TARION Hardshell Camera Backpack: 3-side Hard Case Photography Bag DSLR Backpack with Waterproof Raincover, Laptop/Tripod Compartment for Men Women Photographers - Black

I’ve bought three bags in the past couple of weeks.A Bagsmart, an Amazon Basics, and this one.While all three claim to be “large” this one actually held everything I needed to, with room to spare.My setup is frankly, just the basics for photography:1 DSLR Camera Body3 Lenses3 Filters3 Batteries + Charging Station.1 Sling Strap1 FlashNone of the other bags could hold my gear. This one not only holds all of the above, I had room to add 3 more lenses, a rain cover (for the bag, not me) extra lens caps, my iPad, and a spot for yet another lens!Honestly, if I rearranged things, I’m confident I could have two cameras along with all of my other basic gear in this case.Now onto the details:Pros:• sturdy outer shell is solid with very strong cut resistant material.• padded should straps• solid stitching throughout• padded dividers with strong Velcro and soft fabric• ample space• additional storage space for iPad or laptopCons:• not waterproof (but comes with a rain tarp for the case)• exterior material is rugged and rough - borderline sandpaper.Overall, unless you’re wanting to spend $400 on a professional case for your camera, this entry-level camera go-bag checks off a whole lot of boxes for a reasonable price. (Under $60 at the time of this review)My recommendation is to buy it right now and enjoy it for years while you save up for a high-end professional case that will cover all of your wants and needs.Even then, I’d consider keeping this one around as a backup camera and gear bag.Definitely worth the money.

A hard shell design: single large compartment, user configured sub-dividers, good size for day hikes, and airline carry-on.I like that it has minimal pre-configured compartments - allowing the user to configure as needed with no additional bulk.My original intention was to use specifically for safely transporting my camera mounted to a long lens, especially when hiking. I am using now as my primary camera bag, with multiple lenses and remote release, additional memory cards etc. I used to use a sling bag that was convenient - but not useable for a long lens.I think a hard shell design has advantages over the padded ballistic nylon cases that are more common.My opinion is this is a thoughtful design, and a good value, that should be considered .

I've outgrown this bag, but it's served me well. The gear I want to carry around with me fits in the bag well enough, and it's a well-constructed bag that came with plenty of interior dividers.I carry the following:a) Canon R5 with 24-105mm "L" lens attachedb) Canon R with 15-35mm lens attachedc) Canon EF 50mm f1.4 lens with EF-RF adapterd) Canon 100-400mm RFe) a stack of RF extension tubesf) battery charger and several filtersg) 4 extra batteriesI would prefer to carry my filters in the lid of the bag, but there are no zippered pockets anywhere on this bag. You can't really expand the outside at all, there are no pockets (I don't know what Tarion is talking about when they say there's a small pocket on the back for a wallet or something, that doesn't exist on my bag).The hard shell doesn't really make much of a difference, honestly. I'd prefer the soft-luggage style of most camera bags; they typically offer a pocket or something.

This backpack is wonderful. It packs a lot of camera gear and is great value for money, it looks and feels so much more expensive than it was. Great product. Highly recommend.

I haven’t bought a backpack for my photography gear in over a decade but the hard shell concept got me interested. This is like do not worry no more about dropping or someone even stepping on your bag. It’s more like peace of mind. Furthermore you have two great holders for tripod or travel light stands on the sides. It’s sturdy. The only takeaway for me is that the pockets that are meant to hold a small laptop or ipad are not of use to hold extra batteries, memory cards etc. If you use these pockets to put memory cards or extra batteries forget it. They will slide into the camera compartment. My recommendation is to use small pouches or dice bags to put loose items in into the camera compartment. I wished they had a possible way to use velcro pockets for this like my other bag. But as usual. You can’t have it all. There is always a sacrifice.

Holds everything I need. Can even attach my large tripod to the side. Seems heavy duty, but is lightweight. Easily able to fit my camera with lens on, my 2nd lens (including a 300mm) chargers, all of my lens attachments, batteries, a small AND large flash, and cleaning equipment. Slots are Velcro so they are adjustable. Comes with additional straps inside to keep things from shifting around. Also has a slot for my iPad/pockets for notebooks, etc. If you have a drone it can be attached using the straps on the outside of the bag. Feels safe enough to take traveling/on outdoor shoots, came with a waterproof cover too.

It came with no assembly required. I am very pleased with the interior and exterior quality and the ease of use to adjust if necessary. I highly recommend it!

so many ways to set this bag up
