Hello, at the end I finally bought a super sennheiser G4 ew112p kit and I am very happy for the choice. What bag do you suggest to carry around these things?

I want something not plastic hard style like (hprc) because when I flight these things are too heavy to carry around. Anyone experiences with amazon basics bag, or other bags like orca-bags, tenba?

I have larger bags by ThinkTank and Porta Brace. Both are well made and durable. The ThinkTank is particularly nice. It's definitely a tank in terms of padding. I'd recommend either brand. 

Are you just looing for a bag to transport your gear, or something like a soundie's recorder bag you can work out of on set? I'm personally thinking a chest rig type bag might be a good idea for what I do -- recording sound for my own shoots to a MixPre 3. I'm interested to hear suggestions for that.

If you just mean a bag to carry the RX and TX around in, you might already have something that will work. I have a couple of soft bags my various lenses came in that I don't use for the lenses. One of them is a drawstring suede bag with a leather bottom from my 17-40 F4 L (I think). It works great for containing both of my Sony UWP-D11 systems, for transport in a backpack or one of my bigger backs. Maybe you already have something like that lying around?

Like this?

Then pair it with a lightweight harness:

I have the Porta Brace AO-2XB which is great, costs $228 (pics below). Orca also makes great stuff, I have their OR-268 for my Zoom F6 when I just need something basic and small. But they have some very nice bigger bags, pricier than Portra Brace, though. Can't go wrong with either.

I also have a Loudmouth Large Cable File Bag (on Amazon for $100: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WW4HTLT/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A2D3DSPXQTS3U6&psc=1) which is great for organizing cables (audio or otherwise, I use it for all kinds of cables) when you're not using them.

Sorry, I did not thoroughly read your replies that you just want something for transport.

I just use Nanuk or Pelican hard cases with foam for my lavs and audio recorder. I get custom foam cut, but that's pricy.

There's cases like this all over amazon, just find one big enough with good reviews, you can't really go wrong. Nanuk and Pelican are my favorite brands, though. The foam you can pluck out and shape inserts however you want yourself.

I am full of bags to put things inside, I want something small only for the audio wireless set.

That's for the DJI Osmo but that same idea is what I just posted - any hard case with foam that you can pluck out to fit your gear. Just make sure it's wide and deep enough for whatever you have. You can drive a truck over some of those Pelican cases.
