AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

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.

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!!!!

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.

Not for the tall and slim (65 205 for reference). To get the hip straps to reach my hips I have to let out so much slack in the shoulder straps it puts the chest strap at around my collarbone (about 6+inches higher than its optimal location), at which point I have to cinch the chest adjuster as tight as it will go. I have a slightly long torso for my size so you might be safe up to 66 or 67, but any further and you have to chose between using either the chest strap or the waist strap. It wouldnt be hard to fix just add an extra 4 to 5 inches of padding/length to the shoulder straps, problem solved. Out side of that it appears to be quite rugged, albeit no frills. The dividers on the interior seem to hold pretty fast and are completely repositionable and removable. All that remains is to see how it holds up to daily use.

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.

I dont think you can do better for your money for a backpack of this size. This is a big backpack and can accommodate a lot of equipment. The main compartment comfortably carries a Nikon D810 with the extra battery grip and mounted 24-70mm lens, a 14-24mm lens, a 70-200mm lens, a 105mm Micro (Macro) lens, an SB-910 speedlight (with accessories), and a couple small accessories such as a wireless remote. All of the glass is f2.8 so its fairly big and needs plenty of space. The large front pocket carries a 15 USB 3.0 cable (for tethering), a wired remote, spare batteries, lens filters, a note pad, a pen, and a few other minor items. The other large pocket near the shoulder straps carries a 12 tablet and case along with some documents and manuals (Ive limited the manuals that I might carry because electronic copies are available that are loaded on the tablet). The side straps work fine to carry a monopod; but, I find a full-sized tripod is a bit much. The padding is excellent and protects the equipment nicely. Ive been quite comfortable using this backpack for travel and for carrying into the field on shoots (although, sometimes I dont need all the stuff and can make it a bit lighter). I would definitely buy this backpack again and strongly recommend it.

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!

Ive had two of these in a row since 2018. Backpack itself is great. But the zipper puller (the part you grip) keeps breaking off. I had two break off on the first one within a couple of years, and now on my second one the pullers broke off again within a year. They need to fix this one issue. The metal should be changed.

Wow; I just got back from hauling this bag around South America and Antarctica for 3 weeks, and it is fantastic. I wanted something that would hold my camera equipment, work as a carry on, and not be uncomfortable. This bag was great on all fronts. The large opening has nice padding for your camera and related equipment. It is a little annoying that you have to lay the bag down and open it flat to pick out an item, but this still worked fine for me. I was also able to put in a ton of stuff that I wanted safe in my carry-on using the front and back pouches. The back pouch was great for tablets, books, papers, etc. that are tall and skinny. The front pouch has great dividers in it to hold onto smaller items in an organized fashion. There are also a couple side pouches, which I used mainly for cords. I was hopeful that they might hold a water bottle, but they are a bit small for that. I did not use the tripod holders, but it is a feature as well. The bag was very comfortable. Many bags exacerbate a shoulder condition I have, but this one, with its waist and chest straps and lots of cushioning, did not hurt to wear. A rain cover is included which will cover the part of the bag that isnt on your back. It was nice to know that I had this, although I didnt find it very practical to use for my purposes. The bag seems sturdy, and held up well. I expect to be able to use it for many years to come. The best thing about this bag is that you get all of this for such a fantastic price. Other similar bags seemed to cost significantly more. I was very happy with my choice to get this one.

Ive had this bag for about 4 years. It gets pretty loaded and gets pretty heavy with all my gear. The zipper tags are weak and I replaced one of them and the other is in danger of snapping at any moment for the last year. I traveled a lot with this bag, took it on a few flights and use it for most weekends. Unfortunately the zipper started to come apart and I have to let it go. Im trying to find a bag that can hold a little more, but I got more into this than some larger bags can carry. The downfall is the zippers and that it started to tear and it gets dirty pretty easily. Again I put it through a lot of work, and for the price it did way more than I expected it to.
