Top Gear Online Car Accessories

My pelican case saved my camera, lens and other accessories in a car wreck. This thing is a tank! Buy one as insurance for your gear. The TrekPak divider system is also a great solution for optimizing the organization of your gear.

I'm shooting a long series of interviews in front of a portable green screen. My green screen lights, round rollup green screen, light stands, camera, MacBook Pro & GRaid hard drive for footage archiving (hauled in Portabrace backpack), field monitor/TV, etc, require more hauling space than my standard video setup (for which I use a small upright cart). I have a small car as well, so I don't have a bunch of extra room for all my greenscreen video gear. I have a larger cosco lay-flat cart, but it's too big to fit in my car with all my other green screen gear. But at its half length / carrying configuration, this R12 carts fits easily sitting up on one end, on the floorboards of the front passenger seat of my compact car, allowing me to put all my other gear in the trunk and back seat. Stretched to full length, the cart holds my large Betacam-sized portabrace case and a Steadicam softcase laying flat on the bottom rails of the cart, while I can bungee cord other gear up on top of the lower lay-flat cases. I can also hang my tripod (by the pan stick) on one of the two top rails of the cart --- the one opposite the steering wheels top tube. Before I found this cart, I was making Two trips from the car in to my filming location, because my littler upright cart (a Concorde IV, I think) obviously couldn't safely handle all of the green screen equipment. My coworker came to me when one of the tires went flat on one of my other carts she was using, and this R12 has Can't-go-flat tires, which is another advantage. This cart is great for my bigger loads! I actually ordered a second one from B&H already, in case the one I'm using now totally breaks down, but I hope it doesn't/and don't think it will in the nearterm.

I have the backpack loaded up with my gear and accessories and it holds it all easily. The big space on top is great for stuffing a sweatshirt or other bulky things into the bag. It is very comfortable to wear as the curved straps sit nicely on my shoulders. Be prepared to get some sort of accessories organizers/wallets/pouches as small things are easily lost in the big top space (there are no internal mesh pockets). I will add a filter wallet and a small wallet or pouch for batteries and charger.

RRS engineers and fabricates top-notch gear. I buy their accessories to match the quality of my camera bodies and lenses. For instance, Nikon makes great glass but often falls (very) short on the lens foot. RRS to the rescue.

MindShift Gear has done it again!   I find that the PHOTOCROSS 15 BACKPACK from thinkTANKPhoto/Mindshift Gear is an outstanding backpack for hiking with, for example, a Nikon Z7, 4 lenses (including a Nikkor 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 Zoom with FTZ Adapter attached!), and accessories. I cannot say that about too many other backpacks or shoulder bags! Additionally, this backpack will accommodate a Flashpoint R/2 flash with dome light modifier, batteries, filters, camera strap, and other accessories. The YKK zippers are waterproof and smooth. The exterior is a water-repellent material that seems quite durable for hiking, setting down on rocky surfaces, etc. The side access with the backpack on one shoulder is handy, as are the robust handles on top and one side. The straps and nice padding are all top-notch, adjustable, and quite comfortable indeed! The side pouch is yet another convenience. Overall, I highly recommend this PHOTOCROSS 15 BACKPACK for the landscape/nature/ hiking photographer!

Top gear, top delivery!

It's like a glove compartment in a car. You can stuff it with anything from weights to accessories you need to have at reach arm.

Perfect for my needs; has adapter and car lighter accessories so I keep it in my purse for use at any time. GREAT !!

Wish there were even more accessories for this, it took a bit of online lurking to figure out how to get this working, but it's great!

solid piece of gear with needed accessories
