Discount Rotation 360 Backpack

Customer Ratings:

I recently received the Think Tank Rotation 360 as a gift and I absolutely love this bag. It is an ingeniously designed backpack with two separable compartments: the normal backpack section with shoulder straps, and a belt section, which rotates 360 degrees to allow easy access to your gear without having to place your backpack on the ground (and it works well). Both compartments are designed to carry camera gear, with an option of locking or unlocking the belt section. It is a great choice for an outdoor photographer for various reasons 1. It is built like a tank with plenty of padding and it has attached rain cover for both compartments. 2. You have easy access to your gear without having to place your backpack on dirt or mud.

Here are the cons:

1. The backpack is not large enough for multiple, large telephoto lenses. If you want to carry both 70-200mm AND a 200-400, you should look for another bag, such as Lowepro Vertex 300 AW or something. The 70-200 alone will not fit unless you detach the lens. If you don't like doing that, you can buy a separate modulus for about $30 and attach the lens to the belt or the side of the bag, which may or may not be okay with you. But if your lenses are smaller than 70-200, you shouldn't have a problem fitting 4 to 5 lenses in both compartments of the bag. The belt section alone will hold about two lenses, as long as they are not as big as 70-200.

2. It may be heavy for you. (I have friends that complained about the weight, but it's fine with me. The weight of empty bag is about 5 pounds)

3. It may be over your budget.

4. It does not carry laptops.

Well, that's pretty much it for the cons. Except for number 1 and 4, I don't have any problems with it.

Here are the pros. There are too many good points, so I'll pick out my favorite parts:

1. Overall, it's well built: Plenty of padding for the camera and your shoulders, plenty of small pockets, rain cover, attention to details all over the place, it stands upright even when it's empty, lots of places to attach a modulus if you need extra room (at a cost though), ability to attach the camera to the shoulder straps, ability to strap a large tripod to the backpack (and you can still rotate the belt), and the list goes on and on.

2. The rotating part works quite well. You should watch the video on their website, but really, it works. The unlock/lock mechanism also works quite well.

Many of you are probably wondering about the rotating belt part, but I don't know what to say except that it's great. Just watch their video or read the manual and learn how to do it. Once you get the hang of it, it's really great. Oh, and a slight annoyance is that you do not have access to the material inside the belt when it is locked. It's not a big deal though.

Final verdict: Great, great bag, unless you want to carry large lenses or a laptop.

I purchased this bag about six months ago, and I took it to a few places during my family trips, from snowy Lake Tahoe to sunny Cabo San Lucas. It was able to take all the snow, water and sand. It is a fairly heavy bag even when it is empty. However, as expected, it is also heavily padded, both inside and outside. The padding on the shoulder, back and lower waist areas are very thick and very comfortable. Overall, it is a great camera backpack for traveling and outdoor photo-shoot events.

I am a father with a 3 year old child. As you can imagine, it can be pretty chaotic during a family trip. However, to my surprise, this bag does not interfere with our function anywhere.

This backpack is especially good in security check points at airports. It is tough enough that you can just toss it onto the security scanner belt without second thoughts (this is especially convenient when we have to carry a stroller and/or a car-seat through airport security check point). More importantly, it does not look like a camera backpack (unless you attach a tripod with it), so it doesn't get other people's attention. It is also big enough that you can keep your eyes on it easily. Lastly, and most importantly, due to its size and weight, especially with full gears, it won't be easy to take-and-run with it...

BACKPACK:

To give you a rough idea on the size of the backpack main compartment, it can take a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 (hood reversed) in the center and two Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 (hood reversed) on each side, with some space to fit a MB-D10 battery grip and a couple of smaller lenses (such as 10.5mm fisheye or tele-converter(s) or any 52mm~62mm size lenses). The depth of the main compartment is about the same length as a MB-D10 battery grip.

I was able to fit a F100, a D300s and a MB-D10 on one side, Nikon 70-200mm (in the back) and a SB600 (in the front) in the center, and Nikon 24-70mm, a 1.7x tele-converter, a 10.5mm f2.8 and a 20mm f2.8D on the other side. Everything fits tightly, and yet, they are easy to remove.

You may also attach two other Think Tank camera gear bags on both sides, however, it won't take anything as wide as The Chimp Cage though.

The backpack also comes with a lot of straps for different purposes. You can attach a tripod on the back, sleeping bag at bottom and another camera in the front. In additional, there are additional straps to secure your long telephoto lens as well. In my personal experience, I was able to carry my D300s with battery grip and Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 on the backpack shoulder strap. Not only it took the weight off my neck, the additional straps on each side also secure my 70-200mm f2.8 to my chest. It is very easy and very safe to move around when everything is so tightly secured to your body.

BELT:

The rotation belt system does work, and it is secure. There are five places to secure your belt with the bag, two on the side, two on the back and one in the front. The main compartment can handle a D700 (or D300s/F100...etc) with Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 attached. Alternatively, it can take Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 with its hood reversed. You can also attach a separator on top of the 70-200mm to create an additional space for flash or other small things. However, D2/D3 or any camera with battery grip will not fit in the main compartment on the belt. The small side pocket can handle some small items. It can fit something as big as a 77mm CLP in its case. You can also attach one other Think Tank camera gear bag, such as Lightning Fast or The Chimp Cage, on the other side of the belt. I have attached a The Chimp Cage and it does not interfere with rotation.

One may wonder, do I really need to carry this big backpack all the time? The answer is NO. There's another advantage of using Rotation 360. The belt system can be used independently, without the large backpack. In fact, the belt main compartment has two loops, where you can attach a shoulder strap (i.e., Think Tank Curved Comfort). This will provide an additional support, so all the weight won't sit on your waist. When I am not traveling with all my gears, this will be my usual setup. You can still rotate the belt and still have easy access to everything. If you need more space, just attach another bag onto the belt.

PRO:

(1) Nice padding all over the bag.

(2) Belt rotation system.

(3) Built like a tank, great protection for your camera gears.

(4) Comfortable to carry around.

(5) Allow additional modification when needed.

(6) Able to take the weight off your neck and re-distribute to your shoulder.

CON:

(1) Weight.

(2) Size.

(3) Rather expensive, especially if you want additional parts.

(4) The backpack main compartment is smaller than I like... Would be much better if it is larger (or, rather, wider).

Overall, this is not just a camera backpack to carry your gears. It is a backpack that will help you to carry your gears safely, securely, and efficiently.

I've received this backpack for my birthday, but anyway it was selection.

I've searched all world to get a backpack which would meet my criteria:

easy access to photogear: take in and put back; especially during travel, which I do a lot

flexible, have room for some other than photo gear

sturdy, high quality

help me with my back problems

I must say I am still very happy with it. It's support for camera, which does not put heavy weight on your neck and fact that it distributes waight on both shoulders solved a lot of issues. I can now walk cities easily.

Right now I am looking for a way to use it's belts and expand capacity (for bottles) and I see there are many options.

It's not cheap, but I guess you will not need anything else.

I recommend !!!

PS: Sorry for my English, I don't use it that often.

Honest reviews on Rotation 360 Backpack

I love this backpack. I have had it for almost a year and used it on numerous occasions such as a day at the zoo, in an amusement park or a day trip in the forest. I have even brought this bag to the beach.

Typically I will have my camera hanging from the front-straps all the time, which puts the weight on my shoulders and not my neck. Then I will have an additional lens in the lower section and quickly swap lenses back and forth by rotating that part. The main part of the backpack is the used for additional lenses, extra clothes, water and whatever I want to bring along.

Pros:

+ Great build quality

+ Takes weight off your neck (this is really fantastic for a whole day of walking and taking photos)

+ Several smaller pockets and places to put your stuff

+ Can be put down on the ground and will stand straight up by itself

+ Lower section can be used by itself as a belt for shorter trips

Cons:

Normal backpack section not very large (though large enough to fit several lenses, a bottle of water, a flash and an extra sweater)

Rain cover a bit clumsy to put on (but it works)

Sometimes hard to fit in the overhead locker of a small airplane

No room for a laptop (I don't care)

Highly recommended.

Review of DiCAPac WP711 145x95mm Small Inner Zoom Waterproof Case with Soft

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $34.95
Sale Price: $20.35
Today's Bonus: 42% Off

I ordered the WP700, yet I received the WP711. This review sits separate from the 3-star review I gave the company who sold/shipped this to me via Amazon. See the WP700 product page for which company that is.

That said...

NOTES AND TRICKS

I was concerned I'd run into issues fitting my Sony TX-7 into this case, however after a weekend of underwater shooting I can't say I've had any problems. I highly recommend watching the youtube videos for this product to make sure you're properly sealing the pack after inserting your camera. On a full touchscreen camera like the TX-7, getting the air out of the pack as much as possible before sealing it up ensures a) the camera won't move around much, and b) there's no air or air bubbles to interfere with the controls on the back. Also, and I'm no scientist, but it seems logical that the less air that's inside the pack, the less room there'd be for condensation buildup. Dicapac includes a minuscule silica packet to counteract any humidity, though I have a hard time seeing how effective a small packet like this would be for a very prolonged period of time.

ACCESS & CONTROL

This section definitely depends on your individual camera, but here's my experience.

Once you've properly sealed the pack, and you've double checked that the rectangular "window" around the lens and flash isn't blocking either one of those components, you're good to go. Using a fingertip, I was able to change my settings at will through the plastic of the Dicapac. The TX-7's mock rotary zoom wheel on the upper-right corner of the camera was slightly difficult to reach through the plastic, however once I realized what sort of pressure worked in what place (working somewhat blind given the right edge of the Dicapac obscured the very right edge of the camera's hardware) the zoom controls became moderately comfortable.

QUALITY

Again, this will depend largely on your camera, but I was quite happy with the results through the Dicapac. There was a very minor sheen when I used the "incandescent light" scene mode on the TX-7 which didn't exist with the camera outside of the Dicapac, but much of your success or failure in high detail shots will depend on the space between the plastic and the lens. If you press directly down on the shutter, the plastic may bulge out a bit in the front, adding unwanted distortion to the shot. Damping down the plastic, going from the front of the camera over the top toward the back, will keep the plastic from bulging out. Shooting underwater with a $30 waterproof pack will certainly create a small amount of degradation but nothing which would lead to an undesirable photo. Video seems sharp as well, and (I say this as a novice) it seems that you'd notice the difference in quality less during video given how artifacts are more likely to show up in a frame rather than in fluid motion.

THE AFTERMATH

I left the camera in the pack for a few days. At the end of those few days, moments after last using it, I took it out to watch the results on my tv. I was quite surprised at how much water was absorbed by the velcro. Hours later, there was still a small bit of residual moisture. A smart move might be to grab a hair dryer, set it on low, and from a distance dry out the velcro. The plastic seems heavy enough to be unaffected by a hair dryer set on low, but you can't be too careful with something tasked with protecting an expensive camera. The realization from this was that the ziploc-style seal is, in the end, the only thing keeping the camera from becoming an expensive paperweight. It's rolled up many times over, and it's something I feel I can trust, but if you like your camera MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAL IS TIGHT.

I'd feel comfortable buying this again, especially since if I'm ever in a weird bind it would also work perfectly well as a cellphone case or a carryall for my keys/credit card/ID as I'm out at the beach & in the water. Just make sure you're getting what you ordered.

I recently bought a WP711 for a trip to Hawaii to use with my Fuji FinePix Z30. This is my backup camera and did not cost much, so I did not mind risking it. I tested the WP711 as soon as I received it, and it worked fine in the sink. I then used it on 6 salt water snorkeling trips (ranging from 30 90 min) over a 2 week span with no leaks. This was mostly at the surface, but also included a few quick trips to 6-8 feet underwater. Based on the other reviews, I was cautious: I made sure everything was well sealed and downloaded all pictures after every use. I don't think I'll use it again for a few months, and I'll definitely redo the sink test before putting my camera in again.

Fitting the FinePix Z30

My Z30 is not a perfect fix in the WP711. There is definitely extra room in the case; however, I found that to be useful. The Z30 on/off mechanism is sliding the front cover to the left/right, which is not easy to do through the case (the case material tends to suction to the camera, which is good for keeping the lens lined up, but bad for sliding pieces around). Having the added space to shift the camera around allowed me to get the camera on/off when needed. That was a chore, so on later trips I made sure to start with a full battery, turn the camera on before going in the water, and leave it on for the whole trip.

Image quality

This obviously depends a lot on the camera (and mine is not great), but I did not find the WP711 to noticeably reduce the image quality. It did affect the flash, so I learned not to use that. Here's one of my clearest shots, taken in about 5 feet of water with lots of light:

I found that I got clearer shots when diving a few feet below the surface and shooting more horizontally. This probably has more to do with my camera and lighting than the WP711, but I don't know for sure.

Conclusion

I would recommend the WP711 to anyone who wants underwater pictures has a camera they're willing to risk. It's given me a lot more and better pictures than the underwater disposable cameras I've used in the past.

I bought this for an older sony cybershot..hoping it would work..but figured if it didn't no worries..it's an older camera anyways!! It worked like a charm!! We took it snorkeling with us in Honduras and Belize and had no problems with leaking..the camera stayed dry and we got great coral, sting ray, fish, etc underwater pix!! Definitely recommend this product..just be careful not to leave too much air in the bag or the camera will "float" around in it and you take the chance of the lens moving right in front of the line..which will mess up your pix. :)

I bought this to use while snorkeling. After the second day, there seemed to be moisture in the bag, and the plastic no longer looked clear. I must say that it did keep the camera dry and I took a lot of underwater pictures and videos and they came out ok, but I will look around for something else for my next trip. I didn't love it.

I bought this for my Olympus 720 SW. "But it's a waterproof camera!", you ask. Reading reviews online for the CAMERA, it seemed about 10-20% of the time, water would leak into the camera and ruin it, so I bought this Dicapac pouch as an added layer of protection.

Unfortunately, I had a few problems with this pouch.

1) When doing outdoorsy things that might require a pouch like this, the user is also likely to be wearing sunscreen and insect repellent. As such, it was easy to smudge the outer plastic just by inadvertently touching (i.e., if the pouch hits my arm or leg) so that it made photos very cloudy. It was difficult to "wash off" while in the water, so generally photos were cloudier than they should have been. Even when the pouch was perfectly clean I found that taking photos through the plastic distorts photos somewhat.

2) The pouch itself isn't quite the right fit for the Olympus 720 SW, even though the WP-711 is the recommended size by the Dicapac manufacturer for this camera. As a result, I struggled with the camera moving around inside the pouch, and often the rectangle on the front that is intended to take photos within would migrate so that the edge of the rectangle was right in the middle of the photo lens. This also ruins a fraction of photos.

3) It's a little unwieldy to take photos through the pouch.

4) Yes, my camera stayed absolutely dry within this pouch.

5) My Olympus 720 SW was indeed successful when NOT using this pouch at remaining waterproof. My best photos from snorkelling are WITHOUT the pouch much sharper and clearer.

Having the pouch and having cloudy/blurry photos with a camera that didn't get wet is still somewhat better than the blurry photos that I generally take with disposable water proof cameras, but removing the pouch and successfully being able to use the waterproof feature of my camera made the pouch seem useless. Other users who don't have naturally waterproof cameras whose cameras may fit this pouch a bit better may still find value from using the pouch.

I just with the rectangle on the front of the pouch weren't there that seems to only be a potential barrier for anyone using this size.

Overall no issues with Ocean Reef Electronics. The item was shipped promptly and in new condition.

The pouch is the perfect size for my Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Optical Zoom (Wine Red), with the smaller compartment the perfect size for holding extra SD cards.

I have a Nikon D800 + Nikkor 28-70mmf/2.8 + lens hood and they fit the Clik Elite CE704BK perfectly. This bag is ideal for travel. Have you ever had those moments on vacation where you want to take a picture but your camera is in your backpack? It takes a lot of time, work and effort to take the camera out of the bag; and when you're finally ready to take the picture, the moment is gone! Then you have to decide if you're going to place the camera back in the pack or keep it around your neck just in case there's another photo-op. But then you risk damaging your camera if you keep it around your neck. Well friends, now there's the Clik Elite! On a recent trip I had this on my chest the whole time and I never missed a shot. It takes less than two seconds to take the camera out of the bag and another two to place it back (I never capped the lens; instead I used the lens hood to protect the front element). Yes, I actually timed myself. Two seconds!

CONS:

1] Dork factor 12 when you're wearing it in public. Lets face it, its not something you'd wear to impress someone.

2] Straps on the side dig into your ribs. It would be nice if they were wider or padded, or both.

PROS:

1] Extremely convenient, as stated above

2] Well constructed, quality nylon

3] Very light, can wear this all day long without any shoulder pains

Used the pack during two two-week vacation, scrambling around Oregon coastal bluffs, wandering about Boston, off -trail wanderings through New England forests. It provides convenient accessibility to my equipment that a backpack simply can't. I keep my camera with lens on my tripod as I hike about, so the chest pack provides accessibilty to an extra lens, filters, and accessories. Being lazy, I hated to take off my back pack to change a lens, so I would "make do"with the lens on the camera. With the chest pack, swapping lenses is a snap and my various filters are quickly within reach. If necessary, the pack can be attached to my LowePro backpack with the Clik attachments, though I haven't used this configuration in the field. I suspect I could also attach the chest pack to my arctrx backpack. I've worn the chest pack for up to six hours, with short snack breaks, so its comfortable even with the narrow waist straps. I'd recommend this pack to both street and Nature shooters.

Cons:

* waist straps are really above the waist. A longer back harness and wide waist straps would be an improvement.

Pros:

* comfortable over long shoots

* more manuveurable in tight spaces than a backpack.

* keeps gear accessible .

I ordered this to have a camera bag/purse style bag to take on vacation. I wanted something that looked less touristy than a camera bag. The bag did fit my Canon T2i with room to spare for extra parts and it seemed like it was pretty good protection. It is as padded as most mid-level camera bags you might purchase. I love the overall style and texture of the bag, however the outside of the bag is really shiny (read cheap looking.) I don't know if it would be better in one of the other colors, but the red would be much more attractive if it had a more matte finish. I returned the bag. It will definitely do what it says it will as far holding gear if you don't mind the gloss.

You will not be disapointed with this product. My 35mm digital camera & extra batteries fit perfectly, still leaving room for additional items. Does not look like your standard camera bag; you could stash a couple of personal items & leave your purse behind.

I recently bought the Nikon P500 camera and I was looking for a bag that didnt call out camera inside and allowed me the luxury of throwing my keys & cellphone inside. Loved this bag so much, I bought one for a co-worker too. It is cushioned inside with a velcro repositioning wall that allows my to keep the camera snug and protected on one side and accessories and my stuff on the other.

Really like this bag. It does appear a little vinyl-y, but it is really cute. Fits my Nikon d3100 with 2 lenses (a bit snug) and the battery charger. I love that the middle divider panel is held in place by Velcro strips so you can move it around to customize the size of the compartments. There is also Velcro at the end of the zipper closure to keep the closure of the main part of the bag extra secure. Side pockets are nice, but also held closed by Velcro so I worry a little about the security of whatever I decide to put in the side pockets. The extra shoulder strap that comes with the bag is helpful and the clips are well made. The strap is made of nylon mesh strap material, similar to a backpack strap material.

This cute little camera bag does not look like a camera bag at all, rather it looks like a stylish hand bag. The interior is light gray, padded and has one movable divider. The divider is the same color as the rest of the interior, also padded and attaches with velcro. My Nicon Coolpix P510 takes up half of the bag leaving the other half for accessories or keys, wallet etc... The main compartment of the bag closes securely with a double zipper. There are two (one on each side) slim side pockets on the outside of the bag, that tab closed with velcro. The bag also has a detachable shoulder strap. Here I find is room for improvement. The shoulder strap is made of black nylon webbing instead of the same material as the handles., It is cheap looking on an otherwise very pretty bag.
