> 3 dayThis bag is gravy on potatoes! The thickly padded dividers can be easily moved to fit and snugly encase even my smallest item. I have my pocket camera, three lenses, camera body, chargers, connectors, guide book in the main compartment with plenty of protective space for whatever else I want to put in there. The outer body is very well padded, PLENTY of room to fit my Ipad Air (in its case), typing pad. It is located on the back part of the pack where the shoulder straps are. with extra padding for my back comfort. The hip strap is very comfortable! It came with a rain cover here in the desert It protects from the sand too. The canvas material is sturdy and the outer pockets expand, they are not just slits to try and stuff something in there. The tripod holder is not limited to a certain size, it has adjustable straps. You will not go wrong in adding this to your must have for containment list.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThis bag came as part of a package deal when I got my camera so I didnt have high expectations for it. I am not a photographer by any means, I am a web/graphic student interested in shooting my own stock photos. That being said, I do like that I am able to bring all my camera gear with me, and with the extra space in the padded compartment, I am able to fit a few extras since I do not have many lenses or the other gear that many photographers would normally carry. I am usually able to carry a binder with my pens/pencils and other drawing gear in the padded area as well as a small Wacom drawing tablet as well as my lunch and other charging cables since there is so much room. The padded laptop area fits my 13 macbook pro just fine with room for a sketchpad which is larger than my laptop. The accessories area is pretty small for me, but I carry a lot of gear. So for the days I am in school and have a lot to carry, it isnt really convenient, but if I am just going out shooting pictures, it is perfect enough to carry some cleaning items, extra cards and extra batteries. It is a VERY comfortable backpack. The padding on the straps as well as the back are nice. Also living near Seattle and going to school there, the included rain protector is a nice added touch. I probably would have gone with a more expensive backpack/camera bag, but since it came with my camera I tried it out and like it. I would probably buy this brand again, just in a different size.

> 3 dayThis is a great camera bag. There may be some higher quality bags out there, but definitely not for the price. SIZE: My 15 inch laptop goes in no problem. There are plenty of separate pockets for memory cards, queue cards, pens, pocket knives, etc. All of the slots are rearrangeable to some degree (really not many better variations that I can think of) and there are two additional straps included to help secure something extra if needed. As the setup comes, it snugly fits the 18-135mm in the lens sections, and fits my Canon T5i in the main slot with a tiny bit more wiggle room than I would hope, thats where I use the extra straps. The flap opens all the way so you can easily reach every compartment or leave it open sitting with the compartments facing upward. QUALITY: The zippers are very secure. Reminds me of something you would find on a tent because it doesnt look like the stitching will come loose with further use. The straps are secure. They are not over-sized, but not so small to where they will dig into the shoulders too much. The canvas seems to be good quality. I dont have any visible markings on it yet since but have mostly just been using it walking around parks, cities, etc. and throwing it around in my car. I imagine the fabric isnt indestructible, but great for what you pay. The bottom has some decent padding so I am not afraid of setting it down. The side walls and wall closest to your back are pretty much double layered because of the felt and canvas layers, but I would be careful that anything doesnt come down to hard on these portions or the wall of the bag that makes up the flap. (You cold always stuff the pockets for more padding, I suppose!) LOOKS: The backpack is pretty nondescript, which I think looks pretty professional and can be a benefit for blending in when needed. It retains its shape (pretty close to what you see in the pic) because of the compartment structure, so it definitely looks like a case of some sort rather than a normal backpack. The orange felt on the inside, while not the prettiest of colors, is important to me because it contrasts well with mostly black camera gear, so when you drop an SD card its a breeze seeing where it fell. Overall, great quality, strongest feature is the price and the safety/convenience it adds to my camera gear.

> 3 dayGreat camera bag at a great price. Two long and 5 short Velcro removable partitions plus two hold down Velcro straps to hold camera items safe and secure. Two outside Velcro-secured pouches. Two large zippered flat storage areas: The area located close to your back (shoulder strap(s) side) good for a laptop...probably 17 inch display size. The other large flat storage area, furthest from your back, has lots of pouches of varying sizes including a mesh-type pouch. A clip I believe for retaining a set of keys is located here. Lots of adjustments for the shoulder straps including waist straps. A couple of Velcro fastening straps on the outside of the bag will hold a light-weight tripod secure. The camera bag is relatively large and looks durable. The bag has not been used yet. Ive set the bag up for a DMC-G6 with 14-140mm lens attached, an HF-R600 with lens hood, two Zoom H1 recorders with shock-mounts attached (one with a ball-joint), bar with two 1/4-20 bolts (for mounting H1 plus HF-R600 side-by-side). A 72 inch tripod on the side of the bag. Hand hold or use the shoulder bag with a Magnus VT-350 tripod. Could even bring a 7 inch Viltrox monitor but with the battery removed (for HF-R600). Hope to use the camera bag soon. Also, a rain hood is included to make a more water resistant enclosure.

> 3 dayThis is the second Amazon Backpack that I purchased, I also own the smaller Amazon DSLR Backpack (no laptop) for over year and I am very familiar and please with that bag even though I took it to war a few times. for those wondering about the interior size of this bag, I can fit 2 full frame camera bodies with lenses attached (24-70 and 85mm 1.8) along the center line of the bag, I have a 70-200 2.8 and a 50 1.8 on one side and 2 flashes and a set of 4 radio trigger on the other size (you can easily put a small zoom in place of the radio triggers). The front pouch is also very useful and well padded and that where i stored my 7 set of 4 AAs batteries and 3 Nikon camera batteries and a host of other things. The Laptop pouch is huge and can easily swallow my 15 inch laptop. This is truly a lot of stuff and you probably shouldnt be carrying much more than that unless you have a rolling bag since the weight add up quick. I love the padding on the straps! This bag is much bigger than it appear in photos, at least to me so keep that in mind. Like I said in the above, this is my second Amazon bag and I was extremely please with the first one which was very reliable and been through a lot, I just wanted a bigger bag that can accommodate 2 full frame cameras and a little more room for lenses and equipment and this bag did just that!

> 3 dayLet me say off the bat, I love this backpack. I bought it for a cross-country vacation that was going to involve flying, and I bought it looking for something that would cut down on my number of bags. This pack safely carried my Canon T5i with 18-55mm and 55-150mm lenses, my 15 MacBook Pro, and related accessories across 4 flights, 2 countries, and over 2,000 miles. I will mention that if youre looking for something that will carry every piece of photography gear you own, or have you have multiple bodies or a particularly long lens (Id say 750mm is probably the longest Id put in here), then you might want to keep looking. But if you want something that will travel well and keep your gear safe, look no further. A couple general design comments (none of which impact the function of the bag, and I put here solely for your awareness and on the chance a product designer looks at these): - Despite the camera compartment being customizable, theres no good way to put it at the top of the bag. I understand the logic here (pad it as much as possible), but it would be a lot more convenient to not have to open the whole thing to pull the camera out for a quick shot, especially when flying through a thunderstorm... - The loops for a tripod or what have you on the side are great, but making one side a standard water bottle pocket would be great. - The waist straps are nice while hiking, but having a better way to stow them while moving around an airport or something when the pack is coming off and on a lot would be nice. Bottom line, though, none of that makes me regret my purchase, though, and I look forward to this backpack carry me through many future adventures.

> 3 dayThis 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.***

> 3 dayRecently, I purchased a new Canon 80D and Tamron 150-600 lens to take to Africa for a Once in a lifetime Safari trip. I spent weeks trying to find the right Camera Backpack that would not only fit the camera gear and the big Tamron lens, but would also carry all of the regular travel items that I would take with me on a trip like that.... THIS BACKPACK IS PERFECT! Not only does this backpack hold the two camera bodies, 4 lenses, tripod, and extra camera gear that I am taking to Africa; But, it also fit comfortably my laptop and iPad, several file folders, Bose headphones, sunglasses case, mouse, cords, batteries and snacks that I am going to need on the plane for the 30 hour journey. In addition to the great storage space, this backpack was only $40.00 and according to my teenage daughter, did not look big and bulky like the Manfroto Backpack I was comparing it too. The only downside that I found on this backpack was the hip straps could not be easily detached when you were not going to be using them. Otherwise, this was a perfect find for me.

> 3 dayThis 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.
