Reviews of Crumpler The Bucket- Medium

Customer Ratings:

What you should know, before ordering this item, is that it is round all around. The bottom is not flat, but curves upwards. Because of this, the inserts don't really fit, and have to be bent out of shape. Even then, they are almost impossible to place.

Also, the bucket is very shallow. If you own any 70-200 zoom or other long lens, you can pretty much forget about fitting it in here.

And then there is the lid. Why oh why would you need the lid? It restricts what you can fit into the bucket, is in the way when you need to access your gear, and adds a lot of bulk to the messenger bag you place it in.

Personally, I couldn't wait to return this thing fast enough.

When I decided not to get a new camera bag, I already know that I couldn't find the perfect replacement. I'd got a Chrome Citizen Messenger, similar to the Crumpler bag in terms of size and shape. I wanted to make good use of my bag and I found a few solutions to it. In the end, I bought this Crumpler Bucket as it satisfied my needs. It's made with no corners, because it's supposed to fit into the inside of the messenger bag. Its dividers can be adjusted freely, but they are not made in perfect shape to compensate the roundness of the bucket. It's well-cushioned all round including all the dividers. When I don't need that many gadgets, I'll just take out the bucket and stored it at home, so I can still use my Chrome bag.

In my opinion, if you are looking for a perfect and professional camera bag, you wouldn't be looking at this. This is almost perfect for people like me, who doesn't need a dedicated camera bag, but sometime would like to have this kind of protection to my camera and stuff.

Got this for my Crumpler Textbook Point. Fits like a glove. Now my Crumpler messenger bag's a camera bag! Size wise it fits a DSLR D90 and 2 Lens with space for another SLR lens or flash.

Honest reviews on Crumpler The Bucket- Medium

I got this a couple of years ago with my first dSLR. My intention was to put in my Vera Bradley tote bag. It didn't fit so it sat on my shelf with camera equipment I wasn't using. Then I finally got a Crumpler Barney messenger bag to use this with.

Most of my equipment fits, an Olympus E-30 with 3 lenses. But my Olympus FL-50r flash is too tall to fit in and not eat up too much space. The zippered top is annoying. It would be better if it could zip off completely or be a thinner material which could fold back easily.
