Petrol, a Vitec Group brand, introduces the Broadcast Trailer Professional Backpack – a rugged new camera carrier especially designed to transport full-size broadcast cameras like the Sony F900R and Panasonic AG-HPX500.

Ideal for traveling or hiking into hard to reach locations, the Broadcast Trailer is ergonomically equipped with padded shoulder straps and adjustable sternum and waist straps to ensure correct weight distribution and enable more comfortable carrying.  Cushioned back support is provided for optimal spinal comfort.  A convenient collapsible cover shields and protects the Broadcast Trailer’s integral backpack system when it is not in use. 

The carrier’s two main compartments are well padded to safeguard sensitive equipment. Six removable dividers offer extra protection and create cavities for organizing a camera light, batteries, cables, or other accessories, as well as a special oversized pocket for carrying a camera plate. Inside the upper chamber, internal adjustable binding straps and Petrol’s proprietary sliding pipe system (SPS) secure the camera and keep it firmly – and safely – in place. A viewfinder compartment is reinforced with cold-molded laminate panels for extra protection. The zippered lower compartment’s detachable divider system can be removed to create ample room for other belongings. Additional features include 9 exterior pockets for additional storage and Petrol’s dual directional easy-glide zippers. The exterior is constructed of heavy duty water resistant blue and black Cordura and tough ballistic nylon.

List price for the Broadcast Trailer Professional Backpack (#PCBP-2N) is $425.
