Which one did you end up choosing? I am actually a student and I'm wondering if the Rana is big enough for everyday carry for school, I don't carry textbooks but just laptop, few folders of papers, waterbottle, and some other miscellaneous items. But I'm not sure if I like the FC because there is no laptop sleeve and the handle is not directly on top. I'm looking to use this to replace my backpack
@@A24_Daniel I didn't end up getting a bag, my mom said no after looking at the price, even though I am the one buying it. But I am looking to get the Cravar Rana 15 in Expresso Colour
Thank you for the review. One question tho, why did you opted with the Rana Series rather than the FC Series? I believe the Rana is designed for cameras. I have cameras as well so I’m torn between the FC and Rana.
Great bag, those Sam Browne button closures are a bad idea though, those holes on the straps will absolutely stretch over time and they will feel loose.
This is a camera bag with padding and padded inserts to store camera/video gear. The button closure is also used by Billingham camera bags. Billingham is one of the most well known and respected camera bag manufacturer. The button closure will allow the opening and closing the bag to be as quiet as possible. There is no jingling of metal but yes, there are disadvantages. You pick your poison as they say. This bag has zero metal to metal contact so it is clear that the use case for this camera bag is for event photography where speed and quietness are maximized. I have Billingham bags with button closure, snaps, and buckles. Each solution have its own advantages and disadvantages. I think it would make sense if Cravar allows customers to have choices. There are situations where I wouldn't want to make it easy for pickpockets to have easy access to my gear. Other situations, I'm not too concerned about theft.
Thanks for the review on this bag! I am a teacher and am deciding between the Rana or FC.
both are great! I hope you got one (or the other).

@@ArabHoque Which one did YOU end up getting, and how does it perform?

@@ArabHoque try the Blue De Chauffe.
Thanks for updating
The Rana 15 sounds like a winner to me. The little opening flap wings are a great feature.
Agreed -- the flap is highly functional.
what the colour is it?
Fyi, Cravar from Indonesia like OrbitGear.
I didn't expect you to review, but thankyou . I have one and it's still like new 😁
ORBITGear is one of my fav bag company!

I don't like the top of the FC, that's why. BTW I am selling this reviewed Rana. Let me know if you are interested and in the US (for mailing).
@@PKShiu I'm interested! How can i contact you for the details?

Nice bag. I like it. Maybe i will give it a shot. Been looking for a quality leather bag and this one caught my attention.
they make good stuff.

I think so also. BTW I am putting this bag up for sale to thin my collection.
