The small black MS-DSLR1 Messenger Bag from Porta Brace is a rough and ready shoulder bag for the get-around photographer who needs a compact, lightweight bag with plenty of space for gear. It's rated to hold your DSLR with a medium zoom lens attached as well as two small extra lenses in a bag that contains movable internal dividers. In addition, there's a small internal zippered pouch that can hold batteries, cables, adapters, filters or other small accessories. To compliment that, the underside of the front flap contains three see-thru pockets that are sized for memory cards, personal ID, cleaning cloths or other small items.
The bag is made from tough 1000-D Cordura nylon and is water-resistant. No worries about being caught in inclement weather. The front flap is designed for fast access to your gear with its strong snap buckle. The bottom of the bag has a neat little feature - a touch fastened, fold-out flap lined with anti-slid material to accommodate a small tripod or monopod.
The shoulder strap is wide and comfortable at the shoulder pad area. The entire strap is also removable as well as adjustable. Whether you're a pro or amateur, the HDSLR Messenger Bag is sized for a day's casual shooting around town or a gig shooting a press conference.

Comments about Porta Brace MS-DSLR1 Messenger Bag (Small, Black):
This bag is NOT of the quality one should expect from porta brace.
Ugly, sloppily stitched corners.
Open top outside pockets that are susceptible to rain or snow.
Cheap rubber bottom that looks as if it'll wear out rapidly.
Main compartment doesn't have a zipper!?!?
Come on, Porta Brace!

Comments about Porta Brace MS-DSLR1 Messenger Bag (Small, Black):
I bought this as a present for my significant other - he had already done the research and picked this case out. Once it arrived, he was happy about the consistent quality from Port-a-brace, and how this new case matched his video camera case. All the pockets and great support structures inside, added with the sturdy flap that folds open to rest a lens on when switching for a better shot, made my guy very happy with this decision.
