The tripod and ballhead that you’ve got on the Kiboko bag look very interesting. I’ve been looking for a second tripod and head – my Manfrotto tripod is nice and heavy for the 360 panoramas that I do but it is not nice to carry outdoors for any length of time.

Very informative and fun-to-read website as well. You clearly enjoy what you’re doing and that is brilliant.

I love my ranger (twin head) … ended up buying the adapter to use with standard softboxes etc … what I’m lacking is a great bag for carying the kit … any sugestions are welcome.

David the ranger looks like a killer setup for shooting on location. I have been thinking of getting something like it. What other systems have you looked at and are they in the same price range? The battery is a lot smaller looking than say the white lightning set up.

“I would not like to be seen wearing that and then pulling my camera/gun out in a warzone” was what I was thinking. But then, I’m not a warzone photojournalist =P

I’m thinking “safe” as in “not getting shot” – a safari will be fine, wear what you like. But not every place in the world is it a good idea to look military, if you know what I’m saying.

Thanks David
When you say ‘safe’ do you mean safe from theft or getting in the way? I am thinking of our trip in Jan to Kenya.

@Maureen – Totally different things. I love my R-Strap but there are times I don’t want to use a strap at all, or times when a camera dangling on a strap just isn’t safe – so I imagine the Cotton Carrier excelling in these situations. But I really haven’t done more than play with it in my office, so I’m only guessing at this point. I think for some applications this is a killer product. For others I’d feel self-conscious looking so para-military, but remember I travel and shoot in places where this isn’t just a fashion issue, it’s a safety issue, so I might be more sensitive to it.

How does the Cotton carrier compare to the R-strap?

@Anita – I thought the same thing. In fact before I knew it was named after the maker, I was like “Cotton Carrier? What is this some kind of Baby Bjorn for cameras? That’s silly!” But you can hardly make fun of the name if it’s someone’s name. Still, a re-branding might be good

And yes, they are different bags. VERY different. And I need more of them
