"I live in Perth, Western Australia and have a Nikon D90 (previously a D80) with a 18mm-200mm zoom and have been searching for a compact bag for ages. It seems that the retailers here in Australia support the big manufacturers such as Lowepro, Tamrac and Crumpler etc. and therefore all offer a similar product range.

I have looked at the range offered by Lowepro, Tamrac (I have 2 Tamrac bags) and Crumpler but none make a small compact bag that just holds the camera with the grip up, a cradle supporting the lens and pockets for a few small things such as a spare SD card and battery. M-Rock do and it’s a great bag for when you just want to carry the camera safely when you are sightseeing for the day and don’t want to carry a big bag full of “stuff”.

I simply contacted Michael Rockwell by email and together we arranged for the bag to be shipped from the US to my home in Perth. The service from Michael was First Class and this is reflected in the design innovation and manufacture of his bags.

Do yourselves a favour and have a look at the range from M- Rock! Once again Michael, the bag is just what I wanted and please feel free to change the wording in the testimonial if you want to use any of it.

Good Luck and Best Wishes,." - David Richards

"Received the Cascade bag today. Thank you. Love it!!!!! It's small. Just what I was looking for.
Thanks." - Maribel Wines

"Hi Michael,
Got the Cascade today. Love the color; love the bag. Thanks for designing and building such a useful tool!.
I'm happy." - Don Allen

"Just wanted to get back to you and a) thank you for your response to my query, and b) tell you that I purchased one of your bags and am delighted with its bombproof construction and thoughtful features.

As it turns out, I wound up buying your previous version of the Cascade Bag from a seller who had a little old stock lying around - and the slightly smaller overall dimensions of the earlier Cascade bag which I bought were just right for me. (I had a chance also to examine the newer model and it was just a tad too big for what I needed.) But without being long-winded and rambling, the essential point I wanted to convey to you is....my thanks for a well-engineered and well-designed utilitarian product."

"I have been buying and using camera bags for more that forty years and I have to say that the quality and attention to detail of the M-ROCK bags is the best I have used. I wanted a minimal bag for my Canon G1 and initially selected a LowePro Nova Micro bag. I should have known better.

"I have several LowePro bags all of which are gathering dust in a closet unused. Technically they are poorly designed and not constructed nearly as well as your M-ROCK bags. I bumped into your bags at a local camera store, Arlington Camera in Arlington Texas. I was immediately struck as to how well they are constructed and thought out. So I wound up buying a Cascade bag, an accessory case, and the modular belt. Well pleased with all of them."
