M-Rock Camera Bags
M-Rock Camera Bags has solved small problems for many photographers throughout their careers. We probably change camera bags and totes more often than our cameras and are always on the look-out for the best way to protect our investments.
M-Rock has eliminated that annoying little flap over the bag’s zipper. Intended to protect the zipper in inclement weather, that flap always seems to bind up just when you are about halfway through zipping up the bag. The new M-Rock bags have weather-proofed zippers to solve that problem.
But, let’s say that you couldn't avoid a rain shower during an outdoor shoot and you need to change a lens. The M-Rock bags have a little “raincoat” attached to a lanyard in the bag. This raincoat will permit you to shroud your camera and lens while you are switching lenses. And after you have made the switch, you can clean the replacement lens with a lanyard-attached cleaning cloth.
That would be Westcott not Wescott in case anyone is looking on Google for more info on that lighting kit.
I purchased the McKinley Bag because I loved the bag and M-Rock has a good reputation. I took the bag out within two weeks of buying it and the wheels were not working properly. Because of the way they are attached they bow, causing the wheels to wear against the plastic housing that holds them.
I returned the bag for a new one, hoping I had a bad seed. Within a few months I had the same issue. My husband warned to not get the second bag as I would have the issue with the bag, he was right.
The right wheel is worn through so it is cracked open, it does not spin and the left wheel is almost as bad. The bag bows down with resting on the wheels and the bottom of the bag is wearing from being “dragged” because the wheels aren’t holding it up.
I wrote the the maker of the M-Rock bag, Michael Rockwell. He said nothing is wrong the bag that I wore it out despite my limited use in under a year. He refuses to help me writing, “I will not read your email or continue communication with you.”
Buyer beware. Great Bad. Bad Wheels and Service.
