New Petrol HDV Camera Bags

[Tim Tyler]

Petrol, producer of professional bags and protection for production equipment, introduces the HDV WingBag and WingRoll: two lightweight, versatile camera bags tailored especially for the new Sony HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1 camcorders.

 

The HDV WingBag is constructed of heavy duty Cordura and ultra-tough ballistic nylon over multi-layered walls of shock-absorbent foam padding. Reinforced panels provide extra protection and durability. Petrol's innovative design features lengthwise zippered "sidewings" that open to a large central cushioned compartment separated by a semirigid divider. On one side, a camcorder fits snugly, secured by a sturdy nylon strap. Opposite, a second chamber provides ample room for batteries, chargers, cables and other accessories. The divider's padded pouches are removable for extra space: enough to hold a laptop.

 

For additional storage, each sidewing is equipped with a flexible interior mesh divider and a roomy exterior pocket. Other features include front and rear accessory pockets, adjustable ergonomic padded shoulder strap, top handle, exterior accessory straps, and heavy duty dual-directional zippers for fast and easy access. The HDV WingRoll bag features Petrol's telescoping, square-frame tote bar and inline skate wheels for smooth roll-along toting without play or jiggle.

 

The HDV WingBag is 17.7" (45cm) long, 6.9" (17.5cm) wide, 6.1" (15.5cm) high, and weighs just 106.9 oz. (3.03kg). Suggested U.S. List Price is $199. The HDV WingRoll is 18.3" (46.5cm) long, 6.3" (16.8cm) wide, 9.6" (24.5cm) high, and weighs 142.9 oz. (4.05kg). Suggested U.S. List Price is $229.
