New Petrol Bags
First up is the Mini Camback, the professional camera backpack designed to safely transport the Sony PD-170, HVR-Z1U, HDRFX1, HVR-A1U, Panasonic DVX-100/A/B, AG-HVX200, and similar size HDV camcorders. Ergonomically contoured for optimal spinal comfort and featuring foam-filled breast and hip straps, the Mini Camback also touts removable dividers and end straps to hold cameras of different sizes, an interior zippered compartment to shelter the camera’s optics, a zippered basement pocket with auxiliary pouch, interior side panel pockets, dual directional easy-glide zippers, exterior straps for carrying a tripod, and a rugged Cordura-constructed exterior.
For those who prefer a shoulder-slung carrying case, Petrol offers the Camporter for use with the same cameras as the Mini Camback. Similarly constructed with heavy-duty Cordura and ballistic nylon, the Camporter features dual-padded wingflaps, a generously-sized main compartment, an anterior chamber for accessories, a removable rigid divider, interior front and rear mesh dividers, exterior side pockets, bottom risers, dual-directional zippers, an adjustable, ergonomic, padded shoulder strap, and an interlock carrying handle. Petrol also offers the PUBP harness for carrying the Camporter backpack style.
Expanding its line of camera U-Bags, the PCUB-HD HDV U-Bag is tailored especially for the JVC GY-HD100, Canon XL H1, and similar size camcorders. Featuring Petrol’s proprietary ultra-wide U opening, the PCUB-HD’s floor, viewfinder, and mic compartments are reinforced with cold-molded laminate panels for additional sheltering, and bottom risers offer protection from below. Additionally, the PCUB-HD features an expandable end compartment to accommodate HDV camcorders of varying lengths, exterior pockets, a removable soft auxiliary pouch, U-Grip ergonomic interlock handle, a padded shoulder strap, and Cordura construction.
Constructed of sturdy 100-percent waterproof nylon, Petrol HDV Raincovers are available in three models: the PRC-XL fits the Canon XL H1/XL-1/XL-2, JVC GY-HD100 and similar size cameras; the PRC-S-HDV is custom tailored for the Sony HR-Z1U, HDR-FX1, and HVR-A1U; and the PRC-PA (DVX)-N is for the Panasonic AG-HVX200 and DVX100/A/B. All of the Raincovers are equipped with extra-large, clear side vinyl windows for easy viewing of camera controls and cassette opening. Also, a special opening for sun guns is equipped with a thermoforming gasket to keep out dampness, and other features include a contoured auxiliary raincover to protect flip-out monitor screens while in the open position.
Lastly in the way of camera accessories, the PMH-A1U Micro Hood is designed especially for the Sony HVR-A1U HDV camcorder. Made of lightweight, rigid material, the Micro Hood fits neatly over the camera’s LCD monitor for comfortable and easy viewing, particularly in bright sunlight.
And finally, Petrol has introduced the Lightporter lightweight, padded, semi-hard carrier for transporting portable lighting equipment and keeping it organized on the job. Covered in durable, water-resistant Cordura, the Lightporter is available in two sizes: the PLPR-4 holds up to three heads and three light stands with a maximum length of 28”, and the PLPR-5 accommodates up to four heads plus four stands no longer than 35”. Features of both bags include dual-directional zippers, detachable dividers, a padded internal zippered compartment for stands, an exterior side accessory pocket, an ergonomic interlock carrying handle, a padded shoulder strap, and side handles. Also, the Lightporter can easily fit on a standard luggage cart for convenient, roll-away toting.
