When Gaff Tape Just Isn't Enough...

Not that we're disparaging gaff tape, but it's just barely possible that sometime you might run into a problem on-set that would be better served by something else and wouldn't it be nice to be ready?

What if we made a list highlighting some things and then, for good measure, threw in 10% off on select items for the rest of the month when ordered through our website? Check it out below the jump!

Now in 3HD!

Here's the latest from PortaBrace on their new redesigned AH-3HD heavy load harness:

Continuing to redesign and improve its audio products in keeping with the requests of its users, Portabrace is releasing a redesign of their heavy load harness. This modular harness is designed for audio professionals carrying both large and small rigs, and features an improved multi-point adjustment system. It also boasts a low and form fitting profile. The supportive waist belt fastens firmly to the body, enabling the user to lower the weight of the mixer down to the hips, taking strain off the shoulders and back. While remaining substantially reinforced and padded, the harness is extremely lightweight. This new harness system will be available very soon.

We'll keep you posted! Meanwhile, enjoy some more pictures below the jump!

Sneak Peek: PortaBrace AO-1.5 Redesign

Check out the prototype pics for the slimmer, lighter PortaBrace AO-1.5 Bag

PortaBrace's Adam Butler had this to say:

PortaBrace's new audio department has been busy making significant improvements to its classic AO series of audio organizer bags. During the redesign, we paid special attention to modernizing in conjunction with the changing needs of audio professionals. Size, strength, weight (3.5lbs) and most importantly functionality, were all key focus points of the design.

Some of the new modifications include: multiple metal ring attachment points on each side of the bag for improved balance and stability; additional of a large access flap to the underside/rear of the miser compartment, allowing easy access to batteries or media slots; and fully removable/interchangeable modular sides, which feature NP1/BDS and transmitter pouches. Portabrace also made important minor changes to the bag such as a fully collapsible smaller front pocket, longer handles, and a double vinyl rain cover/pocket.

The organizer bags are currently in the final stages of the design process. Readers can expect all bags in the AO line to be available in the coming months. The first bag to be available will be the AO-1.5.

These modifications and improvements are just a taste of things to come from PortaBrace. Expect to see many more new designs and improvements throughout 2014.
