About this bag

The Pro 8 uses Tamrac’s patented Lens-Bridge® and LensGate® divider systems to protect two digital or film SLRs with lenses attached, multiple lenses and accessories. Equipment is completely protected beneath Tamrac’s unique full coverage Dual-Action Top™ that features quick-access Easy Squeeze™ buckles plus an internal zipper access for extra protection and security. A Slide Pocket™ features Tamrac’s U.S. patented Memory & Battery Management System™ that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available and which ones are used up. Pockets inside the top keep film and accessories visible and organized. The ZipDrop™ front pocket is compartmentalized with organizer pockets and a zip mesh accessory pocket. Foam-padded side pockets provide convenient outside storage and a zippered back pocket is a safe place for tickets and documents. A strong plastic platform in bottom provides shock protection. An EasyGrip™ handle, padded BioCurve™ shoulder strap with a non-slip patch and tripod straps round out the long list of features. Add Tamrac accessories using the attachment slots for our Strap Accessory System™ (S.A.S.™) products to customize this lightweight professional-sized camera bag.

This bag is probably nearly perfect for day to day use, when you don't want, or need a backpack, but still want a good amount of equipment. It is comfortable to carry for extended periods, has reasonable padding on the main strap, and is nice to use. The main compartment has room for 2 bodies, one at either end, and up to 4 normal sized lenses (3 or 4 if you use large f2.8 lenses) in the central section. The bag has 2 fairly large pockets at either end, plus there is a useful front pocket, along with an extra pocket behind that one for storing memory cards etc. The 2 pockets in the main lid are probably better for storing cards etc though, as i tend to forget that the extra pocket is there! The bag lid/top offers the choice of either doing the zips up fully, or just doing the 4 clips up instead. Both systems work, although the zips are better in the rain! The bag also has 2 straps for a medium sized tripod to be carried at the front/bottom of the bag. I've been using mine for around 3 years, and it hasn't let me down yet.

What works
