Title: If I got to design a compact photo shoulder bag what would it look like? Here It Is!!
Post by: flyingwithfish on August 25, 2009, 12:37:18 pm

...last week I wrote about the new Mountainsmith KitCube (http:/kitcube.notlong.com) which I dreamed up years ago, lobbied for to Mountainsmith and helped design earlier this year to improve the use of the Mountainsmith Tour & Mountainsmith Day packs which are popular with many photogs.

...well the second part of this project can be seen now with the Mountainsmith Endeavor bag.

Mountainsmith had asked me what I'd do if I could design a compact 'day' shoulder bag for photogs. I sat down and mapped out my ideal compact shoulder bag ...and what I got in return is pretty darn close to what I envisioned.

You can check out the new Mountainsmith Endeavor at http://MtnsmithEndeavor.notlong.com (http://MtnsmithEndeavor.notlong.com)



Disclaimer: While I have developed a relationship with Mountainsmith; was asked to join their consulting design board and have no had a heavy hand in designing certain products I do not work for Mountainsmith. I receive no financial compensation from Mountainsmith and if a bag sells or flops I have absolutely no financial stake in it.

For those of you who thought I was making a commission off my previous post regarding the Mountainsmith Kit Cube...think again. I am just a very happy user of Mountainsmith's products and am happy to help design products that make the life of photogs easiers (and selfishly get products I want to use made so I can have what I like :0) )

Thanks! I'll take a closer look at that. Appreciate yousharing your thoughts.

My wife knows I'm a bagaholic. This one is worth looking at.

I'm also a 'bagaholic', in the sense that I haven't until recently found a bag that does most of what I want. I must currently have ten at least that are surplus to requirements. But now I'm a big fan of Think Tank bags and their whole concept of camera bags, construction, and ergonomics. But I'll have a look at your bag and see if it can beat Think Tank in any areas.
