MAYBEN Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm looking at possibly getting one of these, and I realize they are completely different. I really like the Copper River Leather bag, but is it too fancy for when wearing shorts and a tshirt? Lol They both hold the laptop and a DSLR, and they're both made in the good ole United States of America.. Do any of you have one of these?

Jonothon Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Copper River bag. It's definitely not corporate, and it can be detailed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Wow that first bag is sweeet! For 129 bucks I might pick one up, never herd of them before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I like the burgundy leather, really sharp.. Its $139 for the 15" laptop version, but I'm not sure what the camera version costs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I like the first bag but the strap on it looks like it belongs on the second bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I like the first bag but the strap on it looks like it belongs on the second bag. They should put a full leather strap on that bag, even if it raises the price $10. Edit: In looking at their website, it appears the bags have full leather straps. Look much better IMO.

MAYBEN Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 For the burgundy and brown, they have the leather accent that comes with it, which isn't bad, and then the do have the full leather.. But, is it too dressy for a tshirt and shorts or jeans? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Neither one. I have always like the Lowe Pro Stealth Reporter series. They are a nice durable bag and have a rain fly built right into the bag so that if your caught in the rain/weather your gear and bag doesn't get ruined. Just something to think about. lowepro stealth reporter | B&H Photo Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I saw that bag too.. $185.. Nice bag, iirc foreign made.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I saw that bag too.. $185.. Nice bag, iirc foreign made.. Yeah, that is the unfortunate part. But unfortunately that is the way it goes with a lot of products now days. The rain fly cover is something I really like and can come in handy. I honestly can't find where they are made. Tried looking on my bag and briefly on the internet. Edited July 22, 2012 by LFairbanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 That was one of the things I thought was cool about it.. I'm not too worried about being in the rain with it, I drive where I need to go usually.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We have a LowePro SlingShot 200AW bag for the camera. Love this bag and the built-in rain fly. Can wear it a couple different ways and it is great on hikes (which we love to do). Have worn this bag fully loaded for miles on some pretty tough hikes and have found it to be durable, protective to the camera gear and also a comfortable bag (toughest hike was the hike to Hanakapiai falls in Kauai, much of it on wet and slippery trails and rocks). The slingshot/rotating feature of the bag is very cool, makes it so easy to retrieve the camera, lens, battery, memory card, etc without having to take the bag off. Can do all that while continuing to walk or having to set the bag down on the ground. Would love to have one of these Copper River bags for the computer though.

DaveVY Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 But, is it too dressy for a tshirt and shorts or jeans? Lol That all depends on the t-shirt and the shoes you are wearing! This bag has a great masculine look to it, nothing soft about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 When I saw this post it reminded me of a post from a while back, but when I found the post it was just for a strap, not a bag. Anyway here is that post for photogs that may have not seen it - http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/lounge/12330.htm. P.S. Hope Jim(Nordgrey) is still doing well in his recovery.

DaveVY Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Do the rougher, less polished look, of the Serengeti color. IMO if you have a "polished" bag it might not go as well with shorts and t-shirt. Rustic and masculine all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBEN Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 leather swatch samples are being sent out tomorrow so I can confirm the color that I want.. I am leaning towards the burgundy, however, that may change when I see it in person.. I may have to use LIC as the leather may have some residual oils from the tanning process..

Mongosg8 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nick Im looking at the Copper River Brown Camera bag myself. My friend has the 17" Lap Top bag and loves it. He is the one that turned me onto it the camera bag. For the price I might just go with a 17" Laptop bag undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm debating on the size right now, I was talking with CRB yesterday and the woman recommended the 14" since I have a 15" rMBP.. that way I can have the insert in, and between the insert and bag wall is an 'additional' pocket for the laptop to be secure versus sliding around and whatnot..

Mongosg8 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He actually has the 15" not the 17" I might go that route myself this way I have the best of both worlds. Camera bag is important but being able to have and carry both is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
