Review of VIDPRO VID-80 CAMERA BAG AND DIGITAL CAMERA BAG

Customer Ratings:

I hate to rip on items, but this bag is awful. I wound up giving it away for nothing and buying a much nicer bag for less.

Disregard the picture, this bag is not the well-constructed, rugged leather bag you think you see. It's light, flimsy and feels very cheap.

The worst part is the main zipper that (allegedly) holds this bag closed, supposedly securing your valuable camera. I had this bag less than ONE week before the zipper quit holding. You know the deal, the teeth come apart and the zipper is hopelessly stuck in the middle. Tug it back and try again, same thing. Why, why, why do companies make products this poorly???

Stay far away from this bag. I hate to give this type of review, but I got burned on this one. Don't make the same mistake.

I got this bag free with a purchase of something from Ebay almost two years ago. As for construction quality, it feels really cheap. The 'pleather' its made of is extremely thin and ripable. This is a good thing sometimes, though as the bag will readily fold up for easy storage. Within two months of carrying the bag, the part where the handles connected to the top of the bag ripped. They were still connected at the sides, but it was a very unsightly thing. There's almost no padding in the bag, so I took out the dividers and laid them on the bottom for padding.

Having said this, the bag did do the job, and do it well for two years. It carried the following:

Nikon D90 gripped

Nikon 50mm F/1.8

Nikon 70-300 F/4-5.6G

Sigma 105mm F/2.8 Macro

Sigma 10-20 F/4-5.6

Nikon 20-80 F/3.3-5.6 in side pocket

Nikon SB-600 in front pocket

Card Reader, 67mm CPOL filter in other side pocket

So it carried quite a lot while it lasted. It was insanely easy to carry around and the top pocket made for easy access to camera goods. Unfortunately, my equipment has grown too extensive to fit in this bag (and one of the straps on the sling strap broke =/), so I have to get a new one. Ive had a larger, professional bag while I had this one andn chose to carry this one because it was so easily portable and accessable. Be warned, though. If you dont really baby your equipment, this one might not last you too long. Just dont go throwing knives and razors at it and it should do the job quite nicely.

Hope this helped!

Best Deals for VIDPRO VID-80 CAMERA BAG AND DIGITAL CAMERA BAG

I don't understand why people give this case bad reviews. I have two large slr camerasa Nikon d70 and a Fuji S2 pro. I bought one for the Fuji and liked it so much , I bought another for the Nikon. You don't pay 10 to 20 dollars for a plastic case and expect it to last forever. I take care of my cases and they work fine for me. If you want durability, pay 50 to 100 dollars for a leather case.

Honest reviews on VIDPRO VID-80 CAMERA BAG AND DIGITAL CAMERA BAG

I've had this bag for three or 4 years. It was fine for a while, but the materials are actually quite shoddy. It recently started to fall apart. The webbing and handle has shredded and I'll have to buy a new case.

I have used this bag frequently for the last 4 years: S1 to S5 Canon camera + batteries + wallet + PDA + passport = everything I need fits in it, without being too big of a bag. Now its time to buy a new one because the band is starting to fall off. But, hey for 4 years (!) is not that bad.

I hope that the bag is nowadays still the same quality.

I have never had any other bag for my camera, so can't really compare it with other bags.

For a few bucks I am buying it again.
