AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

This worked perfectly for my first overseas trip. I wanted a carryon that would protect my DSLR which I was never going to let more than 4 feet away. The backpack has a number of removable velcroed pads that allow you to shape the individual packing areas. If I had been taking multiple lenses (which I wasnt) this would have been great. All I needed for special padding was an area for a Nikon D90. The backpack has plenty of room for a change of clothes, a laptop, pockets for personal items (sunglasses, lipstick, wallet, passport, stuff), and also space for the quart bag of small toiletries, and another small bag for prescriptions, cough drops, etc. It holds so much you have to be careful from making it too heavy. The adjustable straps are comfortable and you could also carry it by the handle. It does not have a slip strap for the handle of your wheelie suitcase, but you could easily adapt the existing straps for this. It worked great as a daypack for carrying everything on tours. And it has side straps for carrying a tripod. Definitely my permanent go-to bag for adventuring. Where dd we go? Tromso, Norway above the Arctic Circle and yes, we saw the Northern Lights.

This is my first AmazonBasics product that Ive purchased, and I had my doubts at first. The pricing was too good to be true when compared to all the storage that the product description mentions, or so I thought. This is one of my favorite photography backpacks Ive tested out, so why the 4 star rating? It lacks in the laptop and accessories storage areas. When I load up my Canon 7D Mark II, a couple of lenses, Rode Directional Mic and flashes, then add my 15.4 laptop and its power cord along with the wireless mouse, backup HDD, and camera accessories the bag starts to feel like its too far past its intended capacity. I feel as thought I either bring everything JUST in case I need it, but then the bag feels like it may explode. Or I only take the bare minimums for my laptop, bringing the feel of the bags capacity down to a manageable feel but risk leaving behind something (like the back up HDD) that I might actually need. I would definitely recommend the bag to a friend though, it may just be my own needs that are a little over demanding. Amazon basics FTW!

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.

I’m giving it a 5, but I’d probably give it a 4.75 if I could. That being said it’s been great thus far. It can hold a lot of gear and the moveable interior dividers are great. Lots of storage room. I’m not crazy about the waist straps and do wish they could be unbuckled or removed. I just hardly ever use them on any bag I own unless we’re doing some serious hiking. Making them removable would be fantastic. The fabric is a little cheap feeling. Not terribly cheap, but not too quality owner. It I didn’t expect that at this price point. Honestly, you’re going to be hard pressed to find a bag this good, that can carry this much At even double the price point. Amazon kinda rocked it. It holds my T7i and 3 lenses, along with charger, batteries, cords, cleaning kit etc etc with ease and has room to spare. The front inner pockets have plenty of room for miscellaneous items like phone chargers etc. The rear inner pocket holds an iPad Pro with ease and can carry a laptop. It is a large bag and was monstrous on my wife. However I love the fit on myself overall. Being a larger guy I’d like the fabric straps to be a touch wider. And maybe a side pocket for a small water jug. Other than that it’s a great bag.

Ive tried several photo backpacks with varying success, but this one is a gem! And for the price, it beats all the competition. I needed a pack for multiple long air trips to hold my camera & equipment, a couple of paperback books, a magazine or two, and maybe a candy bar. This was perfect and it fits fairly well on the floor of an airplane, under the seat. It did a great job on an African safari last month. It holds my big Sigma telephoto (150-500mm); my Canon 7D with Sigma 17-70mm attached; HoodMan loope; 3 cases for compact flash cards; 5 camera batteries; and extra lens caps & filters. It has a roomy section for a laptop, which I use for magazines and/or a light jacket. Theres also a front pocket for odds and ends. With 19 pounds of gear I also wanted a waste belt for additional support when walking, and that worked well also. (Im 6 2, and the straps are a tad short for me, but that was workable). Wow. For air travel, this thing really fits the bill. I was amazed at its quality for this price. Wow again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this DLSR bag! I have told every one of my friends who is a photographer about this bag and that they need to purchase it Originally I had the smaller version of this amazonbasics bag, but found I needed a bit more room for things when traveling via planes. I travel VERY frequently. In 2014 i flew 100 times alone. This bag is able to hold my big d800, 3 lenses tons of other accessories AND my macbook in it and costs less than $40!!! There are bags that cost two or even three as much that dont give you the ability to store a laptop and this has excellent build quality. Build in the fashion of a hiking pack it has hip straps which help take the weight off your shoulders and comes in very handy when going on lengthy walks or hikes with this bag loaded up (and trust me you can load it up, I easily carry 20+ lbs) camera gear alone in it. This isnt a bag built for the quickest of camera access, but when it comes to travel/ lugging all your equipment somewhere, this bag accomplishes that in spades. Build quality, storage capability, cost make this bag a no brainer purchase.

This bag seems well made and has plenty of room. Im currently carrying my 5D with 85mm lens and wireless transmitter attached, 2 YN560 speed lights, light dome, 50mm lens with hood, batteries and chargers, filters in a pouch, cables, more filters, lens cleaning kit, more wireless transmitters, some crappy wide angle converter Ive never used but I swear I might one day, more batteries and many small knick knacks. Ive put my smaller tripod on the side of it and I have had a second smaller body in there too. It could hold a lot more. It also fits my 17 laptop and charger just fine. Now, its great that it can hold all of this but it is definitely heavy with everything in it. This isnt the backpack to take on a family trip to the zoo. This backpack is for those people who need everything youve ever owned in one place because if I dont bring that one filter Ive used twice it could be a catastrophe type of people, which is me and I love it. Oh I forgot to add why I gave it four stars instead of five. Although the construction seems sturdy and theres plenty of padding, just recently after only using it for about a month the the little inside tab of fabric that was covering the zipper pull just came right off when I lifted it up. It doesnt really make much of difference I just expected everything to stay intact for longer.

I bought this bag 4 years ago with some hesitation. I thought because of the price it couldnt possibly be as good as other name-brand bags Ive owned. Well since then Ive taken this bag on dozens of trips, both domestic and international, and Id buy it again in a heartbeat. Ive been on long hikes (well, long for me, 5-10 miles) with it fully loaded and its just as comfortable and functional as packs that cost 4 times as much. The only problem Ive had is the velcro on the side pockets is starting to come loose, but it hasnt failed yet. The rest of the bag is extremely durable and well made. I love the orange interior (makes it so much easer to find black camera bits) and the pockets and dividers are adequate for my kit, which is usually 1 body, 4 lenses, 2 speedlights, etc. The tripod straps on the side are sturdy enough that I never worry about strapping my large tripod to it. Finally, I like that the bag is black and nondescript. Nothing says, please rob me! Im carrying thousands of dollars worth of camera gear, like a brightly colored LowePro bag. I highly recommend this bag for both pros and hobbyists.
