[M550] Medium Multi-Pouch, $79.00

This product replaced the E530.

Description
This bag is a minature compartmentalized camera bag for use on a belt. It is designed to hold two to three lenses including two 2.8 pro-size zooms (16-35 or 24-70) with room for a second prime lens, teleconverter or light meter. It will also house a "small" DSLR with a lens attached. It has mulitple dividers and a "flop over" lid. The lid has a unique tuck away feature, providing unencumbered access to the contents.

Features

  • Main compartment: Will house two large, short 2.8 zoom lenses with additional room for a third accessory such as a shoe-mount flash or light meter. Will also hold a "small" DSLR with a short lens attached and/or an additional lens.
  • Fabrication: The sides and bottom are padded with 10mm (3/8") closed-cell foam. The lid has 6mm (1/4") padding. The interior is constructed with a hook & loop fabric for attachment of dividers.
  • Pockets & other features: See right-hiand side bar.
  • Ergonomically curved to fit on your waist.
  • Includes two padded dividers with improved V-shaped, "grippier" Velcro® attachment. The dividers can be positioned anywhere in the case or totally removed. Also available is the V025 "trap door" divider for stacking short lenses or telextenders.
  • Two side webbing loops for an optional shoulder strap (Y315 recommended)
  • Sewn-in SlikClips (on the back side) for mounting inside the Journeyman Pack w/o the need for P111 adapter. 

One of the inherent problems with waist-mounted pouches is how to keep the lid out of the way. The M550 takes a different approach with it's lightly padded lid -- it folds in half and then stuffs away behind the the bag, using a Velcro to hold in place. This can be done swiftly as shown in the photos above.

Overhead view with a "small" DSLR body with a short lens attached. On the left is a shoe-mount flash. Although the flash pokes up above the top of the case, the loose fit of the lid closes w/o a problem.

The M550 has two methods of closure. A hook & loop QuickClose strap in the center & two outer straps with quick-release buckles. The top flap is sized so that most 70-200/2.8 lenses (with hood reversed) can be inserted in this pouch.

Smaller single-wide pouches (A126 shown) can be piggy-backed to either side of the M550. Examples include A126, F102, F037, F078, E110, or A291.

Back side of the M550. Shown is a hand grab loop and webbing belt loops for attaching to a non-Kinesis belt. A pair of SlikClip buckles are sewn in for attaching to the inside of the Journeyman backpack.

The dividers use a grabby V-shaped Velcro® design.

The foam front and back panels of the M550 can be removed for a softer bag and more photojournalist approach. (Invert the pouch first to facilitate this procedure.)
