.03.2024

Two years on from my purchase, it has survived daily use, and shows little signs of wear and tear. Well made, compact, and unobtrusive.
