The new Samas Cases SRK camera bags offer operators and assistants plenty of space to store their tools. Available in four different sizes, they feature an internal rigid frame with adjustable dividers, three large zipped pockets on the outside, and multiple carrying methods. They are now available for purchase, starting at €100.
Samas Cases is an Italian company specializing in the manufacture of camera bags for the film and TV industry. Aside from cases and bags, they also produce accessories for professionals working in the camera and lighting departments, such as camera assistant pouches, belts, pads, and more.
The company has recently introduced a new line of camera bags, the Samas Cases SRK series. These new products target 1st ACs, focus pullers and camera operators looking for a convenient way to carry their tools to sets. Let’s take a closer look.
This new line of camera bags consists of 4 different models: the SRK 100, 75, 50, and 25. All bags feature a rigid internal frame, whose size varies between 34x23x18cm (SRK 25) and 50x26x25cm (SRK 100). The frame is reinforced with 5mm plastic panels and 20mm rubber.
Overall, the bags feature a simple design. The anthracite exteriors are made of water-proof 1000 denier Cordura, which should provide enough protection against wear and tear. The interiors are made of black velvet and seem to offer plenty of room to store cameras, lenses, or other accessories. The internal dividers are adjustable to easily adapt to the size and shape of your gear.
Furthermore, three large zipped pockets on the outside provide additional storage space, while a transparent zipped pouch hides beneath the lid. An adjustable elastic string on the top can be used to host a slate or similarly-shaped accessories.
The SRK camera bags can be carried comfortably, using either the padded shoulder strap or a pair of leather handles. And, all bags can quickly be turned into a backpack, when adding a second shoulder strap.
The new SRK 100, 75, 50, and 25 camera bags are now available for purchase from the manufacturer’s website. They currently retail for €160, €140, €120, and €100, respectively. All bags are handmade in Italy and are covered by a 2-year warranty.
