Homemade Bag Quietly Protects Your Expensive Camera

If there’s a reason not to pay for brands like Crumpler, it’s how much attention their products can attract. That’s why this stealthy camera bag project on the Wired How-To Wiki is worth a look. Made out a surplus army bag and store-bought foam, making the nondescript but protective camera bag is a simple matter of cutting the foam to size and stuffing it into the canvas bag’s compartments. Expect to spend $30 at most, and a little of your time for this home crafting project.

Whether it’s bright colors, stylized appearance, or that distinctive logo, those gadget bags can broadcast your expensive toy’s existence to thieves. It’s conceivable that creative minds can adapt this project for laptops or gaming consoles. The point is to take the less boastful route, while keeping your hardware relatively safe and sound.
