I was hesitant at first to purchase an Amazon Basics backpack to hold my $4,000 worth of camera gear, but I loved the design in the photos and thought I would give it a chance!
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
Overall, this backpack surprised me in many ways. The build quality is overall fantastic, with plenty of cushioning where it sounds, solid shoulder and waist straps with good quality snaps, and lots of storage options when it comes to arranging your gear.
BREAKDOWN:
The first compartment of the backpack has a dedicated memory card zipper compartment, various internal pockets and slots large enough for me to easily fit my laptop charger, camera charger, two external hard drives and various other components with plenty of space remaining!
The primary compartment for all your camera gear is as expected - it uses a hook and loop design of flaps that can be arranged as you please to suit your specific gear; it's pretty versatile this way, but one issue I ran into was that because the internal height of this compartment changes from the bottom to top, some flaps that you want to use will be too short or too tall depending on where you want to put everything. This can be worked around relatively easy with a bit of planning, but should be noted.
The rear laptop compartment is simple but secure, and has a good amount of padding to it on the rear and bottom.
CONCLUSION:
I would absolutely recommend this backpack. It's a great value considering its size, terrific build quality for the price and of course space it offers.

Was thoroughly impressed with this purchase. The price point was exactly what I was looking for and the quality was way above. The space inside the bag was exactly what I was looking for for all of my storage needs. I'm excited to strap up and get it there!!

I'm really happy with the build, the size and the overall quality of this backpack camera bag. It's huge. Very usable and totally overkill for me but I have lots of room to expand lenses filters accessories etc... Maybe even a second camera. Yeah, it's that big.
I love the build quality, the amount of padding and even the padding against the back of the wearer. I'm impressed.
All pockets and pouches are useable and generous in size.
My only con on this is I would love a, place to attach a tripod to the outside like some bags have. I'm sure I'll figure out a way of doing it but that as an addon would complete my entire wish list for this bag...
I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation I had and may, in fact, be a little too big for me... But I'll definitely work on finding a good use for all that extra space.
I git the orange interior because I like the contrast but I can definitely see it getting dirty easily. Hopefully I won't have a problem with that.
I don't post many item reviews but
I'm truly happy with this item because it ticked pretty much every box I had at a cost far lower than anything better at even more than double the price....
I'm one happy camper.... Ughhhh... Photographer. 😁👍

The quality is good. But taking the camera out is not easy because it doesn't have a zipper for the camera. The laptop compartment is large and I easily put a 15.6" Asus laptop in it. It is a little bit heavy but good for this price. Your back won't sweat because of the good design.

Have taken this on several trips now and it is so nice to have everything organized. Only have one camera but three other lenses and flash plus hoods, batteries etc... Not sure how water resistant it is as I only go out on fair and clear days but I have the raincover that comes with it. One slightly negative comment is that the main compartment zipper does not go far enough around the back of the pack and am concerned this may overtime tear break the zipper if I flop the cover over completely - I never do as a precaution and just rest it in a more vertical position against something. Also the first pocket for the pens books etc., should open more as well - bit awkward getting hands inside. Overall though like the product and do recommend it based on price point.

What a great deal! AmazonBasics has made a great bag, it's of the quality of the much more expensive bags that cost $160-200! Nice padding inside, easy to move the panels around to suit your needs. It's divided into 3 sections, a front section which has lots of pockets for things, including a zipper mesh pocket. The main middle compartment, and then there is a back section that you could fit papers in.
Pros:
- can't beat the price
- high quality materials
- great padding
- quite large, can hold a lot of gear
- dedicated pockets for pens and smaller items
- two side pockets
- lots of straps for attaching tripod and other items
- chest strap and support straps
- great back padding and shoulder strap padding
- rain cover included in the back section
- the bag looks more like a regular backpack on the outside so people won't suspect that it holds expensive gear. You'll blend in better, and not stand out to thieves if you're doing street photography.
Cons:
- the front section and back sections are not padded in any way, only the main middle compartment
- the front section has only one zippered mesh pocket. So a lot of items need to go in there so they don't move around. The other pockets you can't put much in since the items will slide out if the bag is thrown around or held upside down.
- the front and back sections are also very skinny, you can't fit much in them without the bag bulging from those pockets. Basically anything wider than an inch would need to go into the main compartment and not the other sections. They are meant more so for papers and thin items like filters or SD cards. Which is not a big deal. Just don't expect to put batteries and big items in those sections.
- not waterproof, but does come with a rain cover
- zippers are nice quality, but I wish that the zipper pull had a large enough hole to thread a security lock through so I could lock the main compartment when on video shoots.
Minor things to complain about, this bag is amazing for the price and suits my main need of needing to store all my equipment in a nicely padded bag without breaking the bank!
Highly recommend.

Premium Quality Bag at an Affordable Price!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2020Colour Name: GrayVerified Purchase
I love this bag! For a relatively cheap and affordable camera bag, this one is brilliant. It's super ergonomic and comfortable to wear, the straps really help to correct your posture and lighten the load. Inside the bag, there is plenty of space for your camera gear, and when I went to Morocco, this was the only bit of luggage I took with me, and it was able to carry my main camera gear as well as all of my clothes and other assorted items I had with me for the trip. The tripod straps in the side are extremely useful for carrying a tripod, but if your bag is empty, you may want to consider putting slightly heavier items in the opposite side of the bag to counter the weight. Not a big issue, just a small thing to note that may affect some user's experience. For me I often don't fill up this bag to the max, but I love the space it offers and as the dividers are reconfigurable/removable, it allows you to easily make it work specifically for your use case scenario. There is also a laptop compartment, this feels fairly snug, so your laptop won't go shaking around in there, but still enough space for slightly thicker laptops. For a photographer that loves to carry lots of gear with them, this so the perfect bag on a budget! I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was made and you really get a great quality bag for a very low (in terms of professional camera bags) price. The zips are solid metal and the fabric is thick! The surface of the bag seems like it could withstand some rain but it does come with a waterproof cover which does what it's supposed to. There is also a smaller front section in which you can house all of your smaller accessories such as filters, data storage devices, pens, cleaning equipment for your camera and whatever else dots in there. In summary, it's a brilliant bag and considering the price compared to some more premium options, this bag pretty much has it all. You should note though, it is quite big; it fits into most hand luggage requirements, but on day to day travels some people may find it it a bit big. Personally, I quite like the size and it means I always have space for my gear.

I took 12 kg of camera equipment in hand luggage. Two DSLRs, both with battery grips, two lenses, one 70-200mm, one 17-55mm, one small laptop, one tablet, one hard drive, four batteries and charger. Everything fitted nicely, adjustable compartments. Great value
