Problems solved by technology

However, as the photographers' arsenal of photographic equipment grows, so does the size and number of the photography bags, carry-ons and backpacks used by the photographers.

Such carrying is bulky, heavy, shifts the load of the arsenal of photographic equipment onto one shoulder of the photographer, and very often results in injury to the photographers' neck, back and shoulders.

In addition, such carrying and the structure of the bags and carry-ons prevents easy and quick access to important photographic equipment, as the need arises.

Finally, such carrying and structure of the bags and carry ons, results in the loss of creative photographs due to the absence of a key piece of equipment necessary to capture the image for the creative photograph, for the simple reason that the bags are either so small or so bulky that the equipment was never packed, or even worse, was left behind.

However none of these devices have been able to totally and completely solve the problems set forth herein above.
