Home > Consumer Reviews > AMBICO V4801 Video Camcorder Bag

I bought this bag the day I bought my Panasonic camcorder. The camcorder fits nicely inside without a lot of room for it to jiggle around, which is good. There are enough pockets to hold practically all of the accessories I have as well.

In the main compartment, where you will store your camcorder, there is a little zippered pouch under the top flap that can be used to store extra batteries or a light. On the inside of the main compartment you will find two padded dividers with velcro. One has a deep U shape which easily accomodates the viewfinder's eyepiece. The other is a square shape. You use these to pad both ends of your camcorder. If your camcorder is small enough, you will get extra storage space between the dividers and the inside of the end pockets. I store my camcorder's remote in one of these areas.

There are five zippered pockets on the outside of this bag. A flat on on the back with one gussetted end, one on either end of the bag and a large one in front with a small zippered pocket. The end pockets are large enough to hold the ac adapter/battery charger for my camcorder, the A/V cable and the cord and cable for the charger. The pocket I like the most is the front one. When you open it, you will see a small mesh zippered pocket and four elastic holders. You can store extra tapes, a pen/pencil, a small notebook, etc. in there. When I know I'm going out with the camcoder, I don't need to take a purse with me. This bag has enough space to hold my camcorder, the accessories, extra tapes and batteries and my wallet and keys.

My only complaint and the reason for scoring only three stars is the zippers. The top zipper has a tendancy to split and catch on the inside fabric which can be a pain.

It fits my Panasonic Camcorder, it has lots of pockets, it has a shoulder-strap (which is inside the bag when it's shipped), and it has 2 sections of padding going across the the main compartment (which are velcro so you can take them off and use them for extra padding). The borders between the outside pockets and the main compartment are flexible incase you have a large camcorder (only when the outer pockets are empty, though.) Best of all, it has a life-time warrenty!
The only problem with it was that the indentity tag where you can put your adress, etc (shown in picture hanging from handle) fell off and was lost because the leather got worn and ripped after only 8 months. Anyhow, overall I would recommend buying it this bag.

I have a digital camera that has a large zoom lens. This bag accomodates it and other accessories, memory and gadgets quite well. The outboard zippered pockets allow for other personal effects to be stowed away and safe. Perfect for travel or a photo shoot. Not to big or small. The leather like surface can receive rough handling without falling apart. At approx [price] it is was very good deal.

I bought this for a customer who wanted this specific bag and could not find it anywhere. It is no longer made by the manufacturer, so is very hard to find. The supplier here got it to me in perfect condition and with fast shipping. They may not have this item anymore but they have many others to replace it and they have fabulous work ethics and will go far in business.

Check them out even if they can't get this particular item for you. They will make it worth your while.

This bag is just what I needed. It has room for my charging and USB cables, my cleaning kit, camera with neck strap, and an extra lens. You could fit two lenses in the bag if they are relatively small.
The bag is insulated well enough for me to feel confident and not worry about it while traveling.
