Customer Review: It is what it is.
This bag combo worked out great for me, I needed a lightweight portable tripod and I wanted a new bag so this was a great combo! The bag. Looks to be good quality build, and as for padding this thing has loads of padding and holds everything securely, some of the padding can be a bit annoying because it feels almost too tight but you can be sure that if you put something in, it will be exactly where you put it next time you open the bag. The tag on the bag says it holds 5 lenses, but I had no problem managing to get 5 into the lens compartment, plus one on the camera into the case, I then was able to get my teleconverter, hoods, and extra caps into a spot in the lens compartment that would have easily fit another lens so I believe you could get a total of 7 lenses into this thing with ease. As for the rest of my gear it was a game of stuff this here and put this there, but this bag is new to me and I'm sure I will come up with a better way to pack the bag. I got all my gear in there close to the way I want it, I can get it in there the way I want it. As for total space in this bag, I managed to stuff in 6 lenses (one on the camera) A teleconverter, two hoods, a camera, 8 filters, a large flash, 3 spare camera batteries, about 6 extra CF cards, and the cleaning kit that came with the bag all fit and there is still room for more. The Tripod This tripod will hold your camera steady in one place and pointed at your subject, it has a little hook on it so you can tie the tripod down so that you can get that piece of mind that gravity alone won't give you in high winds. I would not put a VHS camcorder on this tripod, in fact I probably wouldn't want to try and shoot video of any kind from it. Think of it as a tripod to hold your camera still. It isn't a rock, it is aluminum, it won't hold you up, it isn't a cane. I have used far better tripods than this one, but this one will get the job done and is small and light enough to take just about anyplace. The Cleaning Kit Yeah, it came with a cleaning kit, but I haven't really used the kit yet so I have no idea how good that is. The kit bag and the blower bulb look nice though.
Customer Review: Not good for serious hiking and photography
As a whole quite a decent deal given the price and the things you get! I have used it in my recent hiking trip to Alaska. I have to say that although the bag might be good for short day hiking trips, it might not serve the purpose for longer hikes because the space inside is too tight to fit anything other than the laptop, camera, lenses and camera accessories. Also after putting in the laptop (mine is a Toshiba Satellite) it becomes a bit tight to fit in the camera I used (Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D) with the lens (Tamron 18-250 Di-II). All these made me quite anxious about whether there will be any damage to the external switches of the camera. Also I was concerned what it might mean for the laptop screen. So far didn't see any damage. I would say the bag is good for air travel, that is when you need to pack the laptop as well as the camera, but beyond that it actually depends on what are your priorities.
