Product is great lightweight and fits the camera. My only negative is the case is a bit tight with the strap attached to the camera. Everything fits but just takes a second to position the strap to get out of the way of the zipper.

My only negative is I wish it had a pocket for an extra memory card.

Best Pillow Pod Camera Support System Deals

Customer Ratings:

Expecting to take a lot of long-distance photos on an upcoming safari in Tanzania, I looked around my box of photo stuff to see what there was to steady my camera and prevent shaky and off-subject shots.

Nearly all photos would be taken from within a stationery Toyota land cruiser with a pop-up top. So my mini-tripod was ruled out, as was the monopod. Neither was suitable for letting me capture moving subjects, for rapid setup, or for working without a flat surface to rest upon.

This beanbag was an ideal solution because of its small size and light weight, and I used it to steady my distant 42x photos and many of the videos. By coincidence, the guide also had a huge beanbag in his vehicle for the same purpose, one as big as a seat cushion and pretty heavy. That was rock-steady, but too unwieldy to grab and use for the oh-my-God! shots.

My one complaint about the featured bag is that it does not contain enough beans to provide sufficient support on all surfaces: specifically, the 1" tubular rail that I placed it on when taking photos. There was no other support for passengers to use, and most of the beans deserted the center and went to the front and rear portions of the bag that drooped over the rail. With more beans, the bag would bend a little, but the center would contain enough beans to provide better support for a camera on odd surfaces.

The bag's maker is at fault for being too cheap in its manufacture. I expect to use this bag again, but only after my wife adds more dry beans, sews it back up, and turns it into a 5-star product.

Review of Domke F-833 Large Photo Courier Bag (Black Canvas)

If you're looking for an inconspicuous way to carry your camera gear, the F-800 line has your bag. They have the same gadgets and customizable camera storage systems you would expect in any other camera bag, but they hide it all behind the charming low-key style of an everyday canvas satchel. They're well made, well organized, and they look better than anything else on the market. This large size F-833, however, might be a little too big. I haven't seen the small and medium (F-831 and F-832 respectively) in person, but I can say from experience that the large (F-833) is ridiculously big. It can hold and organize a stunning amount of stuff, but it looks awkward when you put it on. The point of a messenger style bag is so you can casually walk down the street carrying thousands of dollars in camera equipment without anyone knowing. Then, if you want to take a picture you can spin the bag in front of you, whip it open and grab your camera. Because of its absurdly large size however, spinning a loaded F-833 is out of the question, and finding your camera amongst your 5 lenses, two flashes, and every other nicknack will take a decade. (Paradoxically, if you don't have the F-833 fully loaded, finding your camera isn't any easier since you'll have to search through a pile of excessive padding.) The messenger style is way better suited for carrying an afternoon's worth of shooting stuff, not your whole collection. If you need to carry the amount of stuff this bag can hold then you probably shouldnt get this bag. A backpack will handle the weight of all that equipment much more gracefully.

Camera Rain Cover For Canon Models with lens combinations up to 13" Reviews

I have the much more expensive Kata E-702 Large Digital SLR Camera Raincover, but I like this product better. It's very simple, with an elasticized end that just fits over my Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM Telephoto Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, which has a pretty large diameter (too large for the Kata).

The soft material means it can be folded up very compactly much more so than the rather stiff Kata raincover. It's as easy to pack as a plastic bag, and easy to slip over your camera and lens.

I suppose it might not be as waterproof as the thick plastic Kata if you're out taking photos in a hurricane. And the Kata has the advantage of being transparent, so you can read your LCD screen through it. (Though realistically, if it's raining, you can't see that much anyway.) All in all, I find this a much more useful product, not to mention cheaper. My thanks to whoever invented it. I love it.

This is a good cover, the design is fantastic... BUT it only stayed 'water-resistant' for my DSLR for about 5 minutes before it turned into a saturated mess. I dont know what happened, but the water beaded off for about 5 minutes before it started leaking through and I had to stash my camera. I guess for the pirce it's ok, but if you have expensive gear I would look for something a bit more reliable.

I bought this because I often shoot very close to breaking surf and all too often get salt water on my camera (not good!). I tried a rainsleeve from Op/Tech but it was too small for the camera and my hands and wouldn't work on a tripod. The reviews here convinced me to give this one a try and I'm glad I did. It's simple design is effective: I got a bit drenched today, but my camera stayed dry!

I use this with a Nikon D5000 and an 18-200mm VR zoom (medium size lens). It fits the rig with room to spare. The bottom opening allows use with a tripod and the fabric doesn't block the infrared remote. In fact, I can now use the remote from behind as well as in front since the the fabric reflects enough of the beam to trigger the camera sensor.

In short, this product is not only functional, but very compact and easy to use. That means I'll actually carry it with the camera all the time.

Highly recommended.

Update, Sept 2011. I still love this cover. Don't leave home without it!

Honest reviews on Camera Rain Cover For Canon Models with lens combinations up to 13"

I received the rain cover on Wednesday and Friday night I had to photograph a football game in the rain. It worked. I need to use it more to be able to feel more comfortable with adjusting my camera setting while it is on. When I first saw this cover I thought, why couldn't I have invented this? It is truly a "simple" idea and all I can say is, I spent 4 hours in non stop rain and my gear did not get wet. I am glad that I bought it.

Great product for the cost. Saved me potential damage to my Canon Rebel Xti, when a surprise rain shower came upon me.

Best Kata DH-425 DPS Series Digital Holster Style Case for DSLR Camera Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this bag for my Nikon D300 with 18-200mm zoom lens. The bag has sufficient room for this combo. I ordered it due to it having the most compact size and adequate padding/protection. I also wanted the belt loop. I only wish it had an external pocket for holding a spare battery and lens filters, as there is nowhere to put them. When taking more gear, a larger bag is necessary. This one is fine for holding just the camera and lens combo. Nicely made too.

The bag is excellent. It does not have a lot of space, but it fits my nikon d90 with 18-105 lens and many memories. I knew about the space capacity before I ordered it, but I was ok with it because I wanted something small and easy to carry. I love it.

Honest reviews on Kata DH-425 DPS Series Digital Holster Style Case for DSLR Camera

After reading the info on the case I decided to order it. I was excited to

use the bag, but when it arrived there was no way it was going to fit

my Sony a700 and my Sony 16-105mm lens. Very disappointing.

The case is nice and not as conspicuous as most. I would have loved

to have used it. It didn't scream "Steal me I'm a camera case" either which

was one of the attributes I was looking for as well as the top load

and the ability to use it as a holster.

I wound up using a Crumpler which looks nothing like a camera case

and it was perfect for a trip to Europe and I was able to carry a 55-200mm

lens in the case as well. I used the "3 Million Dollar" home bag and was able

to carry not only my camera with my 16-105, the 55-200mm lens, but lens

pen, extra battery and CF cards as well as stashing my passport from time

to time. I think I might get the "4 Million Dollar" next time.

Take off the Crumpler label and not one will know.

Reviews of Pelican 1550 Case with Foam for Camera (Orange)

List Price: $235.95

The search for a gear bodyguard is over. I've started doing more location photography and wanted to upgrade my bags/cases for three main reasons:

1) Better protection in transit

2) Easier management and accessibility of gear

3) Consolidation of gear to reduce number of bags/cases to haul around

This case solves all three needs quite nicely. It's just deep enough to store body & lens together, and some items can be nested or stacked to optimize space (for example, one of my larger flashes is stored horizontally with spare batteries nested in the bottom foam layer). I was worried about fitting everything in this case, but I actually have enough room left over for another lens.

Here's a generic list of everything I was able to comfortably fit into the Pelican 1550:

-dSLR + attached wide angle zoom lens

-additional midrange zoom lens

-5 flash units

-6 flash transceivers

-pano head

-4 spare AA batteries

-portable field recorder

-misc (wb card, spare sd cards, flash filters, trigger cable, flash feet)

Hints for successful packing:

1. Plan ahead! Draw up a diagram, cut out shaped templates, whatever you need to do to get the foam plucked out right the first time. It will save the headache of Super-77 repairs or the old "painting yourself into a corner" syndrome of haphazard packing.

2. Use a smallish bread knife to easily cut through the perforated foam. Yes, it's called "pick-n-pluck", but the foam squares are still connected pretty securely. I finely serrated knife will make quick work of it. Pick a knife with symmetrical serrations (like this /\) as opposed to right-angle serrations (like this /|).

3. Remember that your gear can poke out of the top a bit. You have about 1 1/2" of space above the top foam layer that is taken up by the lid foam, so utilize that space to reduce gear movement and take advantage of that extra space.

4. Pimp it out! Order some vinyl lettering and put your company name on the outside of the box. Or just get a biohazard sticker for the front and add a pair of handcuffs to the handle.

Perfect for what I bought it for. I train a great deal and need certain tools at my fingertips. I made this case my training kit and everything I need is in it. I simply ship it from venue to venue. It is sturdy, well constructed, easy to handle and no matter where I have it shipped, all I have to say is...did a large, orange case arrive for me...and they know exactly what I'm talking about! I LOVE my Pelican case and highly recommend it! One word of caution, I purchased recommended TSA locks for the case and my last shipment came back sans one lock. I believe this occurred in shipping. At $12+ per lock, I'm not a happy camper. You may want to find a lock with a thicker flexible cable, or a thinner solid locking mechanism.
