Endurax DSLR Camera Backpack for Photographers Leather Camera Bag Backpack with 15.6" Laptop Compartment

Snugly packed into my Endurax bag, I've got my BMPCC4k camera body, four lenses, and a DJI RS2 gimbal with all the fixin's. The bag looks good, it feels sturdy, and I'm totally happy with the purchase -- I thought, "50/50 this is going back for something clunkier, bigger, more expensive," but no, it's great.The velcro-foam inserts used to partition off the main storage space could be more numerous and varied -- you get two long ones that are bendy for half their length, and three short ones that only velcro on the sides (not the "bottom" of the compartment as the bag lays on its straps), which makes them a bit less structural. I'd like more of both, for some flexibility, but all the same I was able to divide the space up for everything I really need/want to carry in a bag this size in a way that doesn't rest the bag's weight on my expensive stuff.The sally port on the side could be a touch longer -- it doesn't QUITE open the full height of the storage compartment, but I think that might be a necessity of the structure. I'll have trouble pulling my BMPCC4k in a cage through it, but that is near the high end for size of a mirrorless camera body, so I know I'm an outlier here. And even so, the way I have it setup gives me a handy way to put a lens on the body before I take it out of the bag -- instead of setting it somewhere (perhaps in nature) to do so -- and that's great.Final remark, the only thing I'm not sure I like at all: the straps affix to the bag with magnets. That is, all the leather straps (real leather!) that appear buckled down (real buckles, too!) are not strictly "load-bearing;" the buckles themselves are cleverly-disguised magnet fixtures -- pull any strap to pop the magnetic buckle away from the bag and access the compartment. Extremely convenient, to be sure, but at the cost of some security for the bag's contents. If it really bothers me (which I'm honestly not sure it will -- the pockets are well-designed such that the weight of the contents is never resting upon the straps or buckles) I'll just slop some blue Loctite between the faces of the magnets for a semi-permanent seal I can break if needed, and use the straps in the meantime. Cannot emphasize enough how minor this nitpick is.In summary, I love my camera and I love my lenses and I need my gimbal and I'm totally happy entrusting all of these things to my Endurax bag. 10/10 would buy again.

I bought this for a trip from Florida to New Mexico. It enabled me to bring my basic camera gear, plus snacks and a few odds and ends. The camera portion fit with room to spare: my Canon 70D, two lens (no telephoto this time), harness, batteries, SDs, GoPro with batteries, chargers, and various adapter attachments. I also was able to bring my small Joby tripod in the tripod strap on the side.The top portion is generous enough that I had snacks, packable jacket, laptop (in the sleeve), chargers, book, etc.The straps were super comfortable even though I had it loaded to the gills and super heavy. A nice addition would be a chest strap, but it wasn’t necessary. The backpack hardly moved once I had it on and straps were tightened (which can be done while wearing it).The laptop sleeve is sufficiently padded and it felt safe and secure.It was a breeze through airport security. It’s the perfect carry-on size but still could be a personal item to be put under the seat it you don’t overpack the top portion.I ordered a different backpack and sent it back for this one. This one felt “solid” and seems it will get plenty of use before it starts to show wear. I shopped many camera backpacks on here and this one won by a landslide in my opinion.

I've been using this backpack for over two years. I wouldn't say I've used it a ton during that time, but enough for a meaningful review. The materials and construction are very good. All the seams and zippers are still in great shape. The design is well thought out, with a good assortment of pockets and interior compartments. It's comfortable as a backpack, and the carrying handle on top is also a secure, sturdy option. Both the canvas and the leather have picked up a few marks, but that's the nature of the mateiral and to me, part of the charm of this design.

I’m usually a skeptic when I purchase a backpack from Amazon. You never know what you’re getting from the pictures but this backpack was surprising built with good quality and comfort in mind. when I purchased it, I thought the top was completely separate from the bottom compartment, but when I received it, I realized that it was only separated by a Velcro pad. It was not a big deal to me because I could use it as a travel backpack when needed. I also had enough room for my MacBook 13 inch. You do still need to be very careful when sitting down your backpack because the padding is not very thick so don’t throw this backpack around with your expensive DSLR gear. I would highly suggest keeping your heavy lenses at the bottom to make it easier for the Velcro to stay in place. I have taken this backpack with full gear for a mile hike was comfortable during the hike.
