FAQs
Can I store my camera with a matte box attached?
Yes, the backpack's design allows for storage with the camera, baseplate, microphone, and/or matte box already attached.
Do I need to rebalance my gimbal every time I take it out?
No, the Cineluxe Pro Gimbal Backpack is designed so you can store your gimbal in its balanced configuration, eliminating the need for rebalancing when moving locations.
How does the doctor bag opening help in tight spaces?
The doctor bag opening is extra wide but keeps a small footprint even when open, meaning it doesn't take up more space than when closed, making it ideal for confined shooting environments.
What are the Hypalon straps for?
The four Hypalon straps on the exterior are designed for securely fastening the gimbal ring to the outside of the backpack.
Are there separate compartments for lenses?
The backpack includes a protective pouch and wraps for lenses and delicate accessories, allowing them to be stored safely within the main compartment.
What is the main advantage of this backpack over a standard camera bag?
Its primary advantage is the ability to transport and deploy a fully configured and balanced gimbal system rapidly, saving significant setup time on location.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper track is free of dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to help it glide smoothly.
Camera or gimbal does not fit comfortably.
Review the backpack's internal dimensions against your camera and gimbal setup. Ensure accessories are packed efficiently to maximize space, or consider if your setup exceeds the intended capacity.
Hypalon straps feel loose.
Check if the straps are properly threaded and secured. Ensure any buckles or fasteners are fully engaged. If the material itself appears worn, contact Tenba for support.
Exterior of the bag is dirty.
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow the bag to air dry completely.
