Endurax DSLR Camera Backpack for Photographers Leather Camera Bag Backpack with 15.6" Laptop Compartment

I've been using this backpack for over two years. I wouldn't say I've used it a ton during that time, but enough for a meaningful review. The materials and construction are very good. All the seams and zippers are still in great shape. The design is well thought out, with a good assortment of pockets and interior compartments. It's comfortable as a backpack, and the carrying handle on top is also a secure, sturdy option. Both the canvas and the leather have picked up a few marks, but that's the nature of the mateiral and to me, part of the charm of this design.

Snugly packed into my Endurax bag, I've got my BMPCC4k camera body, four lenses, and a DJI RS2 gimbal with all the fixin's. The bag looks good, it feels sturdy, and I'm totally happy with the purchase -- I thought, "50/50 this is going back for something clunkier, bigger, more expensive," but no, it's great.The velcro-foam inserts used to partition off the main storage space could be more numerous and varied -- you get two long ones that are bendy for half their length, and three short ones that only velcro on the sides (not the "bottom" of the compartment as the bag lays on its straps), which makes them a bit less structural. I'd like more of both, for some flexibility, but all the same I was able to divide the space up for everything I really need/want to carry in a bag this size in a way that doesn't rest the bag's weight on my expensive stuff.The sally port on the side could be a touch longer -- it doesn't QUITE open the full height of the storage compartment, but I think that might be a necessity of the structure. I'll have trouble pulling my BMPCC4k in a cage through it, but that is near the high end for size of a mirrorless camera body, so I know I'm an outlier here. And even so, the way I have it setup gives me a handy way to put a lens on the body before I take it out of the bag -- instead of setting it somewhere (perhaps in nature) to do so -- and that's great.Final remark, the only thing I'm not sure I like at all: the straps affix to the bag with magnets. That is, all the leather straps (real leather!) that appear buckled down (real buckles, too!) are not strictly "load-bearing;" the buckles themselves are cleverly-disguised magnet fixtures -- pull any strap to pop the magnetic buckle away from the bag and access the compartment. Extremely convenient, to be sure, but at the cost of some security for the bag's contents. If it really bothers me (which I'm honestly not sure it will -- the pockets are well-designed such that the weight of the contents is never resting upon the straps or buckles) I'll just slop some blue Loctite between the faces of the magnets for a semi-permanent seal I can break if needed, and use the straps in the meantime. Cannot emphasize enough how minor this nitpick is.In summary, I love my camera and I love my lenses and I need my gimbal and I'm totally happy entrusting all of these things to my Endurax bag. 10/10 would buy again.

Everything is outstanding about this bag in my opinion. The leather seems very heavy duty and the canvas material is great! The zippers don't seem cheap. There's a little leather strap on the left shoulder strap for clipping things on which I didn't even realize till I got it. Also the pocket that the tripod goes in has an elastic band going through the pocket to hold it tight and it works flawlessly. All the straps are a durable fabric and not flimsy. I love that the padding on the inside is a soft fabric too. It's not too big and not small either.As far as the magnetic buttons go, I didn't want buttons or buckles because the items are not gonna jump out of my bag and why have buckles if there's gonna be magnets on it lol... There's even draw strings that hold it closed as well! But ranting aside the magnetic buttons are very strong! In fact, I can lift the entire bag by the leather top flap (with my gear in it!) and it still holds!The only things I don't really like is:~The magnetic buckle straps drape over the lower compartment zipper. But it's not that bad and you can always set the buckle to a lower hole on the strap.. But again I wish there was no buckle straps and that the flap was a little bigger instead.~the tripod harness connector is only one half metal, which I find odd, but 50% metal is better than 0% metal!So I'm extremely impressed! Thanks for the great bag, it will last me a long time!

I bought this for a trip from Florida to New Mexico. It enabled me to bring my basic camera gear, plus snacks and a few odds and ends. The camera portion fit with room to spare: my Canon 70D, two lens (no telephoto this time), harness, batteries, SDs, GoPro with batteries, chargers, and various adapter attachments. I also was able to bring my small Joby tripod in the tripod strap on the side.The top portion is generous enough that I had snacks, packable jacket, laptop (in the sleeve), chargers, book, etc.The straps were super comfortable even though I had it loaded to the gills and super heavy. A nice addition would be a chest strap, but it wasn’t necessary. The backpack hardly moved once I had it on and straps were tightened (which can be done while wearing it).The laptop sleeve is sufficiently padded and it felt safe and secure.It was a breeze through airport security. It’s the perfect carry-on size but still could be a personal item to be put under the seat it you don’t overpack the top portion.I ordered a different backpack and sent it back for this one. This one felt “solid” and seems it will get plenty of use before it starts to show wear. I shopped many camera backpacks on here and this one won by a landslide in my opinion.
