Tyler Mathers chooses Petrol DSLR-Computer Backpack
Petrol™ Treks Through Columbia for Mathers and National Geographic Television
December 1, 2011 – When Producer/Associate Producer Tyler Mathers takes off for parts unknown for a National Geographic Television shoot, one of the first things he makes sure is in working order is his DSLR/Personal Computer Backpack by Petrol Bags, a Vitec Group brand.
“Recently, I traveled to Columbia for a shoot with a small documentary team – just myself and three others,” he explains. “Because we had such few people, I had a lot of responsibilities, including B-camera. I was using a Canon 5D so, it was essential to tote that around as well as my Powerbook and my giant folder of paperwork.
“Thankfully, I had my Petrol Bags DSLR Backpack!” he adds. “It’s perfectly designed for that kind of field work and any Associate Producer would be happy to have this bag along on their trip. It’s small yet, has a slot for my laptop and paperwork, and then a couple of heavily-padded spaces for the camera body and my lenses. (I had two with me). On the outside is a pair of slots for filters. On the inside there are pockets for my batteries, memory cards, pens and the like. I love this bag because everything I need to worry about is conveniently located at my fingertips. And it’s light, comfortable, and water-resistant.
When traveling with a laptop and an DSLR camera – this is the bag everyone should have!”
