 What CAN'T I fit in this bag? March 16, 2010
B. Caruso (SW Florida, USA)
First of all, I am not a professional video/film/photo artist (I'm a metals artist, actually), but I do all of my own product photography and I have a bunch of consumer and "pro-sumer" equipment because I like gadgets, and I do have a background in film production and I like shooting...I also have trouble parting with equipment...
This bag is huge and heavy, even without equipment. As a person with spine damage and arthritis, I would have a hard time lugging this bag anywhere. I do wish it had wheels on one end, to make this easier. Especially considering how gigantic the bag is, and how much equipment it can hold, wheels would have been lovely. Of course, if need be I can strap this to a folding luggage cart and call it a day. Or have someone else carry it...
I love the versatility of this bag- the dividers are easily customizable to accommodate almost any equipment, or combination of equipment.
I do think, as someone who travels with a DSLR, a couple of lenses, a tripod, and a laptop that this bag for those few, smallish pieces would be overkill.
BUT this bag would still have room for a change of clothes, and other necessities. So for me, this would be a perfect weekend travel bag, as it's one piece to keep track of, has excellent protection, and a few extras that make it a winner.
There is a pouch included for cables/wires/memory cards, which is pretty handy. There is also a poncho built in to cover the bag in case of rain, to protect the equipment inside. I do have another Lowepro bag (an over the shoulder sling) with this feature and I have used it a few times during sudden downpours and it is an equipment saver.
I also like that this bag is fairly generic looking (don't get me wrong- it looks nice, but it looks like a regular big ballistic nylon duffel), so I wouldn't be as paranoid about having someone snatch this as I would with one of my more traditional metal cases that scream "AV equipment up for grabs!"....
As I am not using this as a pro, I will use this as a weekend bag, and also as our emergency bag- we live in hurricane land, and on occasion we have had to evacuate. I think that I could easily and safely transport multiple hard drives, a laptop, a mac mini, my camera equipment, and our essential paperwork/files, my kindle, our non-digital photo album, and my old mini-DV tapes (a couple of dozen of them) without overcrowding.
My only con, for this bag, is the weight (necessary, I think, considering the construction and equipment protection factor- some rigidity is necessary too)...
But other than that I absolutely adore it and hope to travel more so I can see how much more I can fit!
Really sturdy and useful February 25, 2010
Melissa L. Thornley (Bellevue, WA USA)
Got this bag hoping my husband would like it for his video cameras. It fits the camera, and accessories, and then some. Excellent padding system, nothing gets knocked around. And it's still lightweight to carry!
 I traded in my Pelican Hard Case for this January 10, 2010
Boomzilla (Seattle, WA USA)
I was so impressed with this bag that I traded my Pelican hard sided case for it. Not saying that the Pelican didn't do a great job -- it did. But it's heavy. The Magnum is light, tough and really well constructed. It's been thrown around over the past few months with no impact to its content. Want something that will protect your camera investment and is light and comfortable enough to be thrown over you shoulder? This is it.
High End Bag December 17, 2009

This is definitely a high end camera bag. Great quality construction, all sorts of features. Most of my various bags do not have this kind of high end quality (but they are also alot cheaper).
This bag is big. I don't have that much camera equipment so ultimately this bag is too big for my needs...but if I get the photography bug I am ready. If you do have tons of camera equipment and are looking for a high quality bag then this will fit your needs nicely.
Very solid construction, nicely padded in all the right places to protect your expensive equipment. December 17, 2009

This bag is solidly constructed and will do a good job of protecting your expensive video camera. When you open the bag you will marvel at how easy it is to quickly access your camera through the dual zipper lid, which can be pretty important for a quick set up.
There is a weather cover that comes with the bag to make it water proof and you can put it in the side-pocket when not in use. The material of the bag also offers good protection from the elements. The rounded shape also makes sure there is less damage to the equipment. The molded base helps protect the bag itself from the metal on the pro cameras which can wear out the lining quickly. The strap is nicely constructed with good padding to distribute the weight evenly, as the bag with the equipment can get very heavy. There are some padded foam inserts in the bag that you can move around to conform to the shape of your video cam.
The notebook compartment inside the bag is handy and you don't need to carry it separately. There is enough room for some other accessories.
The bag has not been used extensively yet. However, it looks very durable I am expecting it to hold up well over time, the real test for any video equipment bag in this price range.
