Tactical Vest for Sound Devices 688 Mixer

The Porta Brace Audio Tactical Vest 688 merges a harness and bag into a single military-style garment designed for professional location sound. It fits the Sound Devices 688 mixer securely, creating a compact rig for ENG, documentary and fast-paced reality production. The vest targets mixers who need hands-free mobility with immediate access to controls and accessories.

Breathable 1000 denier Cordura nylon construction

Crafted from 1000 denier Cordura nylon, the vest remains breathable during extended sessions while resisting abrasion in harsh environments. Its ergonomic design distributes the mixer weight evenly across the torso to reduce fatigue. An NP1 battery pocket sits under the mixer for convenient power access without adding bulk.

Modular storage adapts to sustained field use

A modular iPad pouch, boom clip and detachable front-or-back pouch keep essential gear organised throughout long shooting days. The separate phone and pen holder interchanges with the iPad sleeve for customisable workflow options. This layout maintains stability and accessibility when moving continuously between setups.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the Sound Devices 688 mixer to the tactical vest?

Secure the mixer to the front mounting panel using the vest's built-in attachment points, then adjust the shoulder and waist straps to evenly distribute the 688's weight across your torso.

What parts of the vest will need replacement after heavy field use?

The 1000 denier Cordura nylon shell resists abrasion, but the modular iPad pouch, detachable accessory pouch, and phone/pen holder attach via hook-and-loop and may wear out first.

What limits mobility first during a long shoot with a fully loaded vest?

Heat buildup under the 1000 denier Cordura panels becomes noticeable before the weight distribution system reaches its limit, especially when the NP1 battery pocket and mixer are both populated.
