The Camera Daddy, what a name.
I ordered this blind in hopes to fit the Sony F3 and Zacuto Base-plate without having to remove the Base-plate. I am however disappointed. The F3 cannot fit, unless I put the camera on its side. I know people own all sorts of cameras, but I am not impressed with the padding, or even the cut. The dividers seem to be to big for it's own bag, causing them to bend and not create a symmetric look. On the flip side, the bag is strong, attractive and I can see it making a good travel companion.

I am using this bag to house my Panasonic HMC150 and accessories. Now instead of carrying all my accessories in a separate bag I can have all my cards, batteries, cables, mics, etc all in one place.

There are numerous amount of compartments to place things, in fact I'm trying to figure out how to fill all the compartments.

One thing I wish it did have were more sizes for the dividers, or at least a way to change the size so that I can have everything I want to fit perfectly without it sliding around.

I bought a Cinebags CB-30 from B&H last summer, mostly to carry my Sony EX1-R Camcorder and its accessories. I know that production are sometime hard on equipment, and this is the reason I chose to spend some money on a premium quality bag to protect my gear.

I bought this bag hoping that it was a very high quality bag made for production purposes. But even if I did not use the bag a lot, the sewing ripped on the side and the metal clip that holds the strap on both ends broke after only two weeks of shooting.

I sent emails to the company to have it repaired or have a replacement, since it seems to be deffective after only 12 days of shooting, but they never honored their warranty policy. I am very disapointed with my purchase and I will never buy from this company again.

I bought this item, a Cinebags CB-30, about a year ago and with just moderate use the bag has already completely fallen apart and is unusable. All the zippers broke, the top flap is half torn off, the stitching at two critical inseams has come apart. The worst camera bag I've ever had the misfortune of buying. Avoid at all costs.

Holds my HVX200, along with a Kino Flo Ring Light and all of their accessories (monitor, cables, Bracket 1 bracket, batteries, etc.) easily. Lots of user positionable dividers come with the bag.

I wanted a bag to hold my Canon 5DMKII mounted on the Cavision rails system, with follow focus, handgrips and shoulder mount, as well as a bracket to hold a Zoom H4N recorder. The package fits in the Cinebags bag perfectly. With some padded inserts I had, I can carry three lenses in addition to the one on the camera without crowding.

There are huge pockets on the sides for filters, CF card holders, etc. I've used Portabrace and Petrol bags for many years, and I think this Cinebag is as well built, and better in some respects, than those much more expensive bags. It's also very cool looking.

It comes with inch thick padded inserts so you can configure it the way you want. In my case I'm not using the inserts because I need the full width of the bag for the camera rig. If I had a matte box, it would fit as well.

The advantage of having the HDSLR rig all put together is that for run-'n-gun shooting, I can grab the camera and be ready to go in seconds. No need to assemble anything on location. Just slap the whole rig on the tripod, level and shoot. Well worth the money.

I'm a freelance videographer and am constantly shooting on location. I was looking for a high quality bag to hold my camera, microphones, batteries, monitor and various other small accessories. This bag does the job. I can put either my Canon XH-A1, or Sony NX5U in it and still have room for other necessary gear. Lots of useful pockets along both sides, plus a carry handle and removable shoulder strap provide great versatility. The quality of the zippers and stitching seems high. Very pleased.

I purchased this bag recently to house my Sony EX1R, my audio field mixer, a couple wireless mics and other miscellaneous gear for a trip to Mexico City and a remote village area in the nearby mountains for a Christian medical mission group. I found the bag to be very useful, and thus far I would say it seems to be well made and holding up excellently. I only have two somewhat negative comments about it. One is that the manufacturer says it meets FAA requirements for airline carry on luggage, but none of the aircraft I flew on had on board compartments large enough for this bag, so I ended up loading up the bag with stuff I was comfortable putting in checked baggage and carrying my cameras (the Sony and my Canon 7D) with me as carry-on. Second is that because the bage is generous with space, you can fill it up so it's rather heavy. An integrated pull up handle and set of wheels would be nice. However, those things add weight and take up space, so it's a compromise. Around home I'll use my small folding hand cart to move it around when I don't want to lift it. Otherwise, a great bag!

This bag is spacious and durable, fits the camera right in snugly. Looks to be of quality design, especially the stitching around the zippers and teh zipper pulls themselves look sturdy. Great price too!

I have purchased a number of Cinebags items over the years, and to be honest, I am not satisfied with their products. The material does not hold up under normal wear and use, and when asked about a replacement, which I did receive (and sold immediately at a significant loss), the email correspondence was awful. I felt belittled that I would have a problem with one of their products. The original item lasted about 3 weeks before the fabric tore from the seams. The email asked how I was using the product, and when I told them I was holding it by the handle, I was told that the handle is more for show, and that I should use the shoulder strap instead. I'm sorry, but I don't like companies dictating how I should use a product differently than it's intended use. If you don't make a product to withstand carrying by handle, then remove the handle. Same problem with the Cinebags wallet I purchased - same sorry fabric tearing at the seam under normal wear. They should replace the fabric and double stitch the seams. Careless manufacturing.

Great product and constructed very sturdy. Has plenty of extra pockets for tapes, memory cards and batteries.

Trying to pick it up without using the shoulder strap is a bit of a challenge; some top handles would've been nice. Using the shoulder strap, though, shows you how well balanced it is otherwise.

There's a lot of space for how compact it is. It's not small, but it feels like you can pack more in there than you'd think. Included are more than enough padded dividers to fit whatever setup you've got. You don't have to break down your entire rig to get it to fit.

Bonus: the colors are nice, and there are a good number of pockets (but not too many)

This bag is very durable as well as this is big enough to fit everything you possibly need for production.

Great bag at a great price, much better designed than the competition.

I'm a producer by trade but with the internet and with creating smaller pieces I'm finding myself doing a lot more of the jobs more often. I needed something that I could take with me to hold it all. This bag is perfect. There are more pockets than you'll ever need to hold it all. I can fit batteries (of every sort camera and accessory), cables, audio gear, documents along with the camera in this bag. There is very little this bag cannot do. It protects organizes and holds everything very well. I love the colors but that is up to one's own personal prefrence.

The construction of the bag is amazing as well. The webbing is very strong. The shoulder strap is solidly held on with metal hooks and rings that are stronger than most I've ever seen. I'd put this up against any other bag any day of the week including the one that is blue.

This company is becoming my new favorite in soft bags for having on set and on location.
