Just a couple of follow-up questions:
a. What is your base plate material? Does it seem that it will be rigid
enough?
b. Will you secure the base in your bag in some way?
I am thinking about the situation with four heavy lenses attached, the bag is
sitting (or being carried) at less than 90° vertical, and the weight of the
lenses might torque the baseplate out of position...
And a design-change thought:
It might be useful to glue a few velcro strips onto the open areas of
the base plate. To be used when the occasion calls for a flash unit or other
accessory that you want to have in the bag without having it rattling around.
