Yea, that looks like another version from Courser:

Could be that one.

Not defending my purchase and i look at all kai's reviews.. he's not awfully serious and ofcourse he will talk bad about anything cheap or products that they don't sell.
Don't know how many times (i think there are 3 reviews) he says that Canon eos 60'D is plastic and feels cheap.

So? Works great for me...
I come from only using Lowepro.. to this bag, and it feels like good quality.

I got eqiupment worth over $2000 in that bag, i trust it.

People usually dismiss things that are cheaper or dont have a special brand on it... why? Is cheap always bad? Nope.
Do i want to shell out 3x the money for a bag that has a brand that says Domke or Think tank that probably are made in the same factory in CHINA... nope.
Should i buy a Samsung tv because everyone has one and says it's the best tv... nope, it's still made in the same factory where my Philips tv is made.

I got a friend who started a clothing line (surfing) in Bali, he contacted the factory and they showed him what other brands where produced there, Billabong, Hot tuna, quicksilver among a few other high quality brands, they also had a few that no one ever heard of.

Nice looking bag. Looks as nice as a domke ,and costs about what a domke should also.

What tripod is it?
I'm using a vanguard.. but it wont fit in that pocket.. is it a mini-pod?

I am looking at either the Benro C1692TB0S Travel Angel 2 series or the Velbon Ultrek ut43d

Ok, here is the "review".....

Thank you so much for the quick review. Makes more sense to me now with the gears in them and some 'hidden' compartments.

Looks like a promising bag.

So true.. i think all the "best" brands are overcharged.
42 pounds/60 dollars isent cheap if you ask me. 15 dollars is..

Yea, so far it is.
I will probably come back here in a few months.. when i put it through some real tests and update you guys if it's still up for the task.

PP two of the images in Camerabag..
Just for fun, gotta admit.. it looks a bit sexey eeh?

Been out all day with it in rugged weather, easy access to most of the stuff, been carrying it around alot and i do believe there should be some sort of padding on the sling, just to ease up the shoulders.. not a big thing, but when carrying a few kilo's it tend to show after a few hours.

I suspect the Domke Post Office would be a perfect match for your bag.

I'm not following.. ?

He's right. The Domke Post Office Pad is a shoulder pad designed to attach to virtually any shoulder strap of 2" or narrower. It's tapered to reduce slipping and will make a real difference on almost any bag. Mind you, nothing's going to make a 40 lb. bag of gear light, but the Post Office Pad will certainly make it feel more comfortable.
