Amazon Basics Sling Backpack

Heading to Aruba and didn't want to carry my Amazon roller camera bag (too much gear). I plan to use one Canon 7d Mark II with a battery grip, a 40 to 70 mm lense and a 70-200 mm lense which fit the inside compartment with no problems. The removable partitions allowed me to create a shelf on top of the 70 to 200 mm lense for a battery charger, 2 spare Canon batteries, cords and other things. The top compartment is housing my Gopro Hero 7 Black with Gopro grip and Gopro Floaty Grip, Waterproof case, double battery charger and 5 GoPro batteries. Also have some extra memory cards. In the side I tucked away a couple of different Tiffen Polarizer filters. I am almost thinking I can rearrange the petitions and fit in both a Canon 7d Mark II and a Canon 6d body, the same 2 lenses and everything else? Just don't think I want to carry that much gear as I also have a Waterproof Fuji Finepix WP-140 that takes excellent photos in and out the water that I can fit in this bag. It is an excellent bag with endless possibilities depending on how you configure it.

The sling backpack fit all three comfortably and can hold more

I wanted to carry my Nikon 3300 with telezoom len (55-300) and 35mm len. The sling backpack fit all three comfortably and can hold more. One person reviewed he feared that his equipment will fall out when moving the bag forward. Well you do not need to open the opening all the way to get to your equipment out. Stock your equipment based on how it is positioned when you move it to the front. The thin strap I will probably never use. As one reviewer said you can only wear it on one shoulder, although you can wear it on either but the case will be upside down in the back. It was bigger than I thought, but a good size. I purchased a full backpack previously, however I decided not to carry all my equipment. I just want to pick up and go.

Nice little bag

So the bag is made out of some nice material doesn't feel cheap at all. The pictures I'm providing just for reference, I've stuffed into the bag just to see what I could fit. The main pouch 1x Rebel Sl1 + battery grip no lens attached. - Tamron 70-200, Tokina 11-16, Tamron 28-75 and a Canon 40mm. I even managed to put my wallet and keys in here Top pouch - Flash, battery charger, AA battery charger, 6 camera batters and there's still some extra space. I even have a small manfroto tripod on the side. I'll probably update my review once I've used it longer but just putting it on, the bag feels solid but it does feel heavy. But ill probably have the camera and a lens out so overall I say good bag.

BEST VALUE FOR A SLING BAG....CLOSELY MATCHED LOWEPRO SLINGSHOT AW200

I have an old LOWEPRO AW200 SLINGSHOT used for several years on many trips. The zipper to the main compartment failed, and was cost prohibitive to replace zipper or repair. The AW200 is discontinued. The AMAZON BASIC SLING is an excellent alternate. A great value. The materials are not as sturdy as the original AW200, and the design of top storage area could be improved a bit. But...did not see another competitor bag out there that could have the comparable capacity and functionality. I don't think it is as durable, but...if it lasts 3-4 years, I am good. The orange interior is bright, and functional. A definite good value...only concern...will it be durable. But...as stated you can't beat the price and lightweight. Great for active amateur.

Bigger on the inside!

I've been a big fan of the holster case, preferring its ease of use, compact size and ready portability, but my holster cases, over the years, have cost me hundreds of dollars in repair costs. Having recently purchased yet another obscenely expensive dSLR, I decided to try a different approach. This case was that approach and I'm very happy to report that I made a good decision. For safety, I now store my dSLR all knocked down, with the lens detached. It's hard to break the cheap plastic lens tabs if they're under a bakelite lens cap. You also can't snap the lens off the body if it's already detached. This case allows me to do this. Moreover, this case is small enough to still be quite portable, it fits in a bus or airplane overhead quite readily and yet it's so much bigger on the inside than you'd expect. It's a great case at a great price!

Had it for a day and already love it. The pictures dont show just how roomy ...

Had it for a day and already love it. The pictures dont show just how roomy and adaptable it is. I purchased a traditional shoulder style bag about a year ago and have been carrying my camera in it since. After a day carrying a camera and doing what I do, defiantly not the most comfortable of arrangements. Recieved this bag today and traded out and what a nice pleasant surprise it was. Big roomy, no squeak (you could hear me a mile away with the old camera bag) and namely a padded strap and back to the bag. You don't think about those things when you pick out a camera bag, after all its all about the camera, till your slogging bag and all with you. Its a nice comfort, and the rearrange-able interior is nice. Its not the biggest camera bag and I deliberately choose it for that. I have a big a traditional bag for literally, everything. However I've found when I am going in the field, usually I know what lenses I plan on shooting with and ditch most of mine at home when I am going. This lets me do that and leave my lenses in the big bag where its not squeaking, weighting down on my shoulder and with poor padding, load up and go with what I plan on using. Even if I decide to be adventurous and pack my beer can lens along with my stock lens, there's room to squeeze big boy in there. Another thing I found I was pleasantly surprised with was the top/hatch storage compartment. Lets me stick a field log, cell phone, car keys and other little necessities that normally I wouldn't stick in with the camera but sometimes mysteriously end up in there without consciously deciding to do so. Tripod holder to the side I am not a fan of not that it matters, usually I am carrying mine in my hands anyways and wouldn't want it walloping me as I walk. Do like the front pouch, another trinket catcher that makes storage really nice and doable on this bag. Overall, very happy. In a year I'll know and see how it holds up given the misery my bags seem to suffer once I get going.

Nice bag, especially for the price.

I got this to keep my Canon HF R800 and some accessories in, it actually works well for that. There are some videos on here that do a better job of explaining how to wear it than I could, I had to watch one myself to figure it out. If there is a drawback to this bag, it would be figuring out how to wear it. The bag itself has a nice top compartment, I use it to store a spare battery and charger, I also put my SD card holder in there so I have it with me. The center compartment is configurable, you can pretty much put any consumer grade camera in it with room for some accessories. There is also a little pouch in the bottom compartment that I have used in conjunction with one of the straps to carry a tripod. Being in the midwest and it being December, this bag won't really get used much until spring, if anything note worthy comes up, I'll edit this review.

Great medium sized bag for shooters on the go

First impressions are great. The bag is exactly as described on the website as far as size and shape. I appreciate how simple the style is, without trying to be flashy or gaudy. I am about 5'11 200 pounds and I feel like this fits perfectly on my back. As someone who has recently been doing photography as a hobby this bag is great for me. I have a camera, a mini tripod, my battery charger, a remote for the camera, and will be adding lens filters shortly. There is plenty of room to spare, without feeling like you are lugging around a suitcase. One thing I feel like is not really talked about in the product description is that the side has a little tripod holder that folds out of a bottom pocket, and then uses a strap buckle at the top to secure it in place. I bought the Amazon basics lightweight tripod; and two of the feet sit in the little pocket, with the strap going around the body at the top. This is a great way to bring your tripod along hands free for a hike or going to a shoot somewhere. The tripod does stick out a bit of the top of the bag, so be careful in tight spaces; but with the slender size of the bag this is to be expected. The bag itself seems to be very solid and well built. I will be updating over time in regards to how it stands up. As of right now I would absolutely reccomend this to anyone looking for a medium sized on the go camera bag.

Pretty comfortable for hiking.

I used this during my Big Bend trip last month. I was afraid it would be uncomfortable because the shape is so "blocky". It was quite comfortable and held what I needed. Very cushiony to protect your camera and lenses. My longest hike was right at 4 hours and the backpack never bothered me. It was quick and easy to remove and put back on when I took some breaks. I also love the swing around feature that can be used to take out your camera or other items without removing the backpack. I would recommend this backpack if you're looking for something lower priced and you don't mind the blocky/bulky look. Looks don't matter much when you're hiking. You want comfort and something that will fit your needs.

WOW, little bag with a big stomach!

I have a lowerpro backpack for my camera stuff which does it’s job well. With my new budddy— the Nikon z6 I began to feel the need to downsize. Normally I only carry two lenses: 24-70 and 70-200/f2.8, sometimes with an extra flash and I was concerned whether this little bag can hold them—-and it does! Thanks to it’s versatily I actually have a couple of ways to wrap them in there safely and comfortably! (The pictures show the 70-200/f2.8 with the 24-70/f4S lens, but simply Judging by the extra room left, it should have no problem holding the f2.8 version as well. It doesn’t completely replace my lowerpro it can hold 3-5 lenses and I will still use it for serious photography; but from now on this little one will be my go to bag. Thanks Nikon for making a smaller body, and thanks Amazon for providing this light weight, versatile, large and yet small bag to make my life easier! [update 01/05/19: Here we go, I replaced 24-70/F4 with the 24-70/F2.8 beast, and it still fits, alongside with the 70-200!
