AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

Not for the tall and slim (65 205 for reference). To get the hip straps to reach my hips I have to let out so much slack in the shoulder straps it puts the chest strap at around my collarbone (about 6+inches higher than its optimal location), at which point I have to cinch the chest adjuster as tight as it will go. I have a slightly long torso for my size so you might be safe up to 66 or 67, but any further and you have to chose between using either the chest strap or the waist strap. It wouldnt be hard to fix just add an extra 4 to 5 inches of padding/length to the shoulder straps, problem solved. Out side of that it appears to be quite rugged, albeit no frills. The dividers on the interior seem to hold pretty fast and are completely repositionable and removable. All that remains is to see how it holds up to daily use.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this camera back pack. It is very well made and I could change the compartments to fit my camera and lenses. I am absolutely love this back pack!

I only have a small camera bag to compare this to, but this is awesome for my first big bag. The main compartment dividers are fully customizable, I reversed my so the camera body is at the top instead the bottom, however, be aware that by inverting the dividers the top of the bag is shallower than the bottom, the dividers will be slightly taller than the bag body. So far, it has worked great, I carry a Canon T3i, 18-55 lens, 55-250 lens, SD cards, batteries, charger, filters, and a few other odds and ends. I havent tried putting my notebook in it yet, but I believe it will fit with room to spare. The straps on the side are nice for securing your tripod, keeps it from having to be hand carried. I can already see that I will probably outgrow this bag rather quickly with acquiring more gear, but who knows, I may just buy another and divide the gear into shoot specific bags. Great product so far, Ill revisit this review if I come across any problems. P.S. It also comes with a slip-on rain cover.

I traveled through Europe this summer with all my camera equipment stuffed into a standard backpack. Changing lenses, batteries or filters required setting the backpack on the ground and digging through, which made photography a hassle and made my subjects (spouse and kids) extremely impatient. After we returned, I decided that I needed a more professional solution. I read tons of camera backpack reviews and watched a few dozen videos before setting on this one, and I couldnt be happier. Heres what I see as the key features that make this product stand out from other alternatives: - NONDESCRIPT APPEARANCE: Most camera backpacks scream, Im a camera backpack, making you an easy target in crowded venues. I have thousands of dollars of gear and place a premium on the security offered by this anonymity. - VERY COMFORTABLE: With adjustable wide padded shoulder straps on chest and waist, it took me seconds to find just the right comfort setting, and I can wear the backpack comfortably for hours. - SPACIOUS: Easily fits my camera body, 4 lenses, flash and accessories, several filters and hoods, external mic, tripod, batteries and battery chargers, memory cards, laptop and tablet - with room to spare. - SMART, SOLID BUILD: Padding is thick. Dividers are plentiful and easily shifted with Velcro attachments. The camera body (with just about any lens attached) easily fits in the center compartment, for quick removal and storage. The zippers move well. - RAIN COVER: The pack comes with a specially fitted rain cover that easily slides over the backpack and helps keep everything dry. Based on my research, only the higher-end camera bags come with one of these. - EXCELLENT PRICE: This backpack is a tremendous value. I couldnt find anything else that was close to this price for this feature set, size, and quality. AmazonBasics is a misnomer for this product - its anything but basic. I look forward to getting many years of use out of this well-designed, well-made backpack.

This is a solid backpack with tons of room to spare. In the main compartment you can remove all the dividers and set them up in whatever configuration works best for your needs. There is a place for a regular sized laptop to go into, (You couldnt fit a bulky Gaming laptop such as the ASUS ROG G75VW I have in it) and there is a front pocket with a few small pockets to store accessories as well as a couple side pockets and straps to hold a tripod. The backpack straps are OK, dont expect them to be top of the line though. I really dont mind since I just use to top handle instead. The only con I have this this back pack is the front section could use a few more pockets. I have a lot of small accessories and cables that are bunched together that could use some organization. ***I have had this backpack for about a year now and it has held up great! I do want to not though that when you zip up any of the compartments (especially the laptop compartment) make sure that the zippers arent near the top of the pack or else the pack will unzip itself while you are wearing it.***

I just received the backpack and Im over-joyed at my purchase. I have two DSLRs, a Canon and a Nikon, with more gear for the Canon. My original backpack was quite full and I was needing to carry things in two separate gear bags when I spotted this one. Im consolidating all my related gear for each camera into separate backpack, that way I can grab one and out the door I go. I will revisit this review after an outing; which might just be this evening! UPDATE: For me, this bag is awesome! The zippers work flawlessly....theres even a rain cover! Everything I have for my Canon fits in this pack with room left over. What gear? I have 4 lenses, compliment of filters, shades, 4 batteries, assortment of SDXC cards, charger, a reflector plus the camera! The tripod will strap to the side: I usually carry mine in hand, but, these straps will hold it. I checked. I went for a walk on the bike path by the river, about 1/2 mile, and was really pleased at the comfortable, padded straps. Could wear this for a while without getting too fatigued (and theres no way you could call me in shape)! Bottom Line: This is going to work for me. If you need some room, try this one.

I had this backpack for a bit over nine months and today the zipper broke. Granted I do real estate photography 5+ days a week nearly every week - so the zipper gets opened and closed a LOT. This bag isnt too bad and should hold up for a few years or more with occasional use. Also, this bag is not at all rainproof. Unlike my old (and much more expensive) Lowepro bag, there is no water-resistant coating on the fabric whatsoever. Dont count on it keeping your gear dry while walking in the rain. Anyways, its not bad for the price and for occasional use. No other bag of this size and with these features even comes close to the low price of this one. Also, I had a chat with customer service and they cheerfully refunded my money after reporting my experience with the broken zipper.

I love this bag so much, especially for the price. This is one of the only camera bags for this price that comes with the waist strap and multiple clasp straps that come in handy to shift the weight when I have a full bag. It can fit so much into it! I use it at work just caring equipment from my desk to various places around the building when I am setting up a shoot, and I also use this as a travel bag when I need to fly with my equipment. I can fit two Gh4s, a H6 Zoom kit, 2-3 lenses, 2 lav mics, my SD card case, 2 XLRs, a tripod (or shoulder mount), a small monopod, plus extra batteries for everything with room to spare! I havent tried carrying a laptop or Ipad inside yet, but its got plenty of room. It also comes with a rain cover as well! Feels nice and durable. I used one hiking down mountains in the DR with camera gear on my back and it worked really well.

Love this bag! This is a great bag for starters or for hobbyist in storing camera and video equipment. This bad holds my T3i, Zoom Audio Devices, all Kinds of cords, batteries, SD cards, led lights, a tripod, business cards, and etc. I love the dividers in how it keeps everything organized and neat. My only thing with the dividers is that they are starting to get a little lose on me. It doesnt have that tight fit like when I first purchased it. Its a very big bulky bag but its okay! What I love about this bag is that the strap on the front that clamps around your waist. Sometimes I carry extra bags or tripods and I just loop them on the cords in the front and clamp it in place and my hands are freed up to carry something else. Its a very strong bag and it gets the job done. I love the orange in the bag and it gives it a cool color. I love all of the zippers and compartments to where you can store on hold just about anything. This bag is a great bag and it hasnt disappointed me. I only gave it 4 stars because of the bulkiness and the dividers which are slipping or loosening. Overall, this is a great bag and I shopped on Amazon for a lot of bags and chose this one. For the price...This is a great buy!

This is a great camera bag. There may be some higher quality bags out there, but definitely not for the price. SIZE: My 15 inch laptop goes in no problem. There are plenty of separate pockets for memory cards, queue cards, pens, pocket knives, etc. All of the slots are rearrangeable to some degree (really not many better variations that I can think of) and there are two additional straps included to help secure something extra if needed. As the setup comes, it snugly fits the 18-135mm in the lens sections, and fits my Canon T5i in the main slot with a tiny bit more wiggle room than I would hope, thats where I use the extra straps. The flap opens all the way so you can easily reach every compartment or leave it open sitting with the compartments facing upward. QUALITY: The zippers are very secure. Reminds me of something you would find on a tent because it doesnt look like the stitching will come loose with further use. The straps are secure. They are not over-sized, but not so small to where they will dig into the shoulders too much. The canvas seems to be good quality. I dont have any visible markings on it yet since but have mostly just been using it walking around parks, cities, etc. and throwing it around in my car. I imagine the fabric isnt indestructible, but great for what you pay. The bottom has some decent padding so I am not afraid of setting it down. The side walls and wall closest to your back are pretty much double layered because of the felt and canvas layers, but I would be careful that anything doesnt come down to hard on these portions or the wall of the bag that makes up the flap. (You cold always stuff the pockets for more padding, I suppose!) LOOKS: The backpack is pretty nondescript, which I think looks pretty professional and can be a benefit for blending in when needed. It retains its shape (pretty close to what you see in the pic) because of the compartment structure, so it definitely looks like a case of some sort rather than a normal backpack. The orange felt on the inside, while not the prettiest of colors, is important to me because it contrasts well with mostly black camera gear, so when you drop an SD card its a breeze seeing where it fell. Overall, great quality, strongest feature is the price and the safety/convenience it adds to my camera gear.
