Minimalist but Effective Solution, IF ...
Lowepro makes excellent products: well constructed and well designed for specific uses. But if the Lowepro purchaser has not (a) thought through exactly how he/she will us the bag; and (b) examined the full range of bags that closely suit that purpose; well, then buyer's remorse can set in. The Toploader Zoom 50 AW II bag is suited very specifically to the task of minimally -- but adequately -- protecting a full-size camera body with high-line 24mm to 70mm, f/2.8 zoom lens. It my case that's a Nikon D610 with the AF-S Nikkor 24mm-70mm f/2.8G ED lens, with Nikon lens shade mounted on the lens in reverse. [This is NOT the newest VR version.]
The camera and lens JUST fits, lens down, with no extra cushion in the bottom. I've been keeping the camera in this bag, lately, hanging by the shoulder strap. I've noticed that, perhaps as a consequence of hanging it, that the bottom has taken on a slightly convex shape, and as a result, the bag will not stand up by itself on the small end.
Even with the camera inside, the outside pocket offers enough space for a couple of filters and a pocket for SD cards in their plastic cases. There's a small pocket on the inside of the zip-close lid, but there's virtually no space left inside the main compartment once this camera/lens combination is inside. One extra divider panel was supplied that could be used inside if the camera/lens combination is a small format, and/or smaller lens. There's an integrated rain cover that's always with the case and can be easily & quickly deployed in the event you get caught out. I selected this case to do exactly what it's doing for me -- hold the camera and lens and almost nothing else -- so I'm pleased with the product. If you need to carry more than a few small accessories along with your camera/lens, you should probably pass this one by. If minimalist protection for your full-frame camera/lens is what you're looking for, then I recommend the Zoom 50 AW II as the least obtrusive but well-made carry bag you're going to find. [If I could have, I would have rated the bag 4-1/2 stars. It would have been 5 except I believe they LowePro should designed in a slightly larger and stiffer base, with just a touch more padding to better cope with incidental contacts that occur when setting the bag down, or sitting down with the bag on the shoulder.]

Well Engineered - Traditional Design
Manfrotto quality in a well-engineered tripod head. Adjustable friction on movements makes it adaptable to different configurations of camera & lens as the weight atop the tripod changes. The traditional layout of the fore-and-aft movement control handle in the rear with the side-to-side rotation control handle on the right is very intuitive for those of us 'old hands' that prefer the independent controls over a ball-head. The retractable handles allow the head to fit nicely into my tripod case. Manfrotto implements a proprietary 'quick release' plate. This is my only knock against Manfrotto's tripod heads, because one of my lenses is equipped with an Arca-Swiss type quick release. The result is that I have to choose between mounting Manfrotto plates on camera and lens, or an Arca plate on the camera, depending on whether I'm shooting atop the tripod or atop my ball head-equipped monopod. All that said, if you're looking for a traditional 3-way head, I highly recommend the X-Pro.
