Lowepro announced the launch of the Compact Courier Series, consisting of the Compact Courier 70 and 80. Ideal for the increasingly popular interchangeable lens compact system cameras such as Sony NEX and similar models, the Compact Courier series is a lightweight and flexible carrying shoulder bag solution.
Both shoulder bags feature Lowepro’s protective and thoughtful details, such as padded interiors with contrasting brushed tricot lining, a built-in memory card pocket on the outside flap, a built-in microfiber cleaning cloth to protect a lens and LCD screen from dust and smudges, an extra-wide dual-zippered opening for easy access to the main compartment, hook/loop fasteners on the flap;, an adjustable shoulder strap, a built-in belt loop, sturdy hardware; and durable water-resistant materials that protect from impact and moisture.
BosStrap’s out-of-the-box engineering solved many of the inherent disadvantages of across-the-shoulder
camera straps. Visually BosStrap stands out because it does not require a cumbersome and
roaming shoulder pad for a gear laden photographer to have all-day comfort.
BosStrap’s unique approach relies on a 1-1/2” wide nylon belt to distribute
the weight of the camera on your shoulder, and a BosTail that remains
attached to the camera. A TriggerLoc on the BosStrap attaches to a metal ring
on the BosTail. In use the camera slides smoothly up to your eye; at rest the
camera sits at your hip. BosStraps use the left camera strap lug as an attachment
point which is safer than attaching to the tripod socket. Since there is no screw to
remove from the tripod socket, moving between hand-held shooting and a tripod is
a breeze. Professional photographers, who tested the BosStrap system under
studio and field conditions, give it exceptionally high reviews. BosStrap is entirely
made with USA parts and labor. The BosStrap System includes the BosStrap and one BosTail
for $39.95. For your backup cameras, a BosStrap Bundle
includes one BosStrap and two BosTails for $45.90. BosTails are also available separately for
$6.95 each.
Clik Elite’s padded camera bay protects expensive – and fragile photography equipment – from the hard, harsh outside world. Customizable to fit any photographer’s set-up, the bay features adjustable cushioned dividers to shield and cradle delicate camera bodies and lenses. A zippered inner cover adds yet another level of protection. And the innovative magnetic closure snaps closed like magic, holds like a vise, and releases with the twist of its anodized aluminum knob.
Small accessories – media cards, cables, batteries, bags of M&M’s – stay organized and accessible in the multi-pocketed top flap. A roomy side pocket totes a water bottle or additional lens.
