5 Stars Fantastic package deal
Great deal! Pack is fully functional with lots of room for extra goodies. When I’m out on vacation, I even pack the digital video camera in it, as well as two extra lenses, camera, extra batteries, cords, chargers, manuals and accessories include in the package.

The lens cap holder has come in handy TONS of times. Inspired me to get one for all of my lenses. Cleaning “wand” is more gimmicky than anything but functional none the less. Love the filters as an added perk.

The tripod is more for beginner mode and isn’t very stable but it came with it, so no complaints. I prefer a gorilla stand personally, but it’s OK if you use it on level surfaces. Otherwise you risk tipping over. And the extra screen covers was genius addition. I’ve ever scratched my screen but I really never even thought about it until I put one on the camera. Glad I did it! Glad they were included!

Pack is compact, light weight, seems durable and well built for the most part. Handles most environments, from snow of the Rockies to the salt water spray of the Pacific (Certainly NOT waterproof though).

Lots of room on the outside for add-ons but not so good for traveling when things are on the outside. Needs a true place for a tripod/mono-pod holder though. That’s the only thing lacking.

Overall a terrific buy. Highly recommend it!

4 Stars works great
I use this bag to hold my rebel xti and everything else i have( not a lot but growing ) I is handy when I am on the bike, I did how ever have to use a clip to hold the zippers shut the wind started to open them..

5 Stars good deal
bag is awesome for the price I paid. xtras not really necessary except for the filters but handy sometimes. Tripod only works with light cameras. Overall … very nice bag

4 Stars Backpack is GREAT don’t waste money on the extras!!!
The back pack is great…obviously it is a canon back pack and it is exactly what I thought it was. Maybe I didn’t do enough research before deciding to buy the extras but they really aren’t worth it. I am nervous about using the filters on my canon rebel because it is like putting a two dollar product on a thousand dollar lens…seem like a waste. The cleaning kit you can buy at walgreens for two dollars and the tripod is only for point and shoots…this backpack is obviously meant for a DSLR body Not a point and shoot…so I am not sure what the purpose of including this tripod, in a kit for this bag, is. So bottom line…buy the bag it is awesome…save the twenty extra dollars and skip the extras kit…it is a waste

5 Stars Canon backpack
This camera bag is a very complete item. It is loaded with supplies. The backpack itself is well constructed and has several velcro adjustable padded dividers to hold almost anything you can imagine.

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.
