AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

Just arrived and loaded it, heres my initial feedback: First, it has three significant failures: 1) no water bottle pocket (I knew this when I bought it) 2) poor organization for accessories - batteries, cables, chargers, caps, etc - the front pocket is the only place, and its more oriented towards pens/pads/etc and only opens halfway down the face. ZERO access from inside the camera compartment for the small stuff, (like when you pull your lens caps and want to stick them somewhere while the lenses are in use...) 3) the cross-body straps DO NOT store and DO NOT remove - the waist-wrap strap, while a nice feature, doesnt stow. so use it, or get tangled in it. the cross-chest strap (that ties the shoulder straps together) also doesnt stow or remove. 1 and 2 knocked a star off....but 3 really brings this to 3 stars. NOTE on layout - dont expect to have easy top-access to a body+lens - the design of the organizers forces that to the bottom of the bag, lens pointing up. For the price, its decent - and I was able to load a 300mm and 400mm (or a pair of 300mm) f4 lenses, 2 sony e mount bodies, 18-55mm and 55-210mm sony lenses, a 18-200mm zoom, 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm prime - and many F, MD, K, and EF lens adapters, 2x teleconverter, a set of macro ring spacers, and my sling strap. Finding a non-backpack bag to give good access to a pair of super teles has been pretty challenging, and this took it all for a low price. well see how it holds up to hauling it all (well, a subset)!

Im definitely getting more impressed with AmazonBasics quality. I have several AmazonBasics products and I think they are often the best value for what you are receiving. I bought this over a year ago in time for my brothers wedding .He already had a hired professional photographer but he wanted me to take some as well (as I am only an amateur, but hey -- more photos for free is never a bad thing!). If you are an hobbyist / amateur photographer with several lenses / accessories to protect, I think this is absolutely worth the price! The build quality feels very nice and I was able to travel on a plane with no problems. It also has a laptop slip which is very beneficial. The straps feel comfortable and the bag doesnt scream IM CARRYING EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT!. Youll look more like a student than anything (at least thats how I looked). And to be honest, the AmazonBasics label on the front of the bag isnt going to make anyone super curious about whats inside -- which is also why you should buy this!. I personally dont use this bad every time I go out shooting -- only for big events or photoshoots that require me to bring everything. For that reason I havent used it consistently over the past year. I think for a hobbyist it is great because my need for all my equipment at once is rare. Im most often doing street photography which requires a very light setup so I never bring this bag with me in those instances. I think depending on your needs this could be the best option for you. If youre a casual photographer who needs a bag to house all your equipment for the occasional big event -- get this one!

I bought two of these. I liked the first one very much but caught the belt clasp in a car door and broke the plastic. It still works but I wanted a second so I can enjoy the bag once the clasp no longer works. If you have the pack completely filled then avoid lifting by one shoulder strap I heard a ripping sound once but no stitches have come loose yet. I now put a full pack on by reaching through the shoulder strap and use the handle to lift the pack into position. The handle is strong and does not have any issue lifting a full pack. I often use the backpack to take my laptop, DSLR camera, two GoPro cameras, Nintendo Switch, full size keyboard (sicks out of outside pocked by about an inch so I use a strap to make sure the zipper stays up on the sides and the keyboard stays in the pocket), a portable DVD player (small), charging accessories, and my journal (small). This has been a great way to take all my tech stuff and it fits under the seat on an aircraft. I have used it for about 6 trips (one to Europe) and it has been a joy to use.

Im happy with this camera bag. The cushioned walls are soft but supportive. The removable straps and mini-walls inside the bag make it nicely customizable, and the layout of the pockets and such are useful. I havent had the bag long, but Ive used it on some long shoots and one long vacation, and there are no tears or undone seems -- so far. The construction seems solid, overall. Im not thrilled with the tripod straps on the side. The pocket below the straps -- which some people use to stick a tripod leg into when carrying the tripod alongside the bag -- does not work for my large tripod, so I have to rely on the straps/clips to keep the tripod in place. In hindsight, I think a bag that carries the tripod below the bag is more secure and balanced. I also wish that some of the additional straps (like the large strap that wraps around my stomach) were removable. But overall, Im happy with the bag, especially at this price point.

Nice camera bag for the price. The orange interior does make it easy to find small parts but probably not much more than the grey. It doesnt have as many storage pockets as more expensive bags but for $40 its pretty good. Still, would be nice to have more. Carefully inspected the bag upon receipt. No problems with the stitching or the zippers. Looks like it will hold up well unless its just carelessly abused. The shoulder straps are comfortable and surprisingly thicker than I expected. So is the back. The laptop compartment is huge and will accommodate a 17 easily. My 15.6 HP and 10.5 Samsung tablet fit no problem. The included rain cover is a nice addition as the bag will probably not provide much protection in even light to moderate rain. The bag is deep and protrudes outward significantly if that is a concern, but it holds its shape and does a good job of standing upright. The interior padding is good all around and the Velcro pads in the camera compartment attach securely. Would be nice if Amazon included a couple more. What you see in the pics is what you get. Im a little concerned the mesh pocket in the front will hold up. The bottom couldve been sewn stronger and the material almost feels brittle. The only other concern I really have is the rubber handle on top. Just doesnt feel durable. Very soft rubber. Overall, its a good bag if you dont want to spend a lot of money and I would buy it again.

I was very surprised with this backpack. Generally I see comparable backpacks at 3, 4 and 5 times as much as this bag. So when I got the bag I was not expecting much for its build quality and ease of use. I was very pleasantly surprised. The bag is excellent! Lets look carefully at it now: Pros: - Good build quality - Easy to re-arrange internal areas - Fits a lot of gear - Straps are built in such a way to ACTUALLY alleviate weight off your back - The Laptop Pouch is safely protected from the lenses. - Rubberized and strong top handle. Cons: - The outside pouch does not hold much (I have it holding a - The bag includes a rain cover, but no pouch for the cover. - The outside tripod holder is useless (as they are on every bag) - The waist straps are not removable (if you dont like them, they flap around and look silly) Overall I really love the bag so far. For me, it was perfect as I had just enough gear to fill but not overpack the bag. One has topay attention to what they put into the bag and where it goes, but once that initial step is done, youre good to go!

I HAVE LUGGED THIS AROUND FOR 7 DAYS NOW AND LOVE IT! 1.) all of the dividers are completely removable. 2.) It customizes nicely to hold my, (1) CANON EOS 6D (1) GOSSEN LUNA-STAR F light meter (1) BATTERY GRIP (4) EXTRA BATTERIES (1) SPEEDLIGHT 430EX11 and MY 5 FAVORITE FILTERS. this leaves enough room at the top (2 spaces 3x4) for extra flash batteries, a small lens or a very small snack. This a great bag for the money comparing it to a $79.00 bag that didnt have a place for my laptop. This bag IS NOT deep enough to safely hold a Cannon EOS 6D with a battery grip attached (I wish it was, but I think that I will adapt rather than try to find another bag at this time. The case will shut, but the camera with the grip attached will stick up about 1.25 inch. It will however fit if the lens is removed. 3.) When loaded is sets about 8.5 off my back and is about 18 tall. The loops on the side will hold a tripod, mine is about 16-17 collapsed and designed for travel. There is a lot of room in this bag. 4.) This bag shoulders well, the adjustable shoulder straps are very comfortable and have a D ring (looks like composite nylon) on each side.. It has a padded waist belt and a chest (sternum) strap. 5.) There is ample room in the back for a 15.5 x 10.25 inch Laptop it has (2) side pockets that are large enough to hold a wireless mouse or a couple bags of skittles. Attached to the side are (2) buckle straps for securing a tripod and as pictured in the very front there is a nice compartment that has smaller pockets to hold other essential things chargers, cords, filters. My primary use for this bag will be to carry on while traveling so the above issue of depth is not a concern. I would recommend this product to anyone who was looking similar purpose bag.

Great gadget bag. Lots of well designed space. I was looking to upgrade from a smaller gadget bag due to the accumulation of gear. I could no longer carry all my gear in one bag. Thats not gonna be a problem with this bag. Theres plenty of room for my Nikon (Its not a camera. Its a Nikon. ;-), several lenses, 2 flash units, macro sleeves, filters, etc, etc, with plenty of padding to protect my precious glass. The laptop compartment certainly wasnt a priority for me, but now that I have it in hand, I think the added bonus of having the laptop compartment is something Ill be thankful for many times. If for nothing else, Ill be able to transfer photos to my laptop and view them at large scale while still in the field. If it saves me from missing a single shot, it will have proven its worth. I also love the backpack gadget bag concept. Ive always been a freak about having to have ALL my gear with me at all times, and I do a lot of shooting at National Parks. Now I can literally have ALL of my gear with me, as opposed to grabbing the Nikon and a couple of lenses, leaving the rest in my truck, trudging 3/4 of a mile through snow and mud, only to realize that my 35mm sure would be great to have for this shot, then trudging back to my truck to fetch it. Yeah, I know. Zooms. I have PLENTY of zooms, but my fixed lenses are all much faster than my zooms.

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.***

Overall, I am so content with this purchase. I needed something to hold my Canon camera and the multitude of accessories that came with it (from Amazon). It holds everything and I still have room for other stuff. I put it on and adjusted all of the straps to make it fit snug but comfortable across the chest and waist. I really like those features. The extra strap material is not a big deal because I can find a way to take care of that. I also like versatility in anything I buy so this is great! I can take all of the Velcro out if I need to use it as a backpack and it holds my 16+ laptop - which is not easy to find in a camera backpack. I like the sturdy material and the rain cover. There are only 2 things I wish it had, but are not deal-breakers: zipper handles with holes for small locks and a pocket on the side for a water/thermal bottle. I can use zip-ties and a safety pin in the side pocket to undo them (as seen on a 5-minute craft video) if I am traveling somewhere I need extra security and I can buy a bottle that can attach to one of the front strap loops- but that is not ideal, especially for a female.
