Default Does the Knight 3D fit in the Align Trex 600 bag?

Seems like it should, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had success with this.

Thanks!

It will. The Knight is both shorter and narrower. Only real problem would be the length, but I'm pretty sure you'd be safe with that too. I had mine next to my buddy's several times and they are about 2%-5% smaller in all dimensions (including weight ). Other than the shame of having the name on the outside, is suppose the bag would work just fine.

Well, I ordered the TREX600 bag and it is unfortunately a few inches too short, even with the canopy off.

It's actually quite a tight squeeze for height as well with the Compass FBL head.

Should have got the 700 bag. Also shouldn't have thrown out the packing materials for the 600 bag before trying it.

Anybody want to buy a brand new 600 bag?

Cheers!

Hmm...that doesn't make any sense. Maybe the electric version (which I'm assuming that's what the bag was originally designed for) is smaller than the K3D? I know the length was pretty similar, but I thought the Knight was a bit shorter overall. My mistake. How much was the bag that you bought? I'm pretty sure you could resell it for a decent price (or at least I hope you can). The place you bought it from wouldn't take a return on it?

The bag was $89, I don't think it'll be a problem to sell it. I might just toss it in the trunk the next time I head to the field, and put a FOR SALE $50 sign on it Half the people at my field have trex 600's.

I think the 600 must be a bit smaller than the knight. Ah well, next time I will measure twice, buy once

I bought it from an online dealer but immediately tossed all the packing materials.... so I'd have to find a box, pay postage, etc, to return it, and I don't even have the "manual" or weird dog tags that came with the bag anymore, so it's not really in "like new" condition. I think I'll just sell it used rather than try to return it.

Cheers!

I think I had to get the 700 sized Heliguard bags, for both the Knight Pro and Knight 3D.

My Trex 600E is slightly shorter than the Knights are.
