Manfrotto Stile Collection: Bella VI Shoulder Bag (Limited Edition)

The limited edition Stile Collection: Bella VI Shoulder Bag from Manfrotto is slightly larger than the Bella V. What makes this bag extra special is the handsome union jack on its front flap in honor the 2012 London Olympics. It's a street shooting bag with a storage capacity of a DSLR and up to four lenses, plus flash and some accessories.

It's a lightweight, water-repellent bag that you can take just about anywhere. The exterior is, as mentioned, water-repellent nylon, so if you're out for that Sunday walk in the park and it suddenly rains or snows, your bag is protected. It's carried by a comfortable, wide shoulder strap, or by its nifty top grab handle.

Inside, your gear is safely stored between two touch fastened padded dividers that can be configured to suit your shooting needs. A nice feature of the Bella VI is that you can keep your camera positioned at the ready, with lens attached. If you're traveling with only the camera and affixed lens and, perhaps, a flash, one of the dividers will fold out of the way making it easy to get your hand around the camera for rapid extraction. In addition to the main storage compartment, Manfrotto has included a front zippered pocket that will hold batteries, cables and memory cards. There is also room in the accessory pocket for your Manfrotto pocket tripod.

At a modest price, the Bella VI can be your everyday bag when you only need a minimum of equipment for the day. It is warranted by Manfrotto against manufacturer's defects.
