Does anyone knows a good backpack for the Alexa with some basic accessories ?.   I mean a couple of AB batteries, a short zoom, handgrips, onboard monitor, WFU...

Thanks

A hiker camping style backpack will be big enough. You will have to add your own custom
padding inside. However, if you have your battery(s) and mixer in your backpack with extended
length cable connections to your Alexa, you'll be able to have a lighter rig for handheld.

Hi Rob, I have a nice backpack for the Optimo 24-290 that might do the job.   I´m getting better at cutting foam with a hot knife, so I´d need to cut the foam for the Alexa proportions and its accessories in order to work.   This would also work as a backpack to fly the camera on board.   What I like about the lens/camera dedicated backpacks is that they have interior cushion on all its sides, so you just need to shape the inner foam.
