Review of Lowepro Clips 140 Photo Shoulder Bag for Digital Camcorder (Black)

Lowepro Clips 140 Photo Shoulder Bag for Digital Camcorder

I purchased this bag for a consumer-oriented Sony minDV HD camcorder. The recent model camcorder is quite small so there's a lot of room inside the bag for the camera plus accessories, plus tapes. Easy to use and seems to be well made. You'll never be inconspicuous using this bag but at least you'll know if it "walks away."

This is a very well made bag and nice appearance as far as style is concerned. Lowepro is high quality and they make great bags, but they missed the mark with this one.

While the open out (think glove box in your car) compartment could be a very handy way to access your camera vs. the usual zipped and flapped compartment, this bag is very inefficient in its use of space.

The exterior pockets hold little to nothing, and todays digital cameras and camcorders require cables galore and chargers. What about lens cleaning and other accessories. Where to put them in this bag? It will hold memory cards.

There are no storage compartments in the lid, like with other LowePro bags. The main storage compartment could use more than one adjustable divider to make best use of its available space.

The LowePro Edit bags have the same numbering system as the Clips bags. The larger the number, the bigger the bag. My recommendation is to stick with the Edit Bags. They make better use of pockets and space.

BTW, Amazon's website incorrectly listed (larger than actual size) the interior and exterior dimensions on this Clips 140 bag.

This is a nice bag, good quality. BUT Looks much larger in the picture than it really is. Make sure you look at the dimensions carefully before you buy. I have a small Canon Vixia HV30, and I have trouble getting it in the bag. Forget about putting other accessories in the bag. For the money I thought it should have been a bit larger.

Updated I Recently noticed that I had originally only rated this bag with 1 star that was an error. My review stands as written but I never meant to give it just one star. I have corrected my rating.
