    Im happy with this camera bag. The cushioned walls are soft but supportive. The removable straps and mini-walls inside the bag make it nicely customizable, and the layout of the pockets and such are useful. I havent had the bag long, but Ive used it on some long shoots and one long vacation, and there are no tears or undone seems -- so far. The construction seems solid, overall. Im not thrilled with the tripod straps on the side. The pocket below the straps -- which some people use to stick a tripod leg into when carrying the tripod alongside the bag -- does not work for my large tripod, so I have to rely on the straps/clips to keep the tripod in place. In hindsight, I think a bag that carries the tripod below the bag is more secure and balanced. I also wish that some of the additional straps (like the large strap that wraps around my stomach) were removable. But overall, Im happy with the bag, especially at this price point.

    I got the orange one. Its built as good as anything else Ive used. It fits my Canon 650D, and 5~6 lenses and a flash however I want quite well. Ive loaded it with heavy `L telephotos (70-200 F4L) and heavy Tokina wide angle lenses (11-16 F2.8) as well as several primes and it was heavy, but it held fine and I didnt have anything shuffle while I hiked. The front has pockets for accessories. The middle is the main storage for gear. The rear has a slot for a laptop but I use it for waterproof stuff, towels, gloves, hats, etc. I dont think you want a hard laptop/tablet on your back, behind your heavy lenses. Its not waterproof, but comes with a water resistant cover that you can fit over it if youre out in the rain and this works well. Ultimately it does the job, is built well, protects my stuff and is actually comfortable. Zippers are well made and strong. Cant go wrong for this price. The fact that it says Amazon on it instead of Canon is also nice, less people stare at it knowing what it is and think its just a backpack and not a storage bag with $5k+ of equipment.

    Great 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.

    This 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.

    So if youre looking at a bag in this price range, youre not putting a $7000 camera in it, right? So lets nuts and bolts this. Definitely plenty of room in here for all the extras that someone who is a casual photographer might have. I got this pack in a bundle with a Canon T5, and it fits great with two lenses and plenty more. Ive pushed and pulled on it, and the quality of the one I got seems great. Love the flexibility of the dividers on the inside. If its not evident from the picture, you can configure it to have separate compartments for pretty much any fragile bits you might be taking with you. Also, and this is VERY important for someone like me, the orange looks good. My camera is not a source of income, its a hobby, a fun toy basically, and I want accesories that look good. This fits the bill, making me look and feel more professional than I am, without feeling like Im being too full of myself. Im not so in love with orange and black that Im going to run out and buy an Oklahoma State jersey, but its definitely better than boring black and grey. Highly recommend.

    This is a great camera bag for the beginning to intermediate photographer for the price, features & durability. The bright orange interior makes it easy to find camera equipment & accessories. My only suggestions would be to reconfigure the strap setup.. they are really long, and the belt isn’t necessarily something you need to use on a daily basis, and would be better served as an option (like the interior colors are) or a removable accessory. I would also recommend a different zipper/fastening system because these zippers tend to come undone on their own if they’re left at the top of the bag if the bag is full and the internal weight distribution isn’t very balanced while you just walk around. I love how much this bag can hold, and for the price, it’s a no-brainer. You will look at every camera bag differently after owning one of these and using it every day.

    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.

    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!

    I only have a small camera bag to compare this to, but this is awesome for my first big bag. The main compartment dividers are fully customizable, I reversed my so the camera body is at the top instead the bottom, however, be aware that by inverting the dividers the top of the bag is shallower than the bottom, the dividers will be slightly taller than the bag body. So far, it has worked great, I carry a Canon T3i, 18-55 lens, 55-250 lens, SD cards, batteries, charger, filters, and a few other odds and ends. I havent tried putting my notebook in it yet, but I believe it will fit with room to spare. The straps on the side are nice for securing your tripod, keeps it from having to be hand carried. I can already see that I will probably outgrow this bag rather quickly with acquiring more gear, but who knows, I may just buy another and divide the gear into shoot specific bags. Great product so far, Ill revisit this review if I come across any problems. P.S. It also comes with a slip-on rain cover.
