A forum and google search brings up very little on this bag. I have looked at a larger model at a local store and it seems to be very well made. The video sure makes it look nice as well.
Does anyone have any experience with it? Any opinions?
I've got one. Quality wise, it seems fine and it has some nice features. But:
1) It has a nice belt to take the weight, but because the pack is relatively short, the arm straps have to be let way out to get the bag far enough down so that the padded west belt is at my waist. If I put the shoulder straps where they're the most comfortable, the waist belt goes about where my diaphram is. I'm 6' tall.
2) Supposedly this case will take two cameras. But the depth of the case is less at the top of the pack than at the bottom. My D1x is a good fit at the bottom of the case, but not so much at the top. Anything taller than a D1x would be a problem in this case.
3) It's fine as a daypack as long as you don't gravitate to long lenses. An 80-200 Nikon AF lens fits ok along one side (two cameras with lenses in the center) with a short lens at one end. A 300 NIkon f4 AF lens fills up one side pretty much completely. If one of the cameras has a long lens on it, you might find that the second body can't have a lens on it at all.
4) It's also tapered side to side toward the top as well as front to back. So that limits the size of lenses as well.
I'm not unhappy with the pack as a day pack where I'm using smaller lenses or smaller cameras (like an F4s or an F3 without a motor drive. Bigger Pro cameras only work marginally if you're going to carry two bodies and bigger lenses are a challenge as well.
I found the medium to be a bit 'short' on my 5'11" frame. And then the large was much heavier than the medium. In the end, I decided against any of the Shootouts (too bad really).
Even though i still couldn't find much info on it, i decided to give it a try. I'll have to post a review after some use. My initial impressions are that it is made well and looks good. I definitely couldn't go any smaller though.
