5 Stars great bag
I really like this bag; usually i carry my E-5xx with the 40-150mm mounted, and the 14-42mm, still i have space for a flash, a mini tripod, three filters, the caps of the lens and camera, three extra batteries, sun blocker, and more if i want. I have it with me all the time when i’m shooting outdoors, it doesn’t bother me. Just think three lenses don’t feat in this bag, so don’t expect to carry all your gear here.

4 Stars Good Product
Good product, small but it holds my E-520 with 50mm F2.0 Macro lens attached and two kit lenses, 14-42mm and 40-150mm. the pockets hold lens cap and CF media. Has a good build quality. For the price it is a good buy.

5 Stars Great price
I use this with my Pantex DSLR. It fit all I have.

1. Camera body with 18-55mm lens attached.

2. 50 mm fixed lens.

3. 50-200 mm lens.

4. Len hood.

5. Battery charger.

I also put some sd card and data link in the front pocket.

4 Stars Great bag but, a bit small
I do like this bag but, I feel like I will outgrow fairly quick. It is great if you want to tote around the camera and 2 lenses but, this wont fit much more. It fits memory card, extra battery, a cleaning kit but, that’s about it. If you have an external flash and remotes and other things it wont fit. I even feel 2 lenses it’s a little jammed in there. So, might have to get a larger one later on. It’s great if you are going to travel though and for the price I think it is still useful!

5 Stars Olympus Evolt Camera Bag
The bag was exactly as advertised…. small, but perfect for travel. The compartment holds the camera plus 2 lens, charger, USB cable, etc. There is an adjustable shoulder strap in addition to a hand held strap (carry it like a purse). Quite functional and secure with 2 snap locks. Would definitely recommend.

4 Stars Right features, good value
I wanted a simple sub $50 tripod, not a professional investment. This product has decent build quality, good feature with the removable base plate so you don’t have to spin your camera around to screww it on the mount. stable enough and light enough to put in a pack.

2 Stars You get what you pay for…
I was looking or a tripod that would be solid and work well, with a good price to boot. Based on the above reviews, I figured it would be fine.

I guess I might be a bit more “hardcore” of a photographer than the average user. I’m using a Canon 500D/T1i, that might be a bit heavier than smaller cameras others are using.

On to the good. It comes with a convenient bag with a shoulder strap. It’s light. The feet swivel well. It has a handle right below the head.

On to the bad. It’s much too flimsy for any serious photography. If you’re trying to shoot something very precisely, there is no hope with this tripod. I ended up cranking everything as tight as possible, and I still had to force it against it’s settings to stay exactly where I wanted it. It doesn’t hold the camera up if you have a bigger lens on it, so it slowly droops. One time a mystery screw fell out from the head in the bag. I couldn’t figure out why nothing worked for like 20 minutes, until I found the screw in the bag and figured out how to put it back in.

Not recommended if you’re in any way particular about composition.

5 Stars Pretty good tripod overall!!
The product received was timely and in perfect condition. It is very reliable and light and sturdy. Has all sorts of features one needs for a camcorder and easy video recording. It is fully loaded in short.

Quick release plate in the tilting head, crank elevator with locking ring, sweet leg locks to its self leveling, gimbaled rubber feet. The tripod’s legs brace to the center post and lock. Two spirit levels one on the the head and other at the point where the legs meet. A hook for your camera bag or a weight for extra stability. A built in carrying handle and a carrying case.

5 Stars Good Tripod
I got this tripod for a Nikon D90. It is very compact and fits easily in the bag that came with it so it is easy to carry around. The tripod is very sturdy and definitely does its job. The quick release mount feature is so convenient because I don’t have to take the time to screw in the camera when it’s picture time. Pretty simple to use, I recommend it!!

5 Stars solid and sturdy this really does the job
This tripod is very sturdy and it is light weight. It doesnt come with a manual, but it is VERY obvious how to use the quick release screw to attach to the bottom of the camera. I also saw that a different reviewer didnt know how to lock the legs on place…hmmm All you need to do snap the lock on each leg and you are good to go

I have tried many other tripods and I agree with the other reviewers, this one really does the job.

It comes in a nice nylon bag and there are 2 bubble levelers, a hook to attached your camera bag. The tilt and pan functions are smooth.

it is light weight and folds down to a small space. When it extends it can go extend to be eye level even for a tall person like me

oh there is also a nice carrying handle built into the upright of the tripod so it is supper easy to move around

5 Stars Love it, though some adjustment is required.
I spent days looking for a sling bag before I bought this one. I travel light, but have a Canon 5D, plus a 28-135mm lens and a 70-300mm telephoto lens. I wanted a sling pack to slide my small amount of other personal stuff into while traveling in (potentially shady) areas (and non-shady ones).

Verdict: I love this bag. It is so awesome. The hammock is so cool. But there are some other things to consider:

1. It is going to be very annoying to constantly stop, slide the bag around and take photos. The bag needs some breaking in at the beginning; it is very stiff (and that is a GOOD thing). If buying it for a vacation, take it out for a romp BEFORE your trip to soften it up and get used to the maneuvers required to load and unload your camera. I only say that because it has an usual design.

2. The height of my 5D (from the bottom, set down, to the top near where the flash module would hook into) seems uncomfortable fit-wise into the hammock compartment. I am not sure if an EOS 1- or 5D with one of those battery pack grippers would be able to fit into this compartment. My 5d JUST fits. However, a camera with a full telephoto lens might fit in here without disassembly. There is a lot of space in the hammock for a longer lens than my 28-135mm lens.

3. In order to use this, it is really optimal to remove any other protection: ie, camera armor (which I had) and the strap. To keep the strap on while storing the camera in the bag is to add serious and repetitive frustration to your life when you unload- and load the camera back into the bag. There is just not space for the strap in the compartment.

4. There is limited space for much else if you have a telephoto & default lens. The small side pocket has space for my mini tripod, my folded strap and a few lens caps. The flat pocket over the camera hammock fits something flat, like a manual and some papers or whatever. There are a few other nooks and crannies but don’t expect this to double as a backpack for personal items if you have a lot of stuff. It will fit a camera, a manual, a mini tripod, some other various doo-dads, 2 lenses (one on, one off), and a small variety of whatever else.

Regardless of the above items, I think this is a fantastic bag and is totally worth the money. I hope it lasts long enough to carry my camera to the Southwestern USA, Denmark, Norway, Bermuda and throughout my winter of snowshoeing and winter sports! The padding is awesome and it is very sturdy. When this bag dies, I hope I can buy another one. Perfect for an on-the-go photographer.

4 Stars Perfect for travel
Fits my Canon 5DMarkII with a 28-80 lens attached in the clever hammock compartment. Room for 70-300 lens AND a 420Ex flash in side pouch, and a couple of filters, etc. in the small front pouch. Attaching a Canon monopod to the outside, while slightly awkward, works well enough. Could probably fit a couple more pouches on it somewhere, but at some point you start entering backpack territory, I guess. I really like this sling.
