Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of National Geographic NG 2475 Earth Explorer Medium Shoulder Bag
Customer Review: Great marketing, poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this bag with great expectations, having gone through several others that did not meet my needs. Needs were to carry a DSLR, three or four lenses, two flash units, a laptop and other miscellaneous photographic bits and pieces. The advertising, literature and photographs gave the impression that these items could be accomodated comfortably, perhaps with room to spare.
Here is what worked and what did not.
What worked:
1. I was able to fit the two flash units into the two pockets very nicely, together with a some spare batteries, cleaning materials, memory cards and the like.
What did not work:
1. The space for the laptop is laughable, unless you carry a very small 12 inch screen machine. My HP 2000, an inexpensive, 'thin and light' model with a 14 inch screen, barely fitted when inserted vertically, and lacked any sort of protection for the edge sticking out the top. I could not put in this relatively small laptop correctly, in the horizontal position. (Perhaps they need to indicate in their literature the size of laptop that will fit right).
2. The inner padded case (the full bag is not padded, there is a small padded insert)can accomodate just one extra lens in addition to a DSLR with a lens mounted. The width of the padded case is approximately the width of a typical meduim size DSLR (without an external battery pack). So if youstore a camera with a typical zoom lens mounted, there is room inside for just one more lens. There is space outside the padded portion for more lenses, but that is just that - unpadded, with no protection whatsoever against impact, which brings me to my next point.
3. The strap, all of two inches wide looks very sturdy. Unfortunately, the material of the clip that lets you adjust its length was extremely flimsy - at least in my bag. A few hours after I had loaded the bag and was carrying it on my shoulder, the clip broke and the bag crashed down, damaging a $200 lens when the bag hit the ground. Had to complete the trip with a broken lens, the strap knotted around the bag to hold it, looking very ugly indeed.
I had high hopes that this would be my ideal bag for carrying a small laptop plus a simple camera outfit. Unfortunately, its design meets neither the needs of a general purpose bag - to carry a laptop, some papers plus a simple camera outfit, neither will it work as a proper camera bag which offers reasonable protection for its contents.
I will be returning my broken bag with deep regret, since I had great expectations for this bag which carries the National Geographic logo.
