Image Credit: Graham Sheldon / CineDĪt $219.00 the Shape bag, given the size, is on the lower end of the cost range when you take the size of the overall bag into account. There was also a heavy emphasis placed during design on usability for AC’s and that extends into a few interesting features (more on that later). For one, the final bag is the result of four generations of prototypes and heavy feedback from working AC’s and DP’s in the field. I spoke with Charles Vallieres, Vice President at Shape, before I began this review and he gave me a few interesting tidbits about the design process. The Shape Camera bag is mean’t to be a hybrid of both the camera coffin and assistant camera bags that are ubiquitous on set, but tend to vary widely in quality. Comment below if you disagree, but a solid and a little morbidly named “camera coffin” is tough to find and my camera teams most often turn to a simple tub/furniture pad combo - which certainly isn’t head turning while filming. Occasionally I’ve found myself focusing too much on the flashier high dollar cinema products and less on the nuts and bolts things that we rely on every single day while we’re on-location when it comes to reviews and oftentimes it’s those nuts and bolts equipment that truly improves your life while filming. Could the Shape camera bag be the one camera bag to rule them all? Let’s find out. I’m sure most of us have had experiences with both sides of that particular coin and when Shape announced their new relatively affordable camera bag my interest was immediately piqued. keyboard_arrow_rightCameras of the YearĪ good camera bag feels like a natural extension of your on-set workflow and a bad camera bag feels like it’s fighting you every step of the way and has a price tag that doesn’t match reality.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Budget.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Type.
