RoadWired Photo/Video Pro Bag

RoadWired's Photo/Video Pro bag has over two-dozen pockets and compartments, and can accommodate a complete 35mm, digital, or video camcorder outfit. Features include multi-level weather protection, specialized storage compartments and a heavy-duty suspension system.The bag has a large (15 x 8 x 9”) main compartment, fully lined with Velcro-compatible knit material. These proportions allow room for larger-bodied cameras lenses, including the popular 80-200mm and similar “fast” zooms. Padded divider panels—an assortment of shapes and sizes is included—can be set up in virtually limitless positions within the main compartment, creating a custom-fit interior. Many of the panels are “scored” with stitching in two directions, so they can be easily folded and used as lens/camera supports, interior sub-compartments, or added support for other divider walls.

An oversized main weather flap covers the bag and secures with a 4-point closure system. In addition, RoadWired’s exclusive, self-storing weather shield can be unrolled and zipped around the top of the main compartment, providing an extra measure of protection from the elements. The large exterior cargo pockets are fully lined, and have individual weather flaps and security closures. One of the cargo pockets features a built-in drawstring pouch for exposed film, and the other offers an integral mobile phone pouch. Both cargo pockets have under-flap film storage loops.

Other storage and organization features include dual drop-down front pockets with elasticized internal compartments for filters, pens, and even a handheld computer/PDA. Hidden in the bag lining is a small, “secret pocket” for emergency cash, credit card, or key. A variety of zippered mesh pockets throughout the bag offer space for batteries, cords, notepads and other small accessories, and additional pockets are provided on the front and back of the bag exterior. The rearmost pocket is covered by a smooth outer fabric, to protect the photographer’s clothing from wear-and-tear, and the entire rear panel of the bag is slightly contoured to better hug the hip.

The Photo/Video Pro is made of 1050 Denier Ballistic Nylon with neoprene accent trim. Other materials include seatbelt-type webbing, metal swivel clips and oversized, contoured zipper pulls. Materials and workmanship are covered by RoadWired’s lifetime warranty against factory defects.

The RoadWired Photo/Video Pro Bag sells for $180. A smaller version, the “Photo/Video System” Bag, is available for $130. www.roadwired.com.
