A replacement for my reporter bag

[adirty1]

I believe I have found a replacement for my reporter bag. Looks great to travel with and you can use it for other applications than just a photo bag... I am going to have to check this out at the local shop.

I like it, except for their awful music/lyrics at the beginning and end of the video.

No speakers here so it did not bother me at all.
seems like a pretty cool bag.

bought one myself, mostly because I needed a laptop case, something other than my pelican for the camera, and a bag for school. no need to scare the other student showing up with my assault pack (only bag I've needed for the last five years!)

I got a gift certiciate for Arlington Camera and picked up one of these to take on a trip to Europe. The slingshots and backpacks just didn't feel right, and with this bag the camera is only a short reach away. So far it is very comfortable and flexible as I walk the neighbohood getting in shape for the trip.

Cool bag, but man. What's with that music?

I had an old Tenba bag that was really nice (I could load a 400 mm lens and three or five camera bodies with lenses on them). Stupidly got rid of it. Was a little heavy loaded, but the model you're looking at looks awesome. Love that it fits a 17-inch laptop; my Lowepro Stealth Reporter is the one that only fits a 15-inch.

I just got my IRS check in so I think I am going to have to pick one up. I was looking at the crumpler or whatever it's called and just was not that impressed. this one seems better designed. should work out great for a travel bag and on the street. normally I dont need to take every thing I own to a shoot. when that's the case I have to break out the old hard case.

Tenba full of gear. There's a list of what's inside down below, to illustrate that I probably could take EVERYTHING with me if I so desired. Of course, were I to need everything, I'd likely bring the Pelican my gear usually lives in instead, an have an on-location bench for me to sit on should such be required. Want to carry, in a small Tenba Messenger, enough to do some fun on-location work? Too easy.

that's the small bag?
I was looking at the large bag.
Seems like I will have enough room to fit all I would need for a PR shoot in there with room to spare.
thanks Anthony.

[Anthony Martinez]

yup, that's the small one.
