This could be a good design, but perhaps some sort of cover over all the modules could be created. This would mean less is seen from onlookers which adds to the security of the product (which is an essential for travellers) and if you have some sort of draw string system (would obviously need work on) to pull everything in tigher to the body it would mean the contents are closer to your body (which is better for the back) and it gives the bag a sleeker, less bulk look

I do still think the module idea is a good design if made from light materials.
An opportunity could be for backpackers/hikers so as to organise their packs

Nice! Looking forward to seeing that, AG. If you’ve got a product announcement list when that comes out, put me on it ( jj at jjtiziou.net )

Oh also on the modular thing – the folks at Tactical Tailor make some really nice gear, and their Malice clips make a pretty decent attachment system. Very sturdy, but a bit of a hastle to unclip. Of course, making an attachment system that is both very easily detached and yet impossible to *accidentally* detach is a decent design challenge… http://www.tacticaltailor.com –

Hi JJ,

Thanks for the comments. Yes, i got the idea of a odular bag from photographer’s bag too. One of the objective in the project was to design something that Quiksilver can expand its product range from, and adventure photography was one of them

JJ,

I designed this last year for a major photography case company. The belt is part of a larger backpack system, but the belt is removable. Then, you can wear the belt, and take off modular parts of the backpack, so you can quickly access and reconfigure these ‘pods’. Two of the photo pods are 100% waterproof as well. You can purchase additional pods for your needs. It is all adjustable and customizable on the fly. The idea was for adventure backpacker/photographers. This allows you to hike a mountain, set up basecamp, leave your backpack, take off the hipbelt, and attach your necessary photo equipment for day hikes to snap killer photos, rather than lug around your entire backpack full of hiking gear.

No, by contract I’m not allowed to post any of the artwork before it is available to the consumer market.

Look for it to hit the market this year.
