Product Description

Manufacturer Description

This ultra-sleek and compact backpack carries and protects a digital or film SLR (such as Canon's 20D or Nikon's D70s) with a lens attached, an additional lens, a small flash, and accessories. The Adventure 6 features a youthful, modern, and sleek design that, for security, does not look like a camera bag. In this uniquely designed backpack, the lower section is a completely foam-padded camera bag compartment, while the upper section functions like a traditional backpack to hold a light jacket, lunch, or other personal items needed on your next photo adventure. The front pocket features Tamrac's patented Memory and Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available. The foam-padded camera compartment has a weather flap and quick-release buckle for security and weather protection. Two mesh pockets on the sides provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. Two lash tabs on the bottom of the backpack can accommodate a compact tripod (requires accessory straps). The pack is equipped with an adjustable waist strap and an expandable sternum strap. The Adventure 6 also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing with optional S.A.S. products.

Memory and Battery Management System
Many of our camera bags feature the patented Memory and Battery Management System, which provides quick access to memory cards, batteries, and accessories. This unique system uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

Tamrac's Strap Accessory System has components that attach to the shoulder straps of most of our camera bags and backpacks to allow photographers to personalize and customize their carrying systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lightweight Backpack w/ Plenty of Space, June 16, 2006
By W. Vinas (San Diego,CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read a few bad reviews stating that this bag is too small, I disagree and I had to write a review myself. I was looking for a small, light backpack that fits my equipment snug and isn't loose and bulky. With a bigger bag, you're equipment shakes all around the back when you're walking. I don't need a student size backpack because I'm not going back to school and I'm not going to put textbooks in it!! This backpack has everything that I need.

Capacity:
I am able to fit my Nikon D50 w/ 28-200mm lens and neoprene strap attached, 18-55mm lens, and 50mm 1.8 lens in the main compartment. There is STILL room left for 2 medium size lenses or 1 lens and a flash. There is a zipper pocket in front of the bag for accesories. I am able to fit all of my accesories. There is also a large compartment above the camera bag for non camera stuff (Small shirt, sunglasses, water bottle) There are 2 more mesh pockets that stick out of the side of the bag and are not covered.

Comfort:
The backback is comfortable on one shoulder or two.Ot has thick non slip padding on the shoulder straps. It also has a horizontal strap to connect the 2 straps for a more secure fit. I don't use it.

Quick and Easy Access:
If you have it on one shoulder you can swing it around and get quick access to the camera compartment for that quick shot. Much like a sling style bag. I originally wanted a sling backpack like the Tamrac Velocity 7 or Lowepro Sling Shot 200, but the Adventure 6 is more comfortable like a regular backpack.

Now keep in mind that the Nikon D50 is one of the smaller DSLR's, and I don't have any 400mm or 500mm telephoto lenses.

Bottom line:
If you have a D50, D70, Rebel or anything camera of that size + 3 lenses and accesories and are looking for a lightweight backpack for about $50, then this is an excellent backpack. If you want you want a REGULAR "Student" size backpack, you might want to look at the Adventure 7 for $8 more. If you have a large size DSLR then buy the 7 series. If you want to carry around your arsenal of 10 lenses then buy one of those pro backpacks. You won't have quick access to the camera like this bag, though. I'm happy with the Tamrac Adventure 6 for now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fit a 20D with Lens Attached?, March 27, 2006
By Natureshots (Silicon Valley) - See all my reviews
Tamrac claimed on their sight that the Adventure 6 (5546) can fit a 20D with lens attached. I reviewed this bag at a local camera shop and it looks like a kid's bag! 20D with a lens attached, Tamrac should specify maybe a 50mm. I agree with Michael's review about the size and unless you are looking for a very small bag, you'll be disappointed. The size of the Adventure 7 (5547) seems ok, it's about the size of a standard student backpack. These backpacks have compartments for memory cards and batteries and other small items that I really like. Even though the Adventure 7 satisfies my storage needs, I won't buy it because of the tripod placement. You have to buy separate accesories to attach the tripod and the attachment is at the bottom. This bottom attachment is really inconvenient because you'll always should remove the tripod before you set the bag down.

For a better alternative, I suggest the Lowepro Rover AW II.

3.0 out of 5 stars Careful - Maybe Too Small, March 15, 2006
By Michael G. Lowe (Ames, IA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tamrac 5546 Adventure 6 Photo Backpack (Red/Black) (Electronics)
I bought this bag from the advertised specifications. Tamrac states: "This ultra-sleek and compact backpack carries and protects a digital or film SLR (such as Canon's 20D or Nikon's D70s) with a lens attached, an additional lens, a small flash and accessories."

Bullhot!

I have a Nikon D50 with a 35-80 lens and it does not fit in this backpack worth a darn. I had to remove all of the separators and still have very little room for a SB20 flash. I do not see how a additional lens will fit. However, this bags fits my Panasonic digital camcorder just fine - no accessories [lens/flash] needed with the camcorder.

The quality of the pack is great, it just doesn't size up for digital SLR cameras. I would either look for something else or maybe the next size up in the Adventure 7 backpack.
