Tamrac Adventure 9 Photo/Computer Backpack (Grey/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having greatly enjoyed the fine quality and convenience of Tamrac's Adventure 8 Photo Backpack , I eagerly purchased the Adventure 9 as a more versatile travel bag. I was especially interested in being able to consolidate my camera bag and computer bag into one unit.
The Adventure 9 certainly has more room than the Adventure 8, especially in the top compartment. The bag is sturdily designed and comfortable, and Tamrac have introduced some nice extra features. I like the removable inner pocket designed for carrying laptop and electrical cords, although it would be more convenient to have it adhere directly to the bag via Velcro, rather than having the cumbersome Velcro straps that lash to inner loops.
The padded camera compartment is easier to access than the Adventure 8, although one must be careful not to spill lenses and other equipment out on the ground.
The Adventure 9 is not all good, however. The see-through lined compartment has limited uses other than as a "collect all" pocket. Tamrac's special "Memory and Battery Management System" is pretty useless if if you utilize a memory case such as Gepe's CardSafe Watertight Memory Card Case . The memory management compartment just take up otherwise needed space.
Despite its larger size, the Adventure 9 has fewer compartments than the smaller Adventure 8. There are times when I would like extra compartments in order to stash small items and extra goodies, such as small bottles of sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and lens cleaner.
As a word of caution, the padded camera compartment is deeper than it looks in the advertisement photos. If your equipment is of standard size (in other words, not gigantic), you may have to be creative with the padded inserts in order to keep your gear from shifting or flopping around inside the compartment.
When accessing the camera compartment, the top quick release buckle tends to constantly flop down into the compartment. I'm constantly annoyed with it, shoving it out of the way to get to my gear, only to have it flop back into the way.
Both the Adventure 8 and Adventure 9 backpacks have waist straps. However, the Adventure 8 has a rear sleeve in which to stash the waist straps when not in use. For some unknown reason, this sleeve was not included in the Adventure 9 pack, leaving the straps to dangle needlessly below the bag. If it didn't reduce the bag's resale value, I would probably cut the straps off just to be rid of the annoyance.
According to the Tamrac website, the rear computer compartment holds 17" laptops up to 15 1/2" x 11" x 2". Most Apple notebooks run a bit slimmer than that, so access is not a problem. My computer, however, runs those exact dimensions and will not fit due to the compartment's zipper limitations. Tamrac should have designed a wider zipper opening for easier access. I'm fearful of forcing the computer, as it may tear the zipper or the compartment.
In conclusion, I was hoping that upgrading from the Adventure 8 to the Adventure 9 would allow me the same functionality as well as the added bonus of hauling a laptop. In the end, the bags shortcomings left a bad taste in my mouth.

Tamrac 3375 Aero Speed Pack 75 Dual Access Photo Backpack (Rust) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this bag for a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia, and it proved to be worth every penny I paid for it. One of the things I really like about this bag is that it is shaped like any other day pack you find in the market and as I chose the black version, it is very discreet. If you are paranoid, remove the small tag and it doesn't at first glance appears to be a camera bag at all. I did not face any problem taking the bag on as hand-carry, and the bag fits nicely under the seat in front.
I am a beginner DSLR user and I don't have a big kit, and the bottom component of the bag holds all the below with space to spare:
* Nikon D90 with the 18-105 mm lens attached;
* Tokina 11-16 lens;
* a big bunch of Cokins filters held in a filters bag
* a Holga 120;
* 4 unexposed rolls of 120 B+W film
* a pop-up flash diffuser
* a Optec filter holder that holds a B+W 110 ND filter and a polarising filter
* a blower
* extra memory cards

The upper compartment of the bag holds extra batteries, sunglasses, my Blackberry, an Ipod, a pen, a small notebook, a towel, a small torch, a light short-sleeve shirt (rolled up), sunblock, tea tree oil and a hand sanitiser. When I am catching the plane, the upper compartment also holds a small book and my passport.
The mesh side pocket holds my water bottle (essential in Cambodia). My tripod, a Slik Sprint Pro EZ fits into the mesh pocket in front, and is held straight with a buckle strap I got that I looped through the carry handle of the bag and the tripod itself. Not only is that perfect for clambering up and down uneven stone steps at the temple ruins with my hands free, it also deters pickpockets since you have to remove the tripod in order to access the zippers of the bag.
The side access flap is weather-sealed but the zipper is not difficult to pull open or shut. It also makes taking out or keeping the camera a breeze. In fact, for much of the trip I was simply putting the camera back into the bag once I am done with it rather than having the camera hanging around my neck, or being held in my hand.
The bag is touted to be weather resistent and I think that is correct. I was walking towards my bus parked at the end of a road leading to the back entrance of Angkor Wat when it began to pour. Heavily. As I was caught in the open, between the bus and the any other shelter, I was SOAKED by the time I got to the bus, but the bag successfully kept all its contents dry.
For those of you who carry laptops, this may not be the bag for you as it does not have a laptop compartment - you need the bigger version of the bag for that. I chose this model despite the lack of laptop holding capability because I am a small size person (5"2) and a bigger bag will just overwhelm me. In any case, I usually leave my laptop in the hotel or guesthouse when I travel, so the inconvenience is minimal.
The other weakness of this bag is that it lacks sternum straps and a hip/waist strap - the first can be remedied by purchasing strenum straps separately and attaching them to the shoulder straps through some loops there, or using a pair of carabringers. However, as I wasn't carrying anything too heavy, I did not find this to be necessary and it is not a big deal for me.
I had tried the Lowepro Fastpack 250 prior to this, but in terms of ease of use, and design, the Tamrac beats the Lowepro flat. The Lowepro was just too boxy. Also, while the Lowepro has side-access as well, the quality of the zipper cannot compare with that of the Tamrac. The advantages the Lowepro has over the Tamrac is that the Lowepro holds a laptop and I think it is slightly cheaper than the Tamrac.
All in all, a very good bag that I highly recommend for travel.

Tamrac 3385 Aero Speed Pack 85 Dual Access Photo/Laptop Backpack (Rust) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Executive summary: Buy this bag, it's exactly what you need. Trust me, I looked at the other bags out there, and this does everything, plus it's well designed, intelligently assembled, and generally perfect.
Detailed review:
I recently purchased my first DSLR (a Nikon D90), and I had absolutely nothing in the way of camera gear. I've been taking photos for a long time, and while I have a couple of cheaper digital cameras, my purchase of the D90 pushed me to find a secure, comfortable, easily accessible bag in which I could store the camera and everything associated with it.
First, a note about what I mean by "everything." As a DSLR newbie, I wanted to be able to pack and carry the following items at all times:
*The D90 body with 18-200mm lens attached
*Nikon SB-600 speedlight (large, external flash)
*50mm prime lens (fairly small, stubby lens)
*Quart-sized bag of stuff (extra camera battery, lens caps, flash mount for remote flash usage, etc.)
*D90 printed manual (just in case I need to figure out a specific setting on the go)
I also wanted a camera bag that met the following criteria, in order of importance (but all are required):
*Accessibility - I want a camera bag that lets me access my DSLR, with lens attached, in less than 15 seconds, all without taking off the bag or having to set it down anywhere (I also want to put the camera back in 15 seconds)
*Pack shape - I want a backpack, not a sling bag; I just don't feel comfortable wearing a sling-style bag or a messenger-type bag
*Subtlety - I don't want a bag that screams "$3000 in gear inside!" and I don't want a bag that is anything other than black on black
*Size - This bag needs to be sized for carrying onto an airplane; I don't want to check my DSLR and gear
*Comfort - I want to be able to wear this bag all day as a daypack but with my DSLR gear and my lunch inside, and I don't want to get back spasms from the weight distribution or from objects poking through the backpack fabric and jabbing me
*Aesthetically pleasing - Some of those camera bags out there look incredibly ugly; I want one that looked modern and stealthy, without 37 zippers or drawstrings or pouches hanging around the front and sides
*Security - Somebody else can't tear or easily cut the bag off my body while I'm wearing it, and the zippers and closures aren't terribly easy to open or unseal
*Mild weatherproofing - I'm not going to wear this bag underwater or in a hurricane, but I don't want water or dust to get in easily, either
*Manufacturing location - Although products made in China are of generally high quality at this price point, I want a camera bag made in the US mostly because I'm in the US and we need all the jobs we can get at this point
*Laptop space - My least important requirement because I don't plan to travel with a laptop all that often if I can help it, but I am willing to choose one bag over another if there's padded space for a laptop without compromising on the overall carry-on size requirement
As you can see, I'm picky. I'm also a product designer by trade, so I did my homework on camera bags. I narrowed down my options online first, and then went to local stores to try on bags, using all of my gear to see which bag would work.
I wasted my time. There were no bags out there that met my first two criteria, let alone all the rest. But then I noticed that Tamrac had just announced the Aero Speed Pack 75 and 85. The major difference between these two is the padded laptop pouch and slightly larger size of the 85. Both work as carry-on bags regardless of the laptop space.
I couldn't find any reviews for either of these bags, nor could I find a Seattle-area retailer who had them for sale so I could check them out in person. So I took the plunge and bought the 85 from Amazon. How does it stack up against my criteria?
*Accessibility - I can get at my DSLR, with lens attached, in less than 15 seconds! I love the side pocket; it's apparently the only current camera bag that has a side-access pocket on a backpack-shaped bag. Brilliant.
*Pack shape - The Aero Speed Pack 85 is a backpack. Awesome.
*Subtlety - Unlike the LowePro and other bags that have camera and tripod icons clearly visible, this bag doesn't really advertise its purpose. If you're into cameras, you'd recognize the small Tamrac logo and brand name on the front and on the strap, but I'm cool with that. Also, this bag comes in two color choices, and I went with the black on black.
*Size - This bag is a carry-on according to Alaska Airlines, so I'm happy.
*Comfort - The padded laptop pouch at the back of the bag forms a cushion between your back and the bag contents. It's one of the most comfortable bags I've worn, although it may make my back sweaty over an hour or more of use. That's probably unavoidable for a camera bag if you want it to keep out dust and water, though.
*Aesthetically pleasing - This bag looks nice. It's all black. And, it stands up on its own when empty or full of gear. Now that's pleasing.
*Security - Some of the zippers have weather stripping around the seams, which means they're hard to open. They seem like they'll get easier as I break in the zippers a bit, but I like this feature because it adds a little security.
*Mild weatherproofing - The weather strips around the zipper seams give the impression of mild weatherproofing. In Seattle, we get a lot of blowing mist rather than straightforward rain, so I'm glad this bag has the weather strips.
*Manufacturing location - Tamrac bags are made in California. Dude!
*Laptop space - There's a dedicated, padded pocket for a 17" widescreen laptop (haven't tested the fit, but it's a pretty big space). This means the laptop is safe, and I can take it out for airport security without rearranging all my stuff in my bag. This pocket also features weather stripping around the zipper, which is smart.
The Tamrac Aero Speed Bag 85 is precisely the bag I wanted. It's like the people at Tamrac decided to make a camera bag that solved all the design problems that plague not just camera bags, but backpacks too. This bag stands up on its own. I love that. There's a webbed grip on the top handle so it's easy and comfortable to lift. I love that too. These little touches demonstrate the attention to detail that Tamrac invested in this bag. It's worth the money. It's the right size. I can put my lunch in it along with my D90.
It's time to go take some photos!

Tamrac 5788 Evolution 8 Photo/Laptop Sling Backpack Bag (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already own a Tamrac Expedition and a Lowepro sling bag. The sling is good for short trips when I want to go light but the single strap can get uncomfortable after awhile. The Expedition holds a lot but access is not as easy- you have to take the bag off. What I like best about the Evolution is the triple access- front and both sides. You can set it up so the camera is accessed on one side and the lenses on the other. And you can use the bag like a backpack for long term comfort or a sling for shorter outings. Even with the Lowe sling getting my camera (Nikon 300D with zoom) out requires a little contortion, but the SLR is right there with the Evolution. It really combines the best features of both bags and has plenty of storage. I will probably get rid of the Expedition and continue to use the sling for quick outings and the Evolution for day trips and my major trip/shooting bag, especially because it has the tripod pocket and the extra storage. Build quality is good and the extra pockets all over the bag are well thought out and enable rational storage of needed items. This bag is really the most versatile I have seen as an all around bag for short hikes and long trips.

The Evolution 8 Photo/Laptop Sling Backpack can be carried three different ways: as a backpack, as a sling pack on the right shoulder, and as a sling pack on the left shoulder. With Tamrac's Triple Access System, there are also three ways to access your gear: through the front door and through two side doors. The Evolution 8 is perfect for a DSLR with a grip and up to an 8" lens attached, several additional lenses, a flash, and accessories. The rear, completely foam-padded laptop pocket holds most 15.6" screen laptops and others up to 15" x 10¼" x 1½" (38 x 26 x 4cm) in size. When worn as a backpack, the two foam-padded shoulder straps, waist belt, and chest strap distribute the weight. For quick access to camera gear, slip off one shoulder strap, swing the pack around to the front, and open the side door to access a DSLR with a lens attached. To get to additional equipment, swing the pack around to the opposite shoulder and open the side door on the other side of the pack. Both side doors feature two convenient memory card pockets and a pocket to store lens caps while shooting. To convert the Evolution 8 to a sling pack, cross-connect a single shoulder strap – red to red for carrying on the right shoulder, or blue to blue for carrying on the left shoulder. The other strap is easily tucked away inside the back harness. When the pack is removed, all gear can be accessed through the door to the main compartment. The internal dividers are foam-padded and fully adjustable

(More customer reviews)I had a fairly specific set of needs while looking for a camera bag:
- I wanted a separate compartment for misc. accessories
- I like the backpack style design
- I needed to put my 15" MacBook Pro in it
- and the camera compartment had to fit my Canon 40D with the 70-200mm 2.8 lens attached.
The first three requirement were easy to find, but finding a camera compartment big enough to be able to fit the camera and lens (attached) in it so i don't have to take off the lens every time I put it away, was a tough job. I got really close with some Kata bags, but in the end this Lowepro has everything I wanted. I've been very pleased with it so far (I've had it about a month now) - if anything, it's a little disconcerting to be as excited about the bag as I am about the gear inside.
The tripod that comes in the bundle is really geared more toward the weight of a point & shoot - I wouldn't trust it with my SLR and zoom lens, it's just too much weight. The cleaning kit is from the bargain bin, but some extra lens cloths and blowers aren't bad to have around. Not worth paying extra for, but the price for the bundle was the same as it was for the Lowepro bag alone.

The bag fits all of my equipment -- being able to rearrange the space in the camera compartment is great and the Velcro is heavy duty.
I had to fight with it a little to get it to come apart so that I could move things around.
