Camera Gear Storage That Works in the Field 

Field production gear needs to be portable, protected, and accessible. According to industry data, over 65% of broadcasters now operate in hybrid environments, combining studio and remote setups. That means your gear must be ready to move.

Key features to look for: 

• Weather-resistant materials like coated nylon or polyester 
• Padded compartments for cameras, lenses, and accessories 
• Ergonomic support for long shoots and travel days 

Backpacks like the Osprey Exos 48 and Deuter Futura Vario 50+10 are popular among field professionals for their comfort and durability.

A well-designed backpack keeps your gear safe and your workflow smooth, even in rugged conditions. 

Broadcast Equipment Transport Made Simple 

Transporting AV gear isn’t just about carrying - it’s about protecting. With the average cost of a broadcast camera setup exceeding $5,000, damage during transit can be costly. 

Look for these essentials: 

• Shock-absorbing padding 
• Secure zippers and closures 
• Modular compartments for custom setups 

Brands now offer modular camera bag systems that let you configure storage based on your shoot. These systems are ideal for production crews who switch between studio and field work. 

Smart transport solutions reduce setup time and protect your investment. 

Waterproof Media Backpacks for Outdoor Shoots 

Outdoor shoots demand gear that can handle rain, dust, and unpredictable terrain. Waterproof AV gear bags are now standard for broadcast teams working in the field. 

Why waterproof matters: 

• Protects sensitive electronics from moisture 
• Prevents corrosion and lens fogging 
• Keeps gear dry during travel and storage 

Waterproofing isn’t optional - it’s essential for outdoor production. 

Modular Camera Bag Systems for Production Crews 

Modular systems allow professionals to customise their gear layout. These bags feature removable dividers, expandable compartments, and accessory pouches. 

Benefits of modular systems: 

• Adaptable for different shoot types 
• Easier gear access during live production 
• Reduces clutter and improves organisation 

Brand like Lowepro offers modular packs designed for DSLRs, lenses, and AV accessories.

Modular bags give production teams the flexibility they need to stay efficient. 

Broadcast Camera Protection in Transit 

Protecting your camera gear during transport is non-negotiable. With over 80% of broadcasters using high-end cameras for live and recorded content, proper protection is a must.

What to look for: 

• Hard-shell cases for fragile gear 
• Foam-lined interiors for shock absorption 
• Lockable compartments for security 

Rolling camera bags are ideal for crews on the move, offering both protection and mobility. 

The right protection ensures your gear arrives ready to perform. 

On-Location Filming Bags for Agile Crews 

On-location shoots require quick access to gear. Bags designed for filming in the field often include: 

• Quick-access zippers 
• Side pockets for batteries and cables 
• Chest and waist straps for stability 

The Kelty Redwing 50 and North Face Recon are popular among videographers for their balance of storage and mobility. Agility in the field starts with the right bag. 

AV Equipment Carry Solutions for Every Setup 

From handheld cameras to lighting kits, AV gear varies widely. Your bag should match your setup. 

Consider these options: 

• Backpacks for mobile crews 
• Shoulder bags for quick access 
• Rolling cases for heavy gear 

We offer a wide range of AV gear bags suited for every production style. Match your carry solution to your gear for maximum efficiency.
