KATA BY TIFFEN CCC-1111 Compact Camcorder Bag

Summary: Underated case for Canon GL2
Review: If you're one of the lucky ones to have a Canon GL2 camera, you probably know that case options are few and far between for this 3CCD camera. I made "do" with a generic Lowe Pro camera bag for a few months, but based on a suggestion from a friend, I went for the Kata CCC-1111 model. It's not specifically listed as being compatible with the GL2, but it really should be.

The fit is tight in the main compartment if you have the extra large eye cup and the lens shield on the dvcam, but it still fits nicely. In fact, you have a few options as to the fit and layout of the bag - there's two dividers inside meant to accomodate smaller miniDV cams, but you can remove one, and leave the multi-level divider in place, and simply place the Canon GL2 on it's side in the top.

Fit and finish are superb. The trap door access on the back for the bottom of the case is a great idea. The two side pouches are removable, but hold secure while used. The straps are first rate, everything about this bag is almost perfect for the GL2. I have the bag loaded with shotgun mike, XLR adapter, two lapel mikes, spare batteries, charger, 10w light, and even have room for a Nikon CPX2500 digicam. Highly recommended.
