Tamrac Launches Hoodoo Series with Two Camera Bags

Tamrac has introduced two camera bags as part of its new Hoodoo product lineup. The Hoodoo 18 and Hoodoo 20 packs are described as being 'minimal and lightweight' with features including a water-resistant waxed canvas exterior, PU coated ripstop fabrics, and selective padding for comfort.

These two new Tamrac bags are designed for use in the great outdoors, and come in two different sizes, with the Hoodoo 18 bag being the smaller of the two. The Hoodoo 18 bag can carry a mirrorless camera or DSLR as well as one or two lenses and a 13-inch laptop. The camera compartment is separate from the bag's main compartment.

The Hoodoo 20, meanwhile, is described as 'three packs in one,' able to serve as a camera shoulder bag, day pack, or protective camera backpack, depending on the need. Customizable interior dividers can be adjusted to accommodate a mirrorless system or DSLR, while the upper portion includes space for personal gear and a 15-inch laptop.

Both bags are available now in 'ocean,' 'kiwi,' and 'pumpkin' colors. The Hoodoo 18 is priced at $89.95 USD, and the Hoodoo 20 at $129.95 USD.
