Well designed bag with enough space for lenses
4 November 2017
If you have been struggling to decide whether a sling bag, backpack or normal side bag would be better, you'll probably like this. I wanted a non flashy bag that I can travel with so tried sling bags but the first one I ordered from Amazon basics wasn't very comfortable. It was costlier but looked bad and squarish and the zippers made hell of a lot of noise. The straps weren't very adjustable and it ended up putting a lot of weight on my shoulder and messing up your shirt.
This one is perfect - the straps are comfortable, can be loosened and the quick release strap holds it in place till you need to take the camera out. Swinging the bag to the front to take the camera out is quite easy as well.
I was a little worried that it won't fit my 70-300 mm lens but it fit in the top compartment which has an elastic strap as well. Right now I have a Nikon d3300 with 35 mm lens and hood attached along with the 18-55 kit lens, 70-300 mm zoom lens and a small gopro in the bag.
Unlike the official pics the camera doesn't fit so snugly as most cameras are smaller than the camera shown in the pic but it doesn't move around because it's the other end that faces downwards so gravity holds it in place.
It also has a raincover and a side strap and net pouch which can hold a small tripod or a selfie stick. Here's some pics so you can see for yourself.
I would say buy. Only reason not to is if you have a more lenses or if they are very heavy. The sling makes the weight come on a single shoulder. Seems fine to me as the bag is very light but with all lenses including the zoom in, I'll need to see if its uncomfortable after a while.
It's also got some nice pockets to hold lens caps, memory cards, etc.

Good Product , but with a catch

Product is good
Ample space for a entry level DSLR camera ( with 18-50mm attached) , space for other lenses , charger and data cards.
but same has been overpriced ( sold more than MRP value printed in package)

Superb bag. I am able to house my 18-55mm, 35mm prime and D5200 attached with 55-200mm very nicely.
There's a separate pouch on the top of the bag which can accommodate charger, cleaning kit, and some other random accessory. It has a attached raincover, which is well hidden. The quality and finish is also good for the price.
Overall it was a good purchase for me. Thanks Amazon.

The construction and material of the bag is very sturdy. I think it will last. Has enough space to put one camera body , one prime 50 mm lens , one 18 to 55 mm lens , one telephoto lens ( although telephoto lens does not fit vertically , you can find space and put it horizontally or in the upper compartment and secure it with the given elastic band. ) And charger and other accesories. The upper compartment is spacious and zippers are good quality. Altough as with any sling bag the wieght will start to put strian on one shoulder after a couple of hours of walking with it. Go for a regular backpack style bag if comfort is your number one priority. If you want something witch makes it easy for you to pull out your camera quickly then this is the right choice.

I purchase it but after getting it I found that it is very small. So plan to return it and order the bigger one. BUT SURPRISINGLY FOUND THAT THE PRODUCT ONLY REPLACEABLE NOT RETURNABLE. THEY DID NOT MENTION IT ANYWHERE IN PRODUCT PAGE. So be careful it is only replaceable not returnable. But yes product quality is good in hand. Prime member like me should get the facility to return the product or exchange.

The product is not found useful as it is designed for a camera with a standard 50mm lens and is not suitable for a larger camera like Sony A7RIII with 24-105 lens. The fitting is tight and uncomfortable for the larger camera. It may also not be suitable for cameras like D750 or D810. The space for the lenses is cramped and suitable maybe for small lenses only. Overall design is decent but the size should be increased by a couple of inches.

Very fast delivery. Size a bit smaller than expected but nicely fits all my lenses, stuff, camera nicely. Also by hiding the 2nd thin strap where the rain cover comes out, and using only the main strap, I can easily wear the bag behind my back and slide it in the front to change lenses and stuff.
I have fit my external led light, charger, power bank, flash diffuser in the other compartments.

Decent quality material. The bag has been designed very thoughtfully. You don't have to keep bag down to remove camera or gears. Just flip the bag from back to front ; remove camera and again flip it back.
Thought size is small, it can hold a medium sized DSLR and three lenses but very snugly .If you have a telephoto lens of more than 300 mm focal length, don't go for this bag, it wont be able to hold the lens due to small width.
Overall decent product in a given price range.

This could be for any camera user, fits so well, i even wore a rain jacket with the bag on me. For the macro or landscape photographer with a cam and 1-2 wide angle or macro lens, plus a external flash, memory cards, cleaning cloth, a diffuser, extra battery all in the main compartment and my extra flash batteries with camera battery charger and AA battery charger with a few filters with more space for my wallet on the top comparment is fabulous. Used the rain cover very effectively in the rains while using an umbrella. The best part is sling the bag to take out and put back the equipment. Weight of the bag has never been an issue, feels feaherlight. This is exactly what i needed to travel far. Wonderful product indeed !

It's a steal deal at the given price and has room for a basic kit. You can carry camera with one lens on it, two lenses in the holders and another long lens in the top compartment. It can also hold a light tripod easily. There are ample pockets to keep cards and batteries safely tucked. I quite liked the way how you can take the camera out and change the lenses without having to remove the whole bag from your shoulder. I have been using it for almost a month and I highly recommend it for the travel or street photographers.
