Yes, the internal rigid dividers are removable, allowing you to create a completely open space or customize the configuration to your exact needs.

How does the 'doctor' style opening work?

The 'doctor' style opening refers to a wide, clamshell-like opening that allows for very quick and easy access to the camera inside, resembling the way a doctor accesses their medical bag.

Is the bag waterproof?

The bag is designed to protect against the elements and offer significant durability, but it is not fully waterproof. It should be protected from heavy rain or submersion.

Can I attach this bag to a tripod dolly?

The bag does not have specific mounting points for tripods or dollies. It is designed primarily for handheld carrying via its handle or shoulder strap.

Troubleshooting

Bag does not close properly.

Check for any obstructions or items preventing the lid from closing fully. Ensure the internal dividers are not interfering with the closure mechanism.

Internal dividers are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the Velcro tabs are aligned correctly and try adjusting the angle of the divider. Avoid forcing the dividers.

Exterior shows signs of wear.

Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For deeper wear, consider a mild leather or fabric cleaner suitable for the material, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
