As small and cheap. Mainly cheap! That was my approach (for an ordinary Ruck Sack to accommodate all kinds of equipment, I had already).
But my think something was wrong, and the path to it should be my advice, for those who do not have a 80-Euro clippers, but higher value.
After I had Googled several hours, ransacked several days, Amazon for all sorts of pockets and purses and lack of product details (size dimensions) and also Ebay pulled offers advice, I realized that I would be with my project "cheap" rather dissatisfied.
Sensible camera bags for under 20 euros there as not so good! If one weighs all causalities on what you want to accommodate, or how something should be structured the inner workings of the pocket, then you will be for "below price" definitely not be happy.
And at some point you sit there, but will finally buy a small DSLR pocket and think: What is really the nonsense? Have an camera, lenses and accessories worth more than 1,000 euros and reckon here 8-19 Euro bags.
That's where I found the point of lay between costs and benefits. An expensive equipment squeezes not in a cheap bag as possible in and stuffs probably nor any trifle added.
I have now times but decided to want a lens with enclose and to take the further drawers and storage possibilities into account. Ergo: to get the smallest possible bag out of the projects, this larger version, it has become a "AmazonBasics" after all.
And I habs not regret it!
Even with little excursions where the backpack stays at home, I take more and more when I actually thought to want to take. Strictly speaking, this relatively "large" small pocket is hardly sufficient to be prepared for all possible situations.
If I had actually a neck pouch concerned, I would have annoyed me on short trips and trips, such and such would not be able to take.
- Just enough space for camera with attached lens + 1 lens.
- Thanks to several side pockets ample storage for items such as cleaning cloth, brush, battery, memory card
- As space for supposedly unimportant as handkerchief, "ne 'pack of gum," ... even a small bottle of water
Very good workmanship. Very good closure system. The lid is quasi double sealed. That's for a quick handling Although cumbersome, but ...: space, comfort and above all safe store of expensive content that goes for me to clearly (!). Meanwhile, I know that to appreciate.
I do not want to remember to have some buy something for a "tens". It would have been one of those purchases where I could have just as well burn the supposedly little money.
Ultimately, I have a few more euros spent as I wanted, but it was the right decision.
