Color: Dark Shadow Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
The TCDM-101 oozes quality from the moment you unwrap it. Materials, design, workmanship, everything is top-notch.
The bag consists of two parts: a ballistic nylon messenger bag with built-in padded compartments for laptop and tablet(s), and a photo equipment insert.
The top of the bag features a zipper which allows quick access to the inside without undoing the flap snaps. The photo compartment can hold a fairly wide combination of bodies, lenses and flash. I have uploaded a few pictures to try and illustrate the layout of this incredible bag.
The TCDM-101 weighs just under 4 lbs -- useful to know if you use it as your carry-on as some airlines are fond of enforcing weight restrictions.
The only thing I'm confused about with this bag is the shoulder strap. There is very elaborate shoulder padding, but it is attached to one side of the strap and only one size can be adjusted, so unless you keep the strap at its shortest, the shoulder pad ends up in your back, not on top of your shoulder where it belongs. Other than that, the bag is amazing, and can carry a considerable amount of equipment safely even in demanding weather conditions. I particularly like the computer and tablet compartments. An expensive bag, but well worth it for its capacity, protection and craftsmanship. Recommended.

Color: Dark Shadow Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I wish I could upload a photo to show the removable camera portion, but since Amazon seems to have disabled this, I will try to describe it as best as possible. I did notice if you click on the images then one shows up of the insert, it is the second to last image.

The camera storage is an oblong top zippered , padded separate storage unit. It is roughly 17 inches long by 6 inches wide across the top by 10 inches deep. Inside are six fairly stiff teal colored dividers with Velcro along the sides so that you may adjust the spacing within. Two are tall, two medium and two short. These are excellent for separating your DSLR from lenses and flash. It has two stretchy mesh pockets on the front for smaller less breakable objects. The top has a sewn on handle, so you can carry it by itself.

This fits into the front of the main messenger bag. Inside the messenger back is a divider which is 17 inches wide for you to insert a laptop. The divider itself has two full height lightly padded pockets for smaller tablets or thin objects.

The bag has a hidden zipper under the top so that you can access the contents with the flap still snapped shut.

The front has a 14 inch long zipper opening by about 8 inches deep. Inside that pocket are two pockets sewn to the back and a clip on a short piece of ribbon. The front of that zippered pocket has two Velcro closure pockets each about 9 inches deep and 6 inches wide at the bottom (they narrow as they go down).

The flap itself is also a pocket, but with just one strip of Velcro to close it. It also has another large zippered pocket ON it which is 17 inch zipper by about 9 inch deep pocket.

My favorite camera bag. It's so flexible. Just search youtube for their demo video and you'll see what I mean. It's especially nice when I travel in a foreign city and want to be as discreet as possible. It is a pretty big bag, though. So go to a store and check it out before you buy. They have smaller bags if you don't need something this big.

Great build quality. This bag is HUGE. It carries everything I need for a shoot and then some. I can also remove the camera compartment and use it as a everyday messenger bag. Padded pocket for your computer is integrated within the bag itself, so removal of the camera compartment doesn't affect this feature. The only disadvantage I can find is, I tend to overload it and it becomes very heavy. But thats on me not on the designer.

Color: Dark Shadow Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Thule is known for its stylish and well-made bags, and the TCDM-101 adds to the reputation. Aesthetically, it looks fantastic, with handsome lines and classy style. It looks sharp and you can see why Apple stocks Thule products in its Apple Stores -- the style fits with the company's image.

Functionally, the bag has a lot going on. The most unique feature is the removable storage compartment. This is an atypical feature for a DSLR bag and quite useful for maximizing packing for long trips. It's convenient to take out the storage compartment, fill it up, and put it back into the bag. The EVA padding throughout the bag is great and protects your gear nicely. It's a relatively large bag that allows you to fit a lot of gear and keep it protected with nice EVA padding.

The TCDM-101 also has a laptop compartment. It accepted my 15-inch MacBook Pro perfectly and can accommodate smaller laptops as well.

Although the bag has many things going for it, there are a few factors that prevented it from getting five-star status in my eyes. First is price; you're paying a little extra for the Thule brand and style. Functionally, there are several CaseLogic bags that can hold and protect as much gear at a lower price.

Functionally, the bag can feel very uncomfortable and unbalanced when holding a large amount of gear. When I had a full load of gear and a MacBook in the bag, as well as a tripod strapped onto it, the bag felt cumbersome and it was difficult to get even weight distribution. If you're the type of shooter that carries a lot of gear and comfort is a prime concern then you're better off with a DSLR backpack since the weight distribution is inherently better.
