Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. It states this can accommodate L series sled option. Will it actually fit with 1 or t2 np batteries in sled while using the Mixpre-6?

A: Yes it does. I just picked up the L-series sled and two Watson NP-F770 batteries (4400mHa) and have them installed on the Mixpre-6 in the Strut case. It's hard to tell from the picture, but there is a slot in the bottom of the case through which the sled protrudes, allowing you to install / swap batteries, and two velcro flaps that wrap around the whole assembly. The flaps are long enough that they would easily wrap around two of the biggest L-series batteries (7800 mHa). The batteries recess quite a bit into the sled, so they don't stick out as much as I expected . . . and actually allow you to stand the mixer up on a flat surface which is a nice happy accident.

Q: 2. Does this fit a Sound Devices 702?

A: This bag can accommodate the Sound Devices 702 recorder.

Q: 3. What are the exterior dimensions?

A: The exterior dimensions of the ORCA OR-272 -- Length: 10.2” Width: 5.5” Height: 7.8”

Q: 4. Do you have to use two batteries at once or can you use one? Also, what's the estimated run time with phantom for the smaller (2900mh) and medium (5000mh) Sony NPF batteries? Thanks.

A: You only need one battery. I use two just because it seems a bit less awkward to handle. Two of the smaller batteries will run the recorder and a couple of mics all day long.

Q: 5. Can this bag fit with mixpre 10ii ?

A: Yes, the ORCA OR-272 Sound Bag for Zoom F4 and F8N can be used with the Sound Devices MixPre-10 II Multitrack Field Recorder. The interior dimensions of the OR-272 Sound Bag are 8.66 x 8.27 x 2.16" (220 x 210 x 55 mm) and the dimensions of the MixPre-10 II are 8.1 x 6.9 x 1.4" (206 x 175 x 36 mm).

Q: 6. Will this work with a Sound Devices 302?

A: This bag is made specifically for the Sound Devices Mix Pre 3, which is smaller than the 302. The Porta Brace Silent Audio Organizer Case for Field Recorders, B&H # POAO15SILENT would be a great option.

Q: 7. Can his fit the Tascam dr-70d?

A: Dimensions for the Tascam DR-70D Field Recorder are 6.7 x 4.2 x 2.2" (169 x 106.5 x 55.2 mm) with the top adapter attached and the interior dimensions of the ORCA OR-272 Sound Bag for Zoom F4 and F8N are 8.66 x 8.27 x 2.16" (220 x 210 x 55 mm). It looks like the thickness of the case interior is going to be too tight and the recorder will also be sitting low inside of the case. If you remove the top adapter from the DR-70D, then it will fit better, but still be sitting low. A better option for a case would be the ORCA OR-28 Mini Audio Bag for ZOOM F8, Zaxcom Max, Tascam DR70 & Other Recorders (B&H # OROR28), the ORCA OR-27 Small Sound Bag (B&H # OR27), or the PortaBrace Custom Case for Tascam DR-70D Audio Recorder (B&H # POARDR70D), which are all designed to fit the DR-70D.

Q: 8. Could you use an h6 in this?

A: The OR-272 is designed for larger field recorders like the Zoom F8n and F4 models, but you could fit the H6 in the front or back pockets along with the larger recorder. If you want a case for the H6 only, We do have other cases that are specifically for the H6, like the Zoom PCH-6 Protective Case for Zoom H6 Handy Recorder (B&H # ZOZPCH6), Auray RP-ZH6 Protective Pouch for Zoom H6 Handy Recorder (B&H # AURPZH6), or Porta Brace AR-ZH6 Case for Zoom H6 Pro Handy Recorder (B&H # POARZH6). You could also use a case like the PRO TEC Deluxe Portable Audio Recorder / Camera Case (B&H # PRPR910) or Gator Cases Micro Recorder Pack (B&H # GAGMICROPACK) to hold the H6 and additional accessories.

Q: 9. I'm trying to use this MX-LMount battery sled on the MixPre-10 II and getting flashing red ring LEDs on all tracks when powering it on, with either a pair of fully charged genuine Sony NP-F970 batteries attached, or a pair of fully charged genuine Sony NP-F570 batteries attached. MixPre-10 II already has L-Mount selected as battery type in the MixPre-10 II's power menu. No other batteries/power sources are connected. I'm using an approved SD card that has been formatted in the MixPre-10 II. Any idea what could be causing this issue?

A: We're glad you were able to resolve the issue.

Q: 10. Will this bag work with the new zoom F6?

A: Yes it will.
