Compact, Protective Camera Insert for Mirrorless & Non-Gripped DSLR Kits

Advanced Protective Construction

EVA Protective Shell & Dividers

• High-density EVA laminated sidewalls

• EVA dividers

• Precision construction for thinner yet stronger walls

This provides superior protection while maximising usable interior space.

Multi-Purpose Removable Skin

The included lightweight Skin serves three functions:

1. Dust-proof storage case when gear is at home

2. Packing cell for clothing or travel items

3. Lightweight transport solution inside a carry-on or roller

Keeps your Core Unit protected even when not inside a backpack.
