Tamrac Adventure Backpack Review
emachine
The Tamrac Adventure gear carrier is a lightweight, uniquely-designed backpack that combines a functional camera bag, comfortable daypack, and computer backpack in one easy-to-carry pack. It holds camera equipment, personal items, and laptops with up to 17" screens and, for security, does not look like a camera bag.
The main compartment is foam-padded to
protect a pro D-SLR with a grip and
most 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses attached,
numerous additional lenses, a flash,
and accessories. The completely
adjustable foam-padded dividers
provide a custom fit to equipment.
A separate, completely foam-padded
rear compartment provides quick access
to 17” laptops, without disturbing photo
gear. An extra large top compartment
is ideal for lunch, a light jacket, or
other personal items. Mesh pockets on
the sides of the pack provide fast access
to accessories and water bottles. In addition,
there’s a foam-padded backpack harness and waist
belt for carrying comfort.
I don't use this bag in-the-field really, I prefer to travel lighter. I purchased this bag for flying, and it is a dream for traveling with. I would never send my camera through with my checked baggage but with all the new restrictions on baggage, I was having problems coming up with a way to have a carry on, my laptop AND camera all with me at all times and be able to travel comfortably. This backpack was the perfect solution!
