I have one on order, before watching this video. Thanks for pointing out the negatives.. always just as important to mention, yet so many reviews don’t. I agree on the card holder slots.. what smart camera user is not going to want to store those ‘precious’ items in a safer place to avoid damage or loss? I’m feeling I will have about an 80% chance of no buyer’s remorse, despite the price, mostly confident I will like it due to what seems to be a wide open space, not flat/cramped design, yet not a bulky or box look on the outside either, and easy to carry, and imagining the materials will be classic old-school built to last; the own it for 20 years kind of quality. I hope so. The quilting on the back looks a little more feminine purse like, than what they say is a “bombers jacket lining” sort of stitch, imo. I wish they would have not done that. But as long as it doesn’t shout expensive ‘camera bag’ steal me, but some old crappy canvas leather thing (after some years of use) is what Im looking for the most. I bought the brown one. Thanks for the video.
Yes, I noticed that many reviewers were failing to mention the faults this product has. Unfortunately as RUclips grows more and more companies and advertisers are beginning to pay off reviewers. A great example of this is a rather prominent RUclipsr who never once in any of their many videos promoting the polaroid I-2 mentioned the many issues that camera has. One of their recent videos was so obviously a commercial I was shocked that anyone would be able to take it as a genuine unbiased opinion. I do find the bag built to last. The materials and construction are top notch. It's made in Vietnam and I like to think it's made in the same factories that Vietnamese constructed GoRuck bags are. As far as old school design, yes. The bag feels like Domke and Peak Design collaborated to design this product. The internal layout is extremely similar to a Peak Design Sling bag. While the externals are made of canvas and leather which is quite Domke like. Personally, I don't mind the pattern on the back. I've always associated that particular quilt pattern with more masculine clothing and American military issue/camping cold weather coats and blankets. As far as "steal this bag" I'm not really sure there's any bag out there that would truly draw a thieves attention. As long as you are situationally aware, you likely wouldn't have any trouble with thieves. Thieves are opportunists and if you leave them no opportunities you'll most likely never have a bag stolen. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching! I'm glad that you've purchased from Clever Supply co. They are GREAT people.
@@uhmidkbro. ah I go over that in the video but to summarize; The dividers have sd card sleeves that often catch on things as they go into the bag, quite frustrating. The tablet sleeve is very tight and the hook is extremely difficult to hook or unhook. It usually requires bending or deforming the bag. I probably wouldn’t buy this bag again because of those issues. They seem minor on paper but are much more troublesome than they sound. Thanks for asking.
@@sethpotterphoto You're right, I never noticed that before. But I agree with you, these SD card compartments are one of the more pointless things about this bag. I'm afraid the cards might fall out, then gather at the bottom of the bag, and I'll get confused about which ones have already been used and which ones haven't.
@@TheThowo agreed. The sd card pockets do seem like a bit of a gimmick. Although I’ve been using the bag for a while and I can say that the sd cards fit snuggly. I haven’t experienced any falling out so far.
Nice bag, waiting for my order to arrive soon, I chose the light brown color,
Ah yes I was tempted by the classic look of the brown bag too. It’s definitely a nice bag despite the nitpicks I have with it.

Love this bag! 🦊
I’d say I do to if it weren’t for some of the design issues I have with it.
@@sethpotterphotowhat issues were u having

Why don't you just install the dividers upside down? That way, nothing will get caught on them. Definitely better than having to cut something off :-)
Well, that would work with typical dividers. These dividers have Velcro tabs sewn onto the bottom though.
