anyone bought these? Looks like its high quality. The material looks a lot like the inside of a crumpler bag. I was all set on getting the Tenba insert from B&H until I found these.

not a bad price, but for the size, i'd feel limited.

Good fit for Timbuktu Laptop Messenger bag.

yea...i ordered one for the timbuktu classic messenger bag. For the price, it sure beats the Domke insert. I recently ordered this Domke and sent it back to amazon as soon as I got it. The material is made up of cheap thin foam and it doesn't even have padding on the bottom! Looks like something you can find in the dollar store.

It seems to me you have to put the camera vertically instead of horizontally for a larger camera like 7D.

They also sell this one, which is a bit wider.

the wider one looks better since you can place the camera body with the lens facing down

Yeah ideally the RF is what I need but when travelling I'm also bringing my laptop. The Laptop Messenger is too small for both the RF and the laptop :(.

The orange is intended to make it easier to find your lens, accessories, etc since they are typically black in dark environments. It's more function than fashion and you never really see it once it's inside the bag.

I just ordered one of these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R8FSWS/ref=oss_product) for my small timbuk2 messenger. I will update once it comes in and I have tested it out but from the reviews I am optimistic.

I have been using mine fore about a month or two and it fits pretty good.

My 50d grouped with a 10-22mm in a big slot and then the 24-105 on the side. It's a great product to use if you don't want anyone to know your carrying camera gears in your bag. And it's perfect if your not carrying too much gear either.

I'll post a picture later.

I've got one of the Matin inserts - similar design, probably same construction, similar price point - and it's pretty nice for toting gear around in the messenger bag, I use it for my m43 setup. it's solidly built though I've noticed the dividers have a habit if shifting a bit even though the velcro is secure - I think it's because the fabric is kind of loose on the dividers and under load, can stretch. But it also recovers and it's super-light. Handy for DIY-ing existing bags for camera duty.

I bought one of the FOSSOUX RF Partition and received it last week. I'm very pleased with it. I can use it with any of my many backpacks :lol: I'm up to six camera bags and didn't want to buy another backpack.

Other than the crappy pad on the shoulder strap, this is not a bad bag, at all. I bought one thinking it was bigger than the Crumpler 6MDH. It's not... pretty much the same size as the 6MDH. I gave it to my wife and she loves it.

I bought the orange insert and it works perfectly and arrived pretty quick from overseas.

FOSSOUX LC Partition padded bag SLR DSLR camera insert

It is thin, but it was exactly what I wanted. Thin meaning narrow. The pictures on ebay show exactly what you're getting. It is a quality product and the orange is the right color to find your equipment.

I have a 70-200 2.8L with reversed hood, tripod ring and my gripped T1i and 10-22. Even though there are three compartments, it will fit these two big items. That leaves just a little room for accessories.

I have the Tenba insert in a Timbuk2 Small messenger and it is the perfect fit. It is also better protection than the Domke inserts.
