Review #2

1 - 300mm f/2.8L (with Canon Extender EF 1.4x attached just in case I need it)
2 - Canon EOS 1D mk II
3 - CP-E2
4 - Short zoom, in this case a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM
5 - Canon EOS 1D
6 - Canon 580EX Speedlite
7 - 2 x NP-E3 batteries and memory cards in wallet
8 - Monopod, in this case a Manfrotto 479-4B
9 - Laptop goes in here vertically
10 - 400mm f/2.8L IS
11 - Raincover, gloves, lens cloth, waterproofs under lens
12 - Spare AA batteries, lightmeter, pens, notebook, other widgets etc. in front pockets
Also...
13 - Lowepro accessory pouches (60AW) for 650AW

If I need to carry the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM as well, I can add an accessory pouch to each end of the 650AW and use them to carry the camera bodies. Alternatively I may reconfigure the 1510 to allow the 70-200 to be connected to one of the bodies.

So why does this work for me?

Well...

• I can happily sit on the 1510 so I don't need to carry a stool
• Everything is easily accessible - nothing is hidden under another item...
• ...so it's quick and easy to get kit in and out, minimising delay
• When I'm sitting on the 1510, I'll transfer the other body with lens attached into the 650AW for easy access to a second camera. This might be the 1D + 300mm (or 70-200mm) for example. If the weather is good, I'll sit the body and lens on top of the 650AW on my right hand side ready to pick up when required.
• It's not too much of a pain to get from car to ground. The 650AW goes over my shoulder and I carry (or roll) the 1510... so there are only two things to worry about.

Review #5

(Added 11th January 2011)
The case contains:

Canon 1D Mark IV + Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM
Canon EOS 5D MK II + Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Canon EF 100mm F/2.8 USM IS Macro Lens
Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
several accessories, CF, readers, batteries, etc.

 I love hard cases, especially to keep my valuable equipment safe and well protected when al home or traveling by car.
In fact the bag is a bit heavy and can store a huge of tools, adding weight...but it has wheels and handles, so you do not need to carry all the weight on your shoulder or back. The best interior in my opinion is this one, padded deviders: light but full protective, and non small parts floating in the case. I also love the colour, sand, outside and inside: it is easy to find small pieces inside and the look is less "serious" than a fully black case.
It is water and dust tight and a compensation valve is built-in. Very happy.





Likes about the bag:
durable, high protective

Dislikes about the bag:
weight

Solid, Reliable, easy to move, and working a two body system, can be left in the car when out shooting.
A rework of layout for sports only days means it holds Nikon AFSII 300/2.8, and doubles as a pitch side seat !!

Likes about the bag:
Solid, Secure

Dislikes about the bag:
wheels not the best while "off-road"
