AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack (Orange)

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.

I dont think you can do better for your money for a backpack of this size. This is a big backpack and can accommodate a lot of equipment. The main compartment comfortably carries a Nikon D810 with the extra battery grip and mounted 24-70mm lens, a 14-24mm lens, a 70-200mm lens, a 105mm Micro (Macro) lens, an SB-910 speedlight (with accessories), and a couple small accessories such as a wireless remote. All of the glass is f2.8 so its fairly big and needs plenty of space. The large front pocket carries a 15 USB 3.0 cable (for tethering), a wired remote, spare batteries, lens filters, a note pad, a pen, and a few other minor items. The other large pocket near the shoulder straps carries a 12 tablet and case along with some documents and manuals (Ive limited the manuals that I might carry because electronic copies are available that are loaded on the tablet). The side straps work fine to carry a monopod; but, I find a full-sized tripod is a bit much. The padding is excellent and protects the equipment nicely. Ive been quite comfortable using this backpack for travel and for carrying into the field on shoots (although, sometimes I dont need all the stuff and can make it a bit lighter). I would definitely buy this backpack again and strongly recommend it.

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.***

I gave the item 4 stars HOWEVER..... I purchased this backpack for an upcoming trip. After unpacking ans inspecting it, I spent several hours trying to configure it to hold my equipment - without success. The product is well made and otherwise I would rate it 5-stars. The item dimensions are stated as 18 x 9 x 13.2 inches. The laptop compartment easily holds a Macbook Air, an iPad and has room for adapters and cables. The front accessory compartment will hold batteries, filters and such. HOWEVER, the camera compartment dimensions are not stated. The specifications say the camera compartment will accomodate 2 DSLR bodies and 3-4 lenses plus accessories. I found the depth of the compartment to be a big factor. I carry 2 DSLR bodies: Nikon D5100 and Nikon D7100. I carry 4 lenses: Nikon 35mm; 18-200; 70-300; Sigma 15-30; Nikon SB-600 flash. What I found was that the camera compartment is 4.5 deep at the upper portion (top); 5 deep in the center; and 5.5 deep at the bottom. Three of my 4 lenses are > 5.5 long so they must be placed horizontal to the bottom of the bag. Configuring the bag this way makes it impossible (for me at least) to carry the 4 lenses, 2 bodies, the flash unit and items too big for the accessories compartment. Quite simply, I need a bbiger bag! SO...be careful to preconfigure your equipment requirements before buying this bag - I didnt!. It is a very good bag for the price, but just not right for me!

Really good for traveling. Customizable compartments.

This is a great product, fits well with my Sony camera and 3 different lenses. Its easy to use and seems adequate for protection. However, I with it give a little extra room for other accessories. The room is a little tight but I totally understand why. I love this bag.

Ive just received my backpack, and loaded it up with a 17 laptop, two DSLR bodies, and several lenses, including a 400 zoom, plus a load of accessories. Given the amount of kit, its heavy, but everything fits very well. I ordered this both for the ability to carry a 17 laptop plus cameras, and because I thought that the additional chest and waist straps would help with spreading the weight. However, the fully-packed pack is top-heavy, and the additional straps are way too long and positioned awkwardly. Im a 5 5-ish woman, and with the lower strap around my waist, the pack and shoulder straps do not rest on my shoulders at all, but pull me over backwards. Once I realised that the lower strap is NOT a waist strap, but goes (much) lower, then the shoulder straps fitted properly. The top strap, which fastens across the chest, is uncomfortable, and cannot be shortened enough. Im not sure that this will be comfortable for me for any long-distance walks, but for keeping all kit together for travel, it should work fine. I do think that the strap placement was designed for someone taller and probably not for a woman!!!! (Designers: there are women photographers too!!!! And we have curves!!!! And are not six feet tall!!!)

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.

Let 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.

So as far as backpacks go specifically designed especially for tattoo kits, there are two options: spend over a hundred bucks on the only decent one available, or go with its knock off brother... Either way, they are just laptop backpacks with a couple plastic cases in it. And since there is really only one option, everyone who has this backpack knows exactly what is in it. So I decided to pursue other options, including makeup/cosmetic kits, travelling trunks, and various rolling bags, all of which neither satisfied my need for space, dividers, and easy portability......Until NOW! This backpack kicks the teeth in of anything else Ive seen! The fully customizable main compartment allows me to keep my tools, bottles, power supplies, and equipment neatly organized and protected. The front pouch is perfect for my machines, lights, and small stuff I need to keep easy access to, and the laptop pouch holds stencil paper, my kindle, a sketchbook and a laptop no problem. To top it off this bag has the most comfortable straps and back padding Ive ever experienced. A couple more pluses: The side pouches hold wallets and cellphones perfectly, the carry handle is durable and comfortable, and the discreet Amazon logo tells everyone Im just another run of the mill backpack until you open the Harley Davidson orange interior containing my tattoo equipment and the crowd....goes.....CRAZY.
