Premium Quality Bag at an Affordable Price!
I love this bag! For a relatively cheap and affordable camera bag, this one is brilliant. It's super ergonomic and comfortable to wear, the straps really help to correct your posture and lighten the load. Inside the bag, there is plenty of space for your camera gear, and when I went to Morocco, this was the only bit of luggage I took with me, and it was able to carry my main camera gear as well as all of my clothes and other assorted items I had with me for the trip. The tripod straps in the side are extremely useful for carrying a tripod, but if your bag is empty, you may want to consider putting slightly heavier items in the opposite side of the bag to counter the weight. Not a big issue, just a small thing to note that may affect some user's experience. For me I often don't fill up this bag to the max, but I love the space it offers and as the dividers are reconfigurable/removable, it allows you to easily make it work specifically for your use case scenario. There is also a laptop compartment, this feels fairly snug, so your laptop won't go shaking around in there, but still enough space for slightly thicker laptops. For a photographer that loves to carry lots of gear with them, this so the perfect bag on a budget! I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was made and you really get a great quality bag for a very low (in terms of professional camera bags) price. The zips are solid metal and the fabric is thick! The surface of the bag seems like it could withstand some rain but it does come with a waterproof cover which does what it's supposed to. There is also a smaller front section in which you can house all of your smaller accessories such as filters, data storage devices, pens, cleaning equipment for your camera and whatever else dots in there. In summary, it's a brilliant bag and considering the price compared to some more premium options, this bag pretty much has it all. You should note though, it is quite big; it fits into most hand luggage requirements, but on day to day travels some people may find it it a bit big. Personally, I quite like the size and it means I always have space for my gear.

Cavernous backpack that's outstanding value for money
Let's get the most important part of the review out of the way before going into the detail... this product is SUPERB!I have spent what feels like an eternity researching camera backpacks. I was surprised by the vast choice, the huge price range and the variable quality. It took some time to narrow down my choice, which involved looking at several other websites (in addition to Amazon), and also visiting three retail outlets. On the store visits I was generally disappointed at the size of the backpacks available, as they looked to be far smaller than I'd imagined following my online research. Those that were suitable for my needs in terms of size were beyond my budget.I thought I'd found the perfect backpack from another manufacturer, but on checking the dimensions it was just a touch too big to be accepted as hand luggage by the budget airlines and I couldn't take the chance.I looked at the AmazonBasics backpack several times, but tended to ignore it as I couldn't believe it would be a good product at such a low price. However, with Amazon's returns policy, it was, as they say, a 'no brainer'. I am so pleased I bought it! This backpack is cavernous and well made. Even the packaging it came in was beyond my expectations.Now on to what you're really interested in:The main compartment comfortably holds my gear. Not professional equipment, but there's still a lot of value there when added up...Two camera bodies (Canon EOS 600D and Canon EOS 50D)Five lenses (including a zoom lens attached to the 600D)Lens hoodsTwo chargers for the camerasTwo spare batteriesTwo remote shutter releasesLaptop chargerLaptop mouseAll of this in just the main compartment and I could easily have added more batteries and another charger if I wanted to without it bursting at the seams.The velcro inserts are brilliant making it easy to put all of my gear in the case exactly as I wanted it and very secure. Two velcro straps give that extra bit of protection from stopping anything rolling around.The front compartment easily housed my Neewer reflector (which was a pleasant surprise) and there are several pockets and flaps for further accessories (leads, batteries, filters, etc) leaving plenty of space for a tablet too.My 15" laptop in its neoprene case slotted into the well-padded laptop compartment easily. I would guess a 17" laptop (without a case) would fit too at a push.On the outside, the adjustable shoulder straps are strong and well-padded as is the panel at the back, making it comfortable to carry. There is also a padded strap to fit across your waiste to distribute the weight of the backpack more evenly.A tripod or monopod can be strapped to the side. In addition, there are two pockets with velco flaps (one of which contains the rain cover) and a stong handle on the top.There is of course a downside to the bag. If you fill it, like I do, it is heavy. With all of the gear described, as shown in the photos, it weighs 9.1kg. Having said that, one of the budget airlines I use has a maximum hand luggage allowance of up to 10kg, so it's well within range.Conclusion:If you've got a lot of gear, this backpack really is superb. Buy with confidence!

Excellent Budget Option - Hats off to Amazon basics
Greetings!I am posting this review after few days of tour. So this is what I have felt:Disclaimer: My review is based on its performance considering the budget price range of ₹ 3000 in my point of view.Built and feel:•Great and comfortable.•Its straps are padded which makes it comfortable to carry the bag.•zippers were smooth and trustworthy.•Waist band and shouldersl band helps alot while climbing.•I have carried it continuously for 3-4 hours before taking rest in 4 days of tour.• It comes with Rain Cover inside(See the picture). It is quite a handy option in case of light rain to cover-up the bag, no need to run for plastic bags.Size:•It can easily fit 2 dslrs with quite a few accesories. If you use flashes and more lenses it can fit only 1 camera body.•I have carried 1 dslr + 2 lenses + camera charger + Power bank + mobile charger + earphones.Pockets and Compartments:• Main camera compartment is quite well designed. It is adjustable using velcro.• Laptop compartment can fit 15.6 inch laptop, but not with great comfort.• Front compartment can carry cords, cables, keys, documents, pens, memory cards. It cannot hold bulky items.•Side pockets are small but can hold small items like cables and keys.• Tripod holder is quite useful it is adjustable according to the size of tripod.Final Verdict:I am very happy with my investment, as it fulfills my needs. Its a bag for semi professionals or beginners. I would give it 8.5/10 stars.

Damn good bag for a damn good price
Ordered this for an upgrade for me from a canon sling bag.First impressions: - very spacey, well(ish, will address that later) laid out- quality materials-very comfortable to wearPros- doesn't scream THIS IS A CAMERA BAG!!!!!!!!!!! STEAL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's much more subtle - comes with a rain cover- very spacey (fits all my gear plus more)- interior is customizable (ish, see cons)- very good value for the price, that being said, with most things you do get what you pay for. This, I feel is an exception.- very comfortable, will fit many body sizes (I'm 6'3)Cons/Things I would change-slight change to the layout on the inside: The way it is laid out it has your camera body on the very bottom which concerns me if one was to drop the bag, the camera body would be taking some of that impact versus if it was at the top. I worked around it and took one of the dividers and put it between the camera body and the bottom of the bag. - the central dividers are contoured to the bag, which is slimmer at the top and thicker at the bottom so it makes it impossible to flip the layout around like I tried to do to change where the camera body sat.- the Velcro strips shed small hairs of plastic- The waist straps aren't removable, I would have preferred they were, but that's just me.- the nylon? covering the front pocket for papers and whatnot feels thin and prone to tearing. I will update if they do tear/fail through light/medium use- no dedicated SD card pocket, slot, etc-no quick access to camera body in current layout. that being said, probably easily fixed if one is creative enoughOVERALL-Damn good bag for a damn good price-if you're on the fence, buy it. seriously. you won't be sorry. The cons may seem to outweigh the pros but that's me being honest.If I encounter any issues I will update this. Until then, 5 STARS BABY!

価格不相応!良い意味で!
この価格でこの容量とこの配置、なかなか無いです。カメラ収納もかなり出来ます。それとPCを2台必ず持つのでPCスペースが大きく更に背中側に無いとめちゃくちゃ重く感じるのでそれは絶対です。多くのカメラリュックが背中とは逆の外側にPCスペースが配置してあるので非常に重く感じ使えなかったですが、コレはめちゃくちゃベストです。あとはもう少し剛性があればなと言った所です。でも価格に対してめちゃくちゃちゃんとしてるカメラリュックだと思います!

THIS PACK REALLY SURPRISED ME - GREAT VALUE, TONS OF ROOM
I rarely post product reviews....but I promised myself that if this pack held up on my trip then I would have to post about it. So here I am. Just purchased and used this pack for a one-month trip to Australia/NZ in Feb. I was definitely skeptical of the durability because the price was so great....but now that I'm back from my trip I can confidently state that this is an incredible value and I can easily give this a 5-star rating!!SPACE: If you are like me, you want to know first and foremost what can it fit. Well, I packed this thing to the rim with all of my electronics including a Mavic Drone, 15" Mac Laptop, iPad Pro 12.9" in a case with a Apple Pencil, Nikon 360 Cam, Go Pro Hero 5, 2 iPhones, Drone Controller, 2 Drone Batteries, 2 Drone Chargers, 2 extra Go Pro Batteries & Charger, 2 extra 360 Cam Batteries and Charger, 4 Selfie Sticks, 1 Andoer Pistol Grip Cam Mount, several Go Pro accessories including chest mount, helmet mounts, dash mount, charging cables for ALL of the items listed above including my laptop adaptor, a 3" x 7" x 12" foam/zipper case to protect some of the small gear, some extra memory cards and finally a very solid, 6lb (24") Velbon W-Lift Tripod strapped to the outside.TOTAL WEIGHT: I weighed this once before I left and I believe I was just under 30lbs.PROTECTION: With a drone packed in here, I was definitely concerned about the pack holding up. Well, I can tell you the padded walls did their job. They are extremely sturdy and because they are velcro I was able to customize them to fit perfectly around the drone and other gear. Note: The pack was definitely squished with a lot of other gear. But I took care not to place it under 50lb+ suitcases. Again, I'm not a product tester and I wasn't looking to TEST the capability.DURABILITY: Not one single rip, tear or even the sound of a tear occurred. And again, I was skeptical so I was definitely expecting something to give out. I did not baby this thing...as I was in rain (sometimes heavy), muddy jungle trails, sandy beaches, direct sun, you name it. It did get some mud on it...but wiped away once it dried and you'd never even know it had touched mud. I was worried about the high temps (85-95F + high humidy) especially in the direct sun, but...every time I opened this bag...my gear felt cool. So, an unexpected surprise. Note: I did NOT use the rain cover for this thing and water never leaked in.....however I would definitely utilize it if you know rain is coming. The rain surprised me a few times....and I stressed out when the heavy rains hit us....but I was pleasantly surprised that everything inside stayed dry when I got back to my car. Note: I did not have this in heavy rain for more than about 10-15 minutes at a time. Another side note: I carried this many different ways, I used the handle up top, I used one strap over my shoulder, and other times I used the full two straps and the buckle around my torso. So, all of the main components were definitely put to the test. Again, I'm still rather impressed that nothing ripped.USAGE: I used this first and foremost as a carry-on. 6 total flights. I transported it to every single location, every single day and yes, I did small hikes with it as well. All told I was on this adventure for the entire month of Feb...and went to over 20+ different locations including remote, sandy Islands in GBR, picturesque trails and beaches in AU/NZ, river bungee jumping, mountain luging, light tropical jungle hikes (no major ascents), full day beach trips, farm stays, big city hikes....this thing never left my side.COMFORT: I carried around all day and the only time it got uncomfortable was when I had it draped over one shoulder for long periods. The full weight of the pack on one shoulder I think was a bit too much. So, I simply put on both straps and it instantly fixed the comfort issue. Keep in mind, while I was constantly moving every single day, this was not used as a rough "hiking pack" for long, arduous, high-ascending hikes. It was used for everyday transportation....as we moved from location to location. I carried water in the outside pockets a few times....and of course it did meet with rocks, mud, sand, etc......but I did NOT abuse it or throw it around for obvious reasons.FINAL THOUGHTS: OK, for those wondering why I would pack so much expensive gear in such a cheap case...well, I was originally trying to purchase a more expensive Manfrotto pack from a guy on craigslist...but when too much time went by between communications, I purchased this as my backup in case the deal fell through. Once I received it and packed it up....I ended up deciding to just roll with it. I was already blowing so much money on other pieces of the trip.....so, it felt nice to finally save a little money for a change. And for the money...I just don't see how you can beat it. It definitely exceeded my expectations. This was easily the best valued purchase I made. Hopefully you have a similar experience.

MÁS DE LO QUE ESPERAS!!!
1.- Es una mochila super cómoda para llevar, la verdad es que vale mucho la pena.2.- Por lo que vale REALMENTE VAAAALEEE LA PENA, esta realmente enorme y espaciosa si ya cuentas con el Amazon Basic Briefcase (REALMENTE UTIL) le cabe a la perfección y sin problemas en el compartimiento de utensilios y el compartimiento para lap ni que decir, una MacBookPro Retina de 13' cabe y le sobra espacio, el único inconveniente ahí es que se sacude la Mac pero con laps mas grandes queda perfecto...3.- El mas importante, compartimiento de cámara, LO MEJOR! sin duda alguna, le caben aproximadamente 1/2 lentes zoom (acostados) y 3/4 lentes prime (puestos parados) y sobran compartimientos, si tienes una cámara mirrorless es mejor pues ocupa menos espacio y puedes meter cargador de baterías o minitripie como el Manfrotto PIXI MINI o PIXIEVO al igual que el flash y en verdad SOBRA ESPACIO!!! como para poner una gopro (en mi caso) o algún otro aditamento como el protector de lluvia y/o un micro externo.4.- NO LO DICE, PERO INCLUYE EL PROTECTOR DE LLUVIA!, al principio no sabia si era verdad, al abrirlo me encontré que estaba en el compartimiento de lap, el inconveniente es al momento de poner el tripie a un costado el protector de lluvia no lo cubre pero esta de más...5.- SEGURIDAD!!!! Trae la correa de cintura, un poco grande si eres una persona delgada pero nada que incomode y las hombreras trae el seguro lo cual esta perfecto, cada hombrera trae unos pequeños bolsillos los cuales pueden servir para poner algo, en mi caso una gopro...6.- La mochila en si, es super ligera pero al momento de llenarla si se siente pesada pero firme y resistente mas que nada, la he podido llenar con casi todo lo anterior y sin problema alguno.Realmente por el costo de $700/800 (dependiendo) vale demasiado la pena, comparándolo con mochilas Manfrotto, LowePro, NatGeo, etc., de esas especificaciones y/o que permitan llevar casi todo ese equipo los precios son demasiado elevados, es una mochila que no se ve mal y sobretodo al ser lisa y negra pasa desapercibida y discreta, el tamaño puede ser un inconveniente si se usa en lugares con mucha gente pero sin duda, COMPRALA NO TE ARREPENTIRAS!!Para finalizar, si viajas ya sea seguido o no, está de más decir que es útil pues permite llevar todo el equipo con seguridad y protección.PD: El envio si fue un poco tardado pero vamos, $700 por esta mochila a quien le importa esperar de 2 a 3 semanas? :)
