TARION

A softbox and a rucksack, 49 € and 68 €

Where it turns up

Softboxes and camera backpacks, at 49 € and 68 €.

Nine hundred and five grams, and eighty by twenty-one by five centimetres

The only weight and the only packed size on its shelf. Six other softbox pages describe their boxes without measuring them, and for a modifier carried to a location and back those are the two figures that decide whether it comes along.

Two diffusers and a grid, in the box

An inner baffle, a front face and a removable honeycomb — three layers to add or remove, which is three qualities of light from one purchase. The grid alone costs 13 € when bought separately on that shelf.

The rucksack that carries a laptop

Two bodies and five lenses across twelve compartments, a 14-inch sleeve on the back, side access without taking the bag off, a theft-resistant rear opening and a rain cover included. It is the only bag on its shelf that replaces the second bag.

    Best for: A Bowens head used for portraits and video where the light has to be shaped rather than merely softened, and where the box is folded away after every session.

TARION accessories reviewed here

  • TARION TR-L camera backpack with its side access open and rain cover beside it

    TARION TR-L, 2 bodies and 5 lenses, 14-inch laptop, rain cover

    Forty-nine euros for the only real rucksack here: two bodies, five lenses, a 14-inch laptop, side and rear access, and a rain cover in the box.

    Internal dimensions
    NOT PUBLISHED — the one omission on an otherwise thorough page. Capacity is given as equipment instead, in the first bullet: two cameras and five lenses, in what it calls an efficient interior design that keeps the bag compact
    Volume
    Not published
    Access design
    THE FULLEST ON THIS SHELF, in the second and third bullets: TWELVE compartments and pockets; SIDE ACCESS reaching the camera WITHOUT taking the bag off; and a THEFT-RESISTANT REAR opening into the main compartment — which is the arrangement that puts the zips against your own back when the bag is worn
    Divider system
    Described as an efficient interior design and never itemised. For two bodies and five lenses the dividers are the whole architecture, and the page leaves them to the photographs
    Laptop sleeve size
    14 INCHES, expandable, on the back — in the second bullet, and the ONLY laptop provision on this shelf. A rucksack that takes a laptop is a rucksack that replaces a second bag
    Tripod carry
    Not explicitly named, which on a rucksack of this capacity is surprising. The 41 € K&F here publishes underside straps for a light tripod
    Weather protection
    Two layers of answer, in the fifth bullet: water-repellent 1200D NYLON with very high tear and abrasion resistance, AND A WATERPROOF RAIN COVER INCLUDED. The cover is what separates water-repellent from waterproof, and it is in the box
    Empty weight
    Not published, as on all four bags on this shelf
    Amazon reference
    B09FL6XXSN (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    5060989790076
    • Two bodies and five lenses, with a 14-inch laptop sleeve — alone on this shelf
    • Side access without removing the bag, plus a theft-resistant rear opening
    • No internal dimensions and no volume published

    Best for: A full kit and a laptop carried on foot and through an airport, where the camera has to come out without the bag coming off.

    ≈ £60 / 49 €
