I scored a used one off BHphoto for $200. Its a well organized bag. Only critique would be to have straps allowing you to flip open the top and have it not fall all the way back. A big benefit of the Dr Bag is that you can set it on the ground, open it with one hand, use it, and nothing inside touches the outside, easy access, no zippers and no time wasted on camera assembly. But with a top lid that flaps all the way back, it can 1) dump anything in the lid pouches that are not zipped close... right onto the ground 2) when you are on a table or camera cart and open it up, it can flap backwards potentially pulling the bag off the edge... Solution: a small adjustable strap on the left and right. Some bags have the straps and its one less headache on shoots.
The one thing I wish this bag had was the ability for the lid to stay vertical when opened like the Arri bags so the pouches were easier to use one handed
I was watching a review and they made the point that while the bag is collapsible Sharp did such a good job with a strong Velcro it can be hard to take the side panels off. I like that it just shows the quality and time someone spent to design it.
Just got mine, 2 actually. I bought two of these bags, they got here today and I am very, very dissappointed. This is what happens with both of the bags I received: 1. The top lid magnet hardly works 2. The top lid is almos impossible to close, as the zips are in a very akward position, and require to carefully align top and sides every time you want to do something so silly as to "close the damn bag" 3. The weight of the bags is almost as much as my previous bags WITH THE CAMERAS IN THEM, so they are extremely heavy. Impossible to work with whithout a trolley once full of actual gear. 4. The zips are very bad, most zips open from both ends, like the worse zips you've encountered ever. 5. The oversized clips and zips are totaly overkill, if the whole thing was working, I may overlook the weight and size of the arrangements, but once the whole kit weighs a ton, nothing extra makes sense. 6. There are no dividers at all. Evend the cheapest camera bag comes with some basic dividers, forget about this one. 7. Too many pencil spaces. It almost feels like when they did not know what to do with the available space they added pencil loops, The only pencil like thing I carry on my shoots is a lens cleaner and my apple pen, may sometimes, be a single black marker or even a red and blue ones for my clap obard, and that is it, Who the hell needs 15 pencil spaces in a camera bag? 9. May be all the above is wrong, because I don't know how to use this stuff, but then again, a bliding manual would have helped!!! 10- The Overall experience is that of a chinese 10 dollar bag I purchased 2 weeks ago, it fits a full rig and it does what expected, and, at least, they did not overpromised, overcharged and under delivered as Shape did.. Well, as you can see, not much to say, if you need images and proof, just request and I will post a video of the unboxing, that will even make it worse. Hope you fix this soon for other customers. Best. Francis
That is the almost EXCACT same problems I have! My top lid cracked indside before i used it, because the material inside is very fragile or cheap plastic. Returned mine yesterday and are waiting for my refund...
This looks like a great bag, but too large for airline travel. The bag collapses into the shipping box, but that won't help me when I want to fill the bag with gear for air travel.

I just got mine been looking for something like this to carry my rig and all of my gear!!! Very satisfied thanks for creating it....
So cool, just what I need to keep my gear organized in one place! For my needs this is better than any hard case I was looking at.
How you liking it? I just ordered one.
I love this bag so much! It’s my everyday camera bag! Holds my broccoli 6k pro fully rigged with room to spare! Thanks for great products!

I don’t understand why is one side taller than the other? Which side does it go on?
