BESCHOIWaterproof Photography Backpack With Tripod Strap and Rain Cover - Large Capacity Rucksack for DSLR, Speedlite, Camera Tripod, Laptops, Lens and Accessories

I was a photojournalist back in the film days when the Domke F2 photo bags ruled. After Canon came out with the full frame, mirrorless EOS RP, I made the switch from my aging Nikon DSLRs to the Canon R platform. Since then, I’ve been expanding my hobby and my kit around astro, wildlife and landscape photography. Usually, I’m not packing my equipment into a remote site, so when I started looking for a backpack to replace my shoulder bag(s), I didn’t really need something as high tech as, say, a Lowepro. And I don’t like dedicated sling bags. I compared several backpacks under $100 on Amazon and chose the BESCHOI Camera Backpack. Its rugged and spacious enough for my needs, highly customizable, and has multiple access options.PROS- Size: About 24 liters or roughly the size of an average Targus laptop backpack- Customizable: Plenty of padded dividers included- Access: One big cargo area, w/ separate access “doors” so you don’t expose the entire contents (see photos)- Included rain cover- Separate laptop area: Bigger than advertised, fits a 17” MacBook Pro comfortably- Well-padded shoulder straps; padded and vented back- Doesn’t look like a “photo bag”, at least not to me- Price: About $64 on Amazon (list is $102.99), and w/ an 18% coupon available as of this writingCONS- Zipper pulls are not tamper resistant; too many elastic pull strings can easily catch on bushes and other obstacles in the field. FIX: I removed about half of the pulls and added split rings for the two zippers I’ll use most often; the split ring can also be inserted into the two-way zipper pull to lock them together- Bottom padding is the same as the rest of the bag and probably not adequate if/when the bag is set down a little hard. FIX: I added additional foam padding inside the bottom compartment.- No chest or hip straps. Since I’m not hiking long distances (1 mile or less) I won’t really need the waist strap, but would like a chest strap for short hikes to keep the backpack up on my shoulders. FIX: The shoulder straps are long enough to add a quick release buckle that acts as an adequate chest strap if I’m not wearing a really heavy field coat (see photos).I have a lot of gear in this backpack, and will switch out some for specific shoots (astro vs wildlife, etc). It doesn’t have room for extra clothes, raincoat, etc as I have it set up now, but it’s easy to rework when necessary. My kit list included in this bag is below — it weighs in at just under 17 lbs w/out a tripod, water bottle or laptop/tablet.Camera Bodies- EOS R6 w/85mm lens- EOS RPOptics- EF 200 f/2.8 w/Canon Mount Adapter- RF 85mm f/2 Macro (attached to R6 body)- RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro- RF 16mm f/2.8 w/ Lens Hood- TT Artisan 11mm f/2.8 Full Frame Fisheye- EF 1.4x Tele-extender (in a case)- EF 2x Tele-extender (in a case)Flash/Lighting- Canon Speedlite EL-100- ETTL Extension Cord- Headlamp Flashlight- 2 Mini-RGB Video LightsAccessories- Extra Camera Batteries (for both bodies)- Extra AA Batteries- SD Card Wallet- 2 Specialty Filters (43 + 67mm)- Canon BR-E1 Remote Control- 2 Peak Design Camera Straps- 10x24 Binoculars- Silva Map Compass- Jet Air Bulb and “lipstick” soft brush- 2 extra ARCA-Swiss Quick Release Plates- Swiss Army Knife- Emergency Whistle- Band Aides, Extra Meds, Ibuprofen- Spare Reading Glasses- Small Note Pad, Mechanical Pencil, Business Cards- Camera Rain Sleeve- Extra Camera Body Caps and Rear Lens CapsObviously, I won’t carry all this all the time. For example, I won’t usually carry the teleconverters, and seldom use the 35mm. I also have an EF 100-400 zoom for wildlife that will fit in the bottom compartment by itself with an RF mount adapter attached. The side access area to quickly grab a camera and lens is oriented so you hang the backpack off your left shoulder, which is opposite of what I’m used to. And, as I highlighted in the “cons” above, there are some things I altered to work better for me.Bottom line, for this price, this is a very customizable and roomy photo backpack that will allow me to store and carry nearly my entire kit, and can be customized for specific projects. Although it may not hold up over time for rugged, daily use chasing birds or elk, I highly recommend the Beschoi Photo Backpack for avid hobbyist and even for wedding or location professionals who can use a 1-bag solution.

Great Camera bag, holds alot of gear, comfortable to carry, and very easy to access what you need.

We upgraded our camera bag to a backpack. Similar backpacks at the camera shop were around $200. This backpack was close to perfect with it's upgraded zipper openings for easy access and mesh pockets. The pack is very well made and feels solid to the touch. The rain cover is in an outside zipper at the bottom of the pack.To make it work for us, we needed two additional items.The first was extra padded dividers ("Camera Bag Insert Partition Space Dividers Separator Pad"). Finding them required a bit of searching so I included the description above.The second was organization for smaller items. The interior mesh pockets work well, but cannot fit much other than lens caps/filters without packaging or SD cards. After having our packaged filters, chargers, usb cords, lens hoods, etc. fall out several times, we purchased this inexpensive pencil pouch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ8VPXLY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details which fits perfectly in the top pocket.Overall, the backpack can be well organized and fit our needs. We have two cameras (SLR and mirrorless) with three lenses roughly 8" lenses and have room for more.

I’ve enjoyed this bag but there are a couple things to know. The top divider moves and things fall through the cracks (not a big deal but good to know where to look for things). The one arm strap is starting to come apart. I feel like it hasn’t lasted that long so that is disappointing. I like the compartments and the backpack feature.

This is an outstanding bag for your camera gear! It is a fantastic value at the price point. I would expect a bag double the price to have this quality. Lots of storage and side access for your camera so you don't have to fumble with taking the pack on and off when you are trying to get that quick shot. Just unstrapped one arm and swing it around to access your camera. It holds all of my gear, four lenses, three in the bottom lens compartment and one on the camera. All my lens filters, extra batteries, chargers and cables and even a speed light with a trigger. It has an additional zip out pouch to on the side to hold the bottom foot/feet of a larger tripod. I have a Benro Mach 3 aluminum tripod with a gear head and it fits perfectly fine on the side with the tripod strap and pouch Has a side pocket for a drink bottle on the opposite side, a zipway rain cover and even a compartment for your laptop or large tablet, up to 15 in. I like the zipper compartment because you can access the very top area without unzipping the entire face. It has adjustable Velcro cushion dividers and even fully packed with all of my gear and tripod it is extremely comfortable to wear. I would have expected a bag of this quality to be double the price! This is a fantastic bag for the money and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Just sold my old rig, so haven't purchased my new one. But for the time being all my lenses fit nicely in this bag and I think the side access to my camera seems great. Well made. customizable (somewhat) and for the price, a great bag.

Ce sac correspond à ce que je voulais d'un sac pour appareil photo. L'appareil photo est facilement récupéré sur le côté sans ouvrir le sac au complet. Il y a suffisamment d'espace pour loger les objectifs et les accessoires et même pour y accueillir une bouteille d'eau et un lunch.Content de mon achat!

Easily customise for all item for short tour with one or two body with 2-3 lens. Value for money. Easily available in half price in aborde.

I saw the review by Gypsum Fantastic and decided to go for this bag.That review speaks volumes.This bag is perfect for travel, it’s compact and light.I’ve been able to put my GH5 plus three lenses, batteries, sd card case, tripod, MacBook Pro 13’’ (tight squeeze), Chargers and my SSDs and so many other things in the bag.The rain cover is also excellent.It’s very good quality for the price paid.

J’ai pris ce sac pour l’offrir à un ami photographe qui souhaitait pouvoir emporter tout son matériel en shooting et il en est ravi !Le sac est plutôt compact, ce qui permet de pouvoir le transporter facilement partout, tout en étant spacieux et pratique. Le sac a de nombreuses poches, pour plusieurs usages : appareil, objectifs, carte mémoire, ordinateur... chaque compartiment a sa fonction ce qui lui permet d’être très pratique en shooting et de pouvoir emporter tout le matériel photo.Concernant la qualité et le design, le sac est très beau et à l’air plutôt solide ! Il peut être imperméabilisé, ce qui est très bien pour les temps de pluie.Je recommande ce sac !

Auf dem ersten Blick ein schlichter, aber sattelfester Rucksack, der immer wieder anders verwendet werden kann.Durch das weiche Material innen drin und dem dazugehörigen Klettverschluss, macht dieser Rucksack eine gute Figur.Man kann den Inhalt immer nachdem Bedürfnis des Kunden verändern. Wenn man mehr Fächer brauch, dann kann mit dem Klettverschluss einfach die Ebenen raus nehmen oder verschließen.Es gibt viele Reisverschluss-Taschen und kleine Stellen, an dem Man seine Speicherkarte oder eine kleinere Kamera verstauen kann. Durch die super Lösung mit dem Stativ für die Kamera, hat man trotz voller Belastung keine Probleme beim Laufen und man vermisst ebenfalls den Becken oder einen Gürtel überhaupt nicht. Obwohl ich bis dahin sonst sowas eher gewohnt war.Was mir wichtig war:+ Guter Komfort, der beim Laufen auch nicht beeinträchtigt wird und die Qualität ist auch bemerkbar+ Viel Platz und flexibler Umgang mit dem Inhalt und durch dem Klettverschluss sind einige Varianten möglich+ Platz für ein Stativ, den man außen befestigen kann für unterwegs+ Das der Rucksack Wasserdicht ist+ Optimal für meine SpiegelreflexkameraPaar Sachen stören mich allerdings nachdem ersten Einsatz:- Der Rucksack ist allerdings nicht sehr breit für größere Geräte, aber dies weiß man ja vorher schon- Man muss manchmal schauen, wenn man ein Stativ mitnehmen will, dann sollte man auf eine Flasche verzichten und sie andersweitig unterbringenDer Rucksack macht auf jeden Fall einen guten Eindruck, allerdings sollte man sich nur mit normalen bis kleineren Geräten wie: Spiegelreflexkameras, Systemobjektiven oder normalen Geräten zufrieden geben. Größere Sachen sind entweder nicht tragbar oder sie lassen es nicht zu, dass man andere Sachen wie eine Flasche (0,5) mitnehmen kann. Dies sollte bei der Wahl berücksichtigt werden. Ansonsten hat mich dieser Rucksack bisher nicht im Stich gelassen.
