Ok so i got a carbon fiber tripod - ballhead and M-Y World bag...
have used the tripod and it is nice so far.. nice and light.. the ballhead is so so but i got it for a great price....

im looking at the bag.. is there any real use for it?
it looks like it holds the tripod, camera and few lenses.. but there doesnt seem like any padding.. would you use this bag or ditch it? no matter what you get and buy more accessories like filters or remote triggers?

it looks like this one...

I have the same tripod, but the ballhead is slightly different and it integrated on mine. I saw that bag at a local camera store and thought it was oddly designed, my concern was the padding (or lack of) and it did not seem well thought out, it would not work for me.

well we are going away... and i love my Lowepro Flipside 300 bag.. buuuuut i usually have to take a secondary bag for work.. so work laptop, blackberry, chargers, etc.... my new job i dont have all of that.. (i have the laptop but not expected to work after hrs)...

so i just decided to throw this bag together... tell u what.. it is BAD @SS!!!!!!
im really digging it.. i suck at doing reviews but when i get back i will do one...

i have everything that is in my gearbag listed in my sig in the bag!!! in addition to a 17" laptop and power cord and power brick...

now it does need some padding.. so i will look at adding it later.. and try and review that part too..
im super happy with it and going to definitely keep it.. i was going to ebay it but hell no now...

im diggin it too much... more for like when i need to go to vegas.. ill take it there too...

my tripod, ballhead, and everything is non exposed as they are with my Lowepro Flipside 300

Padded camera bags are overrated.

I used a regular Swiss Army brand laptop backpack for a quick trip, I just put the lenses in thier own paded neoprene sleeves and that worked fine, but they ended up piled up at the bottom so it was hard to get to what I wanted. The bag itself was very well made and had lots of pockets and it was very inexpensive compared to a specific camera bag. I'm currenty looking at the Tamrac Evolution 8, thnking it will work for day trips and when I hike as I need room for other things besides camera stuff.

I'm very much serious. My preferred (and virtually only) camera bags are Domke bags. They have either a rigid board or about 3/8" closed cell foam at the bottom. Other than that, the walls are canvas and the inserts are either 1/4" stiffener plastic foam or even thinner polyester fiber fill. Been using them since the early '80s with no damage to my gear. You'll find that with the average camera bag the stuff you put in your outside pockets (cards, batteries, lens cleaners, notebook, pen, etc.) keep minor impacts from your gear and nothing less than a full Pelican case is really going to protect it from major impacts unless you have 3-4x as much padding as gear.
