Questions & Answers

Shopper : One of the reviews mentioned a problem with the belt size. What size waist will the belt fit?DOUGLAS W : My waist is 41" and it's no problem.SOPHIE O : I found the belt useless for my built (tall, slim, woman) and I am using the bag without it (it is attached with Velcro and easy to detach). Reason is not the overall length of the belt but the fact that the soft cushioned part of the belt is not wide enough to reach all the way around the hips properly. For this reason the belt is uncomfortable to wear and I wasn't able to use it for the purpose of taking some load off the shoulders. I also found that the bag does not work well in combination with the belt if you are tall. Tenba has done a lot of good things with this bag and I enjoy it a lot but in my opinion the belt and a few more features need improvements.
CAROLE L K : Will this fit in the overhead of the small regional jet airplanes?BARRY T : Not sure about the dimensions of the overhead of a "small" regional place, but I would certainly imagine so as I've used it a couple times on a commercial flight as my personal itemJOSE E : Yes it will fit.JAMES W : My only experience is with Horizon Air who use Bombadier Q400 turboprop planes and it does NOT fit.ASHFAQUESHAFIQUE A : Yes it does! I have traveled a couple of time with it.

Great Bag

This is exactly what we were looking for. We use it to carry two bodies and five lenses including a 150-600 and a 14-24. It makes carrying this heavy load relatively easy and is extremely comfortable. I also really like how it looks pretty normal and doesn't scream "camera bag". The side access is a little tight, but serviceable for the d810.

I could have bought a suitcase - I wanted a CAMERA BAG!

This product is so lazy and I guarantee it wasn't designed consulting a photographer. It is basically a suitcase with some dividers in it - that's it! It has not features to accommodate a photographer's needs. It is hard to open, it is bulky and cumbersome, the pockets are not designed well so if you leave a zipper open everything falls out, the outside pockets are basically useless, it is too big to use as a backpack (such a dumb feature), even the handle is hard to use. It has no padding inside, the dividers are cheaply made and it does not accommodate current digital equipment. It really is a terribly designed bag. I looked FOREVER online for a "real" camera bag, have not been able to find one. I had the perfect bag and it was stolen, never took the time to even see what brand it was but it was so awesome. Comfortable to carry, big shoulder strap, cushioned inside, amazing side pockets, Oh well - this one is ***

Nicely featured photo backpack

The Tenba Shootout 24L is well made backpack with plenty of pockets and features. It will hold as much equipment as I would want to carry on my back. Pros - Well made, airline carry on sized, rain cover, tripod attachment, comfortable/adjustable shoulder straps, zippered side pocket access. Cons - Waist belt is a little short for bigger people or bulky clothes. The internal dividers will protect the gear sufficiently, but are thinner than many other manufacturers. The dividers also pop loose if the "compartments are stuffed a little. The zippered side access opening allows you to access a camera body/lens without removing the backpack. However, the opening is small and does not allow for a DSLR with grip to fit through the opening. Claims the computer pocket will hold a 15" notebook, but it would have to be a very thin one. 13 to 14" maybe. Will be taking this backpack on trip to Hawaii, loading a full sized DSLR with 4-5 lenses, flash and accessories. Tablet instead of notebook and personal items. It all seems to fit. We'll see how comfortable it is to travel, hike and work from for 10 days.

Best midsize backpack for photographers

This bag is just unbelievably good. It's medium in size so it fits under the chair in airplanes. The side pocket like access to the camera means you can take out your camera and shoot very quickly without hassle. It has ample space for everything you need as accessory (escept large reflectors :|) and it will fit two camera bodies with lenses and additional 3 lenses. The material is of a high quality and it feels great on my shoulders. Oh and I forgot to tell you that it also has a laptop compartment which was the deciding factor for me in buyin this one. Absolutely love this bag.

Tenba Shootout 24L Backpack
The goal in creating the new Shootout Backpack was to design the most comfortable camera backpack on the planet - as comfortable as a bag for hardcore hikers and adventure travelers, but with a streamlined, professional look that would not be out of place (or draw unwanted attention) at a wedding or executive photo shoot. The unique Pivot Fit straps adjust automatically to different shoulder shapes, and each strap is covered in a moisture-wicking smooth lycra that moves easily and doesn't create friction on clothing.

All the materials have been carefully selected to deliver extraordinary long-term durability, but with the least possible weight. We use only nylon fabrics no polyester because nylon is more water-repellant, durable and tear-resistant than polyester. This is the ultimate "Never Compromise" backpack for photographers and filmmakers.

The 24L backpack delivers high performance in a perfect size for travel, since it will meet the strictest carry-on compatible requirements for any kind of flight.

The 24L backpack will fit 1-2 DSLRs with 4-6 lenses (up to 300mm 2.8 attached), plus a laptop up to 15 inches, and it weighs only 4 pounds (3.5 pounds without dividers).
