2 Responses to “Tamrac Adventure 10 Photo Backpack”
Carrying handle bounces about on the back of my neck. Hip harness can only be adjusted before it is on the back. Zip weather flaps jam the zips too regular. Has the comfort of a shoe box when worn. Side mesh pockets inaccessable while being worn, and that means you cannot use them for drinking water without taking the thing off. No place to put the tripod without paying for attachments. Attachments need to be bought for a usable water bottle holder. It also shouts out camera equipment too loudly
I need to right some wrongs in DCB’s review. 1) You can fully access the side mesh pockets for water bottles. I carried (2) 1 Liter water bottles, one in each mesh pocket and had no problem accessing them while wearing the bag. 2) The Hip Harnesses cannot be adjusted in any way not matter if it is on your back or off. The length of the waist belt though is full adjustable while wearing the bag. 3) I can’t imagine how the carrying handle bounces against the back on your neck because the carrying handle rests on the shoulder straps which are a good 3 inches from the back of ones neck. 4) You can pull the weather flaps back while zippering the bag. 5) As far as comfort this bag is made for taller people. I myself am 6′5″ in height and this backpack is the most comfortable camera back pack I have ever owned. It’s nice for a change to have a waist belt that actually comes down to your waist and doesn’t stop at your chest. I can see someone under 6 feet tall would find this bag uncomfortable.
I do agree that the area to mount a tripod should be improved. You have to buy attachment straps to secure a tripod to the bottom of the bag and the straps cannot hold more then 4lbs. A better design would be to secure a tripod to the side of the bag. The best advice to see if this camera bag is right for you is to try before you buy. Most professional camera stores should have this bag in stock and if not you can always return it.
