The AmazonBasics sling backpack for DSLR cameras is a no frills solution for taking a reasonable amount of photo gear with you when you don't want or need to lug your larger case with you. It's a great solution when you are hiking, skiing or just want a more compact way to take your essential camera gear with you.
The backpack is entirely black, no color accents or embellishment whatsoever. The backpack has a functional shoulder sling that allows you to pivot the pack to the front of your body for easy access to your camera gear when you need it. It's a fairly comfortable, sling backpack with adequate shoulder strap padding and an additional lower waist strap. There is a smaller zippered upper compartment with enough room for a good sized flash and room to spare for batteries, lens cleaning tools or maybe a PB;J for an extended hike. The main zippered compartment can be configured to your needs using a series of velcro pads of various sizes. There is also a velcro strap that can be used in whatever way you can figure out how to use it. Depending on the lenses you wish to carry and whether you want to carry the camera body with no lens attached, you can move the pads around to accommodate your needs.
I was easily able to fit my Nikon D300 with attached 80-200 f2.8 lens and flash in the main compartment, with a second 17-55 f2.8 lens in the smaller top compartment along with some other odds and ends.
The bottom of the pack has two rubber "feet" which protect the bottom nylon panel from wear and tear. However, the case is really designed as a backpack and will not reliably stand on its own when fully loaded. It's not intended to be a supportive pack that can sit upright on a floor.
Overall the pack seems reasonably well made and does provide a great way to carry a camera body, couple lenses, flash and assorted odds and ends with ease. I love it for when I'm hiking and don't want to carry a conventional camera bag with me. It's easy to swing the pack around to gain access to your camera when you need it. I do like I can carry a compact tripod or monopod on the outside of the backpack and the "hidden" pouch that tucks away to hold the tripod/monopod leg is a nice feature. The zippers seem beefy enough to withstand some good use and the quick release buckles on the straps function well.
I like the backpack and the price is just about right for what you are getting in my opinion.
I was looking for a sling bag, something simple. When I came across the AmazonBasics sling bag I had my doubts especially since there was (at the time of this review) only 2 feedback. With fingers crossed I placed my order and waited for the bag to arrive.
Let me preface this by letting you know I am by no means a professional photographer. I've owned my share of cameras but the camera I have now is my first DSLR (Nikon D3100). This bag is not meant to carry ALL your gear. This is something you would take with you on the fly. Lets get on with the review!
Quality:
Perfect! The stitching is great the zippers work flawlessly. The way the bag was designed was clearly thought out. When I'm wearing the bag I can rotate it forward and get to my cam without ever taking the bag off my shoulder. A+
Price:
You cannot beat the bargain for this sling bag compared to what is currently available. A+
Ergonomics/Comfort:
This is a great fitting bag. I stand 5'9, 170lbs and this bag feels great. After adjusting the straps I wore it for a good 1-2 hours while I was snapping pics. I didn't experience any fatigue. A+
Cons:
Right not the only thing that I can think of that would be negative is that this bag is designed only for your left shoulder. It is not ambidextrous.
The main strap goes over your left shoulder while a smaller, secure strap from the rear of the bag, slides under your right arm pit and snaps back into the bag. I posted pics so you can see exactly what I mean. Also I include a pic with the bag when it's rotated to the front of my body for easy access. I'm not going into anymore detail since it was already included. Feel free to ask questions.
