    I purchased this bag to carry my HMC150, which is a larger camera. Do not judge the size by the picture, the bag is a lot bigger than it looks. I was very suprised when I opened the box. The build quality of the bag is top-notch and there are several pockets, pouches, and dividers included. The bag is thick and well padded. I carry my HMC150, three large batteries, cables, charger, SDHC cards, acrylic slate, LCD monitor, manuals, etc. all in the bag and there is room left. The Kata bag is the way to go.

    So I expected a bag that could hold lots of stuff and be easy to organize, with a bright reflective yellow interior. It was a nice bag, very well sewn, but the deal breaker for me was the small coil of the (water-resistant) zipper. The zipper was too tight and too slow to open and close for my tastes. I want a bag that I am going to open and close a thousand times a year, and this bag kept binding up as I was zippering around the top corners. Next time I'll look and try out the bag in the store before ordering online.

        Bag is huge, easily fits my new Canon XA-10 and all accessories. Silly price, bag seems to be worth much more than what they are selling it for. Zippers can be a little stiff initially, but work better after a little usage. Definitely a well built video camera bag.

        I use this bag to store my Sony HXR-NX70U. I ordered it because of the price, but when I got it, I was surprised of the quality and size of this bag. It was called "Extra Small" but it is extra large in my book. It held everything and then some. Great Bag!

            I am an assistant cameraman in NY and I use this bag to carry my support gear on set. Things like filters, the slate, backup batteries, and a ton of other small things that get asked for in a moments notice. I like the high profile because if I need some extra things I can stack them and still not take up too much space. The zippers are solid and I can adjust the compares to my liking. I recommend this bag to anyone who is constantly running at work and having to change up their support needs.

              Been looking for a bag for my Canon XH A1for awhile now and this is perfect.I have myCanon WD-H72 with hood and it fits,just a littlesnug against the hood but it doesn`t have to come off cam is ready to go.The sides feel like armor. Thanks to BH,can`t beat the price on [...] cost twice as much.Local camera shops want about [$] for something like this,which I priced.The zipper is a bit stiff assome say,but with time may loosen up.What I likethe most is that it`s a top loader not a side one.To me a side load could roll out if not securedfirst.Plus all attachments on ready to go.There maybe times your in a hurry and if you didn`t zip or secure a side flap or zip it outcomes $$$$$$ onto the floor.Even if you didn`t zip the top of the OMB-72 your cam won`t come out.It sits deep in the bag and handles are attached to the sides not the topGet it while they have them,[...]Check around you will NOT find a better price!!!!Amazing how they can sell them so cheap.B&H ROCKS!!!!

                          It is the perfect bag to pack two QR heads, two batteries, necessary cables, charger, adapter and still have room left over to slide in a Tri-Grip. I did not get this bag through one of the free give-aways. Wish I had.

                            Great for safely storing and transporting my digital camera w/long lens attached. Less fear of damaging equipment and easy to place in and take out of the bag.
