Firstly, the quality of materials used, is exceptionally high. Its tough, well padded and the zips are good quality and sturdy. This is the black one and ig looks reasonably stylish, with its compact design and orange detailing.The upper compartment has a top access zip. This zip is not protected in any way. This provides a potential leak point without an additional waterproof cover. Thankfully a rain cover is supplied, so thats taken care of. This section isn't large in any way, however is big enough for a couple of decent sandwiches or so on! The base of the upper compartment is however removable by way of hook and loop tape, allowing it to easily open up into one larger section.The base compartment has two access points. One against your back, for general access to the entire lower section and the one on the side, allowing quick access to your camera only. There are deviders supplied for this lower section and these are attached via hook and loop strips.Additionally to the above, there is an unpadded zipped compartment on the face side and a small external mesh side pocket. On the face side, are two webbing straps to hold a compact tripod and a grab handle positioned between them.Now to the actual review itself. The bag is very compact and the lower section is just large enough to squeeze in my Canon 750d with 50mm prime fitted, an 18-55mm kit lens and a 75-300mm zoom in the lower compartment. Now by "squeeze", what I mean is that I can shoehorn them in, just! Now remember that you can remove that divider and make it into one larger bag! The side access port has two small elastic pockets attached.The upper compartment contains two mesh pockets. These are just the right size for a filter or two, a couple of spare batteries and some SD Cards.Pro's:Compact, light weight, good quality, stylish.Cons:The base section is bit too small to carry the average dslr users kit. Accept that you will have to leave a lens or two at home or use the upper section fir storing kit and buy your food when you need it. It would probably be ideal for a Mirrorless or compact system user though.The tripod straps are well fitted, however even a modest tripod causes some access issues to the top comparment. The access zip would have been better relocated to the rear of the bag, just below the shoulder strap.The hook and loop tape is not strong enough and detaches too easily. The poitioning of the tape isn't ideal, as layout options are very limited. The lower section should have been lined with loop or a compatable fleece material and the dividers should have been a touch larger!The zipped compartment intended for a tablet device isn't protected by padding. This makes the tablet vulnerable to knocks, however it is also subject to weight stress caused by the positioning of a tripod! This wouldn't be a major problem, however my 7 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, is a tight fit with a thin silicone cover attached, so extra vulnerable!The bottom line is that this bag is a very good quality for the price. If you can live with some compromise, then it's really good value for money. If you need to carry more gear, then you should consider buying the larger version, however you really have do pay for the extra capacity!

What is there to not like about this bag. As a father to a little who often goes out alone with my daughter, this is so happy all the important camera bits in the bottom which is a great pocket as the main access panel is in your back your not worried about thieves. And enough room in the top for baby essentials such as nappy’s and wipes etc I own a relative small canon M50 but there is so much spare room I can’t see it being a problem to fit much bigger cameras in there. All the pockets are adjustable to for the best configuration. Great seller aswell as my bag did originally come with the free cleaning kit as advertised so they soo apologiesed and sent me another with a little extra as an apology. Very happy would definitely recommend.

Really liked the size and style but unfortunately the quality control was not good. Mine arrived with failed stitching. If it was not for that, I would have been over the moon.

Very good small backpack ideal for camera and a few other pieces. With detachable waterproof cover.

Pros - strong feeling material, feel safe wandering about and not worrying if a zip will break off (it happened with last bag) can access the camera compartment from the side which stops the need for taking the bag off.Cons - it's very snug on, even when it straps are at full stretch, I'm 5'7 and regular build. Not a huge space, I couldn't fit in my 70-300 lens in actual bottom part, have to place it in top half. But can fit camera, 2 lenses, charger, and strap in bottom part.

I really like this bag, its easy to get in to grab anything. There's plenty of pockets and space; obviously its only designed for a camera and a couple of lenses, but for other bits and pieces there's lots of space. The straps on the front do a good job of holding my tripod, and the backstrap is also quite comfortable for long periods of time.

As described. Have been trying to find a bag to house my camera, (Canon EOS M3) and two lenses. This does. They fit securely and room for other bits, batteries, lens hood etc. There's even an area that you could squeeze in a waterproof, if lightweight and can fold down into a small package. Side pocket to fit in a water bottle. Place for tripod. So, I'm very pleased with my purchase. Will be using as a flight bag on my travels abroad. As a cross-over bag, is comfortable to wear - it's not a fashion bag but is certainly fit for purpose as a camera bag!

Well made and comfortable. Won’t store 3 lenses in compartment but room elsewhere for that.

This is a great camera bag, ideal for an amateur photographer, easy to use and enough room to get everything I need in, the large top compartment is ideal for storing wallet, phone etc....The side door for accessing the camera is great, & it is easy to take the camera out / put back in. It comes with a waterproof cover which I have used a couple of times, & it keeps the bag & it’s contents dry. The straps on the front to attach a tripod work well & are easy to use. When carrying a tripod on the bag it doesn’t really effect the way the bag sits.p

Perfect for what I need, fits a d5300 body with stock lens, a fixed 50mm and a 70-300mm zoom lens, couple of filters, spare batteries, remote, and more. Has got loops for fixing your tripod, a rain cover included. Quite comfortable to carry around!
