  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Bag for RAVEN

Think Tank Airport series are really popular and incredibly good. I have two sizes for about 3 years now and they are in great shape still. Built to last, no frills functional design that you can bring on the plane.
 
Over the years I've used camera backpacks from all the manufacturers. My work is almost always very mobile, and thus requires scaled down kits for mobility. I've been putting Red cameras in backpacks since I took delivery of my first Red camera, Red One serial number 0008 in August 2007.

The backpacks I've been using for several years now in real mobile work, using minimal accessories and small cine primes, Canon, and Nikon lenses depending on the Red camera model, are three different backpacks from Clik Elite. I've used them for years with Epic, more recently with Raven, and very shortly even with Helium. The backpacks were actually designed by and for mobile work photographers and cinematographers from the bottom up for comfort and security - they look like a normal mountaineering backpack on the outside, and they meet carry-on requirements for the airlines when I travel. They're by far the most comfortable camera backpacks I've used in my entire production career.

Here's the three Clik Elite camera backpacks I own and regularly use in my mobile cinematography work:

Escape 2.0

(If you do more stationary cinematography using lots of accessories - large MB, FF, lights, extensive audio kit, etc. - these aren't the backpacks for you. But for mobile, less accessory work, they're incredibly good and comfortable.)
