Because of its innovative use of sleeves, the BLACKJACKET™ provides
an ideal darkened environment for viewing the ground glass of a view
camera. Even though the darkened environment of the BLACKJACKET™ was
superior to others, we devised a way to make it even better.
The BLACKBAG™ employs a special
new "snag free" Velcro™ that incorporates both hook and
loop fasteners in a single strip of material. The Velcro™ hooks,
which normally are prone to snagging everything from wool mittens to
plush fabric, are recessed on this new product to minimize inadvertent
snags, yet eagerly attach to another piece of similar material.
Corresponding strips of the same snag free Velcro™ are
sewn into the necks of all new 4x5 and 5x7 BLACKJACKET™ models.
The strips on the BLACKJACKET™ neck are oriented
vertically, while the strips on the BLACKBAG™ are
oriented horizontally. This permits the BLACKBAG™ to
be positioned quickly and precisely
like a curtain to block the gap that
occurs between the rear standard and base plate on field cameras (or
on both sides of the rail beneath the rear standard of monorail cameras).
There is no need to be concerned about marring the exterior
of your camera cabinet with glue or screws because the Velcro™ strips
are attached to the BLACKBAG™ and neck of the BLACKJACKET™.
While blocking the light, the curtain design also permits
easy access to camera controls beneath the rear standard such as swing
and shift.
