The product itself is great. The applicator (me) ... not so much. I had a hard time positioning it so I have one spot where the joint overlaps a bit. It does make the camera look good.

I have found this product to be fair deal, with only minor quips. It provides protection for my Olympus Tough 6000 from excessive bumps and bruises, plus it keeps it afloat if it falls overboard.

I would have preferred a hook-and-loop/velcro fastener instead of the toggle fastener they used to hold the cover closed.

Case is too small for camera. Case gaps open around it.

You secure it closed by a loop and stick method. Kinda cheesy and clumsy to use.

No clip or belt loop. Just a small D-ring on back. Supply your own device to attach it to something.

Pos.. the clip to the camera is compatible with the orange float wrist strap. Detach one and put the other.

This is still a better alternative to the orange float wrist strap. I also attached the standard loop wrist lanyard to the camera in conjunction with the floating case.

The case is being represented as a product for Nikon camera products when it was actually designed for Sony camera products. The quality is very cheap and it is greatly over sized for the camera that is was supposed to protect. The tripod is cheap plastic and was broken upon delivery. The company selling the product said they would take it back for a 20% restocking fee, but then said because I was a Amazon customer they would lower the restocking fee to 10%. They really hit a homerun with me when they said (paraphrasing)they really didn't care about the tripod issue because it was free anyway. But the best was when the representative asked if I could possibly keep the case and give it as a gift. Are you kidding???

I offered to copy and paste their e-mail onto Facebook... They waived all restocking fees and issued an RMA

I probably won't get my refund after this rant!

Used this on a just completed vacation with my Nikon S9300. Very functional. Good job of protecting the camera. The side pocket had just enough room for an extra memory card & battery. Only thing was I somehow kept accidentally changing the camera settings when I pulled out the camera; wasn't sure if I was just grabbing the camera wrong.

The soft case is lined with pading and my camera should serive a short fall. The pocket in the front is conveient for holding battery's or memory cards. I like the clip,it's easy to hook on my belt loop and even easer to unhook. the tri-pod is perfect for delayed photo's and close ups. Over all it works very well for me.

It's the perfect size for a small mirrorless camera and 1 to 2 lenses. The bag is well made and looks beautiful. The strap is comfortable, but needs the SD-40 for longer shoulder time. For the right system this is perfect, but if you like to pack multiple items you will quickly run out of space.

this is by far one of the best messenger style camera bags I have found in a long time. It is well constructed and thoughtfully designed specifically for photography pros.

Interiors:

Roomy and spacious. It fits a considerable amount of lenses, flashes, cables, and a full sized 15 inch laptop. The interiors are a bright construction orange to give a nice contrast to the equipment you need to carry.

The padding is slightly thin but it does the job. The pads are velcro adjustable and accommodates about 6-8 consumer kit lenses; or 4-5 pro-sized lenses. There is a series of 4 padded CF memory card pockets along the top. I have Canon with an extended battery grip. It fits comfortably.

The main compartment is modular and removable. In the front, there's 1 see-through zipper pocket for accessories and series of smaller pockets to hold small items. The bag comes with a small, palm sized padded case that carries loose articles.

Exterior.

The bag has a tough ballistic nylon shell. There's a handy compression-style neoprene stretch pocket on one corner that holds a variety of quick grab and go items like lens caps, keys, and a smartphone.

The bag's top flap is the true genius part of the design. Like a conventional messenger bag, the top flap clips shut with a single plastic clip. There is a zipper along the inside edge of the flap to completely contain the bag's contents (my main beef with other messenger bags is the lack of this zipper to completely seal the bag). The best part is a separate top zipper to access the bag when the flap is shut. Then the bag quickly opens its top for a very quick access. There is even a clever magnetic fastener that keeps the zipper from accidentally opening during normal use.

The bag has straps that help attach itself to roll-on carry-ons at the airport. It also includes a rain fly pocket with a tethered rain fly. And finally, there is an extendable tripod pocket to fit a small tripod. (the fit is tight and snug for a small travel sized tripod.)

Overall, this seems like a thoughtfully appointed bag designed for the active photojournalist. I am very happy with my purchase.

You know when you've found the wrong bag a lot faster than when you've found the right one. And it's a lot easier to recommend camera gear than it is a camera bag. As much a matter of personal taste and preference as shooting style and gear used, everything about them from looks to layout is completely subjective.

If you're looking here you can count yourself in the minority while well known for other types of gear, Vanguard seems to be flying under the radar when it comes to carry luggage; in the USA anyway. I've owned very few bags since the 70's, they tend to last me and become second nature. I don't even think about them after a while. That's the whole idea. And, that's what makes finding the perfect "companion" a daunting task. I've looked at the old standby brands (many of which I own), and the newer "trendier" ones available. When looking for this bag, I wanted something to carry most of my gear and it had to be a shoulder-style bag. The new style messenger bags held interest for their ability to carry a camera with a large lens mounted for easy access.

At first I was looking at the Vanguard Up-Rise, which has been awarded like crazy in Europe in the last couple of years. It's a great layout, expandable and still relatively narrow. But, it appeared it would fall just a bit short of my desire to be able to haul most of my gear a travel bag. So, I turned to the Haralder 33. I don't have a need to haul a large laptop (15"+), and the difference between this and the 38 as far as camera gear carried is negligible.

The Vanguard is a perfect hybrid between a regular shoulder bag and a messenger/courier bag. Shoulder bags are great for having lots of pockets and easy access to your goodies, but not so great at lugging around. They're best when they're sitting on a table. messenger bags are easier to cart around, but tend to be short on pockets as quick access to gear is the priority. This is fine when you're only carrying the essentials like a camera and lens but I lean towards the boy-scout end of the spectrum when it comes to preparedness.

The design of this bag is brilliant and simple. Topside, there is a zippered and snap top flap to access your gear like a regular shoulder bag. On the very top of this "lid" is another zipper to access your camera and other gear in a flash. There is a small magnetic tab you flip out of the way, which prevents the zipper from accidentally opening. You can grab not only your camera this way, but a lens, a flash or whatever you have in the "main section" qiuckly and easily. Additionally, on the inside of this flap are 2 little easy access pockets for your memory cards (CF and SD fit fine). Pretty much anything you'll need can be accessed instantly and silently.

I've played with other messenger style bags that had zippered top sections, or places to hold laptops etc. but none were as clever and as useful as this. They've figured out a perfect compromise as far as accessibility and safety.

The boxlike "main section" is removable and has the typical Velcro partitions for customizing the shape and size of the interior sections. Outside of this section are other pockets and sections built into the bag itself. Of course there is a padded and zippered removable sleeve for your laptop. This in turn slides into the back section of the bag (the side against your body). It is held firmly in place with Velcro tabs, which is removed quite easily. behind this is yet another zippered section large enough for manuals, cables, or even a kindle or ipad mini.

How big is it? On a recent trip this is what I carried on my flight I would NOT recommend walking around with this as it did get heavy!

Canon 60D with fat Crumpler strap, Canon PowerShot D20 with Olympus floating strap, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 OS with tripod collar and hood, Sigma 17-50 f2.8 and hood, Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 and hood, Nikkor 50 f1.4, Yongnuo YN-565ex (in case), Canon Speedlite 420 (in case), Toshiba Satellite & charger, Kindle Fire, 2 Trigmaster Plus triggers & all cables, 4 snap-packs AA eneloop batteries & charger, Chargers for both cameras, spare batteries, original 60D manual, lenspen, rocket blower, microfiber cloth, assorted papers, checkbook, pens & pencils, meds, first aid kit, business cards etc.

Now, as you've probably guessed this bag was stuffed to the gills at this point! Also to be fair I wouldn't be able to access some things quickly or easily. The camera was carried body only with a cap and that still threw the TSA. I had to put a lens on it to prove it was a camera. Go figure.

On any given day I'll have the camera, 2-3 lenses, 2 flashes, a tablet and assorted sundries. It's quite easy to carry and there's lots of extra room. Plus, it's one of the few bags I could have an f2.8 70-200 mounted to my camera, and still have room for spare lenses without having to stack them.

Pros:

Well built

Well padded

Metal clips and rings NO PLASTIC

Bright orange interior (easy to see tiny black parts)

Easy access top section with magnetic safety catch

Memory card pockets also easily accessible via top zippered section

Useful interior pockets well placed

Useful exterior pockets

Can carry and quickly access camera with 70-200 f2.8 mounted

Understated elegance handsome orange details

Ergonomic curved shoulder strap and extra strap to secure to body

Extra padded case for laptop

Extra padded case for P&S or whatever

Removable interior compartment and re-positionable dividers

Heavy coated bottom (who knows what you'll set it on/in)

Tripod carrying harness (cleverly hidden/placed)

Luggage handle securing velcro strap

Rain Cover

Amazing price considering

Cons:

Looks like camera bag

ID tag isn't standard business card size

If you have an aversion to the color orange...

Some dividers dark gray, not orange (does add contrast however)

Curved shape of top flap makes zippering difficult (there are 2 tabs to hold that make this easier, undocumented but make a difference)

Big (then don't get this model!)

Small (it will be for some!)

Um...

To explain this long-winded review a bit more, I purchased this bag sight unseen. It was based on youtube videos almost exclusively. I handled models by my old standby Lowepro, ThinkTank, Crumpler and Tumbuk2 to name a few, and didn't like any of them for one reason or another. Nobody carried Vanguard locally, so I took a chance. I had no idea the bag would blow those other ones out of the water in so many ways. It's a hard thing to buy a bag, much less one you can't handle yourself.

If your needs are the same for a laptop, but lighter on camera gear I'd recommend looking at the Up-Rise line. Other than that after several months with this bag I like it enough to have written this review. I would not hesitate recommending the Vanguard Bags to anybody regardless of what they're looking for. Well built, well designed and just an all around great bag. Five stars.

This bag has been in constant use and gone to Hawaii twice, seen rainstorms, been dropped, kicked, dragged and then dropped again. It looks like it did the day I got it. There has been zero wear anyplace. Not even a stain. Cleans right up.

To update the carry list for the latest trip, substitute the 60D for a 6D, the smaller Sigma 17-50 and 10-20 lenses for an EF 24-105 and 17-40 (with hoods), the 420ex for a 600ex-rt (and case), one more trigger, an ipad 4 instead of a kindle, 3 filters and boxes, a charger for the eneloops (just a wall type) in addition to 3 camera battery chargers, iPad charger and phone charger oh, and a sunglasses case. It was actually a bit lighter this time!

This is such a fantastic product I'll be getting the Up-Rise 28, either the I or II. The I is a pretty tempting price right now. I'd like something a little smaller for carry around the II has a harness to use as a backpack. Vanguard continues to impress and innovate.

I've never owned a camera bag, but I did a ton of research online before purchasing. I never thought of the importance of the bag since I'm used to just holding the camera. With stepping up to the 5D I knew I needed the protection of not only the camera, but the lens and other junk I was going to accumulate to fuel my passion.

Quality of materials very well made, I'll have this bag for at least 10 years.

Space Canon 5D MK III, Tamron 24-70, Canon 50mm, charger, Giotto Rocket Blaster (must buy), LED hotshoe light, cords, headphones, ipad, and there is room for more. The bag gets heavy with this much stuff and gets really heavy when using the tripod straps for my tripod, but that option is there if I need it.

A 15" laptop (at least mine) does not fit in the laptop sleeve and won't fit in the bag with the laptop sleeve, but it will "squeeze" in if I take the sleeve out of the bag. Its doable, just not comfortable. (I have the Messenger 33 bag some reviews here seem to reference the size up from this bag)

With the weight though, the metal rings and attachments on the strap can handle it. The padding on the strap is good, but I wish they went with a wider strap pad section. I feel its a hair too skinny, but the padding is thick enough.

People have complained about the handle, but its placed where it needs to be if you wan that top bag zipper access. A little tip regarding the handle is if you hold the handle with one hand its easier to zip the bag with the other. For whatever weird reason, it works.

Love the bag, love my Vanguard tripod as well.

Honest reviews on VANGUARD THE HERALDER 28 Messenger Bag

Love this bag for carrying a multitude of lenses, which I did on a recent vacation where I knew I would be shooting a variety of wildlife, landscapes, and people. For a large bag like this, it'd be perfect if it was on wheels! Carrying this through the airport on your shoulder or back is difficult at best. With my camera, tripod, 8 lenses, laptop and iPad, it was close to 50#. Well organized and it seems to be strongly made, which I like, but for the money, wheels should be an added feature.

This is a very well made bag, with a lot of attention to the details. It is still a tight fit to get both my SLR camera with lens attached, and another lens in the bag. This is with the use of the padded dividers. Without them it would be roomier, but the camera and spare lens would not be protected. The padded dividers have velcro, so you can customize the interior, which is a nice feature. There are 3 padded velcro dividers, however I could not figure out how to use one of them! So, I just left that one out. However, I found that trying to get them precisely where I wanted was a hassle. The velcro would stick too well and always where I didn't want it. At least once you have everything where you want, it is not something you have to deal with again.

The zippers are sealed against water, but this also makes them a bit stiffer to use. This may change with use, but it is still a good feature to have. The bag as a whole is very well padded and water resistant.

There are a nice variety of different size pockets to store memory cards, batteries, etc. There is a lens cloth attached inside one of the pockets. The straps are very sturdy and well padded. They can be used in a variety of ways: hang the bag in front, on the back or over the shoulder.

This bag is also designed to add on other small packs for additional lens. You can also get an attachment which turns it into a waist pack. If you are looking for a solid bag to protect your camera, this is a good product.

Initially, I felt this was an excellent quality bag. Overall, this is still true. The one faulty item was the pull tie on the zippers. I have had 2 of these come apart. I have adapted, but this was a bit disappointing considering the price of the bag.

This is a great case for the Nikon CoolPix P310 or any other similarly sized compact point and shoot camera. The case is light weight, water resistant (sheds light rain), has thicker than normal padding for a point and shoot case, and has what appears to be a micro fiber interior lining. The camera is a snug fit (no chance of it accidentally falling out of the case if you leave the top flap unzipped) but is easy to slip in and out of the case. The belt clip does not inadvertently come off your belt. It has a memory card pocket in the inside of the flap, and a full length pocket in the back of the case. The rear pocket would hold memory cards or business cards, but will not hold anything of any thickness. In my experience, this is one of the best designed point and shoot camera cases that I have owned.

A belt/strap clip is on the backside for use when you're not using the bag strap. Honestly, Incase couldn't have made this product any better. I take it everywhere.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This bag is Case Logic's Medium size Cross-Body Bag. This is not a small bag. It is a really roomy medium sized bag that almost feels like a large bag. I really like it, but there are a few catches with it that won't make it the right bag for every DSLR owner.

This bag is a nice gray color. It has tons of great features that make it a versatile bag. On the front there's a small diagonal zipper perfect for putting your lens cap in when not in use. There's a horizontal zipper where you could easily put papers or a tablet that you needed quick access to. If you open the flap, there's a zippered area with three pockets and another zippered area, where you can store small things you don't want rolling around. The most important part of this bag is the main storage area. There are two zippers that pull back to open up this area. You can open it up while it's on your shoulder. My husband and I were very impressed with the design of this compartment and it makes it a very appealing bag for students, actually. When you open it up, the main compartment opens wide with a rectangle opening on top. Most bags just have a slit and you have to reach in and hunt around for what you want. The one trick I found is closing the bag back up while the bag is on you. On my bag, the zippers are a little cranky to close. But, if you grasp the end of the zipper (placing your thumb between the zipper and the fabric below it) with one hand to make it straight and not kinked, and then pull the zipper with your other hand, the zipper will close easily. I found that if the bag was sitting on a table, the zippers closed more easily.

Inside the main compartment is a removable padded camera pod case. The pod has a draw string opening on the top that can be folded back. There is enough room alongside the pod to fit snacks, a water bottle, or another lens (stored in a bag like one of these Bundle Monster 4pc. Padded Neoprene Compact DSLR Camera Lens / Lense Protector Pouch Bag Kit For Canon, Nikon, Etc. The bag is very spacious, which you can't tell very well from the pictures. You can also fit a lap top inside the main compartment.

The strap is very comfortable to wear and the bag sits comfortably on my hip. I can quickly and easily adjust the length of the strap.

Why this bag is not for everyone...

I have a Canon T3i. It's not a full-frame DSLR, so my camera body is smaller. I keep my 60mm macro prime lens on it almost all the time, because I love this particular lens and prefer it to zoom lenses. I have an auxiliary flash and other lenses that I can take a long. This bag will fit my camera with my 60mm lens on it, but not with my zoom on it. It will fit my zoom on the side though, as an extra lens. I was pleased and surprised that my flash, zoom lens, and camera with prime lens could all fit in the pod. There is one extra piece of padding in the middle of the pod that separates the camera body from the lens and flash. It is removable. If it was removed, there is a possibility you could put a full frame DSLR in here, but I don't have one to test out.

For someone who's looking for a camera bag with a lot of storage that's very comfortable to wear, this is a great choice. It's versatile and has the ability to hold a lot of extra gadgets. An ipod, tablet, laptop, plus a DSLR. If I were a student, this would be an amazing bag-just remove the camera pod. I love the way it looks and feels. Because of the opening, it would be so much easier than other bags to fish out books and other materials.

For me, someone who's hobby is photography, this is a great bag. It carries everything I want and more--which gives me room to grow. An extra battery, battery charger, extra lens, tour book, book to read, ipod, cell phone, flash, extra memory card, flash diffuser... I can fit all of these things and more. My only reason to give it 4 stars is having to fiddle with the zippers and wishing that the pod was a little bigger. I do hope to upgrade someday to a full frame camera, but we'll see. I wish I could have given it 4 and a half stars. My only misgivings about it are the zippers on the main compartment that I mentioned and that I think the pod would be a little small for a full frame DSLR. For now, this is a great bag for my camera equipment!

Added note: I was told by a photography store salesman once that most photographers have many bags for many purposes. He also explained that you may not realize how well a bag fits you until after you've tried others. That is the case with this bag for me. I also now have a Thule messenger bag. I can see how this bag is a much better fit for my needs. It is the right size for me, a woman. It isn't too large for me to manage. The opening really is nice and makes it easy to access my gear. Because of these reasons, I upped my rating to 5 stars from 4, which I originally gave this bag.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a really interestingly designed bag, but I think it misses the mark for its advertised purpose. Your SLR is supposed to fit in a smaller bag-within-a-bag to facilitate popping the camera in and out without a lot of bother. The camera pouch doesn't fit well in the bag, so it slides around. A Canon T-4i with a battery grip and 18-135mm lens barely fits. I can't see much utility as a grab and go camera accessory. However, take the camera pouch out and you have a pretty nifty messenger bag. I'm seriously thinking about using it the next time I travel sans camera.

I have several camera bags by Case Logic and this one is pretty well built as usual. The bag's bottom is rubberized which should help if you put it on wet surfaces, and there are a couple nice extra zippered pockets and flaps. The main flap had snaps rather than Velcro or clips. I find it too much trouble to try and use the snaps.

I am also worried about the main compartment zipper. It is a struggle to get it to zip and it's still new. I am worried that it will break rather quickly. as a messenger bag I'd give it a "4" or a "5", but as a camera bag I could only give it a "2".

This bag has broader uses than it is ostensibly designed for.

Like most air travelers, I do not feel secure with packing my electronic gear in a piece of checked luggage. Over the years, the things I generally bring along on trips and vacations has grown a bit as have the number of their accessories. Proportionately, the need for a larger and larger was to carry them on a plane with has grown to the point where I have been using a rather substantial back-pack to perform this function. That backpack held everything but not in a cleanly packed way and was difficult for me, as a 66 year old fellow, to put on and off. I didn't think much about alternatives until trying this Medium Cross Body Bag from Case Logic.

This case is firmly and well insulated and carries, most easily, as a shoulder bag (though it also sports a top-handle briefcase-style handle. The main compartment is designed to contain a separate DLS pouch that contains the camera as well as two extended lenses. The camera pouch takes up about ¾ of the main compartment. This leaves plenty of room for a camcorder, a smaller digital camera and even a pair of binoculars. There is an open slot/pouch within the main compartment that comfortably holds an iPad (or any other tablet up to 12" wide.)

The outside of the bag has three additional zippered compartments, one with three inner pouches of its own, allowing for plenty of space for cables, batteries, chargers and other accessories. There are also two external mesh side pockets for quick access small needs (lens cleaner, cell phone, commonly used filters, etc.) For a case of its size, it's thoughtful design accommodates a great deal of equipment that its simple external appearance would suggest.

To my delight, it takes up about half the space in the overhead than the backpack did, is far easier to carry around and provides firmer protection for my valuable gear.

At times, I travel with a non-DSL digital camera. This one fits in its own case within this Case Logic Cross Body Bag and creates the space for even more things a second iPad, a small Bluetooth speaker for the iPhone/iPad, a small folding tri-pod and a second set of binoculars. Just because a case is designed for one specific set of purposes, its use is not contained by the intent or by the advertising.

Solidly built of first class materials (no loose threads or imperfect seams to be found) and with what feels like just the right amount of insulation and protective cushioning, this Case Logic bag really does the trick for me. It is NOT inexpensive but, as most of us have come to realize, there are times when we actually do get what we pay for. I recommend it to anyone with needs similar to my own.

Honest reviews on Case Logic FLXM-102 Reflexion DSLR with iPad Medium Cross Body Bag

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I already have the Case Logic DCB-304 High/Fixed Zoom Camera Case (Black) that I bought with my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 12.1 MP Digital Camera with CMOS Sensor and 24x Optical Zoom Black here on Amazon. The camera *barely* fits into the DCB-304 (although it does fit and I use it), so I was looking for something a little bigger when I want to carry other accessories like a flash unit, charger, etc. This FLXM-102 bag fits that bill nicely. It is well-designed to allow you to carry multiple gadgets with you either as a airplane carry-on or road trip or hiking. You can fit many 'flat' items into its multiple zippered and open pockets, like an iPad, phone, e-Reader, even a laptop. Even with the camera and a lens in its separate cinch-top padded holder, there is still some room inside the bag for filters, flash, batteries, etc. There are some stretchy pockets on the outside to carry something in a bottle. I think this bag would be perfect for people who frequently travel and need to bring their electronic items in a stylish, versatile bag.

There are just a couple things I think could make it better: there are no clips or loops to attach a tripod. A way to carry this on your back would be nice for those who hike or cannot use a shoulder strap. The camera bag inside the larger bag could use some velcro or a strap to hold it in place. The bottom of the bag is rubberized material, which is nice, but I think a stiffer or harder material would offer better protection.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Case Logic FLXM-102 Reflexion DSLR with iPad Medium Cross Body Bag

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Case Logic FLXM-102 Reflexion DSLR with iPad Medium Cross Body Bag (Anthracite) is a bag designed to fit many needs: you can carry your DSLR, iPad and Netbook or Ultrabook all in one package. There are additional pockets and compartments to hold your mobile phone, MP3 player and tons of other extras. The downside is that if you really use this bag to hold all that stuff at once, it can get pretty cramped.

PROS:

++ Wide-mouth reinforced opening makes it easy to get your stuff in and out

++ Attractive clean appearance is superior to that of most DSLR bags

++ Padded, removable DSLR pouch easily fits a medium-sized setup and extra lenses

++ Separate area for an Ultrabook, Netbook or tablet inside the main compartment

++ Dedicated front compartments can hold other electronics and accessories

++ Rubberized base provides protection and stability

++ Padded shoulder strap for comfort

++ Fabric handle for holding briefcase style

++ Plenty of extra interior compartments

++ Durable and attractive synthetic material

++ Two external mesh pockets for water bottles

++ Bonus lens cloth included

++ Ergonomic zipper pulls attached to metal zipper heads

++ Includes a 25 year limited warranty

CONS:

-Bag is too small to fully use all compartments at once

-No feet or grips on the base

-A thicker rubber base would have been better

-Plastic loops for the shoulder strap are less durable than metal

-No rain hood for the DSLR pouch is included

-Laptop compartment is in the main compartment (a separate zippered area would have been better)

-Compartment is too small for all but the thinnest ultrabooks and netbooks

-Comes at a premium compared to alternatives

CONCLUSION

This is a good bag to consider if you want the flexibility of sometimes using the DSLR pouch and sometimes using this as a messenger bag. Because of the tight interior design, it's not really ideal as a dedicated DSLR bag. But it's definitely worth considering depending on your needs.

Here's an in depth look at why I chose this holster bag over others...

-CONSTRUCTION-

This bag is very well made, durable stitching and high quality zippers. The top handle is nice and feels solid in your hand.

-PADDING-

Thick padding on the inside and visible yellow inside makes it easy to see your DSLR in low light settings.

-PADDED STRAP-

It comes with a removable, padded strap that has a "grippy" texture that is comfortable to wear. Competitors such as Lowepro Toploader and Tamrac holster bags do not come with a padded strap. This is important especially on long trips since the padded strap will be much more comfortable to have over your shoulder for extended periods of time. Excellent strap, however it could've been a little longer.

-WEATHER COVER-

Great feature. Weather cover folds away into the bottom of the case and is attached to the bag so you won't lose it. The cover doesn't completely cover the side of the bag closest to you but this shouldnt be a problem since it covers the top, front, and sides of the bag.

-SIZE-

Great size. I didn't want something too big and the bag is the perfect size for a DSLR with one lens. Fits great with D90 and kit lens but big enough so that if you want to upgrade your lens, there will be enough room.

-CONS-

No side pockets and front pocket is small. I wish that there were more pockets but it does have a front pocket to store small accessories like a spare battery, lens cloth, or filter. Front pocket does not have too much space but is adequate.

Strap could be a little longer. At max length it goes down to my waist when wore across my shoulder and I'm about 5'10"

5/5 I highly recommend this bag!!

I highly recommend it i am on the go all the time with my equipement and the advantage of this holster is that you can carry it around your neck or into a belt or your harness, if you own one

the top zip cover (that you can open from left or right) helps you to have quick access to the camera. you also have 2 mini pocket into the cover where you can slide memory stick or remote control for your flash. on the front, you also have another zip pocket for additional storage.

the plus of this holster is a quick waterproof cover hidden at the bottom of the holster that you can pull up in a ny second if you get caught into a sudden rain or snow, which is a big plus to protect your quipement against humidity.

it easily fits a SLR body along with a 28/80 lense on it (I use a d3000 Nikon)no piece to build or unbuild ready to shot.

the inside flashy bright yellow is also great with you shot in the dark so you are sure you drop your camera into the bag and not miss it.

it is a no brainer

This is an exceptionally well crafted holster bag. Everything about it screams quality, particularly the padding, zipper seal and inner lining. The integrated rain cover is icing on the cake, and came in handy a few times during a recent month long trip. I've been carrying a Canon T3i plus attached EF-S 15-85mm lens and hood with room to spare, which I use to store my RF remote trigger kit and padded camera strap. Except in the case of a really long lens, you can suspend your camera above the bottom of the bag using the movable (velcro) platform wedges. In my case, I didn't even need to reverse the lens hood, which was really convenient. The front pouch is great for thin items like filters, lens cleaners or extra memory cards. You could probably shove a spare battery in there. The inside of the top flap has two additional pockets sized for memory cards, which is where I put mine. The fact that the top flap opens away from your body was also appreciated. Really, I have nothing bad to say about this bag. At all.

Honest reviews on Ape Case Standard Digital SLR Holster Camera Bag (ACPRO650)

I had eyeballed this bag and the compact plus variant. I thought that I could possibly fit my T3i with an attached lens, plus an additional lens into this bag all at once.

This would allow me the freedom of swapping lenses without having to carry my much larger Amazon DSLR backpack.

By removing the velcro supports I freed up enough space to do what I wanted. I have a 55-250mm zoom lens on my camera, and inside a neoprene pouch is my kit lens (18-55mm).

Any similar sized lens combo should be able to fit just fine!

As far as the quality of the bag it is well made and looks durable. The rain cover is a nice feature! (But I hope I won't ever need it!)

A perfect size of an afternoon's shooting on the go. If you know what you need and don't need to carry a full size gear backpack this is the way to go. Currently it holds a Canon T3 with battery grip w/ a 28-80mm lens with enough room for a 50mm lens in the very bottom. But it will easily fit the T3 body with the 75-300mm lens I know I tried it out.

A padded handle on the top, a belt loop on the back and hooks for included neck/shoulder strap are your carrying options.

Inside is well padded in a bright vibrant yellow w/velcro adjustable camera body supports. On the interior top flap there is storage for memory cards and on the exterior a front vertical zipper for whatnot.

The construction seems very durable with a water repellent fabric, metal zipper pulls w/tags, and quality stitching. And as an added benefit on the rear by the botton is small area with velcro closure inside is an attached rain cover.

Very happy with this purchase.

I was looking for a convenient way to carry all of my camera equipment, and at an affordable price. For under $30 I decided to bite and see what I got (seeing as this had/has no reviews). I'm quite glad I did. For the price you get a nice little bag that comes with velcro inserts (so that you can move them around and adjust them to your liking) that are nicely padded to prevent your items from getting scratches. It says up to 8 lenses and camera, but that mileage my vary depending on the size of your camera and your lenses. I would say even with a pro dslr and a couple larger telezooms you could still get your camera and 5 6 lenses in the main compartment without a problem.

Above the main compartment on the opposite side of the bag are 2 mesh pockets for keeping cords, accessories, whatever. The mesh is a bit on the loose side (although not terribly so), so I wouldnt put anything you're TERRIBLY worried about possibly slipping out in there. On the front outside of the bag there is a rather large zip compartment to put other accesories as well that does its job. I really wish there was at least one more small compartment. Somewhere I can put my Memory cards and extra batteries that was small, secure, and not by everything else... and would be my only real gripe with this bag.

One lovely thing about this though are the straps on either side (so you can choose which side you'd like to put it on) for your tripod. I have a 6" tripod and it fits no problem, you just loosen the straps, set it in there, and then tighten it up and it holds it just fine. Now I have a rather lightweight tripod, so if you're carrying a heavy duty one im not sure how "off balance" having it on one side of you might make you feel, but I can only attest for what I have, and it works great.

The bag is made of a (what feels like, at least) sturdy material, and the weatherproofing looks nice (although if "shiny" materials arent your thing, which they arent really mine, it might take a little getting used to. Also, in the picture the bag looks black with grey accenting. The one I received is black with hunter green accenting. Im not sure if they all come this way or if its a random gamble or what. I dont mind the color so im not going to complain though.

Overall, great bag that could use a little improving here and there, but for its price you cant beat the value.

This is a great pack for the price, its pretty heavy duty and doesnt feel like its going to break at any time soon. There are a lot of different ways that you can make this pack to hold all of your gear. This is currently what I have in it:

-1 nikon d3100 camera body

-1 nikon d90 camera body

-1 18-55mm lens

-1 55-200mm lens

-1 18-200mm lens

-1 50mm lens

-1 external flash

-1 diffuser

-4 lens hoods

-1 battery grip

-1 battery charger

Filters and batteries

Everything fits in there great. The only thing I have a problem with is that the mesh pockets on the inside of the bag are a little lose so I dont really feel safe putting anything important in there. Currently its my business cards and a snack. The front pocket is pretty big it holds all my AA batteries and much more if needed.

I liked the bag's size, but when I put in on my back it was too puffy. I wanted a backpack small enough for my accessories, but not as big as a book bag. This bag had a lot of room for accessories but was to bulky for my taste.

The service was great but I wasn't that impressed with the "stick on" skin for the price. It looks nice on the bloggie but it's difficult to get all the pieces to light up so there are no gaps. Recommend the seller as far as their quick shipping.

I purchased this bag for my Canon Rebel XT. I looked at the other bags that Canon had to offer and chose the 2400 because it was smaller and more compact. It is large enough for me to carry my Canon fs10 camcorder and lots of extras. The extras that came with this bag was a big plus because I needed a uv filter. So if you want a nice compact bag with lots of small compartments then I think you will love this bag.

This bag is a little small but is perfect for me, I have a Rebel XSi with 18-55 mm and 55-250mm lenses with hoods and I can carry both no problem, with either lens on the camera. Although I did have to experiment a bit to get everything to fit in. If you have more than 2 lenses, or an external flash you will definately want to go with a bigger bag. Lots of pockets make carrying the smaller stuff easy, I can get my filters, card reader, spare batteries, cleaning supplies and other odds and ends in nicely. I would recommend this bag to anyone starting out that doesn't have a ton of gear.

All of the extras that came with bag were nice to have as well, although the tabletop tripod does not work for a front heavy SLR, but it works great with my point and shoot. The filters work well and I have not noticed any glare when using them.
