Review Naneu Military OPS Alpha camera bag review

[Stevies]

Hi guys,

Further to the thread here I ended up going for the Naneu Military OPS Alpha camera bag so I thought I would post a brief review of the bag. The review was carried out with a Fuji S1000 so the photo and video quality isn't great but it is better than nothing!

Some photographs first:

Main compartment. At the minute there is just a rain cover and a Giottos rocket air blower in there but plenty of space for a lunch box by Exif Data | Stephen Scott, on Flickr


From the back. This shows the thick straps including for around the waist band. by Exif Data | Stephen Scott, on Flickr


These are the flaps that cover the camera compartment. The camera compartment lifts out completely and the divider with the main bag can also be removed to create one big ruck sack. by Exif Data | Stephen Scott, on Flickr


My current layout. This shows the 60D with the 24-70 f2.8, 18-55 IS II in front and 70-200 f2.8 behind with the Speedlite 430 EX II on top of it. Beside that are assorted caps and a spare battery by Exif Data | Stephen Scott, on Flickr

A quick YouTube video review can be found here and shows a complete walk around off the bag. I'm very impressed with it so far as it holds all my kit with loads of room to spare.

Thanks for looking

How did you go about buying the bag? Had a look on the Naneu website and can't see a UK distributor for them. Was looking at getting the Black Ops Bravo.

Sorry, I intended to put that in the first post. I was pointed to a site in Poland by Phil (not sure his user name here) called cyfrowe.pl. I ordered it on the Friday before Christmas and it arrived a few days ago. I had initially intended to go for the Alpha L in black but was able to get the ordinary Alpha for the equivalent of £40 and £20 postage in Olive so thought that it was worth the chance. Really pleased that I have as well and now that the olive colour is here I like the look of it. Doesn't shout camera bag so much. I had contacted Naneu and the closest distributor they had was in Holland as far as I remember and they thought it would be the end of January before they had stock. From what I can gather stock has been very slow to come form the factory though.

Thanks

Stevie
