Well, a few weeks ago I mentioned I had ordered a new camera bag, or more specifically, a new camera backpack, well after complaining that it hadn’t arrived just yesterday, I found it sitting on my doorstep (so to speak) upon arriving home today. I opened it up a little bit after arriving home, and discovered that it is indeed, just as the photos represented it to be.

The Review, as promised;

This thing holds a TON of stuff! I loaded 3 camera bodies, a charger, 4 batteries, and 8 lenses, plus a flash, a tele-converter and a slew of other accessories in there, along with a laptop in the laptop compartment, and a Bogen monopod on the external carrier, adjusted the straps, and put it on my back. unfortunately, while holding a ton of stuff, it also weighs a ton, and it’s clear I need to pare down my gear a bit to be able to carry everything comfortably.

A happy discovery about the bag was that it has a built in rain cover, which is sewn into a little velcro compartment on the bottom of the bag. this fact wasn’t mentioned in any of the listings for this same model bag, so perhaps it’s a fluke, but I’m betting they all have it.

The backpack seems to be well made, and I think it’ll be a lot more protective of my gear than my old bag would.

There was another package that arrived today, but that’s a whole ‘nother story…
