Here at Chicken Tramper we have spent years perfecting our ability to make the perfect bag to fit your camera. With a few simple dimensions we are able to make a camera bag that will fit your kit like a glove. Measure your camera carefully and round the dimensions up to the nearest 1/8". Please measure in inches or convert your measurement to inches afterward. Be sure to read all of the information on this page carefully including the 3 slides above outlining the color options and how to measure you camera. We will design and make a bag based off the numbers you input, be sure to understand what is expected of you and please double check your dimensions!
You are able to customize the color, size and attachment style of the bag. Our three attachment options are outlined below. We also offer the option for extra padding (1/4" closed cell foam) and daisy chain on the side panel (future compatible with our upcoming product, The CTUG Lens Bag).
Lead time on Custom Camera Bags is 4-5 months right now.

Overview of Attachment System Options
Hip Belt Attachment
The Hip Belt Attachment system involves two lengths of 1" webbing spanning the back panel of the camera bag. The two 1" plastic sliders allow you to wrap this webbing around your backpack hip belt and then secure the webbing back onto the camera bag panel. This system is nearly universal.
Cross Chest Attachment
The Cross Chest Attachment system involves 4 lengths of 5/8" webbing with buckles on one end and static cord/cord lock on the other. These lengths of webbing are attached to your backpack using the static cord/cord lock. The Camera Bag can then be buckled onto and off your chest with plenty of adjustability.
Shoulder Strap Attachment
The Shoulder Strap Attachment system is nearly identical to our other accessory attachment systems. One length of webbing is tacked along the back panel of the camera bag with S clips at the top and bottom. This system can be used on backpacks with and without webbing daisy chain along the backpack strap. This attachment is best for small to medium sized cameras.
Features
Included in standard model
All CTUG Camera Bags come with a front panel mesh pocket. The pocket is made from Lycra 4 way stretch mesh. Common uses are to store lens cap, a snack and sometimes a cell phone. Pocket size is influenced by overall camera size.
All CTUG Camera Bags come with a zipper pocket inside the lid of the camera bag. Common uses are SD cards and lens cloths. Pocket size is dependent on size of camera (some small cameras end up with lids too small to include this).
All CTUG Camera Bags come with a strap that lets you use your camera bag over the shoulder and independent of your backpack attachment system.
Options that cost extra
The standard camera bag construction is made from VX21 Xpac and 3MM 3D Spacer mesh. This option will include 1/4" closed cell foam sewn in between these two layers adding extra protection. Both options are popular, it just depends how much added protection you want.
The Daisy Chain on Side Panel consists of 1/2" webbing spanning the sides vertically to create loops to attach/clip items to. We plan to release a new product, a lens bag, that will attach to the side panels using this soon.
An additional product that is available is a shoulder strap sling with a 1/4" foam pad. Side Tabs / Shoulder Strap Sling is already included but you can buy this padded sling here: (Available soon)

The weight of our Custom Camera Bag varies with the size of the camera , the attachment system and whether you get the 1/4" foam or not. They can weigh anywhere from 3 oz to 8 oz (sometimes even more for extra large camera/lens combinations).
We use waterproof Xpac and water resistant zipper but we do not seal our seams. Therefore the bag is water resistant, NOT water proof. Customers have claimed they hold up well under a light to medium rain but we suggest stowing the bag in your pack if you expect heavy rain. Others have carried gallon ziplocks or dry bags to stow their camera inside of in case of rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! We're happy to adjust the opening of the lid. We default to have it open along the left, front and right side with the hinge on the rear panel of the bag. Feel free to request a change in the order notes, be specific using similar language to above.
No.
Unfortunately no. The system we have for designing the camera bags is specific to camera dimensions. We are working on a new product, The CTUG Lens Bag, that will be able to attach to the Daisy Chain on the side of the bag - Available Soon.
Our current method of designing the bag to your camera's dimensions will leave a small amount of space in the bag that should accommodate an extra battery or two (depending on size of battery).

Be sure to give the diameter of the lens hood for the "Lens Diameter" field. You may measure "Total Length" with the lens hood in "shooting mode" or reversed on the lens, it's up to you how you want to store the camera in the bag.
If the camera bag we send you does not fit your camera, this is most likely due to an error in entering your camera's dimensions. PLEASE take the ordering process seriously and double check your numbers before ordering.
We cannot change the size of the bag once we make it so be careful to measure and enter your information correctly when you order.
