Photographers who carry a Canon or Nikon prosumer SLR body without a grip and want soft, quick protection for the bag, the car or travel.
Your body has a battery grip installed, or it is a mirrorless or compact body outside the listed 6 x 4.5 x 3 inch size range.
A camera body spends most of its life in a bag, and that is where the nicks and scratches happen. The LensCoat BodyBag is a simple answer: a soft neoprene sleeve that wraps the body, closes with a Velcro flap and takes almost no room. We recommend it for photographers who want inexpensive, everyday protection that does not slow them down, particularly when the body travels loose in a backpack or a car.
Soft protection that stays out of the way
LensCoat makes the BodyBag from shock-absorbing neoprene, which cushions the camera against bumps and keeps dust and dirt off the body. The Velcro closure opens and shuts in a moment, so the camera is easy to pull out when a shot appears and just as easy to put away. It is light enough to leave on while you carry the camera in a bag, and because it is soft, it packs into corners that a hard case would not.
Check the fit before you order
The BodyBag is cut for prosumer bodies without a battery grip. LensCoat lists the Canon 10D through 80D, 5D through 5D Mark IV, 6D, 7D and 7D Mark II, and the Nikon D100 through D800E, D500, D600, D700 and D7000, and says it also suits SLR bodies of roughly 6 inches wide, 4.5 inches high and 3 inches deep. If your camera has a grip attached, or is much larger or smaller, a different LensCoat size or product is the better match. Our LensCoat lens cover review covers the matching protection for a long lens.
Colors
Black is the everyday choice, and it is also the lowest listed price. LensCoat also offers Forest Green, three Realtree camo patterns, Digital Army Camo, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple and Yellow. Camo helps when you shoot wildlife and want the camera to blend in, and a bright color makes the body easy to spot in a crowded bag.
Buying recommendation
Choose the LensCoat BodyBag if you own a listed Canon or Nikon SLR body without a grip and want light, quick protection for travel and storage. Skip it if you need a full camera bag with room for lenses, or if your body does not match the fit list.
