BAGSMART Camera Backpack, DSLR Camera Bag Backpacks for Photographers, Waterproof Anti-Theft Photography Backpack with 15 Inch Laptop Compartment & Tripod Holder, Ivory White

Love this bag. I've been using it awhile now. The side pocket is so helpful for on the go shooting. The straps are comfortable and thick. They don't dig into my shoulders even with the equipment weight. There is cushion on the straps and back which keeps it a little warm but comfortable. The camera pockets adjustability has been good. I've been able to make it work for my basic lenses, camera body, and a few sound recording items. My zoom recorder fits perfectly standing upright in one of the pockets. Only possible complaint I could have is the bag gets front heavy and falls forward when I sit it on the ground. And the drawstring on the top pocket is very long so I have to stuff it in the picket each time I close it. And the buckle strap occasionally opens (wish the magnet was just a little stronger). But overall this was a great purchase. The fabric is thick and fairly durable. Easy to spot clean. And even though the zippers feel small and delicate, they're pretty sturdy and nothing has broken even with continued use over a few months.

So many backpack style camera bags out there today it seems are made to fit every single lens and accessory you own all at once and ONLY camera equipment. This bag has enough room for my Canon 5D to fit along with maybe two lenses and a few accessories that I would want to take with me out and about while on vacation. But it also has a separate area on top for the things I'm going to need to bring with me like my wallet phone Etc. This is a great little day bag. I love the side pocket quick and easy to get my camera out when I want it without having to move everything around to get to it! I also like that when I take my camera out the inside dividers are strong enough to hold up everything on top and don't lose their shape while my camera is being used so it's very easy to put back. I love the canvas material that this bag is made out of. Especially like the little hook that allows me to lock all of the zippers together as kind of an extra layer of protection. No way someone's going to get those undone without me noticing. the zipper pulls even come close enough together to put a small travel lock on if you wish. Just an all-around really really good bag.

I've been using this camera backpack since January 2021 and it's still my go-to camera bag. I use it when photographing wildlife and nature at beaches, state parks, Audubon preserves, etc. I'm very rough with my stuff. I've had it sitting on wet sand and grass with no problems. I've dumped it off my back into tall grass full of burrs to photograph conures eating the burrs - the burrs came off easily. I generally carry one camera on a strap around my neck and another - even my Canon R5 with a 100-400mm lens attached - in this bag, along with a couple of other lenses, batteries, a spare memory card, cleaning supplies, reading glasses, filters, my handy-dandy Bearz pocket blanket, a sandwich, and a water bottle. I lost the little tripod strap, but my husband replaced it with a strip of velcro, which works great. I see no wear where the straps attach to the bag - it still looks almost new. I'm 5'6, size 14, and the bag doesn't feel too big or too small. There is no "perfect" camera bag; I've looked at more expensive name brand camera bags - in fact, I have a couple that are sitting in my closet - but, for me, this inexpensive one has 90% of the features I need or want.

WINS:Bag overall is a win! I pretty much always carried my camera equipment in a separate briefcase thing in my truck and a backpack with my work gear. I thought about combining my work EDC with my camera gear since I use them both pretty much daily... that’s when I stumbled upon this! This bag doesn’t look like a camera backpack and that’s exactly what I wanted. Bag comes with a rain fly which is awesome because I’m constantly on the road and often on a motorcycle. A rain fly never hurts, especially if you’re out and about walking / hiking / riding.I’m able to store quite a bit of gear in here, including two days worth of clothes, a hygiene kit, my dslr, 70-200 sport lens, 50mm lens, GoPro, my iPad Pro 13.5” and even my DJI magic mini! Bag sure has a lot of really usable compartments and good amount of space! The bag feels durable for the most part. The straps are a little on the weaker side in my opinion.OPPORTUNITIES:-First of all... the top flap is magnetic vs a physical buckle. I worry that this will wear out over time and become basically worthless. It’s nice because you can place a scarf or maybe a light long sleeve on top of the bag (as pictured) for the extra storage space BUT you couldn’t really secure much because the buckle is again... magnetic-Second is that the “top shelf” is just Velcro’d vs stitched. I know that this bag isn’t indestructible as far as placing tamper proof locks on it but If someone wanted to, they could just open the top (which can’t be locked), pull the shelf out, and grab your gear. I couldn’t imagine ever using this bag without the shelf in so it kinda doesn’t make sense that it would be removable but that’s just me. I would have loved to seen this stitched in there.-Third is that the straps are a little narrow and don’t fit all that well on my shoulders. I would have liked to have them a tad wider and a little more padding!-Fourth is mostly me being picky but the chest buckle is super narrow and it’s on the opposite side compared to every other backpack I’ve ever owned in my life. It’s kinda like wearing a woman’s shirt to a mans shirt and having the buttons be on the opposite side. Again, a small thing but something about it feels super awkward and wrong hahah. I will probably remove the buckle and replace it / re-stitch a new one on there that’s beefier and on the correct side.All and all... this bag is super dope and I’m enjoying it. I replaced my Elite Guardian with this pack. I don’t think the new backpack will last as long as the Elite but I’m going to test it out. I put hundreds of thousands of miles through multiple countries on that last backpack so I promise... the “Bagsmart” pack is going to get one heck of a break in! Will keep everyone updated as time goes on!
