While this might not be the area of film and video production most direly in need of innovation and change, it never hurts to see new companies come in with fresh ideas and energy.

And while familiar names like Pelican with their travel cases and others might still be the top option, if you’re interested in exploring some new ones, then this Crew Gear Box bag series from the Chinese company OPENMOON is quite intriguing.

Currently available to support on Kickstarter, let’s look at the OPENMOON Crew Gear Box and explore its goal of becoming a new mobile basecamp for filmmakers.

So, the main calling card of this bag series is that, while it might technically be a “bag,” it’s not your usual soft and floppy bag. The Crew Gear Box is more of a hybrid soft-and-hard case with a rigid structure and locked layout, which should ultimately enable faster set workflows and greater protection and durability.

The Kickstarter page is very focused on its “rigid outside, cushioned inside” promise and explains how a layered protection system can provide solid support for your lenses, cameras, and other tools and gear.

The other main goal is fast access for fast-moving sets and on-the-run shoots. Along with the structured interior, the bag has some quick-access tool pockets. Also, not for nothing, another neat aspect is that the bag appears to strap easily onto rolling suitcases or utility cases, so traveling with it should be quite manageable.
