i am currently looking for finalizing the designs for my new dslr insert bags. why? now a days you will never know what will happen if you will bring a dslr bag that is screaming for attention. i am designing an insert bag so i can transform a regular bag like your purse or a regular backpack to a camera bag. so you will have a low profile type of bag that won't scream for an attention and will keep your gear safe. most camera bags and even laptop bags are very recognizable. and by bringing or carrying these type of bag could jeopardize your gears and your very own safety. who knows you might get mag when you step out side the street or when you are trying to ride at the tube. safety is everything, especially if you are a travel photographer and your shooting at places like around southeast asia. i am designing a bag that could camouflage your gear so you don't have to worry about them and focus your attention to your shoots. right now the only problem i have are the material that i will be using. especailly the fabric. do you have any idea what would be a good fabric of a bag?

That's what's difficult in our country. You cannot just bring those bags without getting the attention of those bad people who just wants to grab and steal your things. Good luck with the bag and hopefully it can be unnoticed so you can freely roam around without those people getting interested on your stuff.

hope so. i know people who are doing this type of bags and somehow it works for them they even have this cool purse camera bags that they make their own inserts. they say that no body will really notice this given that you are just using an ordinary bag. i am just making the insert bag or insert as we all called. it like a dividers that has thick padding that you will put inside an ordinary bag to protect your gears.

Bags - can be made with good quality thick cloth, jute, plastic wires and all these. normally leather or rexin is also used as a material for bags. good day.

i am making a camera bag... so it's not just a bag it needs more padding for support. i am carrying expensive gears and i think it's really wise to use a material that will support the weight of the gears.

I'm not really sure. Would some kind of vinyl work?
