SKU: KF13.087AV1
I have several camera bags now, and this one rates near the top of my list.The bag is rugged and heavy duty. It’s made for adventures. As somebody with a bad back, I appreciated the padding in the back.I love the side opening camera compartment. It makes it easier to grab your camera quickly (with street photography, etc).The one thing I feel I should mention is that it’s a little bigger than comfortable for me.

A very nice and valuable backpack. Unfortunately, at around €150, it's rather at the upper end of the price scale. It's comfortable to wear even when fully loaded, but it does start to feel a bit tight for me after a while. For the high price level and the wearing comfort, I deducted one star and still give it a very good 4 stars and a recommendation.

The camera backpack is sent in a sturdy cardboard box that is neutral except for a printed logo. The backpack is packed again in one of the unfortunately unavoidable scratch protection bags. Immediately after unpacking, you notice the high-quality rubberized surface and the good workmanship of the backpack. Whether it's the aluminum buckles, the sturdy clips, or the zippers, it all makes a very good impression. The backpack also comes with 5 dividers for the camera compartment and a base for the upper compartment, which can be attached with Velcro. A rain cover and 2 adjustable straps with hooks at the ends are also included. You can attach a tripod using the straps on the bottom and take it with you. On the other side there is a pocket for drinks bottles... In the upper compartment there are 2 small, flat pockets for small items and a key holder that can be removed using a plastic clip. There is a loop on the padded back that you can use to attach the backpack to a trolley.

Packed in a neutral box, additionally with a plastic protective bag. In the backpack there is also a rain cover, seven Velcro separators, and two safety straps/auxiliary straps to secure the front opening. The first thing you notice after unpacking is the high-quality workmanship and material (Fig. 1 - 3), but also the two straps with the aluminum buckles (Fig. 4) to secure the cover of the backpack. Here you will usually always find solid plastic buckles. Handling these aluminum buckles takes some getting used to and is also a bit more cumbersome to use, but they are certainly more robust than plastic buckles. All of the seams found are top-notch, the same applies to the zippers, which close the teeth cleanly after they are closed (Fig. 3) and thus make it more difficult for water to penetrate. The storage space is divided into a large and an upper - slightly smaller - storage space (Fig. 8), which are of course only separated by a thicker partition using Velcro and can therefore be connected into one when removed. The smaller - upper storage space - easily fits a 70-200mm 2.8 telephoto (Fig. 6, small photo) or two medium lenses. The larger lower storage space can accommodate the camera (with a 70-200mm 2.8 telephoto) and can also be removed through the side opening if necessary (Fig. 7). In addition, two medium lenses and various small items fit in here. The large main opening has a fairly thick padded pocket on the inside, so that a 16 inch laptop can be stored very safely here (Fig. 9). The continuous back padding, only superficially separated by a tension strap, is quite thick and appears to be slightly breathable (Fig. 10). In terms of storage space and its distribution, I can't find any drawbacks and therefore rate it as good to very good. Carrying comfort: To test it, load the backpack completely (camera, three lenses, small items and laptop) and then walk about four km through the forest. So for a normal photo backpack, the ergonomics and comfort are quite good, the back padding provides good cushioning, but if you walk a little harder you can't avoid sweating on your back. Ultimately, it's good overall for a photo backpack, and in my opinion it's absolutely sufficient for day trips (with breaks). Of course it cannot be compared with an ergonomically well-balanced, higher-quality hiking backpack. Summary: Overall, I actually like the material, workmanship, variability and wearing comfort (for a slightly better photo backpack). All together you can rate it as good to very good, but you also have to take the price of around €150 into account here. What I don't understand is how to secure the upper cover with the aluminum buckles. Although these are robust and look valuable, they take some getting used to handling. Carrying it on your stomach, with the backpack fully opened, secured with the two auxiliary straps provided, works quite well, but should not be overestimated. You should also be careful when handling this, because the carrying straps cannot be sufficiently secured to each other at the top, so it can happen that a shoulder strap slips over your shoulder and everything gets askew. If the contents of the backpack are not secured, a lens can quickly find its way out of the backpack. Overall, I get a good “Good”, at a price of around €150, so 4 stars with a 5 star. I would perhaps have liked a small external net for a drinking bottle, the bottom of the backpack could perhaps be a little thicker, in order to be better protected against impacts when setting down, but you will never find the photo backpack that is 100% suitable for you anyway.

I tried out the photo backpack and was impressed from the start with the workmanship and material. The backpack is delivered in a neutral box and is also provided with a plastic protective bag. Also included is a rain cover, seven Velcro dividers and two safety straps/auxiliary straps to secure the front opening. After unpacking, I noticed the high-quality workmanship and material. The aluminum buckles that secure the backpack cover take some getting used to, but are more robust than plastic buckles. The seams and zippers are very well made and close cleanly, making it difficult for water to penetrate.

Ce sac est d'un beau bleu pour tout âge. Solide jusqu'à dans les séparations qui ne s'effondrent pas sous le poids du matériel, imperméable, une excellente tenue, il n'est pas informe et se tient droit comme une petite valise, la qualité de ce sac est indéniable. Il est classieux.Les bémols sont qu'il a un poids sur les épaules, même vide, et qu'il ne faut pas attendre la fin de la journée pour le sentir. De plus, il n'est pas aussi pratique que l'indique la photo pour le changement d'objectif ou autre. C'était justement pour ce côté ouverture pratique que je l'ai offert. Le rabat est ennuyeux pour accéder à cette ouverture car il faut le retourner vers le dos du sac et les fermetures par crochets ne sont pas idéales. Mieux vaut des fermetures par clips. Au niveau des poches et du nombre de celles-ci, il existe beaucoup mieux. Bref, la qualité est bien là, la beauté et l'élégance aussi mais pas le côté pratique. Je regrette cet achat, vu le prix je m'attendais à plus de praticité et la personne à qui je l'ai offert n'en est pas satisfaite. Merci à Amazon pour la livraison rapide.

This bag had nearly everything I would want, but I really don't like the back opening. The bag looks waterproof, the dividers are interesting but would work fine, the side pocket is good. I chose to send it back because I really didn't like the back opening.
