Released in 2020, the Pilot bags were already a near to perfect design. Praised by many major review websites/YouTubers, the Pilot 10L was also chosen by Chris Niccolls, editor/host of DPReview TV, the Pilot Travel Camera Bag 10L has become the Gear of the Year 2021 on DPReview.
During these 2 years, Chief Designer Albert Yuan wanted to perfect the Pilot design even more...
In the upgraded version of the Pilot Series, we added the Fidlock and Quick-Adjust Shoulder Strap as standard features so that users could have a smoother experience when using the Pilot bags.
No matter if you are shooting photos, riding, commuting, or traveling, you can adjust your shoulder strap and access your Pilot bag in a blink of an eye.
When designing the PILOT, chief designer Albert Y. combined WWII military gear details with modern lightweight technology and the MOLLE concept, creating a bag that can adapt to outdoor photography, travel, and adventure use. Add-on Pocket Modules can be attached to the front of the bag and also used individually as sling pouches. For example, use the Add-on Zipper Pouch Sling Pouch to carry important belongings for a stroll nearby your hotel when traveling.
Having to carry a bulky bag for a full day of shooting, photographers often suffer from back and shoulder pains. To alleviate the soaring pains, the lightweight PILOT is designed with a soft and comfy Latex foam shoulder pad and uses swivel snap hooks on both ends of the shoulder straps, making sure the PILOT stays upright and distributes weight evenly when being carried.
Being able to be carried with ease and shot all day, a lightweight bag is an absolute necessity for a photographer.
The Pilot series uses functional lightweight canvas while reducing the use of leather accents and metal hardware. Instead we choose to use Duraflex hardware and buckles (used by prominent outdoor brands such as Columbia / Patagonia / Mystery Ranch / LuluLemon), which allows us to keep the bag weight under 1kg, to make room for your heavy camera equipment.

In late 2022, adding to the already easy-to-use Pilot Travel Camera Bags, all Pilots will be equipped with a FIDLOCK and Quick Adjustable Shoulder Strap as a default, greatly increasing the smoothness when in action.
Organize your Pilot by using Wotancraft's Interior Velcro Modules and Add-on Modules. The Add-on Modules not only can add additional space when needed but can also be used individually when detached.

The curved, tapered flap wraps around the left and right edges, so the sides are gap-free when the flap is closed. This not only prevents rain, dust, and debris from entering the main compartment but also allows quick access when reaching for your gear.
