Chrome Niko Camera Pack - Black Review

For some reason this is listed over $300 but you can get it directly from the Chrome website for $180.

Keeping with the "company loyalty" stigma, when this product was introduced I was very keen on getting one. I have a Chrome messenger bag as well... though they are trendy in certain cities I do like them. This bag was something I had been looking for for some time, and I finally got mine today.

It is very well made. The fabric, straps, zippers are all very well made and the "case" is just enough not to be flimsy polyester material, but not quite hard enough to be considered "hard shell" so it is that nice in between where you will feel as though your equipment is safe inside, but not feel as though you are carrying around a bulky briefcase.

The top compartment is a really nice touch. You can keep a notebook (one that you use a pen and paper) here, maybe your light meter, snacks, anything that you want to grab easily and the section is pretty big too. My old 35mm camera actually fits in here with a couple lenses. There is also a "pocket" that will go all the way down on the inside of the back of the pack. Kind of a weird area, as I am not sure what you could place here but maybe it was designed for a notebook (one with an apple logo on it).

There seem to be an excess of straps, but I now realize that they are there because you can also use the pack as a quick-grab pack. Meaning, on both sides, there is an area that the zipper continues to zip around; you can place certain items in your pack to be easily grabbed from the sides. Otherwise, everything is accessible by removing all the straps and opening the bag fully... this is obviously when you are not on the go, whereas the other function is probably designed for speed and efficiency.

My two criticisms are that it actually seems a tad to small. My digital SLR has a battery grip which definitely adds significant bulk to the pack. It still fits, but it will take a lot of finagling to figure out the best way to situate your stuff. That ties into my other criticism, that the velcro "sectional" pieces are limited as far as what you can do with compartmentalizing your camera equipment. I did a lot of doing and undoing until I finally found a setup I liked - the easy grab on the side combined with just a few options for setting up different sections inside was quite a chore. Maybe that's part of the fun, but because I also have a bulkier camera, it added to the problem. If you don't use a camera grip then things will be a lot easier.

Another note on the size, I was able to fit in a polaroid and my 35mm in the pack as well. Given that I can carry 3+ cameras (and a flash and light meter) the size really isn't "small" but I do wish there was a little more thought put into creating better sections within the bag. Extremely comfortable on the back, so I think this is an overall great buy.
