Camera bags are hardly ideal. As a result of my own experience traveling and practicing photography, I felt it was my responsibility to reconsider every aspect of carrying and using cameras and created CAPSULE as a project during my industrial design studies.
When walking around, looking for interesting and sometimes transient situations, you can attach the camera directly to the bottom of the bag itself or onto the shoulder strap with a self-connecting magnetic Fidlock coupler for the fastest accessibility.
The project's primary objective was to make CAPSULE as adaptable as possible.
The bag can be carried over the shoulder, like a shoulder bag, for quicker access, or mounted on the back as a backpack for a more comfortable weight distribution. Using the magnetic clips, the straps can be simply recoupled to accomplish this.

These were my four key elements for the project to be a useful camera bag.
CAPSULE's main compartment fits a professional camera with one attached medium-sized lens besides another lens; the top compartment fits situational tools such as a smaller lens or a flash; along with other small accessories, they are located in the back compartment. Additionally, either a larger tele-lens case or a tripod holder connects to the magnetic connecting points.
The bag is not designed to not be an eye-catcher considering the expensive insides. The outer layer is made of waterproof and cutproof coated fabric, securing the insides against rain, dust, and other damaging outer influences. Inside, there are formed foam elements securing all the insides. Touchpoints are highlighted in yellow, and the CAPSUE logo is a phosphorescent print in this particular prototype.
