THE MAGAZINE
Care for your Changing
Bag
A clean and light-tight chan-
ging bag is the only thing se-
parating your precious footage
from a veritable washout. Be-
fore using your changing bag
each day, turn it inside out
and shake it clean of dirt and
debris. It is also a good prac-
tice to periodically inspect its
edges for holes and tears.
Hold it up to a strong light to
check for any pin hole leaks.
