TARION PBL Camera Backpack

I really couldn't ask for more off this backpack. I have 2 fairly above-your-average-weight cameras (Nikon D3 and D800), with a combination of lenses for them, which I would typically carry on trips. However, previous backpacks always had problems either fitting both in, zips broke after a few uses, straps broke,etc. From the very first moment I held this backpack, I knew something was different. The feel was something I had never expected, it felt heavier and more solid than anything I had previously owned. I can fit my Mac (13"), iPad, all relevant cables and chargers, 2 cameras, my lenses and my radio in the side pocket easily. The removable dividers internally made it useful even for carrying large items during my removal and change of house, since when fully loaded, it can hold a considerable volume of stuff inside it. Especially useful is the side opening in the lower compartment, giving easy access to the camera placed in it to click that unmissable shot just at the right moment, a very useful feature indeed. With all the padding and dividers, my heart is at peace knowing my gear is safe even on the roughest of adventures. Also appears quite water repellent, although I wouldn't go swimming in it, it can withstand quite some rain before letting anything through. Overall,a highly versatile backpack with no major flaws, if I have to buy another camera backpack, I will have no hesitation in choosing this Tarion product again

Excellent build quality. I've had quite a few camerabags over the years but this is by far the best - think Mercedes vs Nissan Micra. Loads of pockets, spaces for accessories and easily adjustable separaters for lenses, etc. Very well padded so everything feels protected. I love how easy it to use with the side opening for my camera saving me from completely taking it off. It fits nicely on my back and doesn't feel overly heavy due to the wide shoulder straps. Happy to recommend.

This is the best camera gear case I’ve used. Easy storage for SLR body with easy access for camera with attached lens. Plenty of storage for additional lenses, flash and other accessories with small storage spaces for batteries, memory cards etc. Will accommodate a good size laptop (e.g. MacBook Pro 16”). Comfortable to wear even when carrying a fair bit of weight.

I've used this back a few times now and I like it. All the zips seems of a good quality, with soft plastic ties attached to them that make it easier to open and close them. The bag itself is spacious, with plenty of velcro dividers the allow for the making of compartments that stop your kit from moving about in the bag. The bag is well padded. It also has good carry straps, with wide, padded shoulder straps. I like the side-opening for easier access to my camera. Two things that stop me giving this a five-star rating: the side opening is on the left-hand side, but I am right handed, so have always slipped a rucksack off my shoulders from left to right. It would be good if it were possible to get the option when purchasing to either have a right or left side opening. The other thing that stops the five-star rating is the lack of a waist strap. There is a torso strap, but this doesn't help with sliding off the rucksack when I want to get at my camera using the side opening. This might be less of an use of I were left-handed, but I still end up having to removing the rucksack completely. Perhaps in time I'll get used to slipping the rucksack off my right shoulder (as shown in the image).

This is the only camera back pack I have found that works for me. I like the in 2 split, camera gear in the bottom, odds and end for the day at the top. Two back pouches for Phone and wallet. Just in the bottom I can get an R7, 10-18, 18-45,18-150 ansd 55-210 lenses, plus a spare battery. I can use the side zip to get just the camera out in an instant if I need to. It sits well on the back too. The bottom camera compartment can take mini locks if you are travelling. Would buy again

Amazing product, perfect camera bag. Alot of padding & durability. Heavy duty straps make for a very comfortable wear. 👌

Plenty of space within for my small tripod, camera and 2 spare lenses. Supplied with moveable soft dividers to protect your gear and create custom spaces in the various compartments of the bag. Tough cover to protect the camera from knocks and an elasticated rain cover that easily pulls over the whole bag in bad weather. As a beginner to DSLR cameras, i haven't used this much so can't comment on longevity but it fits all my stuff nicely and is reasonably comfortable to wear for the day. Has lots of clasps to keep things from falling out but would have liked to have seen better zips that you could put a small padlock through for extra piece of mind.

I spent a lot of time trying to find a reasonably priced waterproof rucksack for my camera equipment after a fall into a river and sadly that doesn't seem to exist. That said, this rucksack is fantastic in terms of storage - there are so many compartments you can take your studio with you as you travel, teh only problem being that it is tempted to overload and make the bag pretty heavy! Only improvements I could suggest are a waist strap, and maybe a preinstalled camera mount on the shoulder straps as mine struggles to stay on with teh thickness of the shoulder straps. I go on lots of hikes and this bag is perfect for that - cushioned back and straps really helps
