Product Description

The Pro System 12 is the ideal carrying solution for the mobile photographer with digital SLRs, several lenses and accessories. It features Tamrac's Lens-Bridge and LensGate divider systems which cradle the cameras with lenses attached while the gates swing open to protect equipment from coming into contact. A Slide Pocket features the patented Memory and Battery Management System for quick access to memory cards, batteries and accessories. Red flags identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. In front, a full-length ZipDrop pocket with an internal zippered mesh accessory pocket and paraphernalia pockets keeps personal items and small accessories organized. There are two Velcro closing, weather-flapped side pockets and a handy passport/ticket pocket in the back. Inside the top, a removable Pop-Off pocket holds accessories in easy view. With the EasyGrip carrying handle and the Piggy-Back Pocket feature, this bag provides secure storage and quick access to the equipment required for most photo assignments.

This review is from: Tamrac 612 Pro System 12 Camera Bag (Black) (Electronics)

Primarily shooting in the elements, I need gear that can go the distance and not require me to spend my time waiting for repairs or replacement. Like anyone else, I give other products a serious look before settling in on the one that's going to work for me. I came back to Tamrac. The biggest reason is the same one when I picked up my first Tamrac bag 17 years ago. Quality.

After giving this bag a solid workout, its all thumbs up. To be honest, I expected nothing less. The Tamrac 612 Pro System 12 easily accommodates my two Nikon SLRs, five lens, and other accessories. With interior real estate measuring in at 14.5"W x 7"D x 8.5"H its all about space. Weighing in at a little over 5 pounds its not a light weight by any means. The padded swing gate and velcro locking system safely protects all my gear. Unlike some fixed divider systems, I like having the ability to adjust as needed.

From top to bottom and side to side, the grey interior is lined with a thick foam for providing the optimum in shock and vibration protection. I found that the slide pocket with red flag feature is great in managing my SDHC cards and batteries. The large zippered, pop off pocket is another nice add on. It easily holds documents, wallets etc. The front drop pocket provides two separated mesh accessory compartments for easy storage of smaller items.

The bag's exterior is a big selling point for me. Its made of water repellent nylon material that has gone the distance for me time and time again. It does an outstanding job of keeping my gear safe from dirt and dust as well. The lid fastens with both a sturdy zipper and snap & lock straps. The two side pockets are roomy enough for small accessories and secure via velcro closures. A full length pocket is located on the back that I use for thin manuals, etc. The bag comes in both black and grey colors.

The mounted loops for supporting lights or a small tripod is a nice add on. The handle is heavy duty all the way. The stitching is sound. The shoulder strap is nicely done and won't give up without a fight. The piggy back pocket feature easily allows for the bag to be mounted on wheeled luggage. It does come in handy. Unlike some of the stuff I've seen from the competition, the hardware is first rate. The metal D rings and hooks will last a lifetime.

A glowing indictment for the overall quality of Tamrac's products is the fact that in 17 years, I've never had to take advantage of their lifetime warranty against defects. Make no doubt about it, you pay for quality. In the long run, its a quality insurance that delivers big dividends in protecting my camera gear. I'm alright with that.
