There have been a couple of threads on this, but I picked the bag up today and thought I'd do a quick review.
Purchase price £18.99 colour variations (from what I saw) Grey and Navy Blue.
First impressions were in the wrapper it felt quite chunky, once opened up the general looks were not to bad, OK so its not a Lowepro, but for the cost, only a seasoned pro would know its a cheap option. Its quite small and compact too, so nothing too big to lug around.
Its definately got a lot of pockets and zippers etc...some I'm not quite sure yet what they are for.
Here is a picture breakdown with brief descriptions....
Straight out the bag
Front compartments, with various pockets, one full length
Another full length pocket on the (inside) of the back, this is also padded, you may just squeese a small laptop in there (just)
A very usefull rain cover, it looks quite waterproof, it is seperate from the bag and stores in the bottom zip compartment. I suppose you could test how waterproof it is buy chucking it in the sink etc..thus not harming any kit.
With waterproof cover in place, neat and tidy
Last one for the outside, little fly out pouch (X) that the bottom of your tripod sits in, marked are the straps that would hold the rest of your tripod
On the inside compartment there are some velcro supports that hold up the comparment cover, should you require this
Lots of sections that you can adjust to suit, also some more pockets with mesh type sides
Finally a quick fill up of gear, from the left Sigma 10-20/Canon18-55/Carger/350d with 24-105L stuck on/nifty fifty(50mm)/Sigma 70-300/430EX flash. And as you can see still more room....
Conclusion, for £19 you cannot go wrong, its worth getting even if you have another bag which I do. It makes a great spare or just handy for myself where I can put a lens on my camera stick it in the bag with a few other bits and bobs and your ready for anything. Its got the added bonus of lots of storage, waterproof covering and teh handy tripod holder. HTH anyone thinking of getting one.
