Nice bag for Photographers: Crumpler 7MDH clone for $30 shipped

[Kaido]

Mine just showed up. Excellent quality, wish I had ordered more haha. The brown matches my Ogio backpack really well too, and the inside is a cool shade of green, which makes it fun. Much bigger inside than I realized - I'm not going to use this as my camera bag, it's my new camcorder bag!! I can fit *everything* in here - camcorder, shotgun mic, batteries, tapes, Gorillapod, plus all my other little knick-knacks!

Thanks again OP!

Ugh, I just moved and haven't had the address confirmed via PayPal. No bag for me.

 

[CowboyFarmer]

Alright, just received an email from Canadapost.ca with shipment tracking information. If you didn't receive anything since you ordered, you should call them. They have a 1-800 number on the top of their web site.

Which bag should I get? I have 2 lens, body,charger and flash.

Hmmm. Mine took about a week, I would give it a couple more days. Did you get the email from Canada Post? I got one when the bag was shipped and another after it was delivered. They must have some sharing arrangement with the USPS Delivery Confirmation system, so if it's lost then you will have some way to track it down.

Oh, and since it's coming from out-of-country then it will require a signature.

I don't have my bag yet and I haven't recieved any emails either. I did use the standard 10$ shipping, which does say 10-15 days.

Hmmm. Looking back at my emails, I placed the order on 9/21 and received an invoice / order confirmation from SIG. On 9/22 I received a shipment notification with tracking number from Canada Post. The package arrived on 9/28 and I received a delivery notification email from Canada Post later that evening. It is strange to me that you did not receive the emails yet. Did you get the order confirmation from SIG?

I recieved an order invoice the day after I ordered, and on their webpage it says:

"Status Billed", but there's something in the shipping field that says SHIP DATE 10/2/2009 Actual 9/30/2009.

I will drop them a line to see what is going on.

Got a reply from SIG, they shipped my bags via purolator (never heard of them), but they gave me a tracking number and it shows up... Box is still in Indiana though.

I'd get the large Versa, that's what I have. That will fit all of that just fine.

I took the bag out with me to Waterfire in Rhode Island last night. Did just fine. Very sturdy, and handled being put down on wet surfaces just fine. I really liked having (1) the large size, and (2) the ultra-padded dividers because I could toss things in & out without having to worry about it. I took my D90 with an 18-55 lens, an SLR-Zoom Gorillapod, and a Red Pod. More than enough room for everything. Thanks again OP!

Got 2 - brown and black. It's a great bag, especially for the price.
Thanks OP!

 

[bigi]

will it fit... 2x eos-1d bodies 2x speedlites 2x 70-200 zooms 1x 24x70 and various other things?

Yes, it will. This would be too tight for this bag.
I have 1D + large 50mm Sigma, Metz 54 flash and Sigma 180 macro. There is still room for more, but 2x more would be too tight and bulky.

 

[Defiant10k]

I got my bag and loaded it up with my Canon Rebel, two lenses, my Canon Vixia HF10 and all the cords and accessories.

Even ordered the girlfriend one.

 

[finbarqs]

it's been 11 days, and still nothing... almost 2 business weeks... Left them a couple of voicemails because I still got nothing!

 

[helpme]

Got mine today. The material and colors are slightly different than the one my girlfriend has, but for the most part they look the same.

The paper merchandise tag has a slice cut out by somebody, I guess there's some info there that they don't want you to see.

 

[finbarqs]

helpme: when did you order yours? How did it arrive? (USPS?)

 

[ElFenix]

not here as of yesterday

 

[California Roll]

Ordered 2 (brown and black) on 9/30. Shipped on 10/5. Received on 10/12 via UPS.

Came out to US$47.81 for both bags, which is an outstanding bargain. I really should have bought more.

 

[finbarqs]

got mines today... I guess i just have to configure it to how i want it to be configured... It looks smaller than the picture... Looks like enough room for 1 camera with lens, and 2 other lenses... not enough room for other stuff... But they did give me a ton of dividers, which i'm not really good at "dividing".

Also, the brown looks closer to a "green" color... Like a really brownish green color.

 

[ElFenix]

bag came yesterday
feels well built, and will certainly be easier to use than the lowepro i'm using now (a backpack with an annoying habit of flopping over in the middle when open)

 

[thepieces]

Can anyone post some pics of how the black one looks inside?

I'd like pics of how all of them look on the inside; can't decide which color I'd prefer

 

[finbarqs]

yeah, the "brown bag" comes with a neon/lime green inserts...

 

[SignalSoldier]

ordered 2

thanks for the follow on input team!

 

[finbarqs]

to help everyone out here (since SIG does NOT show the colors internally)

the "Brown" bag (which looks green to me) has neon green inserts on the inside

the Black bag has beige inserts

the Red bag, has red inserts. just fyi!

No, the red bag has a light blue interior. The Crumpler refers to this color combo as "red / dk red / lt blue".

The black bag has what I'd call "tan" as the interior, but I'm not going to argue if you call it beige. There are dark grey parts on the sides, Crumpler calls it "black / gunmetal / oatmeal".

The "brown" bag (Crumpler's colors: dk brown, oatmeal, lt olive) has a light green interior. I wouldn't call it "neon". It's a bit more subtle than that. Crumpler does have a neon green color for the inside of its MDH bags, check out this photo:

The one in the brown bag is not nearly as bright. I would maybe call it lime green.

 

[iwearnosox]

Ridiculous price for one of these. In for two, I'll decide what color I want and sell the other one for $50. Thanks op.
