yea, that pic is a horrible representation of the size given in the spec.. unless those are minature lenses, camera, and flash.

still a good deal for other items, esp with 3 year warranty!

I feel like they are purposely trying to mislead you on the size of the case. I guess it pays to read the fine print.

There are some decent deals on that site, I am more of a woot.com and steepandcheap.com person myself, but maybe I will give this site a try sometime.

What the hell?!?!?

"Inside Dimensions 12 3/8" L X 9 5/8" W X 4 1/2" D "

does not translate to:


Hell, I could barely get my camera body in that thing, much less what appears to be depicted as:

-Nikon Body
-70-200 Lens
-Battery Grip
-35mm prime
-Flash

Hah, i ordered a laptop carrying case from those bastards a couple of weeks ago and have yet to hear anything regarding a shipment.
After some research, I've found out that they don't ship for like a month.
Mofos.

If that lower lens is 8 inches long and that mini tripod 3 inches then that would fit inside of a 12+ inch case about the way that it shows.

But really we all know that was never a $100 case as they describe but for $10 what do you want? BTW this could be a good case to hold several smaller primes securely.

You can at least carry your pocket wizards in it. That's for sure. Seems like overkill though.
