Superior build quality and function with sufficient WOW factor.
This is a 100% honest review of a product I received for free from K&F. So I already have two camera bags, a small shoulder bag and a larger backpack that I really like a lot (although the front 'buckles' have been cosmetic and attached with little magnets so they pretty much come off most of the time). So I got this bag from K&F Concept. What attracted me first was the sliding side compartment for the camera itself. It looks really cool, and it's really cool when you get your hands on it. It makes the camera look nice and safe and, well... It'll wow people every time you show it off. On the flap you open to get to the compartment are two small pockets for your memory cards and batteries – neatly located right where you'll need them. As great as the camera compartment is, the main draw for me is the fabric and overall build quality of this backpack. Just by touching it, you know this backpack is not only waterproof, but strong and durable. It's built to last and I kind of feel inclined to protect it and not use it in every photo, but we'll see. The laptop compartment at the back was nice and fit my fairly large Lenovo laptop without a problem, and the side compartment that expands via a zipper to fit a water bottle is a really nice touch. The top storage compartment is a good size, capable of holding (for example) a few books, a t-shirt or two, waterproof jacket, phone, phone charger and some snacks. If you were thinking of using this overnight bag before or after a shoot, you can get away with a few overnight essentials - toiletries, change of clothes, etc. there to prevent you from carrying another bag. The tripod straps are in a much better location than on the other backpack I have – on the bottom front of the bag rather than hanging underneath, thus reducing the overall profile of this backpack compared to the other one. and comfort, the bag looks well designed and ergonomic. I packed it up, made it as heavy as I could, then took it for a walk around the block and it felt great on my back - no sagging that could cause back pain or anything sticking to me. If I could ask for anything it would have been room for another lens and maybe another separate compartment for things like lens hoods and my wireless shutter release and remote control, but I imagine there will be room for them in the top compartment if not. I'm taking a lot more. I'm so glad I tried this bag as it's a huge improvement over my other backpack and I've already replaced it as my camera bag of choice even though the other one isn't even a month old! Highly recommended.
