"Hi Michael, I met you at the NYC photography show, and purchased the Everglades Bag. The first thing my husband did was raise his eyebrows and say, "another bag?" The reason I purchased this bag from you is that I never seem to find the right size. When I came to the show I was looking for a bag on the small size that I can have packed and ready to go at a moment's notice for small photography jobs rather than hauling around my big bags. I was worried that with the square-ish shape of the Everglade bag that the strap might constantly slip off my shoulder. This is probably something most guys never give a second thought because they have broader shoulders. The first night I used the bag it was pouring with rain so I decided to not use my trolley wheels and to run for it carrying the Everglade and some other bags, and the strap stayed right in place.

I'm amazed at all it holds for a bag this small! In the bag I currently have 2 cameras with lenses attached. One is a Canon body with a Canon 24-70 mm, the other is a Canon body with a Canon wide angle lens, separately I have a Canon 70-200 mm, a fisheye, a Canon 50 mm, and 3 Canon flashes. Everything can easily be reached and pulled out. In addition to that I have two camera battery chargers, a AA battery charger, 3 spare camera batteries, 24 spare AA's, 20 Compact Flash Cards, a Belly Bag, 2 plastic camera raincovers, In the outside pockets I have business cards, writing pens, and reading glasses. I can even fit my MacBook Pro Laptop in the computer compartment, but it's too large to close the zipper across the top. And- there is still room for more things.

The bag materials are topnotch as are the zippers, and all the customizable dividers stick well, yet you don't have to fight to pull them off like on some bags. I like the fact that the inside of the bag is a light gray rather than black on black so I can see to find items better in a dark environment. You must have a woman on your design team who can never find things in her purse. Tell her thanks.

The photo show as you know is overwhelming, and there were many, many other companies selling bags. You by far had the fairest price, and some of the highest quality. I can't imagine how exhausted you had to be by day 3. I hope you survived.

Thanks so much, I know I will use this bag until either it, or I wear out. Marleen C.- CT, USA"

"Attention: Camera Bags Design Department, On October 2, 2007, we purchased our Nikon D80 SLR Camera, camera equipment and M-ROCK # 518 Everglades camera bag from High Point Photo Supply, Inc in High Point, North Carolina. Terry Still was our knowledgeable sales representative.

On November 20, 2007, while we were driving on Highway 158 on our way to an outdoor photo shoot location, we were heavily rear-ended; sending our vehicle off-road, down an embankment, which we then hit nose down and flipped; totaling our vehicle. Amazingly we survived! The accident tossed our M-ROCK bag with equipment, through the cab of our vehicle. Once composed from the accident, we retrieved our M-ROCK bag in fear of the damage we would discover. Amazingly, every component was intact! We even took photos of our vehicle at the accident site.

We know for a fact. If it were not for the quality design of your camera bag, our equipment would have been destroyed. Your product is of high regard and will always be recommended by us. We thank you immensely, for providing a quality product.

Your valued customers,, Henry J. Braud"

"Dear Mr Rockwell, First, I would like to take this opportunity to say it was a pleasure to meet you on the first day of the PDN Photo Expo. It was a pleasure to talk with you and to do business.

The second reason I am writing is about the bag I purchased from you at the show. I believe by looking at your catalog it was the Everglade 518. Purchasing a new camera bag that would take two cameras, lenses, flashes, etc. was a chore at the expo to say the least. It was one of my targeted purchases, and believe me i was to every bag manufacturer at least once during that day. Either they did not have exactly what I was looking for or the prices were outlandish. your bag met my needs and that is why I decided to purchase it. I was not quite sure that everything would fit until I got home, and sure enough not only did everything fit, but had a little more room for some extras I never had the space to carry with me, but wanted to.

I also like that I can buy the lens bags that can attach to the sides and will be doing so soon.

Again thank you for the opportunity of meeting you and the chance to become acquainted with your products."

"After reading your testimonials on the internet I decided to give you a try and researched your excellent site and decided that the Everglades bag would accommodate my D70 and an extra 70-300 lens. If it didn't work for me I could return it. After receiving it, what a joy, your testimonials were real, your site was most informative and I made a great decision, thank you for a great product. "

"After checking your web site I talked with you on the phone to get advice about an appropriate camera bag for my Nikon D70s. I took your advice and ordered the Everglade. I was surprised how quickly I received it but even more surprised by the excellent quality of the design and bag.I will be more than pleased to recommend it highly to my friends. Many thanks!"
