K&F Concept Camera Backpack for Photographers Large Waterproof Photography Camera Bag with Laptop/Tripod Compartment for Men Women - Backpack 18L Nature Wander 05(Dark gray)
SKU: KF13.140V1
First of all: The backpack is not “cheap”, neither in terms of price nor workmanship. The following criteria were decisive for my selection: - Intended use: daypack - Stylish, not a typical backpack design, but also not overly retro - Not too big - Still room for a system camera and at least 2 lenses, a small panoramic head as well as various filters and spare batteries etc. - Tripod holder - Still space for MacBook (12") and separate compartment for "non-camera things" - Rainproof - Padded back, comfortable to carry - Camera cannot be removed from the front but from the back, also on the side - Backpack stands if you put it down - Durable, well made The K&F Concept fully meets these requirements. I find it very pleasant that under the magnetic fasteners of the "pseudo buckles" there is either a zipper (at the front) or an inner pocket secured with a drawstring (at the top). . This means that the compartments are easy to open, but still secured and the contents are at least protected against a short shower. A waist strap would be pleasant, but is not necessary for the intended purpose: It is not a hiking backpack but a companion in the city or on short day trips. So far, after several months of use, I haven't noticed any signs of wear and tear. Therefore full marks.

highly recommended backpack for starters. It offers enough space for the camera with the lens attached and two additional lenses and a few accessories (charger, filters, memory cards and batteries). In addition, a little luggage fits in the upper compartment (e.g. food and drink. Wallets and keys can also be stowed in the upper compartment. Even a 10" tablet still fits in, as the upper compartment at the front is still tablet-thick to the floor . The side compartment for the camera is very practical because you don't have to completely remove the backpack to get to the camera. The side compartment for the tripod is a little narrow, but with a little fumbling you can get the tripod in there too. If you don't have the tripod, you can alternatively take a drink bottle with you (1L bottle volume). Now to the negative point. In warm weather, you get a more or less wet back with the backpack. Unfortunately, the ventilation is not optimal. For a beginner like me , I still think the backpack is ideal because it is still affordable and offers a lot of space.

In itself a very good inexpensive camera backpack. The only thing I complain about is that the separation between the camera compartment and the "normal" compartment is not built more firmly, it's not bad that this is flexible, but if you put a bottle of water in the top and don't have the camera in the bottom, the whole thing becomes more unstable ... That's too bad. Otherwise nothing to complain about :)

From a purely visual point of view, the backpack is well done - however, compared to the product images shown here, the leather appears more yellow. There may also be room in the backpack for small photographic equipment. But as soon as you want to transport several lenses and accessories, things get tight. In addition, in my opinion, the bodysuit cannot really be stowed away safely because it doesn't fit tightly enough. Depending on the position, it can happen that the bodysuit slips out of its compartment. When you open the zipper, you should do it carefully. In my opinion, the number of small storage compartments, for example for batteries or memory cards, is a positive thing. However, I would have liked more compartments that could be closed with a zipper instead of Velcro. Due to limited space, I sent the backpack back.

What I really like is that the camera fits well and doesn't fall out of the backpack when opening it. The wearing comfort is very good, for several hours. It's not my first backpack. My first backpack (different brand) doesn't like it, it used to be so expensive and not versatile enough, and camera falls out when opened - see picture. I learned not to bring all my equipment with me, but with the goal of taking photos. (Then I don't have to play for pack mules anymore

thought and searched for a long time. Because I wanted a camera backpack, but it doesn't look like it, with side access and still room for other things, such as a bottle and a light jacket or if you need something on the go. There are a few models for this, but this one impressed me visually. Especially since I mainly want to use it in the city, when I go to visit friends and on excursions. The others were too sporty for me. I converted a larger Deuter for hiking. Because of the larger storage space, everything you need for hiking, apart from camera accessories. The backpack looks very solid and stands well. The back padding feels very good and the side compartment is easily accessible. The upholstery dividers are easy to organize and sit firmly. I asked customer service if I could have two more. Because you obviously can't buy them anywhere. They were really very friendly, responded to my email within half an hour and sent it to me free of charge. So really great! I fit everything I need into it and am very happy with the backpack.

bought the backpack so that I could neatly store my ever-growing equipment. I bought the gray version. The color is appealing to my taste and the material gives the impression of denim. On the front, a 10.5-inch Samsung tablet easily fits into both compartments. Depending on how the compartments are divided, you can store up to 8 lenses and a camera on the back. But now comes the crux of the matter as to why I will unfortunately be sending this bag back. The height to accommodate a camera is approx. 10 cm. However, my Canon Eos 7D comes with a battery grip and Arca Swiss tripod plate at approx. 17 cm, which is why the zipper could only be closed with great tension and a pronounced bump towards the back. Since I don't want to unscrew the BG and unthread the hand strap every time, the backpack is unfortunately going back. I hope I was able to help you make a purchasing decision.

Great photo backpack, it really fits a lot of equipment and is stored safely and neatly. I have been using this backpack for 3 years, unfortunately it is not waterproof. With a rain cover, your equipment stays dry. I have now bought the second one as a laptop/appraiser case. I'm very satisfied. Maybe you could attach a drinks bag to the side where a tripod doesn't fit.
