Everything you would ask for and more...high quality thick nylon/cordura material exterior(the stuff they use on high quality baggages), well padded interior lined with smooth nylon, and big zippers that are easy to grip. Outer pouch uses the same materials as the main compartment and is also padded with the same high-density foam material. Way better that some of the other cases, including the cheap Bogen canvas bags and even the Tamrac bags. Close to quality as the $150 Gitzo bags without paying the hefty price. I would give it a 5 if the shoulder strap was padded.

There are important things to a photographer that technology has developed: Zip Lock bags, Lithium Batteries, B & W C-41 processing film and Target for cheap camera cases (i.e. 6 Pack coolers that fits my 4x5 Field Camera: cost $6). So, this case is one of them. This case is built so well and so padded, it fits to my back like a glove. The base is built roomier than I needed for my Gitzo carbon fiber Mountaineer tripod, unitl I realized that I can fit my focusing hood and rain jacket in there.... This has turned into an overnight shoulder bag without evening realizing it. I have even shoved the toothbursh and towel in there. It is so lightweight, I rarely feel it. If I could improve upon it, I would add add a new color, dark blue. That's all.

I bought this case to hold a Manfrotto 190CXPro4 tripod with a 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ball Head with Rc2 Rapid connection plate (3157N). Before purchasing I thought it might be a little tight, but for the price I thought I would give it a try. It fits perfectly, with room to spare. The bag is also very well made and padded, without being overly bulky.

This is a 5 star bag for the amateur as well as the professional photographer. It is light weight and, combined with its water proof, durable construction, it is a must have for any photographer. Perfect for traveling it will hold a tripod, monopod and camera easily. Highly recommended for the price.

I was looking for a tripod to fit my Sunpak 9001 tripod and took a chance on this one. Boy am I pleased! The bag is well padded and has a very durable covering. It is indestructable, unless you use it for target practice, of course. The inside has a velcro pocket to store small, thin items and the ouside has an ID pocket and a padded pouch. I can store my digital camera, the lens cleaning pen and the shoulder strap in the outside pouch. What's really nice is that it can be carried with the short handles or the adjustable shoulder strap. I can't see buying any bag that wasn't padded. This is one heck of a good quality bag, and I would highly recommend it if you're searching for one!!!
