Crumpler Bags Offers New Style, Size, And Features For Their Most Popular Camera Bag Line

PMA – Las Vegas, Nevada – Crumpler is one of the fastest growing brand of camera, laptop, commuter and lifestyle bags in the world and it’s no doubt thanks to their ever changing and always strangely named line of bags to suit any need. Whether it’s their old photo backpack standby “The Whickey & Cox” or their new neck strap dubbed “The Jam Croissant - Industry Disgrace”. Their camera bags known as the “Million Dollar Homes”, span from the 1 Million Dollar Home, the smallest in the series, all the way up to 7 Million Dollar Home and Brazillion Dollar Home. Somewhere in between the largest and mother ship model rests the new and quite sought after 8 Million Dollar Home.            

Crumpler’s new 8 Million Dollar Home provides the logical bridge between the 7 Million and the Brazillion. It’s a newly renovated, low profile shoulder bag offering protection for all your photo or video gear. A new feature of the entire line is the ‘super stealth Velcro’ silencer for anyone who prefers those quieter photo expeditions!
The footprint is that of the 7 Mill but with added depth allowing one to vertically
stash a Pro D-SLR with lens attached. There’s room down the sides for your essential chunky zooms, primes and or speed lights. They’ve also thrown in a new configurable divider which transforms the 8 Million into a photo/laptop bag suitable to hold a 13” laptop along with your photo/video equipment. Loaded sensibly and sparingly, the 8 Million will facilitate the modern D-SLR in sport/portrait, shoot-to-thrill mode, whilst allowing stealthily secure yet accessible lens changes.

The Jam Croissant is a camera neck strap whose design borrows from hip hop and urban fashion. Its orange trim on flat grey pixilated camo make finding which camera is yours a snap. For more outdoorsy photogs, Crumpler also makes a matching hydration pack, the Bumper Issue.

"Stealth is the key here," says Lindsay Cousley, president of Crumpler US, "Ninja is our middle name!"

Crumpler bags are available at their retail stores, online at www.crumplerbags.com, and through selected specialty retailers nationwide.
