One of my best buys do far!!!
As is mention in other reviews and on the product description, this photo bag has the capacity to hold a lot of your photo gear, laptop plus accessories, and much more.
I have recently also added my tripod to the gear and I am still very comfortable with the bag.
The material is sturdy and durable, the design is easy to use and re-arrange the interior of the bag for your gear.
Highly advisable for someone starting their photography

The brazilian dollar home is altogether a great bag.
Pro: It is big enough to carry lots of photography equipment including a laptop. It is a considerably light bag, compared to other similar sized bags. When one carries so much equipment the weight of the bag makes a difference. It seem strong and made from durable material. pockets can be suited to fit your needs-a GREAT feature+ many built in pockets makes the bag very comfortable.
Cons: The fold down flap is the only protection for the equipment and its not zipped. It was better if a zipped flap would seal the equipment against wind and dust particles for example. No quick access to equipment-you have to open the main flap and if you have a tripod attached below the bag, it would not be very convenient. Price is high.
Altogether, I highly recommend this bag. This definitely a quality product.

I ordered this bag, because i needed a large, shoulder strewn bag, non backpack in other words, and this was recommended by all the guys i shoot with. Upon receipt of the bag i was thoroughly impressed by the amount of options the dividers allowed. I did however wish there were two more large separators such as the one in the middle, instead there were shorter ones. I constantly carry 6-8 lenses with me, and a 40d body, and a flash. I am still trying to get everything to fit in perfectly, and its proving to be a bit of a hassle. If i had a few less lenses, it would be better, but with my load its not that great considering i have lens hoods for 3 of them (70-200L and 100macro, 10-22) and they are not small at all.
overall though i really like the bag, tons of room, just have to figure out how to store it all appropriately.

I borrowed one from a friend. I got excited, put in my 17" latitude, and brought all the camera gears that can fit. After a few hours of lugging, my shoulder ached... felt tender for one week.
If you plan to take so much gear (telephoto+laptop+dslr with battery pack), better consider the backpack option. I tell you, it's awkward when you walk skewed just to favor the weight; and the bulk at your side is not ideal any more.
Crumpler shouldnt have made this model.
(It rained while Im carrying it though, and the extra cover is effective!)

I've been using this bag for about 6 weeks now, both walking around the city and taking it on a photo trip. I bought it as it seemed to be the only bag that met carry-on restrictions, would fit most of my equipment, and make it easy to access 2 cameras with different lenses on them instead of swapping lenses all of the time.
The only problem with that is the bag is incredibly small on the inside when compared to what it looks like from the outside. There are several areas where the designers got it almost right, but no cigar.
The main camera compartment will not take my 2 bodies with lenses attached. For one thing the viewfinders stick either into the laptop compartment or out towards the outside of the bag, which in turn does not let the top of the camera compartment close properly, which means the main outside flap does not close well. You can even see in the product pictures that one of the cameras has its viewfinder bulging out. This area measures 13"W X 5"D X 11"H, about 715 sq. in. I took off for the rounded corners which only make the curved space unusable. In comparison, my Lowepro Slingshot 200 has 624 sq. in. in its main compartment, and its all accessible, as well as the bag being $200 cheaper. My Pacsafe duffel with the photographic insert, which I would not carry around but it's good for transport, is less imposing than the Crumpler, but has a whopping 1760 sq.in. of space, all of it usable as it loads from the top.
If you `stack' your equipment as they suggest, you'll find yourself taking everything out of the bag, and removing all of the dividers to get at the bottom. Then of course you need to put everything back, and the dividers are a pain as they stick like glue to anything. I bought a new lens and that with the body attached is 13" long, the bag is 11" deep, doesn't fit. Speaking of dividers, they are a puzzle to figure out, I never have. The bag comes with a complete extra set, I assume for a second camera. This would all be easier if Crumpler supplied some diagrams for different configurations.
So, what I do is put the tripod (Gitzo traveler fits without the head on) on the bottom of the inside, put a layer of dividers in, then put the camera in across instead of vertically. I can at least carry my tripod and camera with long lens somewhat stealthily but nothing else will fit in the bag. Not even a tiny lens.
Putting anything in the top area (shown with the mesh) causes the flap to not fit square, and the handle will no longer be at the top but at an angle. Nothing will fit in the back pocket, I had to force an Elastolite reflector in there with the rain cover. The tripod holder is on the bottom, which might be OK for a backpack, but whenever you set this thing down it falls over. I tried putting my tripod on the front, but then when you open the case it falls to the grund if you're not careful. Supposedly it holds 18 CF cards, I could get only 4 in, the pockets are too small for any more unless you take them out of their cases, no thanks. The bright safety orange interior is great - except that when you close the bag, the side flaps stick out, acting like a beacon to potential thieves that something good is inside.
I don't know how they made that video, although I save seen a magician pull rabbits out of his hat. I do know that their pictures are all of an open bag, as it would be miracle if you could close it, and if you did it would look bloated like a pig.
The quality is great, hence the 2 stars, but I'm really disappointed that I had to carry an extra camera bag on the plane because my equipment wouldn't fit in this bag, not even close. I'm even more disappointed that I can't walk around with 2 cameras ready to go like it shows in all of the pictures.
i should have returned it when I had a chance, but I was on a deadline and frankly tired of shopping for a bag. Do yourself a favor and go to a store and look at this bag, take your equipment along and see if it fits before you buy it.
