The body, the lenses and the flash each travel in their own cell, and everything else travels on top of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo black nylon. No tactical webbing. No logo telling a whole train carriage what you are carrying. Load the bottom half once and leave it loaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour camera stops travelling wrapped in a jumper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost cameras get carried in an ordinary rucksack with a fleece pushed round the body and a lens rolling loose in the bottom, which works right up until the moment you put the bag down harder than you meant to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom half of this one is a padded box with soft dividers in it. They fasten with hook and loop, so you move them to suit whatever you are carrying that day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe door on the side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole front drops down when you want to repack, and that is the wrong move when the light is going and the shot is in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo there is a second way in. A zip runs down the left side of the bag and opens a door straight into the camera compartment, which means you swing the bag off one shoulder, reach in and lift the body out while the bag hangs on the other strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside face of that door carries a zipped mesh pocket, so the filters, the cards and the spare battery ride in the door itself rather than somewhere under the long lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe tripod rides underneath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo webbing straps cross the base over a pair of ribbed rubber pads. A folded travel tripod slides under them and sits along the bottom of the bag, off your shoulder and out of your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the camera section, a plain compartment opens wide on a zip between two canvas handles. A jacket, a flask, a sandwich. A flat slot against the back panel takes a tablet or a laptop, and the internal figures are in the specifications so you can measure yours first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo zipped pockets sit in the lid, and a bottle drops into the open mesh pocket on the right hand side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the cheap camera bag gives itself away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe thirty dollar version cuts the same corners every time. The shell is thin nylon that creases and stays creased. The dividers are sewn where the factory put them. The only way in is the one at the front. Worst of all, it looks exactly like what it is, which is a bag with two thousand dollars of glass in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is waxed cotton canvas with leather straps and warm gold-toned metal rings, and it reads as a bag somebody takes to work. The wax gives the cloth a cloudy, mottled surface that beads a shower and dries off, though the zips are ordinary zips and heavy rain is a coat over the top or a run for the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKhaki, Army Green or Gray, and in all three it looks like luggage rather than equipment. That is the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 11.8 x 6.3 x 16.5 in (30 x 16 x 42 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamera compartment, internal: 10.2 x 4.7 x 7.9 in (26 x 12 x 20 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 2.6 lb (1.19 kg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Waxed canvas with leather trim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLining: Polyester\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamera section: Padded, with repositionable hook and loop dividers, opening from the front and from a zipped door on the left side\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper compartment: Zip opening between two carry handles, with a flat slot against the back panel and two zipped pockets in the lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaptop: A flat slot sits against the back panel.
