Orkio SLR camera bag

Can the modern styling of Orkio outshine its rivals?

Product

Orkio premium SLR camera bag

Promise

Orkio’s top-of-the-range bag keeps all your camera gear and other electronic goodies safe while you’re out shooting – but has it got the versatility of more established brands?

Performance

These have a great capacity for gear. At 440x250x190mm, they’re larger than most satchel-sized camera bags and could easily fit a couple of SLRs plus lenses and flashguns. We actually managed to fit our mini-tripod in there too, something we can’t do in our own bag! Inside there are two padded, movable dividers so you can separate the space and keep your gear from falling around, and a clever double-flap stops the rain getting in at the corners of the bag opening. Some nice detailing leaps out too: like a collapsible water bottle holder at the side, and a headphone socket built in to the side pocket.

Verdict

Gives its elder competitors a run for their money with its modern features and styling – worth checking out if you’re not a dyed-in-the-wool traditionalist.
