other · 2026-05-21

Wotancraft, Chris Niccolls, and PetaPixel have released a limited edition of the Pilot messenger camera bag, the Pilot 88, after nearly a year of development. Niccolls, host of the PetaPixel YouTube Channel, has used the Pilot bag since 2021 and collaborated with Wotancraft on this design. The bag features a unique vintage gray colorway, increased interior depth to accommodate larger lenses and a 13-inch laptop or iPad Pro, and an overhauled tripod mounting system that allows carrying a tripod on the front. The side pocket is replaced with modular webbing and a drawstring pouch for quick lens swaps. The tunnel pocket has thicker padding and a hidden zippered pocket. The shoulder strap padding is increased to 32.5 cm with 5 mm of high-density foam. Only 300 units are available worldwide at $288 each.
