Camera Bag Technology

Camera Bag technology has come a long way in recent years. In the past, the only thing a camera bag was good for was holding stuff. It didn't really offer the protection photographers needed for expensive equipment. Today's camera bags have superior added technology that have photographers doing things they've never been able to do before.

Foam Protection. Camera bags today are constructed from a thick closed cell foam material. The foam protects the contents of the bag from all angles. The foam is covered with an ultra soft felt lining that provides a non-abrasive surface for delicate equipment. Plastic paneling is used for the structure of the bag, giving it a rigid form.

Waterproof. Water-resistant material is used as the casing for the camera bag. Some bags come with a protective weather jacket that adds another level of moisture protection by surrounding the entire case.

Padded Lens Cradle. For lenses, camera bags can now come equipped with a padded U-shaped cradle that attaches to the interior of the bag using Velcro straps. The cradle is padded and covered in ultra-soft material to securely hold the lens with the grip facing upward.

Modularity. Modularity is a new function, unique to certain types of camera bags. The modular system allows photographers to use large and small camera bags together with the use of a modular belt to connect them. This modular belt allows photographers to use a much or as little camera equipment as needed for a given shoot.

All these new and advanced features make camera bags better than ever.
