Any users of this carryall, any reviews on build quality ? Ive got 2 trakker nxg compact carry all but there still a bit large, and they unbalance the barra slightly, was hoping to downsize to two smaller carryalls, less gear, better balance.

The ESP ones look good, online, was hoping for some user review / opinions.

Have the compact Camo carry for sale myself, great bit of kit, very well made, still just a bit big for what I was after.

that's interesting, still to big. maybe its too large for a replacement. I know it states 35ltr but Im waiting to hear from ESP about its dimensions.

What you looking at as a possible alternative ? Ive looked at C.A. and they have a great range but still undecided. The ESP, on the screen looked the best possible candidate.

ESP came back to me very quickly ( good customer service ) and size wise, both internally and externally, smaller than my current NXG carryalls so that's a positive. Build quality is apparently quite good.

Obviously don't want to go too small and not have enough space.....its a fine line. Your always reviewing, refining your entire set up, getting rid of the crap were all guilty of carrying. But not being able to see them in the flesh, hasn't helped.

Thanks guys. Any other options, Im all ears.

I travel super light, and all based around bits designed to work/ pack away as compact as possible. I've had a custom Cotswolds camera bag basically made into a small hold-all so probably more than half the size of the esp one, so I wouldn't take it as a bad thing against it personally. I'd say for the average person it'd be ideal, it's well thought out with the pocket sizes aswell they fit most essential bits in with ease.

Mere-man, thanks. I had a look at the ESP one last night and its 5 - 10% smaller than the NXG but better thought out and seemingly holds the same amount of gear but with more useable space.

Its still bigger than Id hoped. Ive looked at several of the C.A. solutions and again, whilst there awesome, there not perfect either but its interesting to here they do bespoke mods.

Was it much more money, too have your camera/carryall made to your spec ? I think that's how i'll go to get exactly what I want size wise and barra loading/balance.

Thanks again

I think it cost an extra £10 to have the bits modified on it, basically slightly bigger pockets on the outside that are zippable and can take a few pots of hookbaits, and a flap pouch on the back to put some scales in. Nothing overly difficult for them to do, in fact if you fancy a dpm one message them and they may have the one they made by mistake for me as I wanted green

I got CA to make me a midi roamer a while back with a few inches shaved off the height and width, bigger pocket on back to match the one on the front. Only cost a few quid more than the standard one. Speak to Angela she is very helpful.
