Crumpler 7 million Dollar Home (Review)

From F/2.8




What is the Crumpler 7 million Dollar home anyway? Is it a house that cost 7 million dollar our is it a house that looks like 7 million dollar one but does not account to that many? Well, both answer are wrong. The Crumpler is company that sells luggage. You know like Tamrac, Lowepro, Sensonite, and Vanguard. These are the big big company that sells great quality bags, in my case, Photography bags.

Design


From F/2.8


In term of design, well the bag definitely have some style on it. Compared to other bag such as Lowepro or Tamrac, Crumpler is far too ahead in term of design. Well, this is because other bag companies only focus on the quality and the protection it gave to very very expensive camera equipment. Maybe that is what they have to pay to lose the style. Maybe

The bag have almost non-camera bag looks at all. So people won't straight away identify you as a photographer if you use this bag. Definitely a great bag for paparazzi eh?

Performance

So, it have look but do it have protection? Does it do a good job in protecting the camera gear? Well, rest assured, the inside is filled with soft padding to absorb all shock whatsoever. Although I found that the bottom of the bag wasn't that thick enough. Otherwise its all good, nice and soft.


From F/2.8
A- main compartment to store a camera body + kit lens
B- 2 slot for lenses or flasguns.
C- Small compartment to put up back up memory card, battery, filter eg.
D- another rather bag compartment. Only good to store documents and such.
p/s: Theres actually 2 more small space beside compartment B, yeah the orange one. Good to store charger or drinks.

The interior as you can see, very eye-catching. With that very vibrance colour no way you will miss your gear. I don't know if its easy to get dirty of what but i'm sure as long as you don't put dirt or rubbish inside the bag, its going to look just fine.


How does it feels?

Superb. The shoulder pad is very comfortable but after 2 or so hour of lugging it around, the pain will start to come. But I don't see that's a problem. I mean come on, no such bag can can make the pain gone. Sooner or later it will come. Just the longer the better. In this case I think 2 hour is quite some time.


What I like :D

-Very comfortable shoulder pad.
-It got style.
-More than enough tripod slot to hang your tripod.
-Easy to reach item (you can choose to use the clip or those awfully noisy strap)
-Large compartment.
-It got style. What already?
-Many colour to choose from.
-Hide your photographer identity.
-Very nice padded compartment




What I do not like. :(

- Not water resistance. (It can withstand weather e.g rain/wind etc but if you put it in water, goodbye)
-No extra pad( to make up for more compartment)
-No rain cover
-Pocket are too big. (although a good thing, sometimes we need small ones, you now to put batteries and such)
-Not so thick bottom



So there you go. My full review on it. So far I have no complains about this bag. I love it. Although because of this bag, my budget for the holiday fails. Nevertheless im very much satisfy with this bag. So if you're looking for a new bag to replace those silly come along with your camera free bag, and you have embrace the photography world and wanted to grow on your equipment, look for no other than Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home.

thanks. if you planning on putting the telephoto with your lens, you gotta remove some of the compartment as you can fit it with the lens mounted on the body.
