Accessories

CRDBAG is a new Swedish company that specializes in creating storage solutions for photographers and filmmakers. The company has just released its first two products: CRDPOUCH and CRDWALL. Let’s take a closer look at these!

I think there are two kinds of people in the photo/video world: ones that throw all their gear in all types of bags without caring much, and ones that are obsessed with organization and storage. I’m part of the second group, and I love to store my gear nice and clean with all its dedicated accessories in a dedicated bag.

As a long-time user of the Think Tank Cable Management series of pouches, I was curious to check what these new CRDBAG products have to offer.

CRDBAG CRDPOUCH features

Let’s start with the CRDPOUCH, which are a set of pouches available in four different sizes:

• CRDPOUCH SMALL: 10 x 23 x 0.5 cm / 3.9″ x 9″ x 0.2″ for a weight of 95g/0.2 lbs.
• CRDPOUCH MEDIUM: 15 x 28 x 0.5 cm / 5.9″ x 11″ x 0.2″ for a weight of 115g/0.25 lbs.
• CRDPOUCH LARGE: 20 x 33 x 0.5 cm / 7.9″ x 13″ x 0.2″ for a weight of 145g/0.32 lbs.
• CRDPOUCH EXTRA LARGE: 25 x 43 x 0.5 cm/ 9.8″ x 17″ x 0.2″ that tips the scale at 195g/0.43 lbs.

As you can tell, all pouches have the same depth of only 0.5cm/0.2″, so they are skinny. It can be an advantage and a bad point if you’re trying to store large items, especially inside the LARGE/XL models.

The CRDPOUCH is made of Cordura, which is a very durable material. In front of the pouches, there is a semi-transparent panel so you can quickly identify what’s inside.

Talking about gear identification, this kind of plastic panel lets you put gaffer tape/labels that help identify your gear quickly. All pouches are closed by a weather-resistant YKK zipper.

On the outside, you’ll also find a custom Apple AirTag pocket, as well as a tactical hook for hanging the pouch in different ways.

You’ll find a zipped inner organizer pocket on the inside, which can be useful for batteries/memory cards/screws, or any other small items.

CRDBAG CRDWALL announced

CRDBAG also announced the CRDWALL, which is a wall-mounted modular system to hang your gear. This system consists of two bars – which is very similar to truck tie-down systems – and 8 hooks on each bar. Then, there is a cord to attach your gear.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of hanging up my camera equipment in the air, especially because there is a risk it might fall if not attached correctly, but also because it’ll probably ruin my drywall’s paint behind the gear.

Price and availability

The CRDPOUCH are available now in different 4 pack kits:

• CRDPOUCH 4 sizes kit: $129
• CRDPOUCH 4 PACK (SMALL): $108
• CRDPOUCH 4 PACK (MEDIUM): $119
• CRDPOUCH 4 PACK (LARGE): $139
• CRDPOUCH 4 PACK (EXTRA LARGE): $149

As a direct comparison, the Think Tank Cable Management 10 V2.0, which is close to the CRDPOUCH Medium, retails for $19.75 each, so $79 for a 4 pack.

The CRDWALL will be available in Q4 2021 for around $200.
