AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

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.

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.

I use this as a general purpose backpack, not for carrying cameras. It is quite sturdy and has plenty of easily accessible space in the main compartment. The laptop goes separately in its own pocket. The smaller front compartment has less space, but has plenty of pockets for keeping things neatly organized. The side pockets could have been larger. I use the tripod fasteners to carry an umbrella. Overall a very good buy for about $15.

Really good for traveling. Customizable compartments.

Love this Backpack. Took it to Hawaii with me. I used it as my carry-on. The middle zipper compartment held my camera and lenses. It is very well cushioned. I did not have to worry about my camera and lenses knocking together. The front zipper contained my billfold and other needs for traveling. The back zipper compartment held my 15 computer. I have had issues before where my computer would not fit in carry-on bag. I was pleasantly surprised. One other feature of this backpack is that it comes with a rain cover. While hiking, I used it to cover my camera when we would walk into a little rain showers. The straps are nice and cushioned. There is a lower strap that fits around the waist that is also nicely cushioned. I am a smaller woman, 53 and was able to make the straps small enough for the backpack to ride comfortably on my back. The straps can go a whole lot larger, so could fit a larger man. Another feature is the side pockets, my license and room key went in there. I didnt have to fish around the main compartment to find them when I need them. There are straps on the side of the backpack that you can use to connect your tripod. There were comments about the quality of this backpack. I had no problems with anything tearing off. It was very secure when lifting it from the top handle. I know I could have spent a whole lot more for a camera backpack. All-in-all, it is a great value.

Fits my digital SLR camera, zoom lens, flash, lens hoods, filters, cleaning supplies, mini collapsible tripod, camera remote, camera charger, laptop charger, wireless mouse, spare laptop battery, laptop backup hard drive, all laptop and camera manuals and CDs, and the rain hood in the main compartment. The laptop goes in its compartment. The small outside pockets and separate briefcase-type compartment are empty, so theres still room for other items like cell phone, its charger, pens, earbuds, some papers, passport and wallet, and a few other small items. With all that, it is heavy, but thats expected, especially since my laptop is ancient and heavy. Straps have a large range of adjustment. Flexible partitioning allowed me to pack the camera, zoom lens, and flash near the top, for quicker acces to those more commonly used items when speed is needed. Good amount of padding to protect the gear. Combining laptop and camera makes perfect sense for taking and editing/displaying photos during or immediately after events and while traveling. The combination also saves one carry-on item when flying, which was my initial reason for buying it. Only slight issue is that the side-to side taper toward the top of the bag makes those corners of the laptop tight and hard to close the zipper around. A thinner, more modern laptop would likely alleviate this issue. Fantastic product for the price. Its new, so if I have durability issues, I will update this review.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!
