As a photographer out in the field, that perfect image could arise at any second, so quick access is a must for any good camera bag. The Everyday Backpack has been designed with accessibility in mind, along with options for expandability and ease of organisation.

The XT16 is a shoe-mounted, wireless, power-control flash trigger transmitter that provides remote triggering and up to eight stops of wireless power control for flashes equipped with the XTR16 receiver.
