AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

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.

Great pack if you just need something to keep you from breaking your lenses as you travel. The interior is not as customizable as it seems and many would like due to the sloping shape of the bags main pocket. Otherwise, it works well and has plenty of space for a camera and a few lenses or mic and other goodies. It fit my Cannon M50 plus two lenses, a shotgun mic, batteries and chargers, as well as some other odds and ends without trouble. The tripod straps on the side work just fine, but they are a bit difficult to get adjusted where you need them at first. The suspension system is fine for walking around town or the like, but I would not want to wear this for more than a short hike due to the lack of ventilation. If you dont mind a sweaty back, it should be fine but will need periodic adjusting and be a bit uncomfortable. Essentially, its fine if youre not picky but dont expect Osprey level performance. Overall it works well. Not perfect, but gets the job done.

This has replaced both my old camera bag and my laptop bag and is now my daily carry bag, holding a Canon DSLR body, four lenses, an external flash and spare UV and polarizer filters for each lens ring size, spare batteries, a 13 MacBook Air and its AC adaptor, a Kindle Fire HD 6 and various other random objects the likes of which many people carry in their laptop bags. Oh yes, and a Manfrotto light weight tripod strapped to the side with the built in straps for that purpose. They work quite well. Ive only had to adjust them once. The shoulder straps are well padded and the single handle on the top makes it convenient to set in my trunk and lift it out again, without turning it at an odd angle trying to lift it in and out by the shoulder strap. Everything inside stays nicely in place and is well protected. Note, I have NOT tried to actually use this as a camera bag in the field yet. Im probably pointlessly carrying my camera gear around with me everywhere I take my laptop (mostly to work and home), but it holds everything well and its comfortable to carry.

This is on the same level of high end bags, and the truth about a camera bag is you will buy many over the years..i do out door photography and weddings and the like, every day packing it up unpacking to the deep woods or in the mountains to the studio, the bag takes a beating. Most of the time i replace mine in a year for one reason or another rip, bad zipper or strap ripped off. this pack has out lived a 400 pack! so this is my go to gear bag i could careless about brand at this point save the money for new glass dont waste it on high bags get this one. its been almost 3 years! that is a life time to me for bags! the space is so so.. not the best but not the worst, i can take along a D5 mark II and 1D X mark II and 4 lens plus a laptop and a good cleaning kit extra batteries and some snacks ;) it will be at around 75 pounds when i am done some times less depending what i am doing but all and all its at max and takes it well! cant say enough for the price this is the way to go.

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.

I cant speak about durability since Ive only had it a couple of months, but it is just about perfect for my needs. It has room for all of my photo gear, laptop, and a few other small items, yet it fit perfectly beneath the seat in front of me on the plane. It is padded well for protection, seems to be pretty water resistant, and even has a rain cover I havent used yet. I havent felt a need for the hip belt yet, and wish it were removable. But, it could come in handy in the event I need to carry it a long way. BTW, my photo gear consists of a DSLR body, 100-400mm, 18-135mm, and 10-18mm lenses, a few filters and a battery charger. This still left room for a couple of bottles of prescription meds, extra eyeglasses, a folder for maps, extra pens and highlighters, etc. For the money, this is a great purchase!

Not quite perfect, because nothing ever is, but pretty close. Slightly larger than I expected but this bag holds both my SLR and DLSR, along with a nice array of lenses for both cameras, and my laptop. I think its the accessory storage pouch on the front that makes me want for a little more, as the number of pockets, while seemingly plenty, still fall a bit short; Im an Architect, so I carry a lot of odds-and-ends with me when Im traveling. I cant bring my usual assortment with me because the storage area cant expand out very far. Also, I had a near fatal error when I picked up the bag with the laptop pouch zippers slightly open at the top; they quickly split open, to each side, due to the weight of the camera equipment and nearly dumped my laptop on the pavement. Definitely need to make sure both zippers are closed together on one side or the other to avoid a potentially expensive accident. My final concern is whether this bag will fit under the seat in front of me on the airplane; itll fit in the overhead bin just fine, but I like to keep my camera with me, rather than risking it to others when theres no room in the bin over my seat. It would also be nice if there was some kind of containment system for all of the extra shoulder, waist, and chest straps when not needed but this is a small issue easily fixed with a few Velcro cable management bands. I am especially happy about the orange interior, though, as it makes identifying the contents quickly and easily, without a lot of digging around. This is a great buy; it holds a LOT of equipment and makes managing storage easy with adjustable dividers in the camera compartment. Just be careful how much you load into it; the bag can become quiet heavy in a hurry. Ive already recommended this bag to a buddy looking for a bag a little larger than what he already has. This is a very good solution!

This bag is great, the biggest part of the bag let’s you customize how you want to arrange space within the bag. The front and laptop portions are smaller because of this(obviously), but we’re able to get the job done and carry my 17in laptop as well as a couple notebooks, some pencils, a pencil sharpener, a computer mouse, and the laptop charger with a little space leftover. When it comes to weight distribution this bag handles it very well, just makes sure you fasten the straps as comfortable as you can. Don’t carry the bag too long though, because like most bags after awhile you start feeling the weight on your shoulders. Even though the padding on the bags helps, I wouldn’t wear it more than an hour at a time. Lastly the main issue I have with this backpack are the side straps; they can hold your tripod well. However they’re not strong enough to keep your tripod from sliding around in place, this causes and issue where you have to put your tripod into the straps a certain way if you want it to be completely secure.
