AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

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 never bought an item like this from a brand like Amazon. The bag is very well built and carries a lot of equipment. So far I have taken in on many trips and it has held up to the different terrains and abuse with no noticeable damage to the bag. Ive dragged it on the floor and on dirt many times (I hike a lot) and all my equipment inside dont suffer any damage at all. The price is great and Im really happy with it. I can carry my Canon 5D and two lenses with no issues and I still have room for other things such as flashes and accessories. The bag is well built and it has plenty of space inside to arrange all your needs. I wish it had a tripod holder on the front of the bag instead of the side. At times the weight of the pod tilts the camera to the side and it throws it off balance. So far Im happy with my purchase and for the price, I would get one for every day.

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.

Im going to sum this up right off the bat. I LOVE this bag. It fits my needs perfectly. I was looking for something to use for travelling on an airplane. I had my T3i DSLR camera that I wanted to take, a laptop that I wanted to take, and some other small electronics that I wanted to take. I didnt really want to pack the laptop or the camera in checked bags, but the camera bag I had and the laptop bag would have been both of my carry on bags, and I wouldnt have been able to take the extra one for my tablet and phone and such. I had a pretty decent camera backpack, but what I now was in need of was a backpack that held my camera and accessories along with my laptop. I found the AmazonBasics bag, and after having good experiences with Basics products in the past,, I didnt hesitate to order it right away. It arrived quickly in a nice box with the backpack itself wrapped in plastic. It was easy to open and it got me into inspecting the backpack immediately. The first thing I noticed was that fit and finish on the bag is pretty top quality. I actually work in an airport, so I see a variety of bags and backpacks, from the cheapest of the cheap to the nicest of the nice. This bag easily fits in with the other quality backpacks that Ive come across in my work. As the name states, its very Basic looking, but to me thats a good thing. When using something for travel, the less it sticks out the better in my opinion. The straps are nicely padded. The chest strap works great, and the waist belt is very nice as well. There are small pockets on the outside of the bag, and those could be used for just about anything really. Inside of the back most opening is a spot to hold all of your small things. Ive got cords, memory cards, and manuals in there right now. Theres also a cleaning kit in there. It all fits really well, and theres still plenty of room for other stuff to go in there. In the main compartment, there are a ton of options for how to lay it out. I wont really get into how I set mine up, I will just say that the camera is at the bottom of the pack and I feel its supported and cushioned very well. The inside of the pack is nice and soft, with many hook and loop dividers that can be moved to just about however you want them to be moved. My pack currently has in it: T3i The higher zoom kit T3i lens Hotshoe flash Battery grip Five batteries, with two each in small plastic boxes for better storage Chargers and cords Lens filters GoPro Hero 3 Black GoPro waterproof case GoPro cords With all of that in there, I still have room for plenty to fit in the camera compartment. Im really happy with the way everything fits in the bag with plenty of room to spare. I also was easily able to fit my Asus laptop in the bag, as there is a separate pocket that goes right up against your back that the laptop goes in. I had no problems getting the computer in and the zipper secured with the bag. The bag also has a spot on the side to mount a tripod. I used those straps while at an art event recently for several hours, and it worked like a charm. You dont even notice the tripod is there, but when you have use for it, its easy to get it off, get your shot, then get it back on the pack. With all of that stuff in it, including the tripod on the side, the backpack can be a bit heavy...but the ergonomics of the bag allow you to wear the weight well. Its supported where you want it supported based on how you tighten up straps and belts. It also easily fits in the overhead storage bin on a plane so you can use it as a carryon bag and not worry about it. I wanted to also note that I put my Peak Designs Camera Clip on the left shoulder strap. The strap supports the device very well, and having my camera at the ready whenever I need it is great. In short, I really like this backpack. Im glad I got it. If youre looking for a bag to hold camera equipment and a laptop, go for it!!

Comfortable, versatile, you can attach your tripod to the side, fits everything I need. The main compartment has adjustable walls that are velcro, for a myriad of arrangements. Ive got the camera body, two lenses, the lens that came with the camera, and room for me to stick my wallet and my little makeup bag in there. Theres a section in the front with little pockets in there and a place to clip your keys, plus a separate compartment for my laptop (I have a Macbook Pro 13, and theres probably enough room in there for a 17 computer, and it keeps the computer padded and safe. Best part? Its ORANGE inside. Okay, I hate orange, but the bright orange makes it so easy to find stuff inside. Ladies, you know the black hole that your purse is, when the lining is black? Yeah, thats not an issue with this bag. Seems well made. No Canon or Nikon logo on the outside to signal thieves, in fact, most people wouldnt even know its a camera bag. Cons? Its pretty darn big. And with the padded sides, its fairly rigid (as it should be), so its not easy to store if you dont have the space for it. Im pretty happy with it. Worth the price.

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.

Overall, I am so content with this purchase. I needed something to hold my Canon camera and the multitude of accessories that came with it (from Amazon). It holds everything and I still have room for other stuff. I put it on and adjusted all of the straps to make it fit snug but comfortable across the chest and waist. I really like those features. The extra strap material is not a big deal because I can find a way to take care of that. I also like versatility in anything I buy so this is great! I can take all of the Velcro out if I need to use it as a backpack and it holds my 16+ laptop - which is not easy to find in a camera backpack. I like the sturdy material and the rain cover. There are only 2 things I wish it had, but are not deal-breakers: zipper handles with holes for small locks and a pocket on the side for a water/thermal bottle. I can use zip-ties and a safety pin in the side pocket to undo them (as seen on a 5-minute craft video) if I am traveling somewhere I need extra security and I can buy a bottle that can attach to one of the front strap loops- but that is not ideal, especially for a female.
