As we move towards using the iPad more in everyday production, we’ve been on the look out for the smallest bag, with the most storage for both camera gear and an iPad. Luckily we stumbled upon Tenbas both at NAB 2012.
The Discovery line from Tenba, features a slim, light weight profile, made out of water proof materials. The Discovery mini replaces both our Logic case sling and the bulky Tamarac Evo 8 bags.
The Discovery bag has enough room to store one camera body and three small lenses.
Available in both black and white colors.
The bottom compartment can be customize to the gear you carry around. Here we packed a couple GoPros, a 70-200, 7D body a 20mm lens and iPad.
Zipper cover securely holds contents inside the flap compartment. The protective cover holds an intervalometer, gopro bacpac, straps and camera connection cables.
The front has enough room to hold quick to reach items, like an iPhone and extra cards.
Self healing zippers help keep your equipment safe and secure inside.
Handles on top fit nicely on tripod hooks.
The top compartment is quite spacious, with enough room to fit light cloths. We packed ours with an extra camera, H4N, windsscreen, lights and a brush pen.
On the flap we have space for a business card. The mesh ziper pocket holds a micro fiber cloth and head phones.
And when you gotta do some editing work on the go, the bag can easy convert to accommodate up to a 15 inch laptop.
To setup, we just detach the main compartment and move the top divider to the bottom front.
This gives us enough room to even fit a camera with a 24-70 lens.
The back top compartment can hold an iPad with a cover or a netbook.
This is the configuration that allows us to replace the two bags we previous traveled with.
Raised padded backing helps keep you cool by allowing airflow circulation on hot sunny days.
The straps are ultra soft providing an all day caring comfort.
The two side pouches allow enough room for a tripod, mono pod and even a bottle of water.
Bottom features an Abrasion and moister resistant materials for setting your bag down on wet surfaces.
Protective cover is included for rainy conditions.
