I know there ar loads of thread like this so apoligies but I need a good rucksack camera bag. Is this one any good?

Does is hold alot?

Good build quality?

Worth £20 of Ebay?

Thanks
Matt
 
£20 for the minitrekker isn't a bad price at all, especially if its the AW one.

The AWII is the newest, so different design.

Still, a very good bag :thumbs: Can't go wrong for 20 quid.
 
Matt,

I think I've got a brand new (still tagged) mini-trekker in the loft....I'll hunt it down tomorrow and drop you a PM.

I struggle to get a d70 or a fuji s2 body into the minitrekker aw with a battery grip on, it just seems to be busting at the zip...but fine without the battery grips.

Agree with this - from what I remember, the bag was quite shallow.

Very good value for money bag IMHO. Is not massively comfortable, nor does it have oodles of padding for the equipment but considering its size, does hold a fair bit.

Hope this helps, Matt :)
 
Excellent bag - I used to have a Slingshot 300 which I found really uncomfortable.

I bought mine used here (thanks Chouglez) and its fab - it holds a D700 with Pro lens attached, a D60 with Pro lens attached, plus 3 other fast f/2.8 lenses no problem.

I find it superb, while I can't carry all my kit.. when I travel I don't generally need the kitchen sink.
 
I have the mini-trekker bag, I was suffering on my holiday in Wales with my slingshot 200, i needed everything more balanced either side, as my back wasn't able to carry my 450D +bg, and my two lenses without me leaning forward and hurting my back

The mini-trekker is great

Now isnt that a surprise......NOT!

Ive just got mine replaced by Lowepro for that reason, back ache for a day/two after a days shooting, AND i'm not the only one.

Its my opinion that LP designed the Fastpack for this reason, I think the SS will be discontinued shortly once the FP gets an AW cover.

Ive replaced it with a MT-AW but havent used it yet, so everyone keep singing its praises

I dont have a battery grip or the money to get one in the next few months so no worries there ;)
