Petrol Bags

The PS601 is a small Eargonizer, most suited to the Sound Devices SD-402 or SD-552 systems with, we would say, up to five channels of radio mics.

Suitable for the following mixers:

The PS602 is a larger bag more suited to a mixer/recorder combo setup. Ideal we would imagine for a Sound Devices SD-552/SD-788 combination.

With the four expandable wireless pockets sprouting from the sides of this bag you could get away with carrying up to 7 receivers with this setup, not sure you would want to carry that much gear though?

Suitable for the following mixers:

This is the daddy of the Petrol range of mixer bags... it is huge!

This will take pretty much anything. A SQN, Sound Devices 552 / 744 or 788, they claim that it will carry a mixer and up to 10 transmitters or receivers. You would need a strong back to carry all that gear!

All the same, this is a popular bag, and we have sold quite a few of them already. We didn't expect them to be so popular!
Inside view of the bag...

This is the smallest of the Petrol range of sound bags. Idealy suited for the Sound Devices MixPre-D, the SD-302 or a Sound Devices 7-Series recorder on its own.

We think this new bag from Petrol will prove to be quite popular.

It is designed to take the Sound Devices 788 with the CL8, the Sound Devices 552 or even the Nomad comfortably, allowing access to the sides, bottom or even in the case of the Nomad, the top of the mixer/recorder.

This is what Petrol say about this bag:

"Petrol Bags' new ultra-lightweight professional audio bag is optimally designed to transport sound equipment comfortably and securely, and keep it safe, organized, and accessible while working. Weighing just 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs), the bag's roomy interior can easily accommodate a SD 788 mixer with CL8 controller attached and is fully padded to safeguard contents. Removable internal dividers offer custom configuration. There is free access to all mixer panels – side, back and top. A transparent top window allows easy viewing of controls. Drawstring openings on both sides offer full access for connector cables to devices in the bag's front and rear compartments. Additional features include multiple storage pouches for an NP1 batteries, cassettes, connectors, etc., an external front accessories pocket, two expandable snap-on pouches to hold transmitters or wireless receivers."

The ideal system for comfortably carrying audio bags weighing up to 88 lbs. (40 kg).

This is the new Petrol Soundman Poncho. It covers not just you, but the kit as well.

It is really light weight and rolls up neatly into its own bag. Again, popular with our chaps who work a lot in Wales, I wonder why?

Be the start of a new breed of odd-looking pregnant sound recordists roaming the country in search of the perfect recording. (But at least you will be confortable and dry!)

This is what Petrol say in their blurb:

"Petrol Bags’ new Deca Sound Man Rain Poncho (#PS606) is the ultimate weather protection for the working sound person. The Poncho is sized to comfortably cover a user carrying a mixer and fully loaded eargonizer bag. Its front section is made of transparent polyurethane for maximum visibility of working equipment. Slotted “pass-through” hand openings on either side provide quick and easy access to controls. Long roomy sleeves provide the freedom of motion to hold a boom pole or other gear at arm’s length and still keep the mixer and equipment bag safe and dry. Seams are stitched, then sealed and reinforced with a durable polyurethane cover. When not in use, the Poncho fits into a handy drawstring net mesh pouch for easy storage and transportation. Construction is of waterproof, breathable black fabric. A “tile-style” opening on the back is designed to let fresh air flow inside and keep things cool."

Fits on the rear of camera to house wireless receivers and transmitters. The pockets link together "piggyback style" via easy-to-use quick-lock mechanism. Anchors securely to camera via hook and loop fabric-backed mounting plate or with screws

This ingenious removable lighting system illuminates the interior of any Petrol Black Deca equipment bag, making contents that much easier to identify and organize. The LED lights are replaceable and easily installed on or removed from the bag by hook and loop material. Power is supplied by 2 standard AA batteries (not included).
