LowePro classified 180 sling video review:
Finally got the video wrapped up for the classified 180. No pictures because I’ve already returned the bag to B&H. It’s a good bag, but fails on a few key levels that ruin it for me. The strap is terrible. Really, that bad. W/o much weight in the bag it’s uncomfortable. The $80 incase sling…

New Gear: F-stop tilopa!
I got an email from Ian at F-stop the other day. I guess one of my video reviews caught his eye and he wanted my thoughts on one of their bags. He sent me a tilopa with a large camera block while I was away on vacation (too bad it wasn’t here in time to…

Sling bags reviewed: Incase DSLR Sling and Lowepro classified 220.
I’m a bag whore. I admit it. I’m always looking for a better bag solution for my use and I really like the idea of slings. So I’ve been looking for a sling that I think will work for me and I had it narrowed down to two options, the new lowepro classified series (180…

Think Tank UD30 review:
I finally got the refund for my boda bag this week due to a broken zipper which they couldn’t replace. Back when I bought it (almost a year ago now) the think tank UD30 was the other bag I was giving some serious consideration to. Now that I’m starting over I’ve gone with the Think…

New Gear: Think Tank Trim Changer
I finally found what I think will be a great bag for my GF1. The GF1 is quite a bit smaller than a normal DSLR so it floats around in any of my existing bags. I’m looking for something that can hold it while skiing w/o moving around and that I don’t have to adjust…

Tamrac Adventure 4 messenger video review:
Finally decided on a new bag. After MUCH hemming and hawing (is that even how you spell that?) I went with the Tamrac Adventure 4. It’s also called the 5534 and can be found here. It’s looking like a good decision. The only 2 issues I see with it right now are that it’s just a…

bag shopping
I’m daydreaming about new bags again. The issue is my new nikkor zooms are just slightly longer than their canon counterparts I had previously (24-70 nikkor -vs- 24-105 canon and 14-24 nikkor -vs- any of my old UWA zooms). This presents a problem with my Boda as I used to store one of those zooms…

For Sale: Kata 3N1-30
I’m selling the Kata. I just haven’t used it much really. Basically, it’s bigger than I need because I want to carry a 100-400 on my body. To accomodate that, kata went with a thicker bag to also accomodate 1 series bodies or griped smaller bodies. There’s also a ton more room in the top…

New Gear; Tenba Insert/DIY backpack!
Well I’ve been working on another DIY bag project lately. I’ve used nothing but shoulder bags for a long time now, but with the lenses I’ve been carrying around they aren’t ideal all the time. So I’ve been wanting a backpack/sling bag to help distribute the load, but keep my gear within a quick unzip…

Bag: Lowe Pro Top Load Zoom!
I can’t believe I don’t have a post on this yet? Anyway, this is the holster bag I ski with. It’s not perfect, but it’s really good. The strap system sucks, but not bad enough I’ve replaced it yet (which would be pretty easy). It works as needed.

New Gear: boda dry bag!
Sold 4 bags earlier this week so I could try a boda. I’ve been stalking these online for a while now but always felt they were priced a bit high, at least for me. But looking at the design, it’s well done, and finding them for 25% off (instant rebate) I couldn’t resist after my…

Bags 4 Sale
Yeah, I’ve got a lot of bags, and I’ve realized I don’t use a few of them often enough to keep them. I also have 2 bags in this group that are good small travel type bags, but I don’t love them and want to try a boda, so I’m selling 4 bags to clean…

New Gear: Kata 3n1-30
Picked up the kata 3n1 the other day with the other gear. I’ve been looking for a sling forever, but one you could ALSO wear as a backpack. While the kata isn’t perfect (no bag will be until I make my own) it’s damn close. You can wear it as a sling EITHER WAY, a…

New Gear: GoPro5 wide, Sigma 20mm, Kata 3N1-30.
After selling the 70-200 f4 IS this week I turned that money right into some things I’ve been considering for a while now: Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG Kata 3n1-30 sling bag/backpack GoPro 5 wide motorsport kit w/ bike kit The sigma will be interesting to play with. My 24L is my most used lens…
