Yes! Yes! Yes! Buy this!
July 3, 2016
I am really impressed!I did see the review saying it was bigger than expected. (It really can hold two sets of cameras + lens!) It was probably the reason I decided on this one instead of a smaller purple but similar bag from a different company. The reason being is that I am about to embark on a trip around Europe for two weeks and I needed something that was a bit rugged. My last bag couldn't handled a weekend trip in Paris and the outer shell ripped! So I was looking for something that was not only a camera bag but also a good day trip purse/bag.Well this is it. I am sure of it. I wasn't sure if I would like the bigger look, but with the rectangle foam insert removed it really does a nice job hugging my body comfortably. With it fully loaded with my camera, books, purse, and water bottle... or camera + a light jacket, I barely felt the weight of it.My only cons are these;(1) The strap's buckle doesn't slide through the padding. I suppose this will prevent it from sliding, but on first impression it means if I decide to wear it shorter I can only wear it on one way... well it's not that noticeable because the "buckle" actually does sit on the padding a bit.(2) This bag would have done well to either have additional accessories that I could buy and Velcro to say a panel inside the front pocket... a way for a lens brush or pens to be organized or a smaller rectangle for carrying only one camera. (As it is I rigged it with the panel inserts from this bag and the original camera bag to create a smaller bag. Why? I only have one camera and I wanted to use the other half of the bag for other things.All in all, you really can't beat the price of the bag! Oh and my husband keeps trying to see if he can take it off my hands. Um, no... it's time to get your own buster! In the meantime I'm heading out to test this on the road and will update in a couple of weeks!
Love this bag
March 6, 2016
I've had this bag for about 8 months or so now, and I've used it literally everyday. It works great as an everyday bag as well as a camera bag. It's really durable and water resistant. I personally never use the front buckles (way too much work to hook and unhook), but the zippers are just fine. I especially love that it doesn't look like a traditional camera bag. I like to draw as little attention to myself as possible when I'm out taking pictures.When I pack my Nikon D3300 in the bag, I can also easily fit my phone, wallet, 8inch tablet, travel documents, and a small snack, and still close the bag. It works perfectly for my amateur needs. Really love it! :-)
Great Camera Bag ! Not Perfect but very nice ! Very Versitle !
November 8, 2015
I really love this bag.Appearance:It does not look like a camera bag which would make this tempting for thieves to grab and run with if they think thousands of dollars of expensive camera equipment is inside. I love that as it does not scream "EXPENSIVE NIKON INSIDE" as my Nikon Bag does with it's Nikon Badge !The color is nice and does not draw attention. People don't know if I have camera gear inside or dirty underwear, old tee-shirts and overnight toiletries inside. It looks like an overnight duffle type bag. In fact, you can remove the center shock-proof compartment and use it as a small overnight bag or a large purse if you like.When it arrived, it was shipped with the canvas bag rolled up to fit inside of the shock-proof box. This caused the bag to have unsightly wrinkles all over it and to lose shape. I slightly sprayed the bag it with a coating of water and tossed it in the dryer on low for a few minutes (WITHOUT the foam shock-proof box). This caused most of the canvas wrinkles to relax and look a little better. You can try a few fabric softener dryer sheets also to see if that may help.Construction:It appears to be well made (although I have not yet put it through rigorous conditions such as hiking or traveling yet).I would NOT say that it is "waterproof" as the description states. It may be water resistant to light moisture, but NOT waterproof.I really wish that the side pockets had zippers to prevent items from falling out or pick-pockets reaching in to remove (steal) something. The side pockets are very vulnerable to someone lifting something out of them. I would NOT put anything of any value in the side pockets such as a cell phone or wallet for these fears. The most I would put in the side pockets would probably be some lens cleaning cloths, a snack bar or bag of nuts, maybe a "small" water bottle if it would fit, or a pocket flashlight. I would not feel secure putting a lens or a cell phone or wallet in the side pockets.The 2 buckles in front do nothing for the top flap. Which is OK. It merely makes the bag look more stylish and rugged and the snaps under the buckle belts simply hold the flap down from being opened in the wind or by brushing up against something. The top flap would also help keep light moisture or light rain from entering the main compartment for a short time.The main (center) compartment (under the top flap) is zippered, So expensive items (camera and lenses) will not bounce out and pick-pocket thieves will have a more difficult time reaching in and taking something out without your knowledge. The zipper also helps seal out light moisture or light rainfall.Size:This bag is NOT huge as many reviewers made it appear. It is a larger bag and is much more roomy than my Nikon Bag.I comfortably keep my Nikon D7100 in it with one lens attached to the body in the center of the main compartment. I put the foam removable compartment dividers on both sides of the camera body placed in the center of the main compartment. On the sides of the camera, I am able to put an additional lens on each side. So with this configuration, I can put a total of 3 lenses in it with my camera body.The main compartment (center) has a rectangle-shaped shockproof foam-type box that you put your camera gear into. Around the outside perimeter of this foam box (between the inside canvas sides and outside of shock-proof box) you can squeeze in your battery charger and cord and other smaller (thin) items such as a manual, magazine, lens filter kit, cleaning kit, extra lens caps or extra camera strap, ect.In the main compartment (but towards the rear inside) is an additional internal hanging-zippered compartment. This is not inside of the shock-proof foam box. It is a nice addition and this is where I would place my cell phone or wallet as it is zippered and is "inside" of the bag (in the main compartment). Items have no chance of bouncing out or a pick-pocket would have a hard time reaching into the bag, unzipping the main compartment and then unzipping the internal hanging compartment to retrieve your wallet or phone without your knowledge. You could even put your point-and-shoot camera in this back, internal compartment. But it would only be protected on one side of the shock-proof compartment and would be subject to impact at the rear of the bag (although I would not be concerned with this as that is where it would be placed against you as it hangs against your body.)In the front of the bag under the front flap (under the front buckle location) is a small zippered compartment that is large enough to comfortably store my 10.1 Inch Galaxy Note Tablet. I would assume that you could probably store a small 10 or 11 inch laptop in this front-zippered compartment. But I don't have a small 10 or 11 inch laptop to confirm. It does fit my 10.1 inch Tablet very comfortably though. This front compartment however, is not surrounded by foam protection other than would be to the rear of this area.The side pockets are useful only for non-valuables as there are no zippers and no shock proof protection on either of them.I hang an inexpensive aluminum pocket flashlight from the side buckle loops with a D-Ring (carabiner).There are NO straps at the bottom to attach a monopod or small tripod to the bag.I hope this review helps determine if this bag is for you.The price is right !
Love this case!
July 17, 2015
I love this case! It's really nice looking and everything fits (camera, two lenses, and some extras) with a little extra room. It does not look like a camera bag, which makes me more comfortable that it would be less likely to be stolen. It is waterproof, I took it where there were falls and it got splashed a lot. The strap is very comfortable and the whole bag is very durable. The two straps that close it are not high quality but they should hold up fine since there's not pressure on them, they just keep the flap closed.
f you're on the fence about this bag, don't be. It's well worth the price.
January 21, 2015
This bag is a fantastic camera bag. It is basically an over the shoulder messenger bag with a large padded insert for the camera along with a few dividers. This insert is easily big enough to fit a decent sized DSLR with a lens on it, along with 2 other lenses. This is my standard kit when I go out with this bag. There is also a large front pocket where you cans store odds and ends, extra film, lens caps, memory cards, batteries etc. Two pockets also sit on either end of the bag, they're reletively small, but easily large enough to hold a phone or ipod, some snacks, that type of thing. And all this rests along the one wide shoulder strap. The strap being very wide is important here, because it evens out the weight of the bags contents very well and even after long walks or hikes I rarely feel a strain on my arms.That all being said, this back also looks great too. Just has a classic stylish look to it that has gotten many compliments. It also doesn't look like a typical camera bag at first glance, something that may be good depending on the circumstance.And finally, if you would like to, you can just remove the padded insert and have a very large over the shoulder bag. Great for school or just for tossing some cloths in to go over to a mates house. It's a fantastic bag that ticks all the correct boxes. If you're on the fence about this bag, don't be. It's well worth the price.

Love this bag! I'm a paramedic and use it as my truck bag to keep all my necessities in from good to electronics, and it's perfect. Well made, double stitching, I kept the divider in out to organize, it is adjustable with Velcro on both sides. It fits in the can our throw it in back, very portable and looks great.

Very Nice bag
August 25, 2017
Initial Review - Aug 2017This is a great bag for the price. Nice and roomy, wide shoulder strap, some nice deep pockets. Has a very nostalgic look to it.The insert will hold one camera several lenses and larger accessories or two cameras and a few lenses or larger accessories. Around the padded insert there is room for a small laptop/table and some other things. The canvas is nice, feels like it can hold up to a lot of abuse. I haven't had a chance to confirm if it is water proof, but living in FL I am sure I will have no problem testing it sometime during a future down pour. I haven't figured out how or if I can pack along my travel tripod with this bag. I'll have to play around with it and see what I can come up with. The straps on the outside are nice as they are snapped down or buckled down.The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the lack of organization in the front pocket. It lacks pen loops, small accessory pockets/slots. If that was built in then this would on initial inspection and use would be a 5 star bag.
Good design, perfect amount of storage for M43 user, stitching strength looks sketchy, band handle placement.
April 12, 2017
I love this bag. It would've been 5 stars except for two things.Both the stitching on the straps and the quality of the leather straps is both uninspiring of trust and appreciation for the overall good design of the bag. They should have used nice heavy leather or just used big heavy double folded nylon straps with riveted eyeholes.. They are not double stiched. Also, the top handle is neither in a good spot to balance the stress across the stitching on the handle nor does the stitching look like it was as rugged as it should be for a camera bag. That said...I really like the material the bag is made out of on both the inside and outside. The front pocket is well designed. I haven't gotten it wet yet, but it feels like there is a separate lining on the inside to help keep water from soaking straight through. It is the PERFECT size bag for someone going for the most balance between small and full featured mirrorless camera kit. In this bag I easily can fit my:E-M5 MK II, 4 batteries, 12-40mm f/2.8 M.Zuiko Pro, 75mm 1.8 prime, 7.5mm Rokinon fisheye, Shure Lenshopper VP83F, iPad Pro 10" (vertically oriented in back pouch, inside a Logitech keyboard case), Leatherman bit set, SD card holder, extra batteries and cable for VP83F, and that's just the most common configuration. I can usually squeeze in considerably more.
Great bag, but not enough small pockets. Still worth it thought.
February 28, 2016
Great bag! I have now had this bag for several weeks and taken it to the zoo, on a day trip walking around a park, whale watching, to a museum, and to sea world. One thing I was looking for in a new bag was a pocket on the side for a cup. This doesn't have that, but the side pocket is just the right size to hold a cup firmly without it falling out. Like others mentioned, different parts seem to wear after the first use, but for me I don't see it affecting the quality of how well it holds up, but gives it the character of a bag that is well used. I do not know if it was intentional, but it definitely, to me, adds the character I want in a bag without spending a lot of time breaking it in.It is super easy to use and get into when I need to switch lenses and has plenty of space. I even put a sweatshirt in there without it getting in the way of me reaching for a lens and my camera and the bag still securely and easily zipped shut and the bag snapped closed. I am super impressed with the amount of space!The best one complaint I have is there aren't enough "knick-knack" pockets. There is the one pocket inside the larger portion, good for storing extra batteries and, in a case, extra cards. I also throw my remote shutter in there, but feel like it is, in some ways, too big. But, since there aren't other little pockets or spaces to use, the size somewhat makes sense. I think it would be better to have the pocket maybe half the size and have two or three across the back. Also, the front side pocket is just a large open space. I would love to see some strategic dividers in there to slip in maybe a cellphone pocket, a key hook, a pocket to slide in tickets, a divider if I want to slide my iPad in, just simple little pockets if that makes sense. I like be the size of it and will probably work to create something of my own for it.The strap is amazingly long. I am not a small person and this step, fully extended, worn cross body, still has the bag falling below my butt (way too late no, so amazing to me that I actually have to shorten the strap a bit).Overall, I love this bag. I'll probably make some personal tweaks to make it work better for me, but overall a great value for the price.
Roomy, versatile, inexpensive.
July 22, 2015
I like the aesthetic of this bag, and it is very roomy. The fact that it could be used for more than just a camera bag is a definite plus. Take the padded liner out and you can easily use this as a diaper or overnight bag. It is canvas and has kept my gear dry in a mist, but to call this bag WATERPROOF might be pushing things a bit. The bag definitely does not repel water to the extent of beading it up and rolling it off. I wouldn't take it in a proper rain, nor would I sit it on a wet surface.The straps are heavier canvas, and the 'buckles' completely aesthetic. The top flap secures with snaps, as do the side closures. The mail compartment also zips closed. The shoulder strap adjusts front points where I could carry the bag at my ribs or down below my knees (I am 5'3") and is not detachable.I would have preferred to have a divider inside the bag, as there is only a little zippered pouch like you would find in a purse, and there is plenty of room inside for the padded insert and other items, but there just isn't any way to keep smaller items from going loose in the bottom of the bag. The front compartment is large enough for a tablet device, but provides no padding as protection. Side pockets will not accommodate anything the size of a bottle of water, but maybe some lens cleaning supplies or your phone. (I do carry a litre water bottle inside the main compartment outside the padded insert though.) Again, these compartments are not padded and no good for delicate camera gear.The padded liner has two movable dividers so you can create up to three compartments. I shoot with an Olympus micro 4/3 format, so my body (@ 2x3x5") and lenses are smaller than those you find on regular 4/3 DSLR cameras. I can lay my camera on its back with my largest lens (7") attached, and still have two other divisions in the insert for two smaller lenses, 2 filter cases, a macro attachment, and room left pver. My lenses are relatively small and can rattle around against each other without some Tetris-like arrangement of the lenses and padded filter cases. I would not care to speculate how much gear you could carry, due simply to the sheer range of equipment out there.Overall, this is a good versatile bag, especially at half the price of other affordable bags of this style.
An adventure right out of the box...

I like this bag, I really do. The bag itself is quite cavernous, and the extra pocket sewn inside the main compartment is useful.The padded insert is sturdy, but essentially eats up most of the useable space. I ended up replacing it with an ApeCase insert for $15. Not really necessary, but I did it anyways.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GA6CS4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The bag isn't waterproofed as much as really water resistant. I ran the bag under a running faucet, and most of the water ran right off of the bag. I was able to brush a few drops off after turning the faucet off, but the canvas material was a little damp. So waterproofing kind of works, but I've got a rain cover from a Think Tank bag in case of real rain.The buttons (like so many have said) are not very pleasant to use. I ended up digging them out and replacing with magnetic buttons for $6 (see picture of new buttons). Didn't bother with the buttons on the side pockets.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T7OC7Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1The pull tab came apart the second day I had this bag. I ended up replacing that one and the other (precautionary measure) with something more robust for $9 (see picture of zipper tabs).http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004L229CA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The last improvement I made was to attach a nylon handle at the top of the bag so that it'll be easier to move around (see picture of new nylon handle). I bought a roll of nylon for $12, and spent a few days trying to figure out how to use my wife's sewing machine (it's her's, I swear... :P). Lost count of how many times I had to resew that thing to get it right (still looks like Frankenstein bag).http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ILSW3A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Totaling everything up that I spent specifically for this bag:Bag $32Magnetic buttons: $6Replacement zipper pulls: $9Nylon for handle: $12Gaining a new respect for people who know how to use a sewing machine: pricelessSo why give this bag four stars? For $32, it's a good starting point for the makings of a great bag. Besides, I've enjoyed an adventure with it already before taking it out for adventures outside. Hopefully the rest of the thing stays intact through my travels...
Good deal for the money but....
December 31, 2013
I use this bag to carry a D5100 w/ a 18-105mm lens, a 70-300mm lens and a flash unit. This leaves LOTS of extra room for batteries, remote shutter control, filters, ect. I initially thought the canvas material was a bit thin but after carrying it for a few days, it feels about right. (I take my camera with me almost everywhere) I like the fact that the bag does not shout 'I'm an expensive camera, please steal me!'. I would like to see the manufacturer increase the thickness of the protective insert. The bottom, at least could stand to be at least double the 1/2-3/4" present thickness. I solved this by inserting an additional layer of foam padding in the bottom that I had. The shoulder strap is long & wide enough. (I'm 6'3") and the pad is ok. I would really like to see an additional handle strap added to the top for those times you need to make a one hand grab. Overall, I'm very pleased. I'll take leather and canvas over nylon any day.....

Not suitable for camera AND laptop, but excellent price for a camera bag
February 28, 2017
I think most of the people that buy this bag will be using it primarily for a camera, which makes sense as it's described as a camera bag. In the product description, however, it states it will accommodate a 13" laptop, which is where I ran into difficulties.First of all, it's a nice bag and doesn't scream camera bag which is great. The main compartment has a padded slot for your tablet or laptop and another larger area with an additional padded pouch for your camera body and a small to medium length lens. Overall the build seems OK, although I haven't really used it. There are also two zippered pockets on the flap as well as another (slightly) larger pocket on the outside of the main compartment.Drawbacks:As noted above, it will (barely) fit a 13" 2016 MBPro, which is pretty small for a 13" laptop. You have to jam it in vertically - when I first got the bag I thought they shipped me the small version by mistake as there was no way I could see my MBP going in there horizontally. Once you put the laptop in, however, the outside buckle straps can't be lengthened so there is NO WAY you can close the straps.Also, even without the laptop, the outside pockets are somewhat limiting. With just a DSLR in there, you could fit some slim things in the pockets but you'd struggle to put in an external drive or power brick for example.It's too bad as the bag seems very nice otherwise and the price is right for sure. The bag is a great size as long as you don't need to tote your computer with you.
Good enough for camera and lenses
January 14, 2017
Good enough for camera and lenses. Good enough quality and value but construction not so good. The buckles are NOT attached and all have come off and lost in just a few uses. Big bummer... looks cheap and ugly now. I suppose, if you sew, you could sew them in place BEFORE using it. Strap is nice. Bag size is good. Camera, two additional lenses and a bunch of accessories fit. Easy to carry and continue shooting. Sturdy yet forgiving. Indeed waterproof. Color is very, very close to picture.

October 12, 2016
I am so bummed! first off, let me say this bag is soooo cool looking! But it is way too big for someone with just a camera and maybe one extra lens. The insulated box that goes inside is too small in comparison to the bag itself, leaving too much room for the box to move around and it only has room for the camera with the lens and an extra lens. Again, the bag is cool, lots of storage outside but the it needs a bigger insulated insert box.Off to search for different bag :(
Good but not Great bag
July 5, 2016
The bag is a great size for either a camera bag or day bag. Plenty of storage room. The main problem I have had is that the snaps pop open too easily. It becomes a bit of a nuisance having to snap them shut frequently.One design flaw is that there is no short handle on top. You can only lift if using the long shoulder strap. The bag would be a lot easier to use if it had an additional short handle on top. While the bag is listed as waterproof, remember that it's just the fabric that is water repellent, not the zippers. They do leak water inside.
Not bad, but not great
November 4, 2015
I agree with the many reviewers that the bag is roomy and doesn't shout out "steal me if you want a expensive bag full of high end camera equipment." My two major complaints are that the small buckles on the front fall off; I have already lost one and if anyone knows where to purchase a replacement I would appreciate a note. I wrote the manufacturer concerning this and never did hear back. Also, a carry handle would be convenient. It's sometimes awkward to grab the bag by the shoulder strap. Overall it gets the job done, the price point is nice, but a few minor improvements would make this a much nicer bag.
Good bag for the price, returned mine due to bad front zipper.
October 10, 2015
Bought this item to use as a camera back for my Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 55-210mm and 16-50mm Power Zoom Lenses mirrorless camera. The bag arrived quickly and was well packaged. My unit was not made by Bestek, it was sent with a brand name that began with C. Overall quality was good for the price but the front zipper was damaged, and would not self repair, so I sent it back and bought a bag locally (timing).Overall this product seemed to be a decent quality bag, with sufficient padding to protect a camera assuming you are not intentionally careless. It really does have a lot of pockets which are easily accessed and ergonomically located. I was able to fit a small tablet, headphones, extra batteries and lenses without feeling like it was crowded. I was not able to test how waterproof the bag would be outdoors, but a small amount of water easily rolled off the fabric, long term I would plan to apply something like Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing in order to ensure that it stays that way.The only two things I question for long term use are the zippers which seemed extraordinarily cheap, and the connections between the bag and shoulder strap which seemed secure, but were not double stitched.

I had this for one month and it broke!!
July 11, 2016
I do not recommend this bag. After a month of using it carefully, the strap started to tear. In fact I had to sew it back on with fishing string. Also the area where you put the camera body, does not even have a good amount of space for my d3300 which is a pretty small camera. even though it says it fits an SLR or DSLR, I can not imagine having anything bigger than my camera. This bag is probably only good for a small mirrorless camera with a lens or two. And the back strap that you are supposed to pick it up by, seems like its going to rip off if you have things in the bag. I am 13 years old and am very disappointed that I spent my money on a bag that I thought would be a very good quality bag as said in the description.
Not for me.
February 18, 2016
After researching camera bags for what felt like forever, I finally settled on this bag by Bestek. The unique color and design grabbed my attention, and I thought this would provide the ideal balance of protection, style, and comfort.Well, it certainly is stylish...Bag looks pretty good in person, except that all the "leather" looking trim is fairly obviously a super cheap fake. Ok, I can live with that at this price point.Stitching seems pretty good overall, but some design decisions I question. Like cheap small buttons hidden beneath fake straps on the front, and the cheap fake leather sewed to the bag and strap. But ok, I can probably live with that for under $40.Then I put the padding insert inside the actual bag. Then I noticed what made this bag the wrong one for me. Inside you're left with three huge compartments. Ok. Well, the bag is fairly large, which I wanted, but this is supposed to hold my Nikon d3200 and lenses and a Panasonic Panasonic camcorder. I placed all three inside the bag, tried to tighten up the space using the velcro spacers, and everything just kind of bounced around inside. This thing needs more dividers to be useful!Returned it and found a bag with more dividers and attention to detail for around the same price point. If this wasn't for a dslr I'd give it a 3.5 maybe, but it's supposed to function for cameras, which it doesn't do safely or effectively. Meh.

December 4, 2015
Great pricing, definitely waterproof canvas bag (I poured a bit of water on the bag and the drops just slid right off), can even fit my 15" mac retina along with the camera insertNote that the camera insert is slightly smaller than the entire interior of the bag, so if you want to put a small drink bottle inside the bag but not with your camera equipment that is very viable.DISAPPOINTING FACTOR: just one thing - my bag came in with a buckle missing! It doesn't pose a huge security issue because it's got a zip, but now I can't carry anything beneath the flap. :( it would be great if BESTEK would be able to supply a small replacement part. Otherwise I'll have to return the whole thing.
Bag failed after 1 month of serious travel and daily use
October 8, 2015
I used this product for 1 month (30 days), daily. I used it as a shoulder bag in addition to a backpacking rig to travel on buses, trains and aircraft around Taiwan and Japan. After 3 days the zipper tags fell off and had to be replaced with key rings. After 3 weeks the main zipper broke, leaving the main compartment exposed. The rings that the canvas shoulder strap connect to warped.This product failed to meet professional use standards. It quickly fell apart. It might be okay to take out a few holiday weekends a year but not for serious, sustained use. Definitely not an heirloom. I liked the functionality it provided when it worked, and if the bag were of better quality I'd recommend the system.
Nice look, but too small for my use, and not likely waterproof.
September 14, 2015
I am planning to return this item for two reasons. First, it is small. A full frame Nikon with 70-200 lens barely fits inside the main compartment and leaves room for nothing else - not even in the front compartment because the bag is bulged out with camera and lens attached inside. Secondly, I didn't test it but this bag doesn't seem to be waterproof. It is canvas but up here in the Pacific Northwest I wouldn't trust it in the rain. The small pockets on the side are definitely not waterproof, as there is just a flap that covers the top of them, and leaves room for water to get in.That being said, this isn't for me and my needs, but it would probably repel some splashing or light rain for a little while while keeping things in the big main pocket dry. I do like the look and feel of it and the canvas is nice, I just wish it were big enough to fit a full frame dslr and a few lenses I need with me.
Nice design but it ripped.....
September 22, 2014
I really wanted to like this bag. It looks good and is the perfect style that does not announce that there is an expensive camera in the back seat of the car. I purchased it for a trip abroad, packed with the essential camera gear and much more. The first time I went to use it - and unzip the external pouch where I was storing cables and other accessories for travel, the canvas ripped near the zipper. The other thing I didn't like was the straps that are there to adjust the size of the closure. It serves the purpose, but they come apart too easily. It could be that mine was defective and not all of them will have the canvas tear so easily. And as much as I would like to get another.... I am leery that it will tear again.

Poor Quality Product

I was really excited to use this bag, but the zipper is truly crappy.I asked the company to help with the refund and replacement of the zipper and they were only able to partially help me out with the cost.Pitiful attempt at customer service and a bad product.DO NOT RECOMMEND
Totally disappointing, low quality-arrived damaged and returned without unpacking.

The fabric covering the foam liner was ripped along the entire top seam upon arrival. The material was too thin to even think about sewing. Just touching the area around the damaged area caused it to disintegrate. I didn't even attempt to unpack it. Save yourself the trouble. Looked good in the pictures, it's cheap and unusable in person.
Save your money, too flimsy to last a week of light use!

Save your money! I recently bought this bag for use on vacation. It has plenty of room for my camera and a couple of lenses; but is very cheaply made. Over the course of 7 days of light use in Fiji, the zipper handle fell off, the stitching on the shoulder strap frayed, the padding is also coming out of said shoulder strap, and the plastic that keeps the front buckle from coming loose broke. I would not recommend this bag to anyone; if you're looking for durability. It's really too bad, I liked the look, and feel of this bag. It also had a good amount of room. Too bad!
Cheaply made, poorly designed.

I ended up returning mine. It's too bulky and the inside patting is way too loose and hard to get stuff in and out from. I couldn't see myself using it day in day out. It felt cheap. For a shoulder bag try the Amazon Basics large gadget bag. Well made, good size and lots of compartments, for a very decent price too.
Blech...

Arrived with a seam ripped out and big hole. Zero quality control. It would be a nicely sized bag for a mirrorless camera if well made, but it's not. Frankly, it looks a little cheesy too, but not really far off from the product photos. It will look a lot better when aged a bit. Suggest you look elsewhere. .
so sad

I'm so disappointed. Originally, I gave this product 5 stars. But I've had it now for less than a month and it has already started tearing. And the belt already broke off one day when I was putting it together.
