FAQs
Can I fit a full-frame DSLR with a battery grip?
The BYOB 10 is designed to fit cameras up to a 70-200mm 2.8 lens attached. A full-frame DSLR with a battery grip might be too large; it's best to measure your camera dimensions and compare them with the insert's internal space.
What is the difference between the BYOB 10 and BYOB 9?
The BYOB 10 is larger and can accommodate more gear, including longer lenses like the 70-200mm 2.8. The BYOB 9 models are slimmer and designed for smaller camera bodies and shorter lenses.
Is the insert waterproof?
The exterior is made from water-repellent material, which offers protection against light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided.
How do I clean the interior dividers?
You can gently vacuum the interior or use a soft brush. For minor stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the interior dries completely before placing your camera back inside.
Can I use this insert in a duffel bag?
Yes, the soft shell design allows it to conform to the shape of duffel bags, providing camera protection within that type of luggage.
Does it come with shoulder straps?
No, the BYOB insert is designed to be placed inside another bag and does not come with its own shoulder straps. It relies on the straps of the bag you are using it with.
Troubleshooting
Insert does not fit well in my bag.
The soft shell design allows for some flexibility. Try repositioning the insert or adjusting the contents of your bag to accommodate its shape. For very small bags, consider a smaller BYOB model.
Camera feels too tight within the compartment.
Rearrange the internal dividers to create a slightly larger space. Ensure no undue pressure is being applied to the camera or lens.
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant designed for zippers if the issue persists.
Water bottle is not secure in the side pocket.
Ensure the water bottle is not excessively large or heavy for the stretchy mesh. Position it carefully within the pocket and test its stability before carrying.
