Amazon Basics Large Capacity Camera Backpack with Internal Padding for DSLR and Accessories, Waterproof and Shockproof, 11.7 x 6.0 x 14.5 inches, Solid, Black

I have never purchased a bag like this before, but I have purchased over the years lots of camera equipment and a variety of cases. What I have learned is that I benefit every time I wait and in this case having viewed many other bags at high street shops, I felt that they were of better quality BUT not 3 or 4 tmes as good when compared to price. OK opening the bag. Lots of individual compartments in the main storage area, with velcro which really does stick to the compartment material. Mine is holding a Canon 550D with the standard 18-55mm lens fitted, a 55-250 mm lens in a separate compartment, a 50 mm lens and a further 400 mm lens, more importantly there are lots more spaces to accommodate a half dozen filters, a remote control, a charger and a non standard flash. Still compartments left and not even got to the pockets which so far host a single spare SD card. I could add m rugged and still valued Kodak 880 and a P60 flash that is relatively small and both of those items could easily fit in, oh yes and a Sony compact. So space is not a problem, but will I be able to carry it all: you could quite easily overpack just because you have the space available. Onto the material and construction. It seems to be made out of a type of fabric standard to all of the bags that I have viewed, although I would not say it is of the best quality, but that should not be a drawback, but I do wonder how well it would stand up to a rugged liefstyle: still at the price, I could buy at least two spares, so not a problem. The straps seem strong and overall, the stitching looks sound and pressure points have reinforement very evident, so overall the package does seem pretty good, but what really makes it extraordinary is what you get for the money. No complaints at all and it is the perfect companion for someone like me who likes to keep his camera equipment safe, but does not lug it all over the world, although it will be on my back this year when I visit Cape Canaveral, Bermuda, the Azores, Lisbon, Cork and Le Havre: ok I am going on a cruise, but unlike most of the other passengers, we tend to move around a lot. Great item, well worth the money and ideal for those of us who don't want to spend a vast amount on a bag, preferring to spend it on lens and fast memory cards.

As always, I did some research (reading reviews and checking prices with whats on offer here there and almost everywhere to the point where I confused myself about what I actually wanted the camera bag to do let alone whether I actually needed to get one. I'd been using an aluminium case to store and carry camera stuff around but in all honesty, it was too cumbersome and not discrete enough for my needs. I have at times also made use of an old camcorder shoulder bag but wanted something that would allow me to carry a camera, batteries, a couple of lenses and a few other bits and pieces with relative ease without breaking the bank and without making it obvious my bag or case contained camera equipment of some kind. Needless to say, like many others I am also all for saving money where I can. Many of the shoulder style bags seem expensive for what they are and practically speaking don't allow you to carry that much and whilst you sometimes do get what you pay for I realised some time ago that "cheaper" doesn't necessarily mean you compromise as much as you may think in terms of quality or value for money. Similarly getting the more expensive "branded" item doesn't always mean you are getting value for money either especially when you can end up feeling that you are paying for a brand name and perhaps very little else when you make some direct comparisons between products. At the end of the day its down to what you can afford, as well as practical and personal preference and don't forget this item does have a one year warranty from Amazon. So, I took the plunge and bought this with it arriving quickly, well packaged and actually, to me, quite nicely finshed considering the "cheap" price. For my needs it is the right sort of size - not too big and not too small - for everyday or general use allowing me to carry a camera, lenses, batteries, and quite a few other bits and pieces that I may need when out and about taking pictures. The zips and tags all seem fine and the velcro "spacers" I have moved around to my hearts content to get them into the positions I want them in without problem and they seem firmly stuck in place. The shoulder straps are padded and adjustable and the carry handle on the top of the bag seems secure enough - as somebody else mentioned I think any wear on any of these items (as well as the bag itself or any other of its parts) would become apparent in good time unless you are particularly unlucky in this respect. The zips work and the zipper tags are still intact and seem secure enough. The bag I feel provides adequate protection for the equipment I carry in it and I wouldn't place my trust in just anything for the sake of it when it comes to camera equipment. There are two straps on the side of the bag for carrying a monopod - I think these will do the job provided you don't attach anything that's too heavy as I think doing so would potentially place too much of a strain on the straps over time as well as upset the balance of the bag from a practical "carrying it" point of view - a small lightweight monopod or small lightweight traveller tripod or similar would probably be okay - I don't carry my monopod attached to the bag for these reasons but I don't consider that to be an inconvenience. All things considered, I think it's a good bag for what it offers in terms of size and portability and it would probably afford a bit of protection from a light shower to the equipment it contains because of the type of material it's made from though common sense dictates that I wouldn't leave anything out in the rain that I didnt want to risk getting soaked. The bag I have received seems nicely finished without any obvious flaws though long term use will eventually determine how well its been made. My own feeling is that it's like anything - if looked after and not mistreated I am sure it will provide good service and do what I want it to do for some time to come with any potential failure becoming apparent in good time. So to conclude (unless I need to suddenly amend this review over the coming months and have returned it with the one year warranty in mind) - I am happy with my purchase and am equally happy to give it five stars because it suits my needs and compared to many other similar types of product at differing prices, I think represents good value for money at around twenty pounds. UPDATE: 22nd November 2013 No issues at all with this which I still use to transport my DSLR, ancillary lenses and equipment - no obvious or apparent signs of wear/breakage as yet (though it did get a bit of an accidental proper soaking when I was caught out by a long period of heavy rain when I was in the middle of nowhere taking photos not long after I had it. Even so and reassuringly, my camera and equipment was protected adequately as though the inside of the bag felt a little damp in places near to where the external zip fastenings are, water had not fully penetrated through to the internal linings to totally "soak" the inside compartments which was my concern at the time. I simply allowed the bag to dry properly before using it again.) FURTHER UPDATE: 15th May 2014 As I picked the bag up to go out for a shoot, the top carry strap broke on one side! Wasn't expecting that though I had packed a fair amount of stuff into it and had wondered if I was overloading it slightly - well question answered though fortunately bag didn't drop (I had a firm enough grip on the strap and the stitching on the other end of it held and I was actually picking it up off of a sofa). Anyway still in use and the remaining straps all still apparently secure and I may well attempt a repair to the broken strap in any case. Bag has lasted well with a lot of use though I have noticed the price has increased since I bought mine which I'm not sure makes it quite the bargain it was given there are many other bags out there to choose from to protect your kit. That said and other than the now defunct top carry strap the bag has no other damage or obvious signs of wear and still protects my camera and lenses so, very much still a valuable and useable bit of kit! Another Update 20th December 2016 This bag is still in use - but now my Son who is at University uses it. It still has no further wear or damage to straps or zips or other fittings other than highlighted above. I see that the price has increased since I originally purchased it (and assuming it is virtually still the same product) but still represents good value when compared to other similar branded products (some smaller branded or "named" ones are actually more expensive than this). Now my Son has this camera backpack I will probably be needing another one at some point for my gear - yes it'll be another one of these.

The bag is a great price for what you get and is especially great for those just starting out. The compartments can be tailored to your needs, allowing the space to be used to store a jacket, snack and other stuff as well. I re-arranged the segments to afford better padding for my camera and lenses, but the basic padding offered is still good. There is a front pocket, but this is not well padded, leaving an i-pad or other items slightly vulnerable. Style-wise the bag looks good. It is undermine a bit by the very big and obvious 'amazon basic' zipper tags, but unless you are close these are not that noticeable. The key flaw of this bag is the lack of a waterproof jacket. I would have happily paid a little more for this to be included. The other bags on the market similar to this with a cover include a big price jump. It is a shame amazon do not offer this as an extra or a third bag in their range with a jacket. It is a vital piece to most proper camera bags and my friend had to carry my ipad in his bag when it rained to ensure it did not get wet. The bag didn't leak, but a few pieces of paper that touched the closed zip area did soak up a little water. However, it really is a very very good bag for the money!!

Excelent product.The backpack is customable si it will fit all your gear.Trust me i managed to put inside three cameras.One GH6, one GH4 et one cannon 200d plus 5 lenses and one dji ginble model 4.

have been using the bag for a while now. take it everywhere with me. still in good condition. love the belt around waste because when I carry the camera I can stick it into the belt for support... maybe not everyone's choice but I love it side pockets a bit small so I do not use them much only for tissues and lens cleaner for me it serves the purpose and I'm happy with the backpack

I'm using this bag for my Canon Kiss X4 Double Zoom Kit. It houses the camera body, 18-55 wide lens, 55-250 telephoto lens, plus other extras like 2 x lens hood, 4 x lens filters, user manual & an extra battery. I can fit all of them inside and still have plenty of room to spare. It also comes with a strap at the side to hold a tripod. It feels like it is water resistant too, though I haven't tested it yet during heavy rain. Great bag over all, it offers good protection for your camera and its accessories at an affordable price.

Sorprendido con la calidad de los materiales, la calidad de fabricación y la capacidad de esta mochila. A pesar de que es el modelo más barato de las 3 ofrecidas por Amazon basics, no creo que se pueda encontrar algo mejor por ese precio. Cuenta con múltiples compartimientos y suficientes bolsillos para guardar cosas adicionales, tiene abrazaderas para sujetar un tripié, abrazadera de soporte en el pecho y en la zona lumbar y es configurable el acomodo del equipo fotográfico mediante separadores reajustables. Tiene un refuerzo acolchado suficientemente grueso en los tirantes principales y en la zona de la espalda. Totalmente satisfecho con la compra, es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Tomar en cuenta que no viene con funda para la lluvia y que no tiene compartimiento para Laptop.

Molto capiente e resistente, sembra di ottima qualità! Qualità prezzo.
