5 out of 5 stars My new carry on bag - Laptop, valuables and camera   July 16, 2008
Vic Vreeland (Bastrop, Texas)
Woooooooooow saw this in a retail shop, liked it over all the others they had for sale and ordered online - less expensive, ya know.

This bag is sssssssoooooo well made - Will replace my roll on carry on bag from Samsonite. The Samsonite bag weighed 13 lbs before I put anything in it and this one holds more than the Samsonite! Well padded compartments. There must be 20 compartments big and small. Holds my laptop, charger, Canon HF10 and charger, GPS, valuables,and papers I usually take on cruise quite well. This bag has the best shoulder strap of any bag I have ever seen. Bottom is rubberized so if you put it down in wet area your stuff won't get soaked.
This is it. Look no more!



4 out of 5 stars Great Camera Bag, Questionable Laptop Bag   June 4, 2008
Rowed2damascus (Bristol, CT, USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

So, what does it fit? Well here is what I have in mine currently:

Camera Portion (this padded portion is removable):
Nikon 80-200mm zoom lens
Tokina 12-24mm in Tamrac holster pouch
2x Wireless Flash Triggers
2x Wireless Flash Receivers
Wireless Camera Remote
SB-600 Flash
Foldable Flash Softbox
Nikon D70s w/ 24-75mm lens attached (the camera rests ontop of the Tamrac holster and padding which holds the wireless flash units)

Outside the Removable Camera Portion (but in the same bag compartment):
Lithium Battery Charger
Three Memory Cards
1x Lens Filter
Extra Lens Cap

With all of this, the bag is bulky. In fact, so much so that it bulges and I have yet to carry my MacBook in the Laptop Portion fearing that the bulging would damage the screen. The Laptop portion is well padded with about an inch of combined padding between the laptop and the camera gear. However, the padding is not rigid, so it succumbs to bulging. I'm planning on buying a Tom Bihn Brain Cell for the laptop. It is made with extremely rigid padding. I would then perform surgery on the bag, taking out the padding in the laptop portion as the Brain Cell would provide all the protection I would need and removing the extra padding would reduce weight and bulging. I'll edit this post when I go through with the transformation.

Great things about the bag:
1. Quick access zipper! No need to unbuckle the flap to get to the gear.
2. Extremely strong velcro on the flap.
3. Long buckle leashes allows me to sandwich a monopod in the flap (with a carabiner holding the monopod in place)
4. Anti-theft internal flap. Inside the bag, there is a flap (probably made for semi-rain protection) that you can wrap over the top of your camera gear and tuck in on the sides. Thus, if someone were to secretly unzip the Quick access zipper in an airport, and you had the flap tucked, they would just see a whole lot of nylon rip-stop material. It would be very difficult for them to get past that without you noticing.
5. Amazing shoulder strap with great grip. I have walked for two hours with this thing fully loaded, and while it caused some back pain, I felt no need to switch shoulders. Other bags I have used ended up digging into my shoulder. Not so with this well padded strap. Also the strap utilizes metal connecting parts, not plastic. So big plus.
6. Comfortable handle.
7. Lots of pockets and zippered portions. Many of them are very deep which could be a plus or a minus.

Not so great things:
1. Not enough space for safely carrying camera gear and laptop.
2. Camera Portion is not as customizable as I would have loved. But enough, that I like it.

Bottom Line:
While extremely useful and comfortable, this bag is not meant for a lot of gear or a long haul. Quick access, comfort, and modular design are big pluses. The excessive bulging negating the use of camera gear and laptop is a big minus. But, that may be fixed by adding a Tom Bihn Brain Cell.



4 out of 5 stars Nice Bag   April 7, 2008

I purchaed this bag and have found it to be a decent photo bag. The inside liner pulls out so you can use the bag for another purpose when you aren't needing it for your camera equipment.

The top flap clips shuts on the front of the bag, but there is also a zipper along the top that you can use to remove items without opening the flap for quicker access.

It holds my Nikon D3,with a 24-70 lens attached, as well as the 70-200 on the left side with the right side available for a flash or other small lens or misc. items. I got the gray color - but would have preferred the other colors but didn't think the extra cost for a color was justifiable.

Shoulder strap if comfortable and the bag looks nice.
