Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro Nova 1 AW Camera Bag (Gray)

Customer Review: serious design flaw
Summary: 1 Stars

I have the Nova 2 which is identical to the Nova 1 but bigger. The bag itself is okay. I can fit an SLR body plus 3 lenses and small accessories. It is not waterproof but it comes with a plastic cover which can be used to keep rain out. However, none of that matters when there is a seriously weak link. During my first trip with this bag, the clasp that connects the bag to the shoulder strap came undone twice within 3 days, dropping the bag to the ground and damaging some of my lenses. I examined the strap to see what the problem was and apparently it is a design flaw rather than a defect. The 2 clasps at the end of the strap that connect it to the bag are narrow and made of plastic. They can easily be twisted out of alignment, making an opening through which the connecting rings on the bag can fall through. I did not overload the bag, abuse it or misuse it, yet it failed to do what it is supposed to do: carry my camera equipment safely. I had never dropped any of my photo equipment prior to this. I sent an email to Lowepro's customer service department, calmly explaining what happened and requesting that some sort of compensation be made for damage caused by the faulty design of their product, but they simply ignored my letter.

I would not recommend this bag or any Lowepro bag to anyone who value their cameras.
