The reviewer says the four dividers limit configuration options and do not adequately support a camera carried with a mounted lens. The reviewer calls the bottom tripod straps very handy, because they can secure a tripod beneath the bag. Inside the camera compartment, four Velcro-attached dividers can be configured or removed as needed, while soft lining protects equipment.
A permanent fabric divider separates the main bag from a smaller section sized for a laptop or iPad. The reviewer describes the Snoop as comfortable because its wide shoulder straps and balanced body rest easily against front, back, or side.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer reports that the Timbuk2 Snoop Camera Messenger Bag uses tough-as-nails ballistic nylon and the company’s reliable buckles.
- The front flap reveals three zippered pockets, including a key tether and a see-through vinyl window, plus a hidden deep napoleon pocket.
- The reviewer calls the bottom tripod straps very handy, because they can secure a tripod beneath the bag.
Reported trade-offs
- With a Nikon D90 body, two lenses, and a flash, the reviewer found the small bag essentially full, leaving room only for small items.
- The reviewer says the four dividers limit configuration options and do not adequately support a camera carried with a mounted lens.
- The reviewer reports that the permanent rear-wall compartment lacks padding and would require a protective case or sleeve before carrying an iPad.
