Ever since i added the 70-200 2.8 glass to my lens line up i needed a camera bag. I tried bags from tamrac, lowepro, crumpler, Thinkthank etc...The expedition caught my attention because it was compact yet the construction quality was military type. I store my A700+VG attached to 70-200mm, 50mm, 18-200mm, 30mm,speedlite, CF Cards, CF reader, portable HDD, extra battery, charger, NIMH cells and a 9" netbook on the front pocket. It also has provision slide a tripod on the front lower pocket. The only downside i find of the expedition is due to the superior materials its a bit heavy.

A little small but mighty

I've only ever used the free camera bags that come with camera kits. Since my last bag was stolen, I had to purchase my first bag. This bag is extremely well built, padding everywhere, very weather proof, and firmly holds a ton of stuff. The Velcro is super strong to make exact size sum-compartments inside. The only criticism I have is that it is a bit smaller than I expected. The picture somehow made it seem a bit bigger. I can get all my stuff in it (fortunately), but was expecting a bit more room to grow... Still, it's and extremely well designed / built bag.

Good Purchase

Very well constructed and protects camera and gear. A little tight for camera with 200mm lens attached and lens hood and have to rearrange compartments to fit. Has plenty of compartments and protection from the elements. Has nice carrying handle if you don't want to wear it on your back. Overall, it is worth the price.

Comfortable - Great Protection

Bought on recommendation from friend for my trip to Alaska. Perfect travel size and can carry all you need. Plenty of room for Nikon D80, 18-135, 28-300, 7x35 binos, 10x25 binos, video cam, backup camera, cleaning kit, lens hoods, spare batteries, chargers, cables, rain jacket! Excellent quality and no worries about protection for equipment. Easy to manage on plane, boat, train - and very comfortable to carry. Highly recommend.

Perfect for travelling.

My husband and I trekked all over Morocco with this pack. It is padded and comfortable to wear-- a major plus. Very well designed, with a place (or a way to attach) everything. We comfortably fit 1 digital SLR body, 3 lenses, 2 hoods, a smaller digital camera, plus a bunch of granola bars inside. It is small, and adjustable to suit your particular needs. We put it to the test over the course of 12 days in very harsh conditions, and there is absolutely no sign of wear or malfunction. A great investment.

The Expedition 4x is a compact, feature-rich pack for most photographic outing. This high-mobility pack offers foam-padded protection and quick access to an SLR, lenses, flash and accessories and a foam-padded front pocket for portable DVD players or viewers with up to an 8" screen.

The main compartment is completely foam padded with numerous adjustable, foam-padded dividers to protect a digital or film SLR, 4-6 lenses (including a 70-200mm zoom), and a flash. The camera with a zoom lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. A restraint strap holds the lens firmly in place. The front pocket is foam-padded for portable DVD players or viewers with up to an 8" screen. Two Windowpane-Mesh pockets inside the front flap visibly organize filters, film and other accessories. A plastic, foam-padded platform in the bottom provides shock protection while a LockDown rain flap protects the zipper from the elements.

"Wing" Accessory Pockets
Dual "wing" pockets with water-resistant zippers organize and provide quick access to important accessories without disturbing your other gear. These "wing" pockets also feature Tamrac's U.S. patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

QuickClip Tripod Attachment System
A tripod is cradled (centered and balanced) securely between these pocke ts with Tamrac's QuickClip tripod attachment system while the lower, plastic-reinforced Tripod Foot Pocket holds two tripod legs secure

The Harness
The state-of-the-art harness system with Dual-Density Comfort Pads provides maximum carrying comfort while Air Flow Channels help keep you cool and dry during extended use. The pack is also equipped with an adjustable waist belt and an expandable sternum strap for finer adjustments. The harness features "D" rings that accept Tamrac's optional backpack camera strap (Model N-11).

M.A.S. and S.A.S. Compatible
Strap Accessory System (S.A.S.)and Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.) attachment slots on the pack provide a convenient place tocarry Tamrac's optional M.A.S. and S.A.S. products. Four SpiderTabs provide additional attachment points for expedition equipment or extra clothing.
