A carrying case adapted for storing camera equipment and accessory items, comprising:
- an internal storage volume defined by a top, a bottom, a front, a rear and first and second side walls of the case;
- a primary opening area comprising a closure for permitting access to the internal storage volume, the closure comprising a first portion extending at least partially along the first side wall, a second portion extending at least partially along the second side wall, and a third portion extending along at least one of the top and rear wall, wherein the first portion and the second portion are connected by the third portion;
- a first support member provided substantially parallel to the closure;
- a second support member provided substantially parallel to the closure, the second support member provided on an opposing side of the closure as the first wire member;
- and
- the primary opening area positionable between at least a closed position and an open position, the closed position characterized in that at least the first and second portions of the closure are angled toward the rear wall at an angle of between approximately 30 and 60 degrees with respect to the rear wall of the case, and the open position characterized in that the first support member and second support member reside in substantially the same plane.
