If you're looking for budget alternatives to these bags, AmazonBasics offers a pretty good bag meant for camera accessories, but works the same!

I own a different model of the AmazonBasics camera bag that is $10 more but has an additional compartment for a laptop or 9-pocket binder. Love the thing. Quality of the smaller dividers is a little suspect, but otherwise seems high quality and if the small dividers are a problem you can substitute the Pirate Lab ones (the longer Pirate Lab dividers will not fit, since my bag is a little smaller).

I want to start by saying I’m not affiliated with Amazon, nor are any of the links affiliate links. I’m just a guy that looks for good bargains and wants to share what I found.

Background:


I live in Austria and I’ve been flying micros, the TinyHawk, Mobula7, M80, and a custom 65mm since the beginning of the year in my apartment. Austria has super strict laws regarding UAV’s and you need an expensive license to fly anything larger than 250 grams. Under 250g’s, you’re free to fly as you please as long as you’re not flying around a populated area. I decided to go with micros for the time being to keep myself under the radar and get my flight time in before I eventually move back to the states in a couple years.

I’m generally a price conscious person and I’ll spend a lot of time looking for good deals, usually through Banggood. I’ll stuff something in my wishlist and wait for it to go on sale, the transmitter I got for 85€, goggles for 40€ etc. So, when I started looking for a backpack to become a bit more portable and fly away from my apartment, I got a bit of sticker shock when I saw the prices on “quad bags”. A buddy of mine suggested the bag he has, the Lowepro Quadguard BP X2, but at 110€ it would be the most expensive piece of my FPV equipment, additionally I needed something that would be able to hold my 15.6” laptop that I need for school, which the BP X2 does not have the space for. I looked at the other big budget backpack that is recommended around Reddit, which is the Realacc Backpack, but again, no space for a laptop.

After digging and digging, I decided the best way to go would be to get a camera bag that has a laptop sleeve. Enter the AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack. I want to take a moment to say that there are 3 AmazonBasics bags that have the same description, only their dimensions are different, I’ll link the backpacks at the end. Fortunately, I decided on the backpack a few days before Prime Day and was able to pick it up for 27€. At the time of this writing, it is not on sale and is listed at 34€. I got it in and opened it up and immediately spent the next hour trying to arrange the padded walls to fit everything that I wanted to stuff inside. The timing was perfect because I would be going back to the US for a 3-week trip to visit family in 5 different states and I could run a nice torture test on it.

Items I brought in the bag for the 3 week trip:


15.6" Laptop, 3” Spare Props, QX7 Transmitter, EV800, Diatone R349, Mobula7, TinyHawk, Sunglasses w/ Case, Lipo bag with 16 1s batteries and 2 4s batteries, charger for EV800, 65mm Spare Props, Lipo charger, spare parts, mouse, magazine, school book, 7" tablet, charging wires for tablet and laptop plus adapters, pens, and screwdrivers.

Review:


Pros:

  • Price! 27€
  • The size was just about perfect. I say just about perfect with two caveats that are not enough to make them cons. I would have liked the top of the backpack to not taper in. The base of the bag is deeper than the top of the bag by a few centimeters. Similarly, the top of the bag also curves in on the sides a bit. Not enough to take away points, but enough that it is noticeable.
  • Zipper feel. It’s a funny item to include, but the zippers feel really good, not overly robust, but incredibly smooth.
  • Large laptop sleeve, good for up to a 17” laptop.
  • Straps felt secure, additional straps for across the chest and waist are provided to help distribute weight. I found that I didn’t need the waist strap and there is no way to remove it without cutting them out, I was usually able to fold them over themselves to keep them out of the way, but I would have preferred to not have them. I did use the chest strap, however.
  • Adjustable interior pads. These were really convenient; they gave a lot of options for configurability. I ended up not using the two longest pads though.
  • Front pocket held a surprising number of items.
  • The bag stood upright on its own with it fully loaded.
  • Fit as a carry-on underneath the seat of every plane I was on, including some small regional jets! (some planes were tighter than others)
  • Did I mention the price??

    Cons:

  • Side pockets are fixed with a Velcro cover. This may not be a con to some people, but I would have rather had a mesh pocket with elastic. That would be much more versatile for my usage, that being said, I was able to stuff my laptop charger into the two pouches. (Main cable in one, and the brick in the other. My brick is pretty small, only 80cm or so YMMV).
  • No straps on the outside of the front of the backpack to strap a larger quad. You could buy one of those adapters from ebay.
  • It does have a feeling of being a little cheap, in my travels I didn’t have any fraying, but other reviews I read have reported fraying and seams unraveling after only a few months. I was generally quite mindful of the bag and didn’t throw it around too much.

    Overall:


    You can’t beat it for the price. If you’re a budget conscious flyer like me, and lets face it if you stuck around to read all of this than you are, it’s a no brainer just go and buy it.

    Suggested Buckle Mounts for Backpack

u/JohnathanFoe · 3 pointsr/photography

For those looking for a budget-friendly store as much shit as possible backpack, I'd throw the AmazonBasics DSLR Backpack into the ring.

Pros:

  • Great price for the backpack ($40) USD.

  • Holds a 17" laptop without any issues.

  • Holds 2 camera bodies + their grips (Canon 7D Mark 2 + Canon XSi), in addition to 4 lenses - Tokina 11-16mm, EF-S IS USM 55-250mm 4-5.6, EF-S IS USM 15-55mm, Tamron 60mm DI 2 Macro with a ton of room leftover (I will be upgrading these shortly though and will revise then).

  • Side of it has a double-buckle hold for a tripod.

  • -Seems- to be rather durable so far.

  • Comes with a rain cover for the entire backpack it if I recall.

  • Enough room to store filters, extra batteries, chargers, a small hotshoe flash, etc., inside the compartments.

  • All compartments are adjustable (Velcro).

  • Outer pocket to store your cards/booklets/guides/etc.,

  • Lumbar/waist straps.

  • It's extremely low profile - most people would think it's just a backpack [assuming you don't have a tripod attached to it].

    Cons:

  • This is a sizeable backpack. Take a normal sized backpack, stuff it as full as possible... and this is still a little larger than that.

  • Lumbar support on this is bulky and can get in the way if you are trying to move around without it attached.

  • Accessing your cameras from within the bag is not quick at all - you had better have your camera out if you're looking to shoot fast!

  • Can get pretty heavy if you keep packing gear in it AND a hefty laptop (duh!).

  • Bottom of the bag is seemed relatively thin - in it's original setup (when first delivered) the camera is screen-down and butt-up against the bottom of the bag. Flip this set-up around as the Velcro allows you to do so and screen is then at the top of the bag and far less worry-some.

    Overall, for the price I would buy this again in a heartbeat as a "travel" bag. This went with me on an airline and I didn't have any issues. As for a normal every-day carry around (1 camera + 1 or 2 lens) bag? Maybe not - this is a little too large for that.
u/wiscokid777 · 3 pointsr/videography

Bought this one a couple months back. Well made, and has enough compartments for a couple lenses, my gh4 and my crane.

That's the bag I use. Radio, goggles, props, two tool kits, batteries, quad buckled into one of the tripod straps, and laptop.

u/monkeymanod · 3 pointsr/photography

hey everyone, I'm going on a trip to Ireland in a couple weeks and decided it might be time to pick up a few things. for reference ive got a Canon T3i and the 2 kit lenses. (18-55, 75-300)

I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to get a wide angle lens and after looking it seems like canons 10-18 is a good choice, and they have that in a bundle that comes with the 50 f/1.8 as seen here, which seems like a good deal.

Adding two more lenses means my case is WAY too small and after reading through the megathread I found this amazon basics bag which seems more than large enough, non descript and at a very affordable price point.

so is that all good for the price? just looking for confirmation,

thanks.

u/CheeseHumper · 2 pointsr/pkmntcg

I currently use this bad boy

As of right now I have 4 MtG modern decks, 3 MtG Commander decks (100 cards), a draft deck box (sleeves and basic lands for MtG), and 3 Pokemon TCG decks in the large middle section. In the back pocket I keep both my MtG and Pokemon trade binders and in the front I keep all my dice and counters and my notepad. I also bought a tube to hold my playmat and have that strapped to the side where the camera mount is in the pictures. It holds a ton and the price is amazing considering what they are trying to sell card specific backpacks with the same layout for.

u/Friscis · 2 pointsr/yugioh

Keep in mind this is the smaller DSLR bag Amazon offers whose inner dimensions have a Max length of around 13 inches, meaning your 14 inch mat may not fit. Therefore this one, while $10 more will probably be better since it has internal dimension of 15 inches, which will be enough to roll up your mat and not crumple it.

This is my favorite. It has a decent amount of space but is still relatively small and streamlined so it's easy to haul around.

u/DiThi · 1 pointr/vive_vr

I use this one to carry both laptop and VR equipment and it's awesome. You can even carry light stands for the lighthouses.

Always be careful with the lighthouses though, make sure they don't receive hits or the front is scratched.

u/PooTommy · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

My current bag (which I absolutely love) is the AmazonBasics DSLR Bag. I've had it for over a year now and it's still in great condition, even after taking it for many hikes and beach trips. My only problem with it now is that I am running out of space as it is a kind of small bag.

Pros: Cheap, good camera and lens storage, has a tripod holder on the side, it's well organised

Cons: Small size, doesn't look that great.. Honestly, these are the only two cons I can think of, and they are both subjective.

​

If you think this could be a problem for you, there's also the bigger AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Bag. I haven't tried this bag, but I assume it is very similar to the smaller one (besides size, obviously).

I've also heard many good things about Lowepro 450AW.

​

I recently backed the Boundary Errant on Kickstarter. It's due to arrive around November, but I purchased this bag as an "all-rounder" bag so I could start carrying my camera everywhere with me, such as Uni, as it has an optional camera insert. It's a little pricier but I believe it will be a bag that can last for ages.

I’ve been using the Amazon Basics DSLR Camera Backpack for a year now to carry lots of EDH decks in Satin boxes (4, but can easily fit 8-10), dice bag, two playmats, trade binder, and extra sleeves and boxes for limited/draft games. Best $30-$40 I’ve ever spent with respect to Magic. The bag has protected my cards and accessories in rain and snow.

u/Bioautomaton · 1 pointr/EDH

For less than half the price, you can get this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CD778LC/

It's what I use for all of my EDH needs. The back flap is great for binder(s), front flap for life pads, pens, etc. Side pockets hold spare sleeves for rares or hard sleeves. Interior is padded and rearranges to accomodate multiple deckboxes easily. That side tripod holder? Put your mat tube there with a bit of e-tape around it to give it a stop that's not the cap.

It looks a bit bulky but this is the first thing that came to mind

I also couldn't find the rocketfish case, eventually bought this:

Fits the wii u, gamepad, games, controllers, and all the cables.

u/thor_play · 1 pointr/EDH

I had the same problem... About a month or two ago I started trying to upgrade my own storage (14-15 decks) and ended up with:


https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DSLR-Laptop-Backpack-interior/dp/B00CD778LC/


This backpack is amazing for deck storage, but it's pretty full with 15. I'd imagine you're looking for something like a rolling suitcase, I guess
