ProMaster Unveils Jasper Camera Bag Collection
A thoughtfully designed camera bag that converts to a backpack to change with your everyday lifestyle.
FAIRFIELD, CT - April 7, 2020: ProMaster, a leading brand in high-quality accessories for still photography and videography, announces Jasper: a new collection of camera bags with unconventional looks, worldly charm, and practical functionality. Thoughtfully designed to cater to the desires of commuters, world travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, Jasper bags look great, feel comfortable, and protect your precious gear.
Comprised of three sizes—Small Satchel, Medium Satchel, and Halfpack—Jasper bags are available in three stylish colors of semi-soft fabric. Choose from the deep hues of Midnight Blue, the muted depths of Prairie Green, or the classic elegance of Black.
“Jasper is an intentional style departure from our other offerings,” said Paul Orzel, ProMaster’s Director of Product Development. “It’s a beautiful collection of camera bags that don’t look like camera bags.”
Jasper Satchels are slender, courier-style bags that hug the body and hold a sizeable amount of camera gear and accessories. Unique features allow for the silent operation of the bag; a design cornerstone that wedding, newborn, and wildlife photographers will appreciate.
The Satchel’s shoulder strap connects to a durable fabric loop sewn into the bag. This system prevents the clinking or clacking of metal-on-metal found in other camera bags. Two sets of anchor points give users the flexibility to wear the bag over-the-shoulder or cross-body.
The main camera compartment is accessible in two ways. A vinyl-coated YKK zipper runs along the top of the bag. Alternatively, unhook the front flap’s metal hooks from the fabric ladder system and fold the flap up and open. The zipper is reasonably quiet by design, while the metal hooks are dead-silent to operate. Once inside, you’ll find a fully removable camera bag insert with customizable dividers, and a tablet pocket. Additional accessory storage is located on the inside and outside of the flap.
A slender compartment formed along the length and width of the Satchel’s back features three accessory pockets that are ideal for a trail map, filters, cable release, and other slim items. This pocket is accessed without having to open the rest of the Satchel and employs a small magnetic closure.
Jasper Halfpacks are daypack-style bags with enough room for camera gear, accessories, a laptop, and much more. Lined with soft, padded fabric, the shoulder harness system and back of the pack allows for hours of comfortable use.
The camera gear compartment is located in the lower half of the bag and is accessible via a secure YKK zipper on the back of the pack. The generous number of internal dividers provides enhanced flexibility when customizing the compartment. The removable camera insert reveals a large storage area, which is helpful when using the Halfpack for non-photo purposes.
Additional accessory storage is on the inside of the camera gear compartment flap. The lower front of the bag opens to reveal small accessory pockets, pen storage, and a small clasp to connect a set of keys.
The upper compartment of the Jasper Halfpack is held shut by two metal hooks that connect to a fabric ladder system. These various loops enable the user to adjust the size of the upper compartment (larger or smaller) to accommodate the contents best. An integrated YKK zipper provides additional security. Inside the top compartment is open storage space, terrific for holding large photographic accessories and daily essentials like a change of clothes, food, a journal, and much more. The integrated laptop sleeve fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, and various small pockets accommodate additional accessories.
All three models of Jasper bags sport a luggage handle pass-through strap on the back of the case. Two pockets on the bag’s sides provide more places to stash essential items like a small water bottle, tabletop tripod, speedlight, and more. On the bottom of the Satchels and Halfpacks is a removable tripod harness that uses quick-release buckles for fast attachment and deployment of the tripod.
Jasper bags are proudly designed in the United States and sold at the finest camera stores in North America and Australia. Retail prices are $99.95 for the Small Satchel, $119.95 for the Medium Satchel, and $149.95 for the Halfpack. A complete list of specifications is available at www.promaster.com.
