FS Shootsac and covers

[Cindy Flood]

My friend sent me her Shootsac and three unopened covers. The Shootsac is gently used; covers are brand new sealed in plastic. I already have a Shootsac for my D300 kit, so I'm selling this one.

Can be seen here: http://www.shootsac.com/

Shootsac: $140
Brazen cover: $40
Gold Strike cover: $60
Thankful cover: $40

Shipped to you in US. Money Order preferred.

Hey Cindy,

A little bit OT - I am also using a Shootsac and really like it. What are you carrying around with you for the D300? I'm still sorting out my D300 kit. I also use it for my M8 kit.

 

[Cindy Flood]

You had to ask...:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

I have 18-70 with 70-300 VR (great, el-cheapo lenses) for a lightweight kit.
I have 17-35 f/2.8, 28-70 f/2.8, 105 VR, 180 f/2.8, 300 f/4 for serious work (along with 1.4x and 1.7x extenders).
I still have my M8 kit and an MP. I need a mule instead of a Shootsac!

It sounds like our kits are going to be very similar....
compact and light
18-200 (or keep 16-85 + 70-300 combo), 50 f1.8
fast, heavy, big
24-70, 105 (haven't bought lens yet)

no matter what I do on compact light I will keep 70-300

Anyone tried a D3 or 1 series Canon in this sucker? It's does appear to be one of the few bags (for SLRs vs. RFs) that I've seen that doesn't scream 'camera bag'

 

[Cindy Flood]

Rob,
It is not a camera bag per se. It holds up to 6 lenses and flashes, batteries, memory cards, etc. It is made of neoprene and folds up flat. It was invented originally by a wedding photographer, but works equally well while walking around the city or shooting an event. It was not designed to replace a camera bag.

The Shootsac is SOLD! Thanks.

Thanks Cindy, realize it isn't a proper bag as it were, but neat idea.

Was just curious as to how it would hold up with such a heavy and large body in it.

Thinking of using it walking around with one body and maybe 1-2 shorter lenses. Just something to keep the camera more discrete while offering a extra layer of protection from dust (though neoprene tends to trap it), moisture, etc.

The website wasn't clear on if it was reinforced or even suitable for such a large/heavy body.

Congrats on sale.

if anyone is pining for another, i've got a brand new one, black, I'm not using and will sell for the same price as Cindy did

I saw a WTB on FM for a Shootsac today. You might want to contact her.

It will hold 6 lenses including (according to Jessica Claire) the 70-200 f/2.8 zoom. I have put the "beast" 28-70 f/2.8 in mine with no trouble.
BTW, if anyone is looking for covers, I still have some for sale.

It isn't a bag in the way you think. It looks like a messenger bag but there is stitching that runs vertically that essentially separates the bag into 6 sections (3 on each side). A lens (or 2 back to back for teeny M8 lenses) fits into each of the six sections. Trying to put a big camera in it probably won't work. I don't find it easy to try and shove an M8 in any of the slots. It is really used when you are out shooting and have your camera out. I have lenses in the slots and use one for my wallet and phone.

Ah, suspected as such. Thank you.
