It measures 6" x 7" (150mm x 175mm), but the depth and width are tapered strongly toward the narrow end of the case - from 4.5" (100mm) down to 2.5" (65mm) in depth. I should also note that, since the case is somewhat flexible, you can stretch the dimensions I provided somewhat.Īdditional storage is provided under the zipped-closed area on the right side (as pictured above) of the case. You could of course store any camera or non-camera accessory here that fits - such as sunglasses in a case. You could get two or three very small lenses into these sections, but there is less-than-adequate room for most lens hoods. The small divided section on the left measures 3" x 3.5" (75mm x 90mm) (wxh) and the large divided section measures 2.5" x 5.5" (65mm x 140mm). The main storage compartment is 9.5" wide, 8" high and 4" deep (235mm x 200mm x 100mm).ĭivider pads in the main compartment are held in place by strong hook-and-loop fasteners and are reconfigurable (one is shown removed above).īecause of the small size of the case, there are not many alternatives to the as-received format shown above without changing the basic way the case is designed to work.

You don't want the bag hanging from your shoulder with a fully open main compartment as the gear is at high risk of falling out. Unclipping two clips will allow the same double-pull zipper to continue until the entire flap opens - as is shown below. To access the case contents, unclip the small strap (if you are using it) and rotate the case and shoulder strap down under the left arm until it is easily accessible in front.Īt this point, a double-pull zipper will open to access only the side of the case which is pointing up - similar to how a Toploader is accessed - with the lid opening away.
