Michael Durr here with PhotoPXL.com and in this article I am going to show you the Top Shelf Premium Edition camera bag from BevisGear.com.
What makes this uniquely designed bag different from other bags?
Well, it allows you to access your gear in just a few seconds with a simple sling and the push of a button.
It provides a tabletop surface for you to easily change lenses, SD cards, or batteries.
I’ve been putting this bag through its paces in a variety of shooting scenarios, including at a concert. It was awesome to be able to have a low-profile bag while navigating in a crowd and also have a way to swap lenses without having to try to find a table or use the floor.
The push-button feature, which was initially designed for race card hoods, is incredibly strong and reliable. You don’t need to zip the bag. I admit it was a bit nerve-racking at first but after testing it out for myself I had no issues keeping the zipper open and using the push button on its own to secure the gear.
The bag also can convert into a traditional backpack, but I have only been using the sling style to take advantage of the tabletop access.
I found this bag to be incredibly innovative and have really enjoyed using it in some real-world environments. It is made of a water-resistant material and also comes with a rain cover to further protect your gear. There is also a couple of pockets on the front for smaller items and a quick access side door.
I do wish it was slightly larger because I typically use a grip on my camera and have some larger lenses with hoods that wouldn’t quite fit. All it really required was being a little more selective and intentional about what gear I was using. It was actually nice to have a little lighter load than I would typically venture out with.
