AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

The quality is about 4-4.5 star quality, but for the same price you cannot find a bag similar with as many features. Yes, manfrotto or vanguard bags are made better and are a little stiffer, this bag is a great tradeoff, saving around 60$. One side has 2 tripod straps with clips. At times the top strap becomes loose due to the inevitable loosening angle it has to be in. I dont find this to be too much of a problem because now for piece of mind i put the top strap through the legs of the tripod.I have a 13 macbook and there is plenty of room in the laptop slot. It looks like it could hold a 15 comfortably, but not too sure how tight a 17 would be. I love that it comes with a rain cover, its not outstanding, but like i said for the money you are getting a great value. There are plenty of adjustable pieces inside, there are literally thousands of difference setups you can have. Although i love that feature, and the orange, i wish the inside padding was a little more stiff. It doest present a problem but it is just a noticeable difference in quality compared to that of a more expensive bag such as a manfrotto bag. I am 511 160 and if the bag was any bigger it would be too big for me, and when the bag is full it can be heavy. That being said i wouldnt recommend this bag to someone too much smaller than me. This bag comes with a chest strap, waist straps, and hip pads along the waist straps. Great for hiking to the perfect spot. The straps have a lot of slack in them which I felt was a negative, but hindsight it is very versatile because bigger people could use the straps no problem, and it comes with elastic bands on the straps to fold the slack into. Like i said the quality isnt the absolute best, but it suffices for my photography needs, holds all my camera equipment plus more, and saves me a ton of money i could put towards other camera gear. Hats off to AmazonBasics for making a very nice bag for a great price.

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.

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!

Ive owned a ton of camera bags, and this one is pretty dang great. 1. The bag itself is sturdy, well padded, nothing cheap about it. I love the zippers, stitching, straps and handles. Seems exceptionally well made. 2. The first outer pocket has plenty of storage for many items, I keep my extra battery, memory cards, business cards, cables, pens, etc in this area. The zippered section is quite secure and theft resistant. 3. The customizable padded interior section is quite roomy, I keep my Canon 5d Mark II with a 75 - 300mm lens in it with plenty of room, plus three additional lenses, and 2 Speedlights, as well as my wireless trigger/receiver system and my battery charger in this area easily. 4. There is a back area that seems substantially padded and large enough to carry a 17 laptop, though I have not used it as that is just too much weight for me on a regular basis. In this area is a rain cover for the bag that is handy and nice to have. 5. There is a side pocket and side straps for a tripod or other gear i havent had to use yet. This backpack carries a lot of gear for its size. Its not huge. I am about 54 and it fits comfortably on my back. My husband it 62 and this feels small on him, but most everything does at his size. Its a great deal at its price. Id buy it again.

Just received this bag today, on time, as promised. I selected this backpack bag for a new camera purchase and I didnt want to spend a fortune on it. This bag is designed to have the camera at the bottom, not at the top (I thought I ordered the bag with the camera positioned at the top, not the bottom, but I made the mistake.) The bag is slightly deeper at the bottom than the top and the adjustable dividers inside are tapered to align with the bag. Reversing the dividers to position the camera at the top, for easy access, works. The front flap is well padded, so I dont worry about the camera sitting above the dividers. The straps are securely attached by being sewn around the outside and across forming an x in a square. Material feels comparable in quality to my much more costly REI backpack that Ive used nearly daily since 2005. The chest and waist straps are amble size and the bag rides comfortably on the shoulders.The curved shoulder straps add to the comfort and I think the external padding on the back will make it nice on a hike. Unfortunately, the bag is not waterproof, but does come with a rainhood. The tapered dividers and lack of waterproofing are the reasons I gave it 4 stars. If it falls apart on the first trip, Ill let you know.

This bag was the best value for the price when I bought it. Since then it has far surpassed my expectations. I have loaded 1 digital SLR, 1 70-210, 1 18-55 and 1 28-90 lenses, 1 430 EZ Flash (about the same size as the 70-210 lens), 1 battery charger, 3 Sata external USB Drives, camera cables, IR Mouse, 4 AA batteries, the laptop charger and a Remington shaver w/charger in the main storage area. The front compartment held the iPad, 3 ft extension cable, spare memory cards, all cables for my phone, manual for the EOS, spare USB cables, my wallet, and plane tickets. The laptop area held an Acer T3 (17 laptop). The whole thing was easy to go through screening with and fit in the overhead with no issues. I used the side straps to hold my rolled coat and blanket. It weighed in around 45lbs when done. The padded straps never were uncomfortable. The pack belt was nice when going through multiple concourses because it shifted the weight to my hips and off my shoulders. The only suggestions I have are as follows: 1) it needs more dividers in the main area. I used the ones from my existing camera bag to supplement. 2) The laptop storage area is not really designed for a large 17 laptop. The corners of mine barely zip around leaving those corners vulnerable to impacts. Also, the bottom needs a thick pad and corner padding. I have to be careful how I set the bag down to compensate and prevent damage to my laptop. I was worried about the zippers going around the laptop corners so tightly but so far so good. I give this an 8.5 out of 10. Yes, if there was not one that fit my laptop better I would buy this one again and I recommend it to people with smaller laptops. For my classes I pulled out the center dividers and it held a full semester of school books just fine. Lastly it is a great weekend bag for carrying clothes.

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.***

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 gave the item 4 stars HOWEVER..... I purchased this backpack for an upcoming trip. After unpacking ans inspecting it, I spent several hours trying to configure it to hold my equipment - without success. The product is well made and otherwise I would rate it 5-stars. The item dimensions are stated as 18 x 9 x 13.2 inches. The laptop compartment easily holds a Macbook Air, an iPad and has room for adapters and cables. The front accessory compartment will hold batteries, filters and such. HOWEVER, the camera compartment dimensions are not stated. The specifications say the camera compartment will accomodate 2 DSLR bodies and 3-4 lenses plus accessories. I found the depth of the compartment to be a big factor. I carry 2 DSLR bodies: Nikon D5100 and Nikon D7100. I carry 4 lenses: Nikon 35mm; 18-200; 70-300; Sigma 15-30; Nikon SB-600 flash. What I found was that the camera compartment is 4.5 deep at the upper portion (top); 5 deep in the center; and 5.5 deep at the bottom. Three of my 4 lenses are > 5.5 long so they must be placed horizontal to the bottom of the bag. Configuring the bag this way makes it impossible (for me at least) to carry the 4 lenses, 2 bodies, the flash unit and items too big for the accessories compartment. Quite simply, I need a bbiger bag! SO...be careful to preconfigure your equipment requirements before buying this bag - I didnt!. It is a very good bag for the price, but just not right for me!

I use this for a 15 in laptop, a canon xti-3 with 3 lens as well as my 3D LX and games as well as some drawing stuff. I was able to take this on America Airlines as a carry on and slide it under my chair. I have also used it to carry my tripod and water bottle on the side where the clips are. I have taken on short hikes and I love it. Its very comfortable. The only thing I would say is make sure to put the zippers closed down on the bottom as during one of my flight changes I had to run from one side of PHX airport to the opposite side and luckly for me someone let me know that my backpack had opened up. It was the zipper/pocket that held the laptop and thankfully my laptop did not fall out but I realized I had closed the zippers (there are two) up at the top. It also has a waterproof cover which is great for the rain if your hiking because it covers up the zippers where water could get through. The padding for the camera gear is removeable and re-arrangealbe as well nicely padded I have no worries for putting all my gear in there and keeping it safe. I try to becareful but I am also a off roading buff and needed something durable to handle my not so gentle side. This backpak has fit all my needs and it was a great cost compared the the larger non laptop camera bag I bought from Tamarac which I loved!!!!
