The Cloak can't fit five lenses, two strobes, battery packs and your kitchen sink. It isn't even that padded (*GASP*). What it lacks in packing gusto, it makes up for by being the simplest, always ready, camera toting invention ever. The world's first shoot-through camera bag."</em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1276190508.usr19541.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Although James Bond might have something to say about the Cloak being the "world's first shoot-through camera bag," the Photojojo Store does appear to have come up with yet another distinctive product. My initial reaction was "neat idea," followed by "looks awkward in use" - and then "Gee, wonder if using this setup increases chances of being picked up by police?" (whether for espionage or as a Peeping Tom!). Photojojo has a number of pictures, of course, but reading the <a href="http://cloakbags.com/story" target="_blank">"Cloak Bag Story"</a> on the manufacturer's website provides a better perspective as to why one might want to actually carry this around. Does the Cloak seem likely to prevent robbery or theft? Under what circumstances - if any - would you be willing to trust your camera to one?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
