Professional Maximumprotection with the minimum of fuss For ultimate protection, Manfrotto has combined multiple innovative defences in its Professional range of bags, without compromising on ease of use or style. The first line of defence is the Exo-Tough outer construction – a multi-layered shock-absorbing foam covered with high- performance rip-resistant fabric that spreads the initial shock of an impact across the surface, channelling it around your kit rather than through it. And for any force that this doesn’t deflect, there’s protection at the heart of the bags too. Manfrotto has recognised that the weakest point of a bag is the centre, and that if you drop it the items at the edges get forced into the middle and compress what’s there, risking serious damage. To avoid this, Manfrotto Professional bags feature a unique Camera Protection System, which uses dividers made with a thick layer of 3D shock-absorbing foam that encase the central area and dampen impacts. There’s a built-in rain cover too, and feet keep the bottom off wet or muddy ground. Alongside this protection, Manfrotto Professional bags have also been designed for ease of use. All pockets and compartments are positioned for convenience, while durable metal fastenings and oversized zips mean it’s quick and easy to get into them. A minimal and stylish design also means they’re suitable for any situation while remaining discreet. The Professional range includes 16 bags, so there’s sure to be one that suits your needs. Backpacks let you carry the Pro Light New toManfrotto’s line-up, the lightest camera bags on the market with professional protection Manfrotto’s brand new Pro Light range has it all – not only do these bags protect your kit and offer ergonomic solutions in a variety of sizes, but they’re also extremely lightweight. They’re built using the latest innovative materials to keep the weight to a minimumwithout sacrificing durability, so they’re still reliable and highly resistant even in the most demanding of situations. And inside is the same Camera Protection System as in the Professional range, using 3D shock- absorbing foam to shield the most vulnerable equipment in the centre of the bag from the force of an impact. Stability and comfort also come as standard with the Pro Light range. These bags feature Advanced Harness System and gecko EVA foam harness straps, and there are removable ergonomic waist straps to improve stability and comfort when walking. All pocket positions, zip pulls, tripod holders and straps have been carefully considered to offer the most innovative carrying solutions. Take the Revolver Backpack as an example. It includes a revolving internal magazine that can store a large range of lenses and rotate to provide single-point side access to them all. There’s also top access so you can store your DSLR where you can reach it easily. It means you can comfortably carry your DSLR with lens attached, even a 70-200mm zoom, and reach any of it without having to unpack everything. The 3N1 Backpack shows the thought put into the ergonomics of the Pro Light range as well. The design means
most, designed to hold pro DSLR bodies, lenses, flashes, a laptop, tripod and accessories. Professional shoulder bags offer an easy way to carry your camera kit as well as a laptop, tablet, notebook, documents and personal items with easy access to all of it. The range also includes holsters for when you want to carry the minimum, sling bags for easy access and comfort, and airline-friendly roller cases for transporting and travelling with large amounts of kit. Prices start at just £65 for the Professional Holster Plus 20, and the top price is £320 for the Professional Roller Bag 70.
you can choose from three carrying positions – right sling or left sling keeps the bag across one shoulder so you can quickly swing it round to the front, while the cross position combines the comfort of a backpack with the quick access of a sling bag. The entire Pro Light range is made up of 21 bags, including bags and cases for video and lighting equipment as well as backpacks and holsters for photography. There’s also a range of complementary accessories: a camera strap with a 3D mesh construction for comfort, and a variety of camera and video rain covers for waterproof protection – with transparent panels so you can see the camera controls. The Pro Light bags start at £74.95, while the accessories start at £16.95.
