It's huge. You may want the medium instead. But if you have lots of gear you want up and/or out there, this is the bag. I'm not a pro. I'm a dad. This bag will hold my gear (medium format film w/ 3 prime lenses, filters, tripod, the usual) and my kids stuff, too. It's made very well. I actually bought a used one. After a while the zipper started to malfunction (not close). After notifying Tenba they sent me a new one. Even though they knew I bought it used. They said it was still under warranty. They didn't have to. They believe in making people happy to have Tenba bags... I am. And the new shootouts now have bigger and better YKK zippers. I'm sold on Tenba. From now on, nothing but Tenba.

In agreement with the previous reviewers, this bag is indeed a monster. With full loadout, including 6 lenses, 1 camera body, 2 flashes, tripod, and accessories, this bag weighs in at around 30 pounds. However, the bag distributes the weight comfortably. The system for carrying the tripod is intelligently designed, and the tripod remains secure without limiting access to the bag contents.

I purchased this bag so that I could carry my telephoto as well as my shorter lenses, along with both my flashes and the tripod. To this end, the bag serves its purpose spectacularly. However, this system is probably a bit to big for a casual day at the park. You want this backpack if you are going out with the intent of being prepared for every circumstance, and need to pack a good variety of lenses and accessories.

Based on my experience with this backpack, I would probably be able to recommend any of the Tenba Shootout line of backpacks or slingbags. The pack seems rugged, well-padded, and the weather-seal zippers are a very nice touch. Optional access to the interior of the backpack through the two side pockets seems well thought-out. Again, even fully loaded, the bag is surprisingly comfortable to wear. This is a testament to the ample padding, broad shoulder straps, and easy-to-use adjustment straps.

Big, bulky, but cant be better. This underprice back pack can hold everything and more. Nice materials, well done. Perfect and very rational design. I recomend this tenba to any professional (to much for amateurs...) outhere.

I bought this bag in 07 and have been traveling around South East Asia and the middle east with it packed full of gear.
The beauty is the bag does not shout "I'm full of expensive camera equipment, steal me!!"
Anyway. The wheels fell Appartment and I contacted Tenba. I thought they were going to tell me to sling my hook as it is over three years old. I sent photographs of the damaged wheels and the reciept and next thing I know is I get a "new bag"

You can't beat that.
In comparison to my..
"Think Tank" the D rings and metal clips are rusting after 5 months and the answer I get there is."bring it back to the store, let them deal with it" the store is in Bangkok Thailand and I am in Indonosea, what good is that?

I should have stuck with Tenba!!!!!!

This is a serious photo backpack. I am currently toting an 11-18mm, 18-55mm, 55-200mm and 200-500mm lenses, a NIKON D90 body, assorted filters, heavy tripod and ball head, battery charger, assorted cables, SD cards, a couple of camera manuals, camera and lens cleaning gear and other small photographers "junk". I still have room for a couple of medium size lenses and two or three speedlights.
This is a comfortable photo backpack. The harness system is well padded and secure, rock hopping on the Snake River or Bruneau canyon rims is MUCH less stressful for me when wearing this pack. The harness system conceals behind a zippered panel when not needed.
All in all a well thought out and well executed design. For sure has MY thumbs up.

THIS PRODUCT WAS VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND CONSTRUCTED
i USE IT WHILE GETTING GEAR TO THE CAR OR TO A JOB SITE

THIS IS NOT A BAG YOU WANT TO CARRY ON A HIKE...THIS IS A BIG BAG !!!

I'm a amateur photo guy and I wanted something to stow all of my equipment. Well....no problem there. After I loaded it up with everything..including my laptop ...I still had room to spare. That being said, I would not want to hump it over hill and dale. I found it useful for storing and organizing all my equipment. I gone to a two bag system....the second being a sling that I use for day bag with specific camera and equipment needed for that shoot.

This bag is rather well made, and light weight. The compartment for gear is rather deep. I meant to purchase the bag with wheels as I travel for my company and take alot of gear with me to photograph parts of my trip. I ended up returning this bag and purchasing the bag with wheels.

if the wheels aren't required for you, get this one.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and I saved money on shipping with Amazon Prime! Excellent deal all around.

This bag is very well designed and sturdily built. However in the end I had to return it as it was too bulky and heavy. If I was doing a long rugged trip it would have been a good choice. But to haul my equipment around for weeklong, light international travel, I have chosen to look around.

Great company with great products.
