ABOUT TAMRAC

Tamrac - the rough and tough, but a shell for your precious camera........

The Idea Is Born.   The concept behind Tamrac’s camera carrying systems was conceived in 1977. Tamrac’s founders were outdoor enthusiasts who loved nature photography. They, like many amateur and professional photographers, had a strong need for camera bags that were tough enough to offer excellent protection, yet were easy to carry and allowed fast access to camera equipment to capture spontaneous wildlife pictures.

Without a satisfactory product in the marketplace, the founders of Tamrac, in true California entrepreneurial spirit, began manufacturing their own camera bags. They designed these bags specifically for wilderness photography. California’s diverse geography provided an unparalleled backdrop for the first adventures of Tamrac into the wild. From the desolate landscapes of Death Valley to the towering granite peaks of Yosemite, the products pioneered at Tamrac met the challenges California had to offer.
  

California Pines

What’s in a Name?   The name Tamrac was created to reflect the rugged outdoors. A pine found in the American wilderness was used as inspiration for the name. From the beginning, the Tamrac logo has included a likeness of a pine.
