Hi,
thinking of getting a backpack for Laptop and camera. Any suggestions or experience?
I am thinking of getting Lowepro CompuDay Pack.
Thanks
Hi,
thanks for the reply. I will probably carry 20D body + Canon 24-105 L lens, Tokina 12-24 lens plus 580EX flash and blower plus spare batts. Do you think that this backpack has enough space? PLus maybe one 13 inch laptop.
Thanks
Bro,
I have a CompuDay Pack. I bought it mainly because I wanted to carry my personal laptop with me along with my Canon 30D and 24-105L lens, during my business trips.
There is an excellent review - along with great pictures - in this forum. If I can find that thread, I will post again.
Personally, I think this bag is great.
1. You can easily put the body with the 24-105L lens attached (along with the hood too) in the bottom compartment. You can readjust the separator paddings in that compartment.
2. The back compartment holds my Compaq laptop quite nicely. If you are not carrying your laptop, you can put a change of clothes, and a few other things like your toiletries etc..
3. The top compartment will hold your additional lens, flash, portable harddisk, cables, battery charger, passport, plane ticket etc. etc. and still have room for a 250-300ml water bottle and some snacks.
(In my case, it can hold the 100-400mm lens and some of the stuff listed above)
I have the following gripes about this bag.
1. Its not waterproof.
2. There's no support at the waist. If you load this bag with all the things listed above, its better to have a belt around the waist for support in order to carry this load.
3. There is no way to strap a tripod to this bag.
I don't think the bag is small, in fact I find it quite big and bulky when shooting within Singapore. So, I ended up buying the Microtrekker 200 for local use.
Let me know if you have any futher queries. I will be glad to answer.
