This is my third video backpack. This is by far the best one¡¡¡ Is fit,confortable and the perfect size to storage an DSRL with mattebox and accesories. The size its big but precise to walk in nature and carry expensive equipments. Also it has profesional zippers and the fabrics are particulary difrent. Its like a NASA product. I recomend it with eyes closed.

I bought a DVX100B camcorder a Letus adapter and a Nikon 50mm lens along with all kinds of audio stuf and pretty much everything but my boom pole and tripod fit in this along with all my tapes, battery chargers, lights etc. It's like a mobile mini studio in a bag. It is VERY solidly constructed semi-rain proof (the pockets are lines with clear plastic and it has a bunch of Velcro panel dividers. If you are photographer or a videographer with a "prosumer" camcorder, this is really a sold bag.

I shoot video with a DSLR rig and I needed a bag that I could fit 90% of my run and gun gear with. This bag answered the call, the CB-25 has pockets just about everywhere for anything you have. I organized the bag to hold one body, an extra lens, shotgun mic, xlr cables, follow focus and juiced link box. You could fit few more things into the bag comfortably. Everything else, memory cards, batteries, small tools and chargers all fit in the side pouches nicely. A nice feature on the front of the bag is a laptop pouch. I don't carry a lappie on my shoots but my tiffen filters and 7" monitor fill the space quite nicely, and stay very well protected with a half inch of foam on both sides. The top zipper pouch even keeps a few sodas cold for a while if your dumb enough to put them there, but remember the bag is NOT designed for this. Lastly the bag has a protective cover that unfolds from the bottom of the bag. It kept sand and all other goodies out of the inner shell while I was shooting on the beach recently.

The only gripe about the bag is the hip supports. I guess they are necessary if you are doing some serious, serious climbing/hiking. Even still, they are a bit much.

Overall, the product, if it is the right price for you, should definitely fit your needs if they are similar to mine. Not to mention the awesome digital camo scheme on the outside. I was very happy with the bag, you will be too.

Buy the bag, protect your stuff, get shooting!

This is a great bag, especially for the price. Lots of room, pockets, and little features that make sense. I need to carry a Canon XL H1A with an additional lens. I can fit everything into the back, but not without disassembling the camera to some degree. I'm able to fit the camera and both lens in the main compartment by removing the lens sun hood and microphone.

Finally, I have been able to get all of my Canon 7D gear into one bag. The fact that my entire camera rig then fits comfortably on my back makes this bag doubly impressive. I recently travelled across the country on a documentary shoot with this bag. Train, bus or plane the bag fit easily in the overhead compartments alleviating the stress that usually comes with travelling with camera gear. Camera body, 3 lenses, 7" monitor, rails system, audio recorder, gorilla pod, grip bits, 17" laptop, reading material for the plane ride and a bunch of other gack all fit with ease. The main compartment is fully customizable to suit many systems shooters are travelling with these days. The bag is very well constructed and great looking to boot. I am incredibly satisfied with this bag and considering it's cheaper cost than a lot of the big companies out there, this bag is a purchase you won't regret.

I used to use the Ogio video backpack which I liked very much but after the zippers wore out I decided to try something new for carrying video gear. I just got my new CB-25 Cinebag pack. This pack has room for a lot of stuff and feels like it is extremely well made for the job. I travel around the globe and having this as my carry on ensures that at least the most critical video gear makes it with me when I fly.

Pros: organized well, padded well, and just big enough to have a lot of room while small enough to carry on.

Cons: the waist strap is over padded, making the bag a bit cumbersome.

Overall great set up.

I use this backpack for my Canon 400 2/8, the camera body, doublers, flash, and other lenses fit easily in this pack. The laptop compartment is very nice. I have told my best friend in Colorado about it, he purchased one also and loves it! Definitely would recommend this backpack.

I have used this pack the last 6 months for various occasions and absolutely love it. For day to day filming I can put whatever I need in this pack and im ready to go, and not worry about "oh do I have (x) with me" In the same note I can pack in down w/ a ton of gear for a weekend trip. Then only take what I need for each shoot and leave the rest at the hotel. I just got back from filming a music video... I had plenty of room for my XH-A1, HV30, sennheiser wireless mics packed in a small pelican case, shotgun mic, tapes, batteries, gaf tape, clamps, and the list goes on. It also has a great pocket that my 12in mac book slid down in. I have a 4ft reflector that folds up and I can clip to the front of the bag. I like that the main compartment accesses from the back of the bag, so when I take it off and lay it down I can get my gear out and put it back on without having laid that part in the dirt. I have no problems getting dirty, but its very nice to keep your shirt clean for clients. details like this are what really make this bag nice. It was interesting to find the insides of the extra compartments are lined in a foil like material, kind of like a soft cooler.... very durable but keeps my gear cool inside the pack. The main compartment is very well padded and lined in soft black material. Like the other reviewer noted, the zippers are very loud. The material the exterior of the bag is made of is also noisy if scrapped across branches....I personally like the material it is made of simply because its like a piece of mind knowing its made tuff. Also as a personal note, I love the digi. I take it filming hunting AND people tend to have second thoughts about picking up a military bag.

Oh, and I have not had any problems with seems coming loose. Stitching has all stayed in place. It is very well padded, not only for my gear but for my back, shoulders, and waist as well. Working at other studios I've used Lowepro's backpacks regularly and they are awesome. I thought long and hard about this Cinebag and LOVE that I bought it vs the Lowepro. The money I saved w/ this bag vs other comparable packs let me buy a few other toys for the gear bag.

Well-designed pack. I am a cameraman for a hunting video production company. It fit all my necessary field gear well: Canon XH-A1, Azden shotgun mic, Azden wireless mic set, batteries, tapes, light, cleaning supplies, food and rain gear. My macbook pro 17" with Rhino-skin aluminum protective shell fit well in the laptop pocket for traveling. For hiking on the job, this pocket fit a hydration bladder and energy food. My Manfrotto tripod with Manfrotto HD501 head fit snugly in the external pocket. I used this pack, loaded as such, for a six-day shoot in the Arizona mountains and it performed very well. It is comfortable and distributes the weight well.

A concern I have is one of the shoulder strap stitching is coming undone slightly after only this six-day trip. I intend to contact the manufacturer for a possible exchange, as this is probably a problem unique to this particular pack.

Dislikes: The zippers are very noisy. I had to tape all of them with electrical tape before using the pack for hunting video applications. Also, the zippers are noisy unless worked very carefully. The material is a bit noisy when branches rub against it.
