User Reviews about Urban Disguise 40 Shoulder Bag

This is the best made camera bag I have ever owned. It is well designed and has every feature a photographer could need. I ordered this bag after reading several reviews over several months and when I received it I was very disappointed to find that my Canon 5D Mark II with the battery grip on it would not fit in the bag with a lens attached. I returned the 40 and reordered the 70. It is the same bag only larger. It fits my gear perfectly. I carry my camera with grip and 70-200 attached, a 24-105, 50 prime, my wide angle zoom,flash unit,batteries and my Canon 30-d body and my I Pad with room to spare. The 40 would have been ok for a DSLR without a battery grip but the 70 was a better choice for me. -- Built like a tank

I travel a lot both locally and nationally. The Think Tank "Urban Disguise" performs above specifications. Not only can I store a Nikon D3 with wide angle lens, there is ample room to store my 200mm f2.8 zoom. A speedlite and all the little things one needs on location round out the package. Here's where this bag really shines though. Despite being a little "thick" when loaded, I can still sling it over my shoulder, and easily access my stuff when I'm shooting an event. When I fly, I keep the D3, extra lens, and laptop in the bag, under the seat in front of me. Works great; worth every penny of the price.Think Tank Urban Disguise 40, Plain Looking, Fully Functional Briefcase Size Shoulder Bag for Two Pro SLRs & Multiple Lenses up to a 70-200mm f/2.8 -- Amazing Camera Bag

The Urban Disguise 30 would probably have been enough for my travel needs (camera body, three lenses, teleconverters, flash unit and assorted odds & ends), but I didn't like its vertical design. So I went the next step up and got the Urban Disguise 40.

This thing is built like a panzer and probably holds as much as one. Build quality is superb, the materials are very good and the design is clever, with lots of inner compartments and divisions to accomodate equipment safely. It also comes with a rain cover (with a small footprint when folded up inside its own nylon bag and stored in the camera bag -- you choose where) and a media wallet that would take a lot of concerted effort to misplace.

Compact it is not, but I knew that beforehand. The zippered main compartment can easily hold my E-30 + 50-200 mm vertically in the central division, two smaller lenses and teleconverters in one side division, flash in the other, user manual and more. There are half a dozen extra panels with velcro sides to build smaller sub-compartments, but I haven't yet figured out what to do with them.

The front flap has another zippered compartment for flatter items, and under it lie another zippered compartment and two big pockets (one of them carries my small compact digital walkaround camera, the other has a clip for the media wallet). This internal big zippered compartment has provisions for small items, such as a GPS for geotagging, a card reader, extra batteries, chargers, pens, an external hard drive, etc.

There are also two side pockets for a small water bottle, a cell phone or MP3 player or whatever fits. And the backside of the Urban Disguise has yet another large zippered compartment, plus a big pocket that can open top and bottom to be fitted to a suitcase handle -- but that, when closed, will carry some more stuff.

The bag strap is padded and rests comfortably on the shoulder. It is removable; the attachment clips are metal and won't ever slip open. They can be replaced by the shoulder harness, sold separately, that turns this shoulder bag into a backpack. There are also two short straps to hand-carry the Urban Disguise.

The more I use the Think Tank Urban Disguise 40, the more I am amazed by the designers' attention to detail. These guys either are photographers or communicate very well with them: everything in this bag has been well thought out and executed.

The Urban Disguise 40 will double as my photography and carry-on bag on my next overseas trip and I've no doubt that it will work very well. -- Everything plus the kitchen sink

I bought this bag as a gift for the Photographer in my life. He absolutely loves it! -- Great Bag!

I plan on buying more equipment but for now this is bag is perfect for what I have: D300, 70-200, 17-50, 50 1.4, SB800, 10-20, and a bunch of accessories. The padded part of the strap makes the weight of everything not as heavy as you'd think but I don't plan on always carrying all my equipment. In the future I'll buy one of the rolling cases and use this as my walk-around bag. The only complaint I have so far is that the padded part of the strap is fixed on one spot on the strap. -- Best bag for my needs
