I was looking for a new "airline carry-on sized" bag to carry minimal, but redundant gear. Most bags I saw started at around $150-, and this Ape Case Pro Large sized bag was less than a third of that price. While this bag was sized right to use for transporting my kit, it would have been very difficult to work out of this bag at an event. Everything would need to fit tightly against everything else but there was not room enough to keep two fully assembled cameras (with lenses, battery grips, flash brackets, etc.), along with spare flashes, battery packs, etc. If everything was completely disassembled and wiggled and placed "just right" it would fit like a brick... but this isn't a practical bag to work out of. I would have needed two of these bags, one for each camera and kit... and that is one bag too many for airline carry-on.
Other than this "Large" bag being too small, I thought it was made to highest standards. Inserts were fitted with tight locking velcro and fully configurable. Bright Yellow interior made finding items easy under low light. Black shell would keep a neat appearance and offered a good amount of protective padding. Wide zippers were easy to use and its relatively squared shape would make it easy to stand or stack with other gear.
Bottom line... it is too small to work from with redundant gear. For everyone else, this is a GREAT bag and a true VALUE for the price.

I bought it for my wedding photo equipment, but the size of the bag is too small to fit all the stuff.
While you can fit 2 Canon 5D with battery grips on it, you will not be able to put even 2 mid size lenses on it like Canon 24-70mm. And it defenitely too small to fit the lens I use all the time Canon 70-200MM.
So the bag would be good for amateur who use only one camera with 2-3 small lenses and one flash.

This bag replaced my nikon gear bag, which had started to fall apart after about a year. Here is what I think after about 3 months of use:
- construction: It's obvious right away that the bag is tough -the nylon exterior is tough and firm, and the stitching is tight and clean. On the interior, the liner and adjustable dividers are made of soild material with good stitching as well. The Strap is padded well in just the right areas, and durable. However, the adjustable strap ends, if not pulled tight after adjustment, will sometimes work their way out...not a great thing for a bag meant to carry thousands of dollars worth of rig. A few teeth on the adjuster would have gone a long way. The zippers move smoothly and finish clean.
- ergonomics: If you're a pro, or a prosumer, that likes to carry around more than one body and several lenses you have to know that a backpack is pretty much your only option. That being said, this carries my D80 w/18-200, 50mm, sb200 (2), 600 and 900 flashes, extra batteries, chargers, manuals, filters, remotes etc etc with room to spare. I know it's been said, but the yellow interior is a HUGE help when you're looking for your gear in there, and the configuration options for the interior dividers are many and varied, a bonus if you're trying to squeeze a bunch of gear in there. The drawstring net pouch on the side is a nice touch.
- usage: if you're moving from place to place and shooting, forego using the zipper on the top and just use the clips. The zipper is nice for keeping the elements out, but it's a hassle if you're in a hurry, so those clips are a very nice touch to keep things in place without zipping. If you fill this thing up, it's going to get heavy, so you'll probably have to switch shoulders as you go, but still pretty comfortable despite the weight.
- overall: A great bag with a lot of interior space that would probably be perfect were it not for the sometimes unstable strap adjusters. Highly recommended otherwise.

I'm a professional wedding photographer and have had this bag for a year now and really love it. The Pros:
- Size: holds a Canon 50D with a large 24-70 attached, a Rebel XT body only, two prime lenses, a 580 flash and a large collection of accessories.
- Price: I have much more expensive bags than this that don't do nearly the job it does.
- Yellow interior; this really does make a difference when searching for things in a dimly lit room.
- Has a nicely tailored appearance.
- A place for everything.
- Durable, but soft on the gear
The cons (really, only two):
- There's an elastic strap to hold extra AA batteries in one of the pockets. A nice idea, but the straps aren't tight enough so the batteries just fall through to the bottom of the pocket.
- Wish it were just a couple of inches longer. On other sites, this bag is shown with two camearas facing each other with lenses mounted. This is only possible with smaller lenses. The 24-70 isn't THAT large, but it leaves no room for even the smallest lens on my second body.
For my needs, if this bag were just 2-3 inches longer, it would be the perfect bag. As it is, it's a nearly perfect bag at an excellent price.

I had purchased other bags in this price range and nothing has been close to the quality of this bag. With some creative organization I can fit my D200, my D40x, 2 - SB600 flash units and up tp four lenses, not to mention all the extra pockets for your various bits and pieces. My only complaint, you might look unprepared because this bag isn't huge, but it still holds alot of equipment nicely. You won't regret this purchase. Top notch product - excellent price...!
