There are two mesh pouches on the inside of the lid for batteries, along with an extra zip pocket on the front for your phone, passport, or other similar necessities. Zippered access from the top makes it easy to pull your camera out quickly, making it well-suited to street photographers who want to capture a split-second moment with ease. Its compact size makes it great for short trips around town, to the park or to the beach where you don't want to be weighed down by a full-sized backpack. The Tenba Skyline 10 shoulder bag provides enough room for a DSLR with one lens attached, or a small mirrorless camera (such as a Fujifilm XT-20) with one additional small lens. If you tend to only shoot with just the one lens then taking a big kit bag with endless space for equipment is overkill. The waist strap on my 16-liter model adds stability, but it's not padded, so if you want additional all-day comfort from a fully loaded hiking pack, look to the 24-liter model, which has padded waist straps. It's made from weather and abrasion-resistant nylon and certainly feels like it's up to the demands of any rough-and-tumble road trip. There are additional interior pockets, as well as expanding pockets on the front for accessories or other necessities while side pockets and straps let you carry water bottles and tripods with ease. With its wide shoulder straps and deep padding, the Shootout 16L that I tested is comfortable and well-suited for hikes into the hills as well as shorter trips around town.Ĭamera storage dominates the entire inside of the bag, giving plenty of room for camera bodies and multiple lenses, although it's available in up to 32-liter versions if you're travelling with more equipment. On its product page, Tenba boasts of the Shootout series' superior comfort and it's a boast I can safely say is justified. It doesn't come cheap, but the Action X30's blend of lightweight, robust materials, excellent storage options and great comfort makes it one of my favorite adventure photography packs around. The padded waist strap makes long hikes comfortable but it can also be removed if you're making shorter trips where the additional support isn't required.
The outside straps are built with holding skis in mind, but are equally suited to tripods, and further function as compression straps to keep loose material tucked in when not in use. You can also remove the camera storage section altogether if you just want to use the bag as a regular backpack. The top section has a roll top so can expand upwards if you need to store a heavier coat for cold conditions. Mine came with a medium storage unit which was big enough for a DSLR and a couple of lenses, with plenty of room in the main compartment for additional clothing, food or even things like a DJI Mavic drone.
The interior camera storage is modular and you can opt for different sized units depending on your needs. With rugged, weatherproof outer materials, a lightweight frame and comfortable, adjustable shoulder straps, it's a superb backpack for multiday adventurers who don't want to be limited by gear. You can opt for one of the larger internal units, along with a variety of other straps and accessories, but they do add quite a lot on to the price.Īction by name, action by nature Shimoda's Action X30 is ready for anything the mountain can throw at it. The medium unit also keeps more of the rest of the bag available for other items (a jacket, some snacks) that you might want on your journey.
EXPEDITION CONDOR 2 BACKPACK PLUS
The medium unit has plenty of space for a camera and at least one lens, plus accessories, but if you shoot on smaller mirrorless cameras like the Fujifilm XT-20 you could comfortably pack a lot more in. My review model came with the "Essentials bundle," which includes a medium internal camera unit and a rain cover. Inside you have the option of what sort of camera storage unit you need. Its chest and waist straps are comfortable and supportive while the outer materials feel robust and are weather resistant. Whether that's fast hiking, cycling or trail running, the bag's exceptional light weight makes it great for always having a proper camera setup with you.
F-Stop's Kashmir 30L backpack is a superb choice for more active photographers.
