AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

A long time ago, I watched a video by someone (I forgot whom) who recommended this backpack to carry around deck boxes and the like for Magic: the Gathering (and Im sure this pertains to other card games as well). I found it in my Save for Later section and decided I had the money for an upgrade like this and got it. No regrets! UltraPro Satin Tower deckboxes fit perfectly within the padded sections inside the second pocket. The first pocket is a little tight, but you can fit one binder in there comfortably. There is a side pocket with clipped straps that holds a playmat tube perfectly, and the smallest third pocket is great for pens/pencils, life point pads, dice, etc. I have just *one* complaint. Because the backpack is designed for taking your camera on hikes or something (I really dont know the photography culture at all), there are clips for your waist. There is no way to remove these clips, and they get in the way. I tried tightening them as much as they go, but then they sit on my lower-back annoyingly, and the strap hangs down and looks like Im wearing a badly-made tail. Overall, wonderful backpack. Seconding whomever recommended it for Magic cards. 5 stars!

This a great and unique camera bag. The orange interior makes it easy to see black camera components so they dont get misplaced. The pack has padding on the back side that shields your backbone from abrasion. This feature makes it very comfortable to carry heavy gear. I have a Nikon D7100 with a 200-500mm Tamron lens mounted that fits very well inside due to the reconfigurable partitions. I found that the zipper handles are top quality and all metal so the other comments about their weakness seem either unfounded or now corrected by Amazon. The only issue that I did have was that I lost one of the two removable velcro fitted straps in a parking lot as I took out my camera. I didnt notice until the next stop that it was missing. We returned to the parking lot and found it. It also has fallen out since then in the car as I took out the camera. I may tack one end down permanently so they cant come off. It is no big deal and it is due to the moderately poor adhesion of the velcro to the orange felt like material in the interior. Perhaps a more aggressive version of the hook side of the velcro would be an improvement. I also got caught out in the rain on a wildlife photoshoot and the supplied rain cover worked spectacularly. I was soaked but the camera gear was dry and safe.

Great camera bag at a great price. Two long and 5 short Velcro removable partitions plus two hold down Velcro straps to hold camera items safe and secure. Two outside Velcro-secured pouches. Two large zippered flat storage areas: The area located close to your back (shoulder strap(s) side) good for a laptop...probably 17 inch display size. The other large flat storage area, furthest from your back, has lots of pouches of varying sizes including a mesh-type pouch. A clip I believe for retaining a set of keys is located here. Lots of adjustments for the shoulder straps including waist straps. A couple of Velcro fastening straps on the outside of the bag will hold a light-weight tripod secure. The camera bag is relatively large and looks durable. The bag has not been used yet. Ive set the bag up for a DMC-G6 with 14-140mm lens attached, an HF-R600 with lens hood, two Zoom H1 recorders with shock-mounts attached (one with a ball-joint), bar with two 1/4-20 bolts (for mounting H1 plus HF-R600 side-by-side). A 72 inch tripod on the side of the bag. Hand hold or use the shoulder bag with a Magnus VT-350 tripod. Could even bring a 7 inch Viltrox monitor but with the battery removed (for HF-R600). Hope to use the camera bag soon. Also, a rain hood is included to make a more water resistant enclosure.

Nice bag, especially for the price. I believe it will work well for my needs. PROS: -I like the flexibility of the moveable dividers so I can adjust as needed to the lenses, cameras, etc that I am taking out each particular trip. -Seems to have adequate padding to protect my gear. -Nicely padded shoulder straps. But it is not perfect. I dont know where Amazon got the dimensions in their Product Description Key Features section, but they are way off. They list the bags measurements as 15.8 x 11.8 x 19.7 inches. In the Product Details area it is described as 13.2 x 9 x 18 inches, but I only measure the exterior as 12.5 x 6.5 x 17.5. (I included pictures in the Product Images from Customers below. -The back pack looks like it may have some rain resistance, but the bag also comes with what I believe is a rain cover with an elastic band to put over the backpack during rainy conditions. CONS: -Does not fit my 17 Toshiba laptop into the laptop compartment as the description states. It lacks about 1/2 an inch of being able to zip up the laptop compartment. -The strap that goes around the waist is too high for me. I am 6 4 though, so might be ok for average sized person. I will probably just use the shoulder straps and snap the ends together of the waist strap and not use it. Overall I am pleased with the purchase for the price I got it during Black Friday weekend deal. It has more room and flexiblitiy options than my previous backpack.

Fits my digital SLR camera, zoom lens, flash, lens hoods, filters, cleaning supplies, mini collapsible tripod, camera remote, camera charger, laptop charger, wireless mouse, spare laptop battery, laptop backup hard drive, all laptop and camera manuals and CDs, and the rain hood in the main compartment. The laptop goes in its compartment. The small outside pockets and separate briefcase-type compartment are empty, so theres still room for other items like cell phone, its charger, pens, earbuds, some papers, passport and wallet, and a few other small items. With all that, it is heavy, but thats expected, especially since my laptop is ancient and heavy. Straps have a large range of adjustment. Flexible partitioning allowed me to pack the camera, zoom lens, and flash near the top, for quicker acces to those more commonly used items when speed is needed. Good amount of padding to protect the gear. Combining laptop and camera makes perfect sense for taking and editing/displaying photos during or immediately after events and while traveling. The combination also saves one carry-on item when flying, which was my initial reason for buying it. Only slight issue is that the side-to side taper toward the top of the bag makes those corners of the laptop tight and hard to close the zipper around. A thinner, more modern laptop would likely alleviate this issue. Fantastic product for the price. Its new, so if I have durability issues, I will update this review.

I bought this for my first ever trip going really anywhere, so this firs time was to Kauai! This bag was PERFECT! I LOVE the hiking type waist strap as one spontaneous hike we had to do and didnt know until we went looking for Queens Bath and we had barely any sunlight left and had to beat it going down, shooting quick, right back up! I carried this bag EVERYWHERE while there and it fit perfectly under the seat on the airplane too. I dont have a mass amount of lenses so I could also fit a few other things in the pockets. It is perfect to look like a normal backpack and not get stolen, although it was ATTACHED to me and my guy either way. I also took my laptop since homework online, and it was perfect for that too. Sturdy. Zippers going both ways made it easier at times when quickly searching a few times to pull something small out if under the seat or however. Great quality of fabric, straps so easy to adjust and not too easy that they slide when I dont want them to resize. I also didnt take my tripod so I just tied my water bottle onto the side strap area where the tripod would go. MyGyvering works! I would absolutely buy this again once mine forever later wore out or as a gift for someone else. Perfect!

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.***

This bag is very impressive. I dont think Ive ever purchased a bag that was this good, at this price point. It has features that usually are found in bags priced in the $99-$199 range. The interior padding is very thick and firm, the straps and stitching is incredibly strong, and the padding on the back and straps is extremely comfortable. It even has a waist strap which I havent been able to find on similarly priced bags from other manufacturers. The carry handle has a nice strong molded rubber grip on it, and the included rain fly is more than adequate for protecting anything you have inside. This bag looks very small, especially compared to the average 3-day pack, but it seems bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. I have all my gear that I would want to take on a nice trip or excursion, plus food and clothes for three days, and a 15 ultrabook, and it fit everything perfectly without even having to squeeze it in and compress it down. The straps on the side can hold a tripod, a sleeping pad, a jacket, or anything else you want, and cinch down tightly enough that whatever you put there wont go anywhere unless you want it to. This pack is also very unassuming in appearance, and doesnt shout I have valuable stuff please steal me. It also doesnt have the overly tactical appearance that some other bags from Oakley or Maxpedition seem to have these days. It really does just look like an average, run-of-the-mill book bag, and when set on the ground at an airport or train terminal seems to shrink a bit. The construction is very rigid and firm, due to the foam inside, and it holds its shape amazingly well. Theres no need to prop it up on something, it wont fall over and doesnt buckle or deform from the weight of what you have inside it. Overall, Im extremely impressed with what showed up on my doorstep; I intend to test the heck out of it over the next several months, and should any of the straps, buckles, or stitching fall apart (which at this point really does seem highly unlikely) I will update this review to reflect the issue. Amazon, great job guys.

I did some research on others that have used this as an inexpensive way to carry the DJI Phantoms and decided to give it a try for our summer vacation. Was able to get the DJI to fit with some very easy configuration of the inside velcro dividers. Zipping it up was a little tight, but hopefully it will stretch out a over time. I put all the charging cables in the outer zipper pocket and the controller fit in the main storage area. Only small want would be that it had a little more padding, but that is minor. No issues with it during car travel. Reviews like these help me to make purchasing decisions. My views in this review are based only on the product.

price is good, storage and the many different compartments are great, I purchased this a few months ago for my 5D four lenses three flashes half-dozen batteries 40 or so lens filters, TTL cables, memory cards, much more and an iPad and a laptop. It is a good-looking unit and has excellent straps and seems to be a decent backpack however it is starting to come apart at the seams and to be fair I have never once with it as a backpack... in fact oh, its spent most of its time either on my desk or in my passenger seat. It does protect my gear well, and the adjustable compartments in the camera portion are perfect. However, the top handle is falling off already. I imagine within a year I will have to purchase a new one, but it most certainly will not be this one. Sadly while it is a well-put-together unit, cheap thread is its downfall. And upgrade to a nylon polyester type thread would alleviate The Ripping problem entirely as it is not the fabric thats coming apart but the thread itself and I can honestly say Ive carried it by the top handle less than a dozen times. And it wasnt exactly cheap at 35 bucks. Im a bit disappointed but I think we can restitch it with a much stronger thread and that should fix the problem. But judging by what Ive read on these reviews theyre more than aware of the problem. So thats on them. 3 stars is generous imo for something thats barely used and is almost worn out.
