Still no bag. Just cancelled my subscription. They told me they are sorry they are out of them, and can't get anymore.:bang::bang::bang:

No doubt it says "while stocks last" somewhere in the small print. They could send me a monopod instead
It does, but they say replacement gift must be to the same value or above. They quote the bag as being worth £65. I bet the monopod isn't to that value!
We sound like a load of old crocks. I always use 2 poles when coming down hill and always take a knee brace or 2 if coming down a mountain, due to arthritis in my knee joints.
My solution at the moment is to leave my DSLR at home on mountains and take my creative compact. Not ideal I must admit, but needs must.
I imagine that the best solution would be to get a good quality Manfrotto monopod or similar, because anything which operates by twisting rather than sliding type clips is just impossible to adjust (in my opinion) though others may disagree.
Another crock:bang: see above. Could be the weight of our camera bags. My bag is quite light however, due to the fact that it hasn't arrived yet.
Thankfully my knee problem isn't arthritis, something to do with my kneecap and anti-inflams do the trick when it plays up so as long as I take care it shouldn't get any worse, hence the need to get a pole.
Interestingly, I've been to the Doc's twice with it and both times I could tell he was heading down the 'take Ibuprofen and rest it' route but I mentioned that it interferes with my walking and he look confused - probably because I'd walked into the surgery OK - so asked what I meant; I told him I go out walking, he asked how far I walked, 'oh, 15-20 miles'; all of a sudden he takes a lot more interest

My bag arrived today i still can't fit all my gear in, 2 bags required, stll a good bag, bit tight could have done with a bigger one.
Regards Mark.
I subscribed I think on Tuesday, to Photoplus and had a Flipside 200 arrive yesterday as they were out of the Fastpack 200's
But I have a Nikon! Now if only Future would bring out a PhotoPlus (Nikon edition) I'd be happy!
used my fastback 250 for the first time today.put my sony alpha 350 with the 17-70 sigma and 75-300 sony lens' in it,plus a circ pol,some cokin filters and bits and bobs to boot.plenty of space for that and more in the other compartments too.it's very comfortable on the back,and when i needed to,easy to get into the position for quick removal of your camera...
i am loving this bag already,and will definately be my walkabout bag when i don't need to carry everything plus the kitchen sink...highly recommended

I got a flipside 200 (blue for boys)this morning, that will do nicely for ones panny stuff ones thinks
Yeah me too but it's better than the bag I already have and it was free so I guess I should be happy

Tried it out this morning and it worked really well. I was only taking D80 and Sigma 10-20 lens in it though, but I also had room for a waterproof and could have got a couple of other lens in too if I had wanted to. The other thing in it's favour, it makes a nice support for the camera when you haven't got a tripod with you.
Still waiting for mine to arrive

Wow Parish - you're patient. I hope it arrives soon for you. I lost my temper and cancelled the subscription, but now sorry I did as I really liked the magazine.:bang:
By the way, you can cancel your subscription in writing but you are still liable for the first quarter subscription £11.95 in my case,
Parish, I subscribed via the original url in your post.
I noticed aftwerwards that you'd edited you post and added a different url and if I remember correctly, this was to get the first 3 editions of the mag for £1 each?
Obviously by then it was too late for me but my bag arrived a couple of weeks ago.
I'm just wondering if the problem was down to the offer with the 2nd url?
