This is our “kitchen sink” shoulder bag. Designed for the digital photojournalist who needs to transport an entire camera system. Also used for hauling strobe units.
Please note that this is a very large bag that is designed as a transporter case and is not intended to be used as a working “over-the-shoulder shooting bag.”
Sized as a U.S. airline maximum carry-on piece of luggage.
Includes the Y515 Heavy-duty Shoulder Strap
This bag serves a wide variety of purposes. Originally designed for the digital photojournalist who needs to transport a laptop computer, cell phone, one or two digital bodies, 3-4 lenses and a change of clothes. This bag is also useful as:
- Traditional camera shoulder bag* for your DSLR camera system with lenses (tall enough to stow your 70-200/2.8 vertically inside with the lens hood in the shooting position).
- Run bag for the motion picture or TV production crews.
- Bag in which to stow your Betacam video camera.
- Overnight luggage bag.
- Bag for your hot lights or compact strobe equipment.
Features
One single-wide or a double-wide pouch can attach to either end of the case. This bag has a top center zipper made with YKK's heaviest water repellent #10 coil self-healing coil zipper. This zipper is like the old "doctor's bag" opening with no case top to flop to the front or back. This enables you to work out of the bag with the zipper always open and without having to lift a flap or bag top. The front features a large horseshoe-shaped pocket with inside smaller pockets for CF cards, Sharpies, calculator, cell phone, MiniMag etc.
The back features a large pocket with a horizontal zipper suitable for a clip board, legal pad, or copy of the latest issue of PDN. The dividers can removed and placed anywhere inside the bag. The dividers are shorter than the overall height of the bag to increase accessibility (this is a VERY deep bag). The shorter dividers (24cm deep) allow for other bulky accessories to stowed on top such as a compact Kinesis belt system, a fleece jacket etc.
Construction
The exterior of the bag is constructed of tough 1050 denier nylon Ballistics cloth (not a cheaper polyester imitation like some of our competitors). The inside features a continuous surface of Velcro-compatible soft pile fabric. The removable dividers can be placed anywhere in the bag. The bottom features a layer of 12mm high-density foam with a 10mm layer on the sides and top.
Please note that the bag interior is now made with black nylon fabric, instead of light gray shown in photos.
