Customer Reviews

Good bag for the serious photographer
This bag is for the serious photographer who carries a lot of equipment. It is big and bulky. But it is a great waterproof design and will hold a tripod. I would recommend for serious travel. It protects the camera and other equipment and is comfortable to carry. Not much to add to the other reviews that have been posted.

Crazy protection for your camera
This bag is built like a tank. If you're going to subject yourself, camera gear in tow, to a lot of water, mud, rocks, etc. then this bag might be a good choice. The traditional choice for those conditions would be a Pelican case, and I generally would still choose a Pelican case as getting into and out of this bag in fully sealed mode is a time-consuming chore. But it does carry easier than a Pelican case, so if you have a long walk between picture-taking stops this might be a good choice. In fact that's really the only use-case: hiking specifically to take pictures in wet/muddy conditions. The bag isn't really big enough to hold your lunch along with your camera gear, and you can't carry the bag and a knapsack, so you'd have to be on a photo-only hike.

The basic design is a padded outer bag accessed via a big flap with a huge patch of velcro. No way that's coming open accidentally, but on the flip side it is a heck of a tug and a lot of noise to open. Inside that is an orange dry bag. The design is very similar to dry bags used by boaters. The material is a bit lighter than my river dry bags, and is constructed in the "grocery bag" fashion with folded corners at the bottom. Both would be considered negatives in a river dry bag (the folded corners tend to wear out and leak faster than a circular bottom), but since the dry bag is always protected by the outer padded bag I suspect neither will be much of an issue in this case. Inside the dry bag is a padded series of compartments.

Although I sometimes venture into wet conditions, I didn't have any immediate plans to do so, so I pulled the compartment padding out of the dry bag and set the dry bag aside. In that configuration the bag is a bit more practical for running around (obviously without the waterproofing), but still not terribly convenient.

So, if you happen to fit the use-case for the bag go for it, there's nothing like it that I've seen and you'll be absolutely confident that your gear is safe. But if you're looking for a general-purpose camera bag I think you'd best look elsewhere. And if you're looking for a waterproof way to transport your camera gear that doesn't involve hiking, I'd get a Pelican case.

Great Camera Bag
This is a great camera bag!!! I like that it can be used with or without the water proof protection. The waterproof linr comes out easily. I also likt that there are NO zippers on the bag so this prevents any leaking. The sling style of the bag makes it easy to access the inside of the bag without taking it off. In my opinion this is a very well made bag.
