hi guys!

anybody here owners of crumpler brand bags? any feedback how they are?
thanks!

John

they are great! :D 5 mil happy user!

I have a few Crumpler bags, very happy with them. Has better cushioning, in my opinion, than most other camera bags. :)

I use Crumpler bags for my camera and my notebook and I highly recommend them.

which models are you using/happy with/recommend?
just saw them available in virramall, kind of pricey but they sure look well thought out and stylish.

I have a Budgie Smuggler which I use when I want to go light. I think this model is no longer available. I also have a 6M Dollar Home and 7M Dollar Home. :) The Million Dollar Home series are being sold with a big discount now in Digital Walker so comes out cheaper than the U.S..

Unfortunately, the 6 and 7Million Dollar Homes are hard to come by...

well i have a considerable embarrassment notebook bag, pretty good. by he way i was at digital walker last friday and they replenished their stocks. they easily had a dozen new models which look more stylish and colorful. unfortunately none are for cameras

thanks for the feedback guys!

yeah they're hard to come by, i haven't really seen any shop that sell them. where's this digital walker by the way?

Hello John, Digital Walker Branches could be found in:

V-mall Greenhills
Park Square 1
Mall of Asia
Market Market
SM South Mall
SM San Lazaro

I have "The Luncheon" for my notebook computer, looks great and works great! Highly recommended!

I have a 6 million dollar home crumpler bag and I bring it with me everywhere. I can even fit in my 400mm f/5.6L lens along with 2 cameras and another lens plus the other small stuff like CF cards, lens pens, batteries etc, etc, etc - Yun nga lang you have to learn how to make proper use of the space :Grin:

I have a $5Mil. Its kinda cramped but that's because I dont know how to maximize the space heh.

Been using the 6 Million Dollar Home in oatmeal color for around a year already. Just gotta love those paddings. I've attached a small Lowepro belt bag on one side for the CompactDrive and CF cards so I don't have to open the bag most of the time. Haven't maximized it until now when I got the Sigma 12-24 loaner :) There's the kit lens and a 50mm there. Will take out a busted 420EX flash to make room for an 85 1.8 in the near future :)

Another vote for the 6 million dollar home. After going through a number of bags, I think this may be it. It's perfect for my needs.

I can fit my D200 with 3 medium sized lenses like the 17-55 + 10.5 fisheye + SB800.

I have a 6M and it was perfect for my D200 with 18-200 attached, 80-200 on one side, and 12-24 and 60 on the other side... until, I added a grip.

Once I find a 7M, the 6M might have to go...

hey if you let it go i can snag if from you:)

saw at least 5 units (red, and light blue) of 7M at digital walker Virra Mall last Aug21. Go go go and grab one now :)

Hmmm... how do you make this fit? Does your D200 have a grip? The most I get in my 6M is D200 + grip with a lens attached and either the flash or another lens but not both. :)

Hi Rosalie,

I sold my grip as I didn't like the added heft. :(
Anyways, I've arranged it in such a way that the camera with an attached lens is located in the middle position vertical to the length of the bag. Now, there would be 2 open slots on each side of the camera(top and bottom sides). Divide those slots into two via dividers and then you would have 4 semi-square compartments. Enough room for 3 lenses + the flash.

It gets really heavy though when everything is filled up.

Hope this helps.

@Zandy

With no grip, the set-up you mentioned wouldn't be a problem. :) Yup, the grip definitely adds some bulk but just gave myself time to get use to it. I really love having the vertical shutter. :Grin:

i have a 7 million dollar home. works great for my stuff. i can pack in my d70, 80-200, 18-70, 70-300, 50, sb800, chargers and stuff. btw, i can store my d70 inside with any of these lenses attached (for 80-200 with hood reversed of course).

i've taken this bag everywhere. strap is long enough to be carried messenger style. padding is pretty good. i've even walked around briefly in some light rain with the bag and none of my stuff got wet.

I have the dreadful embrarrassment and $7M home. The water resistant fabric is pretty good. The water droplets don't get absorbed quickly so you have lots of time to wipe them off if you get caught in light rain. The grippy velcro that crumpler uses is both a bane and boon, it makes it hard to quickly open the flap but it definitely will keep your stuff inside. :)

oh and just to add to mark's comment on the velcro. it's pretty grippy since you can sometimes get away with carrying the bag via the handle without snaping the strap underneath (be warned though, it depends on the load as well). the thing is it's pretty noisy when opening it. :)

I have a 4 million dollar home in blue/yellow. So far so good. Benn choosing between lowepro and tamrac but ended up with this one instead. Perfect for my frequent out of town trips. Enough to securely carry my E-330 and the kit lens, plus the charger, and some filters. I think it will accomodate up to 70mm.

I like. :) Very happy with it.

if you're comfortable wearing it messenger style (which is the only way to go during long shoots where you need to have all your gear with you), then it's almost perfect. otherwise, carrying it like a shoulder bag is a major drag (again, for long shoots).

if you're going out of town, it could be a liability especially if you're going to trek. for city use, not a problem. in fact, it's pretty stylish.

another minor gripe that i have with the crumpler is that it doesn't allow for easy stowing of documents, e.g., brochures or folders. external pockets for these things are non-existent.

if you're ok with all of the above, then the crumpler is pretty decent. it's a good starter bag. happy with mine. as i said, minor gripes :)

I have a Crumpler WeeBee for my 12in PB and I'm excited to get the 6 Million Dollar for my camera. I can say I am a very pleased Crumpler bag user for it does not only protect you beloved gear but it also looks hip & cool and doesn't shout out loud that it's a laptop or camera bag :)

its a $7million one:)

You may call me a bag crazie but I now have the 5, 6 and 7M... and each has its own purpose.

As much as I want to sell my 5M, there is a sentimental tag attached to it. Plus, the idea of maybe someday removing the grip off my D200 and just using one lens the entire day might find the 5M useful.

My 6M is my everyday bag... houses cam with grip with my mid range lens attached plus one more lens. Yep, that's just about it.

My 7M is for days when I need to bring everything. It can house my cam with grip, 5 lenses and my flash. Now, this load weighs more than my arm and leg.

I love the water repellant feature of the material, the padding, the colors, the logo... ;-)

Oh I forgot, it's a 7 Mil Crumpler :) Thanks for reminding Carlo :)

Same here, I'm a very satisfied owner of Crumpler 7 Mil. What I like about the bag is it can holds my 300d with grip, 17-40 f/4 and 70-200 f/4, and there's still space for the 580 EX (hope to buy next month). And the most important for me is, it does not look like a camera bag.

Just traded my crumpler keystone for a bigger backpack (tam adv9) :(

I've been using a Brian's Hot Tub for almost three years now -- perfect for my underwater and topside systems during out-of-town trips.

Hi, Have the 5 mil dollar home bag. Fits my 400D with batterygrip easily plus my flash. Still has room for a short lens and some accessories. I find it quite comfortable to carry around.

Whickey Cox Laptop/Baclpack owner here:).

Primarily use this when I travel (can carry all of my gear!).

just purchase 6mil dollar home...
very stylish! spacious!

I just got the $7mil I've been wanting and I am very statisfied with it. Thanks Carlo :)

i want the $7mil!!!

but i dont need it yet.. sigh.

hope you enjoy it roro. from the looks of it you had fun configuring the pads? it gave me a major headache

Yeah I did. I was able to configure it somehow to fit my 12" PowerBook and my camera and a few short lenses plus flash. This could be helpful if I just wanna carry just one Crumpler bag :D

wow you managed to fit your laptop as well? thats going to be one very heavy bag:)

hi guys. just wanted to know if anyone is using a sinking barge or customary barge? what's the difference between the two? any feedbacks?

how come most are using the million dollar home rather than a backpack?

Backpacks are a hassle to use since you first have to remove it from your back and lay it down somewhere(hopefully not dirty) to get access to your equipment. Not helpful if change lenses often.

hi guys!

anybody here owners of crumpler brand bags? any feedback how they are?
thanks!

John

i have the black crumpler sling bag. it is very handy but suitable for 3 lenses including the lens mounted on the camera. i still have to carry a back-pack for the laptop. :(

i'm thinkin to get the canon backpack. suits all!:)

Backpacks are a hassle to use since you first have to remove it from your back and lay it down somewhere(hopefully not dirty) to get access to your equipment. Not helpful if change lenses often.

But how come it says on crumpler's site:
"This bag also provides Crumpler's exclusive 'slingability' for easy and secure access to the equipment compartment without fully removing the bag from one's shoulder."

have anyone tried this before?

try checking out the million dollar homes of crumpler..the 6 and 7 looks very good and have enough room for a full system. looks good too.

check it out in
http://www.photocous.com/servlet/Categories?category=Crumpler+Bags

but i ended up with the National georgraphic bag...more "mature" look and i love the safari/ explorer feel to it.

Hooray for Crumpler ... i personally prefer the bright colored ones .. para di madali mawala at i can spot my bag a mile away just in case i forget it somewhere.

Need to upgrade to a bigger one na rin .. all these gear ... sigh. Here's a tip too - one day, i was in SM Department store and I chanced upon a school bag made by HAWK. Its a big black square trolley bag reminiscent of a pilot's bag. Its a sturdy bag that you can put a lot of stuff in (plus it has a wheels - para sa mga tamad like me). Its so sturdy - you can even sit on it! Perfect for those out of town locations (na may car ka) - and you just roll out your trolley bag with stuff inside - camera, laptop, flash, stands (if its small enough to fit), reflectors (the foldable ones). It even comes with its own "raincoat" para pag umuulan - you can just "wrap" it...

How much are these bags? do they have backpack for cameras and lenses?

Dude - are you referring to the Crumpler bags? Check out Digital Walker in Park Square or Market Market. Yes - they have backpacks too ... a small camera bag (fits your slr, an extra lens, flash should be around P3500 or sometning. Better to check out the mentioned shop --- I heard its cheaper pa in Singapore --- so in case mapadpad ka sa Lion City - you might as well get from there ...

How much are these bags? do they have backpack for cameras and lenses?

Visited market2, last month i think its around 7k to 9k. 2 colors na lang nakita nun, the orange & the green.

I think you're referring to the bigger ones .. try mo rin Greenhills - I think Digital Walker has a branch there too ...

wow you managed to fit your laptop as well? thats going to be one very heavy bag:)

I don't have yet a lot of lenses so I configured the bag to slip in my PowerBook 12" if I need it to bring to shoots. My current bag contents are 1 unit Canon 350D+BG-E3 with attached 24-105 lens, 2 other small lenses, 1 flash unit and some accessories that goes into the front pocket and the mesh pocket on the main flap.

Yeah it is very heavy when I slip in my laptop + mouse + power brick but I find it better setup than lugging 2 separate Crumpler bags :)

I just got a new 7M$ Home from Digital Walker Vmall. Spent about 20 mins playing around with the inner paddings before I finally stuck all my gear in. It still has lots of room to spare. And I added a Winkler for my iPod on the side:Grin:

I want a bigger Crumpler bag ... sigh! Santa --- i've been (sort of) good this year ...

i have The Whickey And Cox crumpler backpack. can fit most of my gear.

i'll try to sort it now and check if it can carry 2 bodies with grip.

overall performance is good - less stress on my back. just like the other crumplers - doesnt look a bit like a camera bag but doesnt scarifice on security (fully padded gear).:)

Now what should I get for myself this christmas? A bigger bag? Or use the money to add to the lens that I've been lusting for a few weeks now ... tsk tsk.

@alan

lens!!! then, a bigger bag!!!

@alan

lens!!! then, a bigger bag!!!

was actually thinking of that too ... :D

I heard that the C-bags are way cheaper in Singapore ... I wonder if this is really true. Then again, with the import taxes here ... it could be.

Buy the lens, go to singapore, buy the bag, then shoot some pics using the your new lens and bag!!! :Grin: :D :) :Grin:

kinda expensive ha :Grin: sana santa would give me one. :Grin:

@ Alan

would you have any idea how much cheaper are these C's cheaper in Singapore? been toying with the idea of buying one of these bags

im not really sure dude. but i thnk cheaper nga daw sa singapore. try doing some nline research. i think there are some online singapore stores. have not done it yet.. but im sure there are :>

thanks dude, will try to check online

got myself a 6 million dollar home yesterday! got it in digital walker moa. all my gear fits inside, quite tight though...

ok din ba ung mga backpack ng crumpler? im considering of getting one. pero sabi ng karamihan mejo mahirap pag backpack dala mo kasi hindi mo agad mailalabas ang cam mo unlike pag shoulder type pwede mo agad mailabas ang cam from the side.

ok din ba ung mga backpack ng crumpler? im considering of getting one. pero sabi ng karamihan mejo mahirap pag backpack dala mo kasi hindi mo agad mailalabas ang cam mo unlike pag shoulder type pwede mo agad mailabas ang cam from the side.

actually thinking about this too, the problem with shoulder type is it is more tiring to carry, because it is one sided,, but buying a backpack is much easier to carry but the problem is it's accessibility to your gears,,,

I use a backpack to transport my gear on a regular basis. But I sometimes resort to using a shoulder type for some shoots.

I will often transport my gear in my backpack if I will have to travel by airplane. I will then transfer my gear and just bring along what I think I need for the day once I reach my destination.

actually thinking about this too, the problem with shoulder type is it is more tiring to carry, because it is one sided,, but buying a backpack is much easier to carry but the problem is it's accessibility to your gears,,,

the back pack type is very expensive. 8k ++ sa digital walker. shoulder type is half the price. yeah and shoulder type is more accessible. but mas maporma yung back pack. hehehehe.

One of the main reasons I got the $6mil home. second is the price diff.

Hmmm... the the thread now is - backpack or sling? I personally prefer a sling - becuase I carry both a sling (for the gear) and a backpack (for my clothes, etc etc) when I do weekend junkets.

Yun lang .. BOW.

What about waist bags? :)

Have you guys seen any of the Think Tank bags? They're really cool and crafted really well.

@ Alan

would you have any idea how much cheaper are these C's cheaper in Singapore? been toying with the idea of buying one of these bags

i tried looking for crumplers in singapore, all of the photography stores I went to, dont carry them, its either lowerpro, tamrac, etc... tried looking at department stores, couldnt find one too...but i did saw teenagers wearing these bags while i was there..

just got the sinking barge yesterday. it's a backpack and priced at 6.9K at Digital Walker. it's quite good for my lappy and nikon d80 with one extra lens. perfect for travelling.


regarding the price on singapore, im not sure, but i had my friend check the sinking barge in sg and its priced at 8K+ converted to pesos. so i guess it's cheaper in digital walker. im just not sure on other stores in sg.

so i guess we wont be having an easy time finding C's in Singapore........next stop HK or Bangkok:)

i got one telephoto, one flash, body, a 50mm prime, kit lens, 28-135 lens, will this fit the 6mil,, hehehe i should bring my gears at digital walker:Grin:

Darryl:

i fit a 70-300 f/4-5.6, 50mm prime, 18-55, flashgun, and a f2.8 attached to the body and still got some space in the 6m$ home :)

that's good,, don't want the 7mil coz it's too big ,,:Oops:

eto, i got sigma 18-200, lens kit 17-55, 28-135 IS attached to body, 580ex flash, battery grip, aspirator, lenspen, lens cover etc. all fits in 6m dollar home. with few square inches of space left. few meaning wala na malagay na iba. hehehe :Grin: pero i think for general purpose camera bag, enough na ang 6mil

Darryl, you should've tested them (your gears) in my bag in our last adventure in Tanay! :Grin: I didn't know you were looking for crumplers then. I was using a $6M for that trip (bad idea nga, dapat Lowepro AW yung dinala ko :(). Bossing PARC brought his $7M.

I have a 7M. Admittedly, its big. But I got it for that reason. I tend to stick a lot of things in my bag aside from camera gear like an extra shirt, towel, mp3 player, cellphone. So far it fits my 300D with grip and 10-22 attached, flash in pouch on one side with the nifty fifty f1.8. Sigma telephoto on the other side. And still got room for a couple of more lenses or other odds and ends. I also utilized the accessory straps on the outside and attached a Winkler for my mp3 player and an old Lowepro bag for miscellaneous items (P&S camera, celphone, cigarettes). Quite happy with it:)

Hi Jay, (and all others who have a 6m ) i almost have the same gear as you, 350d, sigma 18-200, kit lens, bge3 battery grip (always attached to the camera), 430ex, tamron 28-75 2.8, batterries, lenspen, etc..., however, I only have a 4M crumpler and this is a pain to fit in (the 430ex, just goes on top of everything), i leave the kit lens at home, that's about it.

I'm planning to get a canon 70-200 f4 IS (try to sell the sigma), will this somehow fit in the 6M home, plus all the other stuff I mentioned? thanks!

i think it will all fit in $6m. but you can't put anymore stuff in aside from all the stuff you mentioned. (not really sure) better bring all your gear to the store to see if it will all fit in the bag : )

Thanks! time to visit digital walker..

i have a 7 million dollar home and it fits my camera with a lens attatched to it except the 70-200. but i have that placed on the side and an epson p4000 in the bag too! perfect combo for me! nice all around bag. pangharabas talaga!

haven't bought my flash that time so i was not considering to buy a crumpler bag,, :(
actually sir nel that was one of the reason i can't buy a crumpler bag,, you never know the next time it's gonna rain,, i was mighty proud of my tamrac last eb, not one drop of water inside:Grin:

you have a good point here,,, :) after the last marikina eb, i am looking forward to more adventures:D

but i think the advantage of having a crumpler bag is that it doesn't look like you are carrying a camera,, :D

good day sirs and ma'am's
i have a crumpler 5 million dollar home as shelter for my soon to retire f80 w/grip, 50mm and 28-200 (switching to digital before the new year). I had been using a lowepro nova aw, but the cam with the grip is hard to fit. at the same time everybody knows you have a camera..
the lowepro took a beating from me but it liked it, it kept my gear thru dust, downpours and pollution, alas its now cocooned in a plastic bag waiting for a d50/d70s and outdoor trip.
the crumpler is really good in terms of ergonomics, wide straps make it much more comfortable to carry, dissipating the the bite. the style makes the capacity bigger than it looks, the colors( i have black) make it more "relaxed" instead of looking "hard-core".
though we have to be very careful, as these bags do not offer the bulletproof protection of other bags, yes it is water resistant but only to some extent; maybe for drizzles the have in other countries but not for downpours we have here. Dust may also get in through the sides of the cover, so stay clear of dirtroads..

overall crumpler is impressive, well-thought, and ok for the price, quality is on par with tnf, deuter other quality bag manufacturers. i would recommend it for urban jaunts but use others for hardcore trips or bring a ziploc.....

wait,, are there discount cards that can be use in digital walker stores? someone mention before that there is a 10% off for crumpler bags,,

What? May discount card??? argh...

ei sorry jay,, no discount card,, it was a misunderstanding:(

awwww... sayang

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie here and this is my first post. I just got myself a new DSLR last night and I have yet to buy a home for it. Would you know
how much a Crumpler would cost? for this models: 4M, 5M, 6M? A ball park figure would do.

Thanks in advance. =)

A visit to PARK SQUARE or MARKET MARKET would be helpful for you. The store is called DIGITAL WALKER. I got myself the biggest - cost me mga P4500k. But you better hurry or wait for Jan - they are running out of stocks.

Or Greenhills, VMall. There's also a branch there.

Mall Of Asia too, thats where i got my $6mil

Thank you very much for all your replies. I'll go to Digital Walker Park Sq. 1 after office, see what's right for my budget.

Btw, do you store your cameras in these bags for long periods? I mean the bag is their permanent home? If yes, then I should buy myself a heavy-duty/waterproof and not cheapo bag. I'm afraid my camera (especially the lens) might get fungus from the cheap brands (a paranoid newbie). =)

thanks sir nel, but i'll try my luck if there is really a 10% off on digital walker,,:)

I got a crumpler customary barge 4 months ago. I seldom used it because it's too bulky and can fit only so much gear. I am disposing of this bag soon. Bought it for AU$200.00

If you want discounts at digital walker, be a member of Philmug (the e-groups for Mac users). Philmug members have a 10% discount on selected items.

crumplers are great bags specially if you dont want your bag to scream "PHOTOBAG" just get all your gear together and check which bag will suit your need the most cheers!

thanks nino.

where exactly is the branch in VMALL? landmarks pls, on my way there

when you enter vmall go to the end of the building ( right before the exit to the church ) proceed to the third floor,, enter the left alley ( left when you enter vmall from jollibee ) you will find digital walker there,, btw if you want to avail their 10% discount just bring cash and register to podcentral,, they are giving podcentral member discounts on crumpler bags,, but they have no 7mil bags today,, their 6mil stocks are red and blue (went there today,, they even called market market if they have the 7mil,, no stocks also),,

happy holidays
:D

Uh well...BECAUSE THEY CAN.

:D

Where's Astroplus in Podium and which Crumpler bag are you guys looking for? I could probably check for you guys. :)

hi guys!! :)

i am interested in ordering this bag online (Ripper Tripper) i haven't seen this bag anywhere.. though the only digital walker i checked is the one at mall of asia. hmmm..

did anybody order a crumpler bag online.. just wondering.. :) any violent reactions?

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all~

@ louie.. do you just work near podium? hmm.. was just wondering, if you passby only ah.. can you check with them where the biggest store of crumpler bags are.. when i went to mall of asia.. their camera bags were so limited.. do they also accept orders?
THANKS in advance.. :)

@Princess: I work in a shop at The Podium. :Grin: Okay, will ask! What do you mean by orders by the way?

staff of digital walker at Vmall told me they have the most variety of crumpler bags,, hmmm..

Thank you very much for all your replies. I'll go to Digital Walker Park Sq. 1 after office, see what's right for my budget.

Btw, do you store your cameras in these bags for long periods? I mean the bag is their permanent home? If yes, then I should buy myself a heavy-duty/waterproof and not cheapo bag. I'm afraid my camera (especially the lens) might get fungus from the cheap brands (a paranoid newbie). =)

sir i have stored my camera in in a 5m home ever since i have gotten the bag and my lowepro nova aw just wrapped in plastic for storage somewhere in the house. It have not used any bag ever since, but i clean my camera and the bag whenever i can. dust and other what-have-yous will still get into the bag since it does not have a proper cover, just a good flap with extended overlaps. i think any bag would still be susceptible to moisture no matter how sealed it is. i store some small dessicants in the bag but it i think it does not really matter that much compared to a dry cabinet. If you will be storing your camera for a long time, like i do with a lens and an old camera, try using a good plastic airtight container ( about 150 pesos or more, depending on the brand, ie. tupperware)
and tape some dessicant in the inside wall, and keep it away from sunlight. If you bought the bag, clean it often; turn it upside down and use a vacuum cleaner if you have one. if you really want the crumpler bag but doubt its weatherproofing capability, add a gallon-sized ziploc bag, ducttape its side and bottom, tape a small dessicant in the inside and keep it in your bag for your camera just in case you're caught in a sudden torrential downpour, sandstorm or a sinking boat.

for fungus, if molds started appearing in your lenses, have them cleaned because it you have a lot of them, they'll be much harder to remove and may take out the lens coatings with them.

"I'm afraid my camera (especially the lens) might get fungus from the cheap brands (a paranoid newbie). =)"

sir, if you use your camera regularly, fungus won't be a problem/form in the first place..

Oops sorry if I sounded arrogant and I wasn't name dropping.

ANYWAY

I had the same reaction and well the one in Serendra is purely Crumpler. Digital Walker can put up another store because they can afford it and because they can cater to the future customers of Bonifacio high street.

np,,actually you don't have to apologize,, that's one of the common prob in forum,, misunderstanding,,

cheers, merry christmas:D

btw,, i bought a tamrac velocity 9,, out of stock palagi ang 7mil eh ( and i think it's a good bag )

staff of digital walker at Vmall told me they have the most variety of crumpler bags,, hmmm..

Since Digital Walker has a number of branches, I usually call and ask if they have a bag I'm looking for and which branch they have it in. Saves time and gas... :Grin:

do they also accept orders?
:)

Bad experience with Digital Walker recently... a friend was looking for a particular bag and bucket. They had both available but in different branches so asked if could be picked up in 1 store instead. They checked the warehouse and there was stock of the bag so the branch (where the bucket was available) place an order so my friend can get both bag and bucket together. Guess what? after 2 or 3 weeks of following-up, my friend got tired of following-up if ready for pick-up so got another bag instead. And this is for a bag that was in stock in their warehouse... :Angry:

got my 7mill dark brown whew yesterday!

went to MOA yesterday, but they were out of 7mills, only red 6mill. the staff was kind enough to call the other branches to ask if they still had 7mill brown or black in stock. after a half an hour wait they found one in dig. hub in robinsons ermita, so I had it reserved and i picked it up shortly after.

now i have a new outdoor bag, thanks guys!

i'm looking for browns:Mad: but thanks for the info

I have gone through couple of crumpler bags and still have 2 of them, though they look nice and don't look like your regular camera or computer bags, they are also not as well padded (or at least padded in the wrong place) as camera or computer specific bags.

My laptop got a crack, because the area on the corners are only lightly padded. On my crumpler 7mil bag, the top part has no padding, so anything dropping on top of it, may damage your equipment.

I still prefer my Lowepro backpack for a more secure bag and with my computer bag, I had no choice but to buy a padded sleeve before putting the computer in the bag.

just read from another forum that the store in serendra (newly opened store that only sells crumpler bags ) is having a 10% discount for credit card, and 15% discount on cash,, only for this weekend

I was in Serendra last weekend and the Crumpler Store there has the Brazilian $ Home.. around P12K. They also have the 7 Million $ Home in several colors (Black, Olive Green, Blue)....

it's 12500. i was there also sunday.

update: they offer 15% discount on all items I think, all cash basis for now as they dont have telephone lines yet.

:)

hi guys, im thinking of getting a crumpler for my laptop, i'm currently using the timberland messenger bag type but i don't like the loops by the strap endings (sides of the bag), they get folded by the ends of the loops.

i would like the messenger type pa rin, what's ur recommendation for this? laptop is a 14" wide type. :)

cheers!

otep - just visit any digital walker store and I am sure you can find something that you will like!

have one too (whickey & Cox) and can fit most of my gear. the only thing i dont like about that bag is that it gets dirty faster compared to my lowepros:(

is it the structure where krispy kreme stands?

how much is the 6m$ home?
do you think my d80+grip+kitlens with hood + sb800+ another short lens fit inside?

Yes, Jadran, that's the place. The store is right in front of Krispy Kreme.

Hey thanks Levi. The thing I like about it is the removable shell inside so I can convert it to a travel bag. It makes it more versatile since am also planning to use it to transport my mobile studio gear :)

I have 3 crumpler bags. 1 for my laptop, 1 if I want to travel light with my camera, 1 photo backpack for laptop and camera.

I guess that means I like crumpler bags!

guys,, is it true that it is more expensive to buy crumpler bags at the serendra store? digital walker gives 10% discount to podcentral members ( and you have to pay in cash ) while i think the serendra store offers 15% discount...

yup,i think it is more expensive to buy crumpler bags at the serendra, their 6million dollar home costs 4200 (that's with discount already, read that somewhere) but in digitalhub in robinsons manila, 4250 regular price :)

I got a Crumpler 6 mil (dark brown/light olive) in Astro Plus, 4th level Podium at P4250 cash/card price.:Grin:

anyone here going to the grand opening of the store on Mar 22?

Planning in getting either the Bazillion Dollar or the 7Million $ home and put up my 6Million$ home for sale. to help defray the cost. Ijust wish Crumpler bags have more top protection as it is virtually unpadded on top and also a better seal/zip cover will prevent debris from going into the bag from the side of the top flaps. :)

hi!

i'm planning on getting a home for my camera. :) would the 4 million dollar home be a good fit for a nikon D50? i don't want to lug around a big gear bag. just want something small and casual so i can easily get around :) would appreciate any comments ;)

Hi Gio:

Welcome to DPP!

The 4M$ home would fit your Nikon D50 ALONE (kit lens attached to the body) and no other accessories whatsoever. You might want to check out the 5M$ home, which is slightly larger.

@Gio,

The 4M Dollar Home will definitely be a good choice for you as Carlo mentioned. I bought one myself a couple of months back for my D70s and 18-200 VR. I'm also able to squeeze in my SB-800 in there together with my cam and lens attached. The divider also helps a lot keeping my gear scratch-free. Really great during days when you have no plans to lug around all your gear.

great! thanks for the input(s) :)
hopefully i can get it soon. just gonna use it for casual photography anyway. maybe in the future when i upgrade my gear then i'll go for the big bags haha.

i just got my Crumpler 7 million dollar Home.....whew!...sumobrang luwag pa yata!...hahhahaha!.... i need more "L's" to put in now....hahahhaha

i just got my Crumpler 7 million dollar Home.....whew!...sumobrang luwag pa yata!...hahhahaha!.... i need more "L's" to put in now....hahahhaha

Congrats on the new bag! Dangerous trend of thought... you might end up needing the Brazillion Dollar Home!!! :Grin:

I agree with you re: top protection. The older model line of Crumpler had better top protection. :)

just want to ask if the $4M home would fit the D70s with kit lens attach.
thanks

has anyone come across the crumpler nikon "that" in local stores?

just want to ask if the $4M home would fit the D70s with kit lens attach.
thanks

well based on their website, it would fit the D70 (with kit lens, + another lens or flash)

on another note...looks like i didn't go for the D50...just got the D40. still a good camera..and my issue with the size isn't really much of a bother. :D

anyway, would just like to ask for comments if it would do good in a 4mil home or a 5mil home?

you might want to visit the crumpler store in the fort or any of the digital walker branches (they're loaded with crumpler bags and others) with your camera to try them out with your camera.

that's what i did. right after i bought my camera, i went straight to digital walker at parksquare (love their service) and bought a bag and screen protector. brought my camera and tried out all sorts of bags :)

sakto lang the D40 for the 4mil home if it's just the body w/ kit lens attached + either a flash or extra lens :)

plus you can bring small things like extra batteries, cables etc

I've got a The Whickey & Cox for when I bring my camera stuff and my MBP C2D.

A photo of mine won 2nd place at a photo contest during the recent Crumpler Store launch at Bonifacio High Street (the winning photos are displayed in the store). I got to win a 10th Anniversary Same Old Shit. They say only 1000 of these were made. And, I got lucky #377 (3+7+7=17; 1+7=8)! :)

wow congrats! what shot won the contest? :)

The 1st prize winner got a Brazillion Dollar Home, which she promptly sold for only P9.6T. The winner later stated that she had to share the winnings with her sister, who took the pics. Her entry was a pic of herself in 4 poses with the Crumpler logo and some aboriginal art drawn all over her hands and arms. It was a cute pic indeed... :)

Here's a link (http://www.philmug.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=20568&page=8&highlight=crumpler+party) to the pic of the winning entry...

terence - could you explain to me how you squeeze in the camera and flash? i have the same set up and cant seem to make it fit. Do you remove the lens from the body?

that does sound tight, try out the 5 or 6 million dollar home. you'll have space for batteries and charger pa (including body with lens, extra lens and flash

@Miguel_Vecin: maybe you have to adjust + bend the divider a bit to get them to fit?

Ive tried several ways - to no avail. If I remove the lens then it will fit but its too much of a hassle

@Miguel_Vecin: maybe you have to adjust + bend the divider a bit to get them to fit?

Sorry if my reply's coming in late. I was out of town the last three days.

Anyway, here's how I do it. Fold your SB-800 to its 90 deg position and slip it down one side of the bag head down, with the lcd side against the inner side wall of the 4M. Adjust the divider with the flap side up so it keeps the flash from moving around. Fold the flap so it covers the the flash's contacts. You've now created a space for your D70s and 18-200 on one side of the bag. Simply slip your cam+lens combo (with hood installed in reverse position) lens down as if you're using a holster type bag. You'll find you even have some space left for your stock diffuser dome just beside the grip part of your cam body and right over the flap.

On my last trip, I was able to fit my D70s+18-200, SB-800, a CPL with its case, stock diffuser dome, 4 AA batts in a key holder type container, extra CF card, mini lenspen, a small microfiber towel, and Brian Lim's White Balance Cap all in the 4M Dollar Home. Makes one tidy, little package.

HTH

Thanks a lot Terence...Ill try this later when...thanks again

Terence - it works but kinda tight :)

I ended up getting a bigger bag. Thanks

Hi guys!
I'm a big Crumpler user too.
I have 2 laptop bags (McBain's Baby & Breakfast Buffet), 1 pouch for my P&S (John Thursday), and an all-around gadget bag as well (The Son-O).

I bought a $4M Home before to fit a D40 w/ 18-200VR and SB-400.
Then I started lugging around a Sigma 10-20mm, and somehow I was able to fit it all in the bag.
Finally, I decided to dump the SB-400 in favor of a full sized SB-800, which needed a lot more space.
So now I replaced my bag with a Crumpler $5M Home, and everything fits just right.

Given also that I've grown to like Crumpler so much, I also got a larger $7M Home to fit my D80 and all my other lenses and accessories.
I was surprised that I was able to fit all of this stuff into the $7M Home: D80 w/ Nikon 18-200VR, SB-800 w/dome attached, Sigma 2x TC, Nikon 50mm f/1.8D, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 (!?!), 4 spare AA batts, 1 spare EN-EL3e, ML-L3 remote, spare SD card, 3M lens cleaning cloth, and 1 72mm CPL.

Now my 2 cameras have their own Crumplers, and I can just bring whichever I need anytime. :)

was trying to get hold of a brown 7 million dollar home. it is out of stock at all digital walker stores and the crumpler store at the fort. sa july pa daw magkakaroon.:(

yup...same here...but since im so impulsive and I couldnt wait, I ended buying the 7 million dollar home na color red...no regrets thou...

@ Miguel

You were so impulsive that you dropped me off at Ayala so that I could take the MRT back to my studio and then you went off to get your Crumpler :D

he he I know...I know...I admit it.. :)

Okay lang. We still had a great day together (and lunch was fantastic :D).

Exactly...Im going to order one already soon(personalized) you want to make sabay na with me?? :)

would a Nikon D80 with battgrip and kit lens (18-135mm)attached fit inside a $6M Home?

@Gary - definitely. I can fit my D80 with 18-200 plus SB-800 flash in a $4M Home...

Are there $4M Home bags available in the local Crumpler shops? Anyone know how much they retail? Thanks.

Yup :D What design are you putting on your bag?

I'm still trying to decide what to put on mine.

Dont know yet...logo probably :)

Same here - but I'm tempted to put in a few other logos as well :D

@Gary - definitely. I can fit my D80 with 18-200 plus SB-800 flash in a $4M Home...

Thanks Miguel! And by the way, Can you like put the cam inside with a vertical grip attached? The thing is, I don't like the hassle of attaching the lens when I take my camera out of the bag (for walk around shooting). So, a 4M Dollar Home would fit a D80 and a Vr lens attached. How about with a mb-D80 attached?

I dont have a vertical grip..so I wouldnt know. But $4M Home would be tight for the vertical grip. I'd say you would have to go at least $5M or maybe even $6M

Best if you go to their store with all your gear and try it there. Thats what I did the first time I went.

Sorry - didnt see that in your first post you were asking about the D80 with batt grip.

I dont think it will fit unless you remove lens which is a hassle...

I'd vouch for Miguel: He's at Crumpler or Digital Walker every week... :D

I have the 5M dollar home Gary... and it fits... albeit a tight fit. I use it as carry around bag, fits my D80 w/ grip, 18-135 lens, and SB800. :)

And guess who is with me always?? Edwin...ha ha...he was the one who got me hooked to those damn bags,,:Grin:

I'd vouch for Miguel: He's at Crumpler or Digital Walker every week... :D

OT: Edwin, what time will you be in the office on Monday?

And guess who has to get dropped off at the MRT station becaus Miguel has to rush off to the Crumpler store to hook up with Edwin? :D

I see... Do you know how much a 5M Dollar home would cost? Thanks, Peter!

About 3.5K Gary. But the 6M dollar home will be alot more roomier. :)

I saw this when I went to trinoma yesterday - medyo napatalon ako sa saya.. hehe.. naghahanap kasi ng bagong bag, pero di pa pala ata sila completely open.

i think i'll drop by this wednesday and get myself something. :)

I bought a Crumpler Keystone backpack at Astrovision (Podium) yesterday.

Good choice. Thats exactly the one I got also. Prob is if I buy more gear soon it wont fit na :Grin:

Bought a Slightly used Formal Lounge backpack.:) I like this more than the Sinking and Customary Barge backpacks. Its small, but can fit a 15in laptop, a pair of shoes, 5 shirts for the Main compartment. The camera compartment fits my D80 with kit lens and 50 f1.8. It could still fit an external flash and a mid range zoom lens.

Aren't Crumplers made in Australia? I've got relatives coming over in a few weeks so I'm asking them to buy for me if they're cheaper. Anyone wanting to ride on? :)

Saw something about personalized logos in this thread. How does one go about getting that done, please?

@ Winston

I read in a previoius post in another forum that Crumplers actually cost more in Australia than they do here in Manila.

Miguel Vecin and I got to talk to one to one of the owners of the company that distributes Crumplers locally. He said that they could handle the personalization for you.

Cheers!

Thanks, Jo. I can believe that, the Ozzies probably have more VAT/Sales tax than we do. Plus higher overheads, of course.

I'll check out the store anyway to compare prices. Does anyone have the phone no. of Crumpler Philippines? After reading the posts here, I'm starting to crave after the 6 and 7mil. :)

I was just at the Crumpler store in Serendra a couple of hours ago. My wife was amenable to my purchasing another Crumpler. But I just couldn't think of what I would need another Crumpler bag for :D

Sigh ... the wife and the budget are willing, but the purpose is weak :D

Cheers!

Wow I wish im in your shoe. We are actually the opposite, "the purpose is strong but the budget and wife is weak" hahaha:D

Jo, you can sell your used 6mil to me so you can buy a new one. hwekhwekhwek.

@ Winston

I don't own a 6mil. What I have is a Brazillion Dollar Home :D

But I might get a smaller Crumpler camera bag for my Lomo and Pinhole cameras :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Winston, how about a 5 million dollar home? :) ive got a red one haha

would a Nikon D80 with battgrip and kit lens (18-135mm)attached fit inside a $6M Home?

I have a 6mil and I can easily fit the D2H and lens in the center portion, a large 80-200 F2.8 lens on one side, another medium size lens and flash on the other side.

Despite having their origins in Australia, the bags are now actually made in China. You can check-out the "Made in China" tag inside your bags. :)

sir manu, how much is it now? thanks!:)

I should not have opened this thread... I was at the Bonifacio High St. yesterday, and started to look at the brazillion dollar home. Reading this thread made me obssessed more about it... I have a Lowepro minitrekker. Its ok, pero di sya cute like the brazillion. Hehehehe

Got a Wickey & Cox from the Crumpler Store at BHS earlier this week. It replaced my old Base Toucher, now that I need to carry both my camera and my laptop. As expected the bag is really padded, and looks sturdier than anything out there, BUT its also quite heavy.

It has two compartments, one for the laptop, and a detachable "basket" of sorts that has rearrangeable velcro and foam compartments, great for customizing depending on the size of your lens. You can also stuff miscellaneous nick knacks, plugs and whatnots.

My only complaint is there's no space to stash my papers and a notebook.

Have the red 7 million dollar home which I got from Singapore about two months ago. Saved about PhP1K by getting it from there. Very :):) with it and now contemplating of getting the Wickey and Cox so I do not have to carry a separate case for my laptop.
