Camera bag for 6K Pro with Sigma 18-35?

Best would be a bag in which the 6K Pro with the Sigma 18-35 fits, plus space for 2 other lenses.

I could say you need to do your own research, as there are lots and lots of Youtube videos on bags, cases and everything inbetween BUT you really don't say whether this is for carrying to shoots where it's just sitting in your car, or your hiking up Caer Caradoc in Shropshire and it's more of a backpack you require ?

I'd first decide if you want a backpack to cover distances by foot or bicycle or if you just want a container. If the latter, rather consider professional suitcases for cameras, which give you better protection when bumped around. The best ones can even drop into a river without letting water in.

Or do you want a bag where you can leave the fully-rigged camera in and just grab it quickly to shoot? For that purpose, I bought an old bag for a Sony broadcast camera second-hand for peanuts. It holds our UMP 4.6K with viewfinder, V-mount battery and the Sigma 18-35mm just fine. I'm sure you can find something similar for your needs.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

For a soft bag, I really like the Think Tank Streetwalker Pro's. Been using them for several years now. They're quite tough and soft for the gear inside. Also though they're a little exspensive new, they show up on eBay for pretty reasonable prices.

For soft bag and not a backpack, I like the Sachtler. I have the Dr. Bag 1 for the Pocket 6K only with 3 lenses, a few other things, and the Dr. Bag 4 for the URSA Mini Pro G2 with room for the pocket 6K if I need to bring it with me.

Here’s the link to the Dr. Bag 1 - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... bag_1.html

Here is my Dr. Bag 4 with both URSA MP G2 and Pocket 6K and a couple of lenses, batteries, other items I needed for a simple day or travel shoot.
