Petrol, a Vitec Group brand, introduces the Petrol Red Bag (PRB-15), an innovative new camera carrier specifically designed to transport and protect the Red One digital camera.

The Red Bag’s dual directional upside down zippers open smoothly for quick and easy access to the smartly designed interior. Inside, a removable upper tray with detachable dividers provides the perfect place to stash the Red One’s essential accessories. Rugged nylon handgrips on either side of the tray allow for easy removal and carrying. Underneath, the Red One fits comfortably in the bag’s lower padded compartment. When a panel is removed from the upper accessory tray, the camera can be stored without disturbing the viewfinder. An adjustable nylon strap holds the camera firmly -- and safely -- in place. Four detachable padded dividers help secure the compartment’s contents and form pockets for additional storage.

The PRB-15 comes equipped with a separate fabric sleeve to hold the Red One’s steel support rods. With the rods inside, the sleeve stores neatly against the lower chamber’s middle divider. An external envelope-style pocket keeps important documents close at hand. Additional features include an internal envelope-style pocket of clear plastic mesh, Petrol’s built-in, smooth-gliding wheel and tote assembly, Griplock interlocking top carrying handle, and a padded shoulder strap. Petrol’s exclusive thermoformed panels of cold-molded laminate and injection-molded polypropylene legs safeguard the bottom of the bag from dirt or water. The exterior is constructed of black ballistic nylon and Cordura.

U.S. list price for the new Petrol Red Bag (PRB-15) is $499. For further information on this and other Petrol products, please go to www.petrolbags.com or contact: Petrol, 709 Executive Blvd., Valley College, NY 10989, Phone: 845-268-0100, Fax: 845-268-0113, Email:  info-cd-usa@vitecgroup.com
