I am always looking for the right bag for the right job… I feel like the Imelda Marcos of bags and even have a huge Carribee Magnum bag, to hold all my bags….

This looks like a nice piece of kit… looking forward to seeing the bag in the field… c’mon Scott… get that video done.. Like you don’t have enough to do.

Keep up the great work!

I am interested to try this out! It seems finding the perfect bag is a pretty common misery among photographers. I am on my 3rd. I have been using the Lowepro Rover plus – the top compartment where I put the loose items isn’t sealed from the bottom and I keep losing everything into the bottom part and it gets under the padding.

Where are you going to store your laptop? A separate bag?
Thanks for posting the video when you can.

ps – I’ll take your Sigma 300-800 since it won’t fit in your bag :-)

Hey Scott, can we get a TWIP discount?

Photo Bags aren’t the only things overpriced when it comes to photography…

Looking forward to the videos on this one and the Kata bag.

I’ll see your two cents and raise you four cents JBoc. ALL photo bags are overpriced. But I think that if any bag is worth $400, the Gura is – of course I have the advantage of owning one and few people have even seen one in the wild. I’ll do a video of it soon so folks can have more data points.

My $.02:

Just because you bring it out of the $400 range (albeit by a whole buck) doesn’t make it more attractive. It doesn’t carry a laptop either? Alex says he likes his Kata bag and it’s not “overpriced” like ALL photo bags. I’ll wait on that video from Alex (and Scott’s Gura) on the bag before I say anymore.

For a bagful of gears like this, when you travel to Cancun, do you need to do anything special related to custom? Do you need to file special request, form(s), etc? Do you need to do anything prior to arriving at the airport?

This is a wonderful bag. I was thinking buying the Moose Peterson one when I saw Scott’s video on packing for the Alaska trip. Now I am deciding between this and the Moose Peterson one.
