Highly Useful Camera Bag Capable of Carrying Telephoto Setup (4.5 ⭐)

I am a birder who takes photographs mostly in urban and semi-urban environments. I wanted a bag that could fit my camera, 1.4x teleconverter, and 500 mm lens in one piece for hikes and as an airplane carry-on. The described height measurement for the large bag was accurate and I was able to get my setup into the bag in a vertical orientation. On hikes, it has enough additional room for binoculars, the lens hood, straps, hats, and gloves. On flights, I substitute the binoculars, lens hood, and straps with a laptop, other electronics, and other items. This backpack is smaller than my old non-camera travel backpack, but with planning and consolidation, I'm able to get in everything I need on a flight, in addition to the camera. Pros: - I appreciate all the listed security features. I would also point out that the bag has no logo that would give it away as a camera bag. - I was skeptical, but elastic straps in the side door keep my camera Nikon batteries securely in place. - There are many useful compartments as described. - The internal hook and loop fastener cross strap gives the bag additional support when it is very full. - While the bag shell seems to be made of thinner material than my old non-camera travel backpack, so far it has survived one international and several domestic trips without ripping or tearing. -The luggage strap is something that not all camera bags have, and the bag fits easily under airline seats. Cons: - I wish the bag came with one or two more small dividers. - While the padding is just as thick as my old generic camera bag, I felt better by supplementing it in spots around the camera with additional purchased dividers. - The front pouch is really suitable only for thin, flat items. - The water bottle pouch may be tight if you have a large bottle and there is a lot of stuff on the inside. I find that taller bottles work better, because you can hook the upper strap around the bottle neck. - This is not really a con, but for even more internal storage, I purchased small hook and loop tactical pouches. Overall, this is a highly useful bag that meets my needs, and I would buy it again.

Phenomenal EDC backpack - set your expectations

This bag is absolutely amazing. I’ve got the medium and am ordering the large. There seems to be some confusion about just exactly what this bag is, and what it isn’t (even from the manufacturer it seems), so let’s cut to the chase. What this bag is: Good quality, well designed every day carry bag with customizable foam compartments, lots of nice touches for storage, cables, pens, etc. It has some nice surprises, such as YKK zippers that feel great, anti-theft locking zipper designs, quick access side pocket, tripod and water bottle storage, comfortable thick straps, a great balance and fit, and just all around lots of nice little touches to enjoy. What this bag isn’t: A full frame DSLR camera bag. I’m sorry, it just isn’t. The negative reviews stem from trying to put heavy equipment in the admittedly flimsy foam compartments. To be sure, they are adequate for small electronics, lightweight gear and accessories, and even mirrorless DSLR cameras with lighter mirrorless style lenses. But the second you put a heavy 250mm glass mirrored lens in this bag, it will fail you. The same is true for heavier drones. Wrapping it up: I’ve been looking for over a decade for the perfect EDC bag. This is it. I’ve found it. My wife has Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses and this bag holds them wonderfully. No, don’t go throwing it around - this isn’t a pelican case, and it’s not even a hard case. But it does have good padding and decent hold for battery packs, laptops, phones, camping devices like fans and cooking gear, and the Medium bag laptop sleeve holds a 15” MacBook Air, and the large will hold a 16” MacBook Pro. This bag will serve you well, and is a terrific value for the price. Just make sure your expectations are in line. This isn’t a camera bag for heavy gear, or anything you should plan to throw around. It’s just a great everyday gear bag. And if that’s what you want, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this handy little holder.

Extremely versatile bag, especially considering the price point

This bag is quite the value for the price. I was able to easily setup the interior dividers to hold my Sony FX3 camera with 35mm f/1.8 lens mounted, the audio handle, a case of ND filters, and a Sennheiser MKH 416 mic with isolation mount. There are also some little pockets outside of the main compartment that are great for holding batteries, memory cards, lens caps, etc. There is a quick access flap on the side so you can set the bag up with your camera there for easy access without needing to open up the whole pack. The pack is designed with the main compartment opening on the back, so you have to remove the pack from your back before opening... helpful for theft prevention and to keep things inside the pack while it's on your back. Once you open the main compartment there is a separate zippered cover to access the interior as well as a padded pouch for holding a small laptop. The bag even includes a rain cover that can be deployed if you're caught outside. Overall this is a very nice bag that will likely cover your basic photo or video needs for a daypack.

Impressed !

I bought the medium bag and I am impressed with the protection, size and cost of this bag! It’s heavily padded and has so many pockets. When you carry alot of gear you need pockets ! Right now I have my old camera in it and my new mirrorless in my everyday bag. This bag holds all my stuff I don’t use everyday, plus my iPad and extra batteries etc. I also have a little extra room left on one side. it’s nicely padded where it goes over my shoulder which is great bc it’s very heavy with all my stuff in it. I bought it to mostly store my older gear and not hiking with it but, if I was to hike, I would have no problems with feeling like this bag could protect my camera. I love the side pocket where you can just unzip and take out your camera with not having to unzip the entire bag. Great feature! It’s a high quality bag and easy to carry. I love that you can move around the padding to fit your own gear. I was happy to pay $35 for this bag! I think it will last me a lifetime. It’s also approved by my Yorkie !
