Sightseer Lens Pouches from HoldFast available in the UK (and quiet tripod screws too)

If you’re looking for a really nice, high-end lens pouch you’d be surprised just how few options there are out there. I don’t just mean in the UK, I mean anywhere in the world.

I have generally tried to avoid stocking the bags and pouches from HoldFast Gear. This is because I don’t want Rigu to be a camera bag shop. There are already plenty of those, and it’s hard for a shop the size of mine to compete in any meaningful way, even when I do find interesting bags that no one else in Europe stocks.

However, Rigu is the UKs main HoldFast Gear distributor, and if people keep asking me for things, eventually it just makes sense to stock them. With the lens pouches above (medium-wide black, medium olive) I had ordered them as one-offs for people when placing my regular stock orders for the MoneyMakers and other accessories, but decided to make them a more permanent fixture in the shop to save people from having to wait up to a month to receive the item. They’re only being stocked in limited quantities at the moment, but if there is demand then I’ll up the stocks as necessary.

Similarly, a couple of people asked me if I could get them a pair of the new quiet accessory clips for their MoneyMaker (the part that attaches via your cameras tripod screw thread to the MoneyMaker slider), so I did, and got a few more in so that they could be a regular shop item.

Rigu is able to special order anything from HoldFast Gear if it isn’t currently in the shop. The lead time is generally around one month, but the price is also usually quite a lot lower than if you were to order direct from the US yourself, so there is a price vs. speed comparison that you need to consider before deciding what is right for you.

New colourful padded camera bag inserts for your DSLR available now at Rigu


One of the things I get asked to add more of to the site is padded camera bag inserts. They’re really useful for people that don’t want to carry a dedicated camera bag with them all the time, allowing you to keep your camera safe in a backpack, handbag, or even your suitcase if you’re traveling. I just added a new style of bag to the shop and it’s available for £13.99 in four different colours with free UK postage available as usual.

f-stop gear bags arrive at Rigu!


Camera bags have always been a part of Rigu that I wanted to improve, both in terms of quality and selection, and today has been a massive leap forward for both. I first spotted f-stop’s high-quality bags at the Focus on Imaging tradeshow at the start of March and I made the decision before I’d even got home that I wanted them in the store, they felt like a perfect fit for the Rigu brand, good quality products for photographers that like to look a bit different and stylish, and sometimes don’t want to be seen as a photographer at all.

The bags above come from the ‘Millar’ range at f-stop and are aimed at the urban photographer that wants a bit more utility from their bag (they can all have their padded sections removed to be used as a normal bag) and to blend in with a crowd. They are all very strong and produced from quality materials including genuine leather.

New artificial leather bag added to the store





See, I told you I’d be adding more stuff this week, this time it’s the a smaller version of a bag that has been on Rigu for most of the year, but some people don’t want to carry around a larger bag and just need something that can hold their camera body, a medium sized lens, and a few accessories.

Large dark blue and artificial leather camera bags restocked.



A big heavy box arrived at Rigu HQ this morning containing some restocks and also bags that aren’t on the site yet (new products coming up soon!). The artificial leather bag wasn’t out of stock (pretty close though), but the dark blue bag had been out for a couple of weeks. They’re both big enough to take a body and a couple of lenses with pockets for the rest of the accessories you need when out for a days shooting.
