Tamrac 3370 Aero 70 Photo Backpack (Brown/Tan) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reason for buying: Had a Slignshot 100 with D60 originally. Then I upgraded to a D90, which barely fit in the Slingshot 100, so I needed new bag! I saw this in a local camera store, loaded up my D90, flash, extras, and asked to borrow their 70-200mm f/2.8 to see if it all fits. Yup, it does very well.
**Edit Sep 2010 - Added Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX to my kit.
Equipment used in bag:
Nikon D90 w/Nikon 10-24mm with lens hood attached.
Nikon 18-105mm VR
50mm f/1.8
SB600
Charger/Cables
Note: Something will have to go to fit the 70-200mm f/2.8, which would probably be the flash in the top section. You could always get a Tamrac medium flash gun case and strap it to the shoulder. Then, you'd have all your gear in one nice and small pack! Actually, you can fit the 70-200 with reversed hood in the top, along with the SB600/800 in the top. You just have to have the flash in a soft case so it doesn't hurt your 70-200mm!
Pros:
Works wonderfully with the D90 with 18-105mm VR kit and would fit the Cannon 5D w/28-135mm lens. Please view the pics in the customer images section.
Enough room for and expanding D90 kit.
Decent nylon backpack construction
Discrete! Looks very much like a small backpack...not an SLR bag.
Nice color tan/black. I also have the all black and it looks sweet as well.
Fits water bottles in the side mesh pockets. A sandwich, light jacket, apple, can be stuffed in the top among other nick knacks.
Cons:
No weather shield. Need to carry a 13gal plastic bag or something similar to shield it from the elements.
Not quite enough pockets in my opinion. It does have a mesh pocket in the top compartment and a zippered pocket in the main flap. But, you can easily just throw your own gadget bag in the top.
So there you have it. The Aero 70 is simple and small yet roomy, which looks cool and can surprisingly hold a nice camera set-up.
I hope this helps!
