This one of those things ypu get to love and hate at the same time

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

This one of those things ypu get to love and hate at the same time. Functionally is great. I use it for Olympus m5-II with 7-14 and 40-150 with 3 extra batteries, charger, cables, flash, all lens caps, 12-42 kit lens, and plus I fitted extra t-shirt when I was going on hills around LA... but one fact is killing all this and that is in uploaded video, the ridiculous sound/noise from plastic that holds the strap. I was going crazy today in walk through the nature where the sound of these was destroying the joy. And for that reason I have to take out 2 stars unfortunately. I can't use it with this noise on each step....

Noisy, and already falling apart after 1 week.

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018

Falling apart after one week.

I didn't expect much for the price but I expected more than this. The fabric that connects to the strap is already coming undone. This means my camera is soon to be at risk of dropping as I am walking.

Also the thing is noisy. The plastic squeaks so much when walking. It's been very annoying to hear every footstep. Im sure that could be solved with some lubricant, but I won't be making any attempt since it's already falling apart.

Old pro review: A steal! Very good at any price; perfect for a mirrorless outfit

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

I’m a retired professional wildlife and nature photographer. Over the past 40 years I’ve probably used 25 different camera bags, many of them the backpack style necessary to carry big, heavy SLRs and their lenses on treks and overseas trips. Backpacks are great for carrying lots of equipment, but they’re difficult to shoot out of because, for most, you need to find a dry, clean level spot in order to open them up, and it’s easy to spill gear. So I usually used the backpacks for trekking and travel, and a slightly smaller bag to work out of if I’m closer to base.

That was then. Now my love of photography has been rekindled by the use of smaller, lighter mirrorless cameras and their smaller lenses. I still take a lot of equipment on a big trip, but now the backpack can be much smaller. (I’m now using the excellent Amazon Basics one.)

For typical day-use to shoot from, this medium bag has been perfect for me. It holds my Fujifim X-T2 with 18-55mm lens attached, a 10-24mm wide angle zoom, and a 55-200mm telephoto zoom, plus small items. That covers a huge range of photo opportunities in a very compact bag. (I leave other lenses, backup body and charger in the backpack.)

(Have you seen the reviews from people surprised by the size of bags they’ve received, or that their equipment won’t fit? Have they heard of a tape measure? Just measure your equipment at its largest point, then add about 1/2” for each divider. Compare that to the interior demensions provided. This bag has one row, 10.2” long.)

This medium bag is amazingly well designed and constructed and a joy to use. The styling is understated as it should be. The stitching and zippers are not heavy duty, but adequate. The orange interior makes it easier to see what’s inside. The faux-flannel on the dividers is soft on your equipment, but it might not last as long as shinny polyester. The padding is perfect: closed-cell foam in the right thickness to protect without adding unnecessary bulk. And mine, at least, doesn’t squeak! The top folds complete back out of the way.

Overall, a very good bag at any price, but a steal at this price.

You Get What You Pay For

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

Though more expensive camera bags will certainly beat it, you do get a good, compact, and versatile product for a very low price. The size is perfect for me; I only carry a couple of different lenses, and this size lets me take everything with me in a neat, compact package that doesn't get in my way. Everything fits inside nicely and the bag does feel comfortable and unobtrusive when worn. On the negative side, the materials do feel quite cheap. The neck strap in particular suffers from an almost impressively stiff foam pad and hinges that squeak every time the bag jostles at all. Also worth noting is that the bag is not weatherproof - it might protect your gear from a light rain until you can get to shelter in a pinch, but I wouldn't trust it in worse weather than that.

Still, in spite of its shortcomings, for a price a quarter of some of the other camera bags this size, it's difficult to argue with it. I would like to give it 3.5 stars if that was an option.

Pros:
-Very Inexpensive
-Versatile - Could function as both a light travel bag and a large camera holster at this size.
-Fits a lot of storage into a light, compact space.

Cons:
-Cheap materials - from squeaky hinges to weak clips to the stiff-as-a-board padding on the neck strap, you can feel the corners they cut to sell it this cheap.
-Not weatherproof - The foam exterior might protect your camera from light rain for a few minutes in a pinch, but that's it.

Compact bag that packs a ton

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

Perfect for protecting my camera and all its accessories when I travel. It's small enough to fit sideways inside the main compartment of my carry-on backpack, but packs a ton. Pictured here: my Canon Rebel T5i with attached Canon 28mm lens, Sigma 70-300mm lens,
Neewer NW670 speedlight, RAVPower FileHub Plus, battery charger, travel hard drive (in homemade padded case), cables, Rogue Flashbender, tripod mounting plate, Canon remote, neck strap, white balance cards, lens wipes, and folding wallet for extra batteries & SD cards.

It's protected all my gear well carried on multiple flights, as well as in a suitcase while traveling via car and train around Europe. When I inevitably grow out of it I plan to upgrade to the AmazonBasics Large DSLR Gadget Bag (Orange interior) as I've been very happy with the quality of the AmazonBasics products I've used so far.

Good value camera case

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a good small camera bag which I use with a GX8 and two lenses. However there are a couple of things that should be mentioned. i am not sure how much protection this bag gives from rain as the cover does not extend beyond the sides. There are a couple of small flaps which are supposed to help but I personally would not take this out in heavy rain. The other annoyance is the plastic swivel clips on the shoulder strap. They squeak as you walk. I know this may sound stupid but it really gets irritating after a while. That being said it is amazing value at £15.

Great bag for the light traveller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2020

I wasn't sure if this would be enough for what I had. I haven't brought many Amazon Basic things but there were a few people online who recommended this bag in particular. So I decided to get one! It's really great actually. There 2 pouches for your batteries, a little zip pocket for your SD cards. There are 3 compartments which allow you to fit your cables, camera and lenses in. There is a front pocket for your camera wipes or mini tripod. It's a great little bag for the value!

Style vs Substance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2019

This bag is great for popping in single kits or bits of gear. I have a couple of these that hold various kits on set so I know they're safe and secure. It has a really nice amount of padding which is perfect for peace of mind. Fitting most items in I'm yet to find something I want to store in it that won't fit. Although I haven't tested it against the elements that is the British weather it feels sturdy and I really can't see it having any issues.

It's been with me from Japan to London and looks brand new. Although missing a slight bit of form factor and I could do without the Amazong Basic logo slapped on the front there's not much else I could ask from a bag like this.

A very good buy . . . .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2017

I bought the medium size version of this as a gift for a friend's son. I was so impressed with it that I immediately bought another for myself. A well made item perfect for my needs. I use an additional (velcro) divider from another smaller bag to sub-divide one of the compartments to accomodate my needs. It holds a Canon 55-200mm EF-M lens with hood, and M3 adapter, a Canon EFS - 10-18mm lens with hood, a Canon EFS-24mm Pancake lens with hood, a Canon EF-M-22mm lens with hood, a Canon EF-M 15-45mm lens with hood, a Canon EOS-M3 compact camera, a small puffer, a lens pen, a spare battery, and finally 4 lens filters.This is am ideal product for compact systems, very impressed.

Good little bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I needed a fairly small bag to drop a compact camera system and some accessories into - this was perfect and frankly a bargain. I have bought these Amazon Basic bags before and they are well made for the money. This one is about the size of a (fat) handbag/man-bag - if there is such a thing as a generic sized handbag! Good for what I needed and probably perfect for taking a light camera system on a day trip. Well made, well padded, Comfortable padded strap, plenty of pockets: £10 + VAT: What's not to like?
