Wotancraft’s new Armor Module series makes it easier for users to customize the company’s Pilot Series carrying solutions to fit their specific needs.

Inspired by World War II tactical bags, the Armor Module Series promises versatility and new ways to expand the company’s Piot Series products, a personal favorite of PetaPixel‘s Chris Niccolls. Wotancraft’s Pilot Series includes numerous carrying solutions for photographers, such as a new 18-liter Travel Camera Backpack and 7-liter Pilot Travel Camera bag, among others.

The new Armor Modules are external add-ons for storing and organizing gear, joining the company’s existing interior modules. The new Armor Module series products attach to Pilot Series bags using MOLLE loops and Velcro patches and include their own spots to carry tools, attach zipper pulls, and store additional gear.

For example, the Armor 01 adds a quick access mesh pocket to a bag, while Armor 02 fits small items like lens caps or batteries. The Armor 04 is bigger and can store a compact camera. The Armor 07 and 09 are even bigger, able to fit small cameras, smartphones, and large lens filters. In total, there are 13 Armor Module products, ranging in price from $19 to $49. All of them are compatible with Pilot Series bags, plus Wotancraft’s Canteener and EasyPack bags.
