TARION Pro PB-01 Extra Large Camera Backpack

Ok I've waited for 3 months of use before deciding to write a review as I wanted to use it in the field and 'real life' not just to add my thoughts as a review on opening it up as soon as I received it. So after three month and a lot of walking and use, I must say this fits the bill very well. I wanted a bag large enough to carry my Olympus m4/3rds camera with several lenses including the 40-100 Pro lens, all other accessories and my drone which I can fit in it's original soft case in to the lower compartment with on occasions I have stuffed either side of it either spare jumpers, lightweight jackets, gloves, and even managed to get my filter case in with the drone also in this compartment, its really handy to be able to carry my drone in its case as I can split it easy enough then. The drone is a DJI mini 3 Pro but even better, the bag actually comes with another bag inside a bit larger the DJI bag, so you could use this for a drone or further camera equipment. My camera equipment I put in the top compartment and it has several soft velcro partitioners to segregate stuff as required, it also comes with a waterproof cover. Waist strap and chest straps are good and the emergency whistle on the chest straps helps get my deaf dogs attention. Side mesh pockets both sides, I usually carry a sit mat with a small tarp in one and the other I carry my tripod or bottle. Two great external pockets one being hard which I carry my phone is and the cargo net is great for stuffing coats or jumpers under once it gets a bit warm. Waist belt has two small pockets for keys etc. Overall this has plenty of storage and great features. If I don't need my drone that bottom space is good for using as a normal rucksack and crammed full with equipment and clothes. I wanted a large bag with compartments for camera stuff and or drone, but find I just stuff my drone in, in the original case it came with into the bottom compartment, as its smaller than the one supplied I can still cram even more stuff in around it. If you're after a large case at a great price, this is it. The ability to alter the sizing for individual back lengths is a great thought too, once on my back and loaded up, its comfy and stable and I have covered several miles now carrying this on my back. Another attention to detail, which I never thought about until I started using this pack is the hard plastic on its base so it stands up unsupported, so saves lying my pack down on mud/or wet grass as I have to do millions of times in the past! Three months down the line with a fair amount of use and two photography holidays later I am MORE than happy.

I have a couple of old camera rucksacks and bags, I think the newest is about 7 years old. I have a lot of camera kit and have recently added a couple of DJI drones to the mix, Mini SE and a mini 3 Pro. I wanted a bag big enough to fit camera, a couple of lenses, laptop, batteries, drones, drone bits and anything else needed for a weekend shoot. It needed to be rugged, protective and comfortable, if possible also reasonably priced too. I have to say that this fits all the requirements. First off the secondary bag is a nice idea, hiding in the bottom compartment and being able to clip it on as a belly bag is a great idea, although a little fiddly to get the clips in while wearing the rucksack once on an easy to access and comfy addition. Onto the main body, I use a Nikon D750 (or similar) and I can get this with a 24-120mm lens into the camera section easily, with the dividers being movable fitting in anything I need is possible, but you will struggle to get anything bigger than most 300mm lenses in attached to the body (obviously depending on make model etc, but you aren't going to manage you huge f2.8 800mm zoom in here). There is a sleeve in front of the camera compartment that takes a tablet easily then zips in place in front of the lenses, with outer cover zipping up again. There are two good sized front pockets with compartments inside, plenty of room for memory cards, cables, batteries, pens, notepad etc, well secured to. Then the bottom compartment, on arrival the dividers are flat in the bottom to allow the shoulder/belt bag to fit in, you could leave them like this and get some clothing in there, or waterproofs, its a nice amount of room, or like I did you can set the dividers to fit 2 drones. The pockets are deep enough to slide a sub 250g DJI drone into, with space for controller, batteries and even a screwdriver set added in the other storage bits. The outer cover for this section is well zipped and has a pair of web straps over the outside as well so it nice and secure. There are 2 big elasticated pockets on the sides with the usual straps to secure tripods, if you want them. Also the shoulder straps can be completely removed and adjusted to suit your personal preference and build, this is a very nice feature as I am tall, 6' 4", but I also have a fairly long back so these adjustments make a big difference if you are lugging your kit about for a day. With the addition of a separate rain cover I can't really think of any shortcomings for this set up, ideal if you have a lot of kit, adjustable for comfort with comfy shoulder straps, it feels solid and is very adjustable to suit. At the price it's being sold for it is an excellent bargain. I can only recommend.

I was skeptical about buying a camera bag from a company i hadn't heard of, but i am so glad i did! For long adventures this bag is great. Very comfortable at the right adjusted height, loads of space and easy access to all your gear. When i first loaded the bag up and went out it was pulling on my neck a little but adjusting the shoulder straps to the medium or large height made this bag very comfortable (3 days hiking in the peak district with no issues or strain). I had a sony A6600 with a 16-70mm on, a 10-18mm and a 70-350mm with a tripod on the side as my camera gear. Which left me the entire top compartment, all the pockets and lot of space left in the bottom section. The dividers allowed me to tuck a pack rain coat and waterproof trousers with a power bank, cables, bag cover, torch, batteries, gloves and cleaning cloths all in the bottom part of the bag with the camera. The top section had a jumper and food with lots of space unused. The pockets on the front held some lens wipes but remained mostly empty. There is just so much space that I couldn't fill the bag up completely. The camera compartment unzips and flaps down, the access to my camera was easy and organised which made setting up on location a joy! The bag itself is very durable, didn't feel heavy or oversized for me and was well worth the buy. Hiking with this bag was just simply amazing. The only complaint i have which is minor is, the water bottle holder isn't the widest. I have a shorter stuby 1L bottle which was slightly too tight of a fit. A tall slim bottle is best. The bag did make am annoying noise when walking where the straps rubbed on each other but that was fixed after I adjusted the bag to fit my height. Other than that the bag was well worth the money if you are looking for a combination of a hiking bag and a camera bag.

A nice spacious pack with a few short sighted school boy errors. 1st, no storage for the water proof cover. 2nd, exterior pockets are by no means deep enough for more the a few filters, 3rd, zips don't lock and 4th which I feel is a big negative is the carrying shoulder straps. The padding dose not extend beyond the strap stiffeners which causes the straps to dig in to your shoulders. Make no mistake, an hour of this and you'll be cursing this bag. Tarion should look at how other ruck-sake manufactures design their carrying straps and then fix what I feel is a major issue.

Great bag lots of space for cameras and all the kit we need to carry. It'll take 2 DSLR's and a load of lenses, flashguns, powerbanks, batteries, and a laptop/tablet without any trouble. Of course by this time you are carrying a very heavy bit of kit especially if you've attached a tripod/monopod to the outside as designed (or both one each side). There are compartments inside for memory cards and also a waistbag that will clip to the main bag should you wish to. Decent quality fabric, good zips, well padded shoulder straps make this a fantastic bag for the price. I'm delighted with it and feel it was a good purchase. A few niggles. The two exterior compartments are a nice height and width but they could be a bit deeper especially the lower one it looks like a good sized boxy shape but is just to thin to be perfect. The top hand strap feels a little flimsy, the bag sits great on the base with no effort but filling it up with kit and then lifting with the top hand strap feels a little insecure. The other slightly disappointing thing is although the bottom compartment is wide enough to take a long lens (sigma 150-600) the dividers don't work well horizontally so nothing fits above it. Some sewing to do for me. It's well padded and even with the little niggles it's a fantastic bag which I'm sure will last for years and most importantly keep my kit safe. It's incredible value for money and if it needed replacing I'd happily buy it again. T.

This exceeded my expectation. Firstly, I'm a photography enthusiast and prefer wildlife and landscape and can in no way offer more insight than my recent experience with the bag. Initially, it's bigger than I expected - even though I knew the dimensions beforehand, it's always difficult to know for certain if these are accurate. It's comfortable with multiple positions for the straps to sit depending on your height etc. Feels robust and zips are smooth. Each of the clips feel relatively strong as does the grab handle. There's decent places for accessories depending on how much you want/need to carry - which for my is a nikon D750 body, D5600 body, sigma 24-105mm lens, nikon 50mm prime lens and a MD-16 battery grip... that all goes in the top compartment just fine. I also found the space in the lower compartment, if left without dividers, is pretty handy for keeping sandwiches and other provisions if spending the day out. The additional shoulder bag was a bonus but not something I'll use often. It does clip to the main bag and sits around your waist... that said, I found it doesn't stay tight and has a tendency to slip down. All in all, it's not a bad addition if you need it... it also has it's own dividers. My only fault or criticism is not having a dedicated little pouch at the side for the tripod to rest in. I know it has webbed compartments but this still leave the tripod sitting quite high in my opinion... would have been better if there was a receiving pouch that dropped the height the tripod sits down a couple of inches. That said, overall, could not be happier with the bag.

The Tarion Pro is a robust bag. The straps and padding feel very comfortable, and can be adjusted to your height. The bag seems to have an endless amount of storage spaces, not just for your photography equipment, but also for a large laptop, and any other travel bits you'll need, passports etc. The bag seems to be very sturdy and well made. I have owned a lowepro for the last 7 years and I think this bag will keep me going for just as long, or longer! The main feature that drew me to the bag was the removable bag that can be worn around the waist or on a strap. This bag is perfect for quickly accessing a camera or drone or if you want a light travel day. As you can see in my photos you can easily fit a Mavic Air in the removable bag, a Mavic Pro would also fit too or a DSLR and some lenses. I've used the top section of the bag to store my M43 system and 2 additional lenses, I still have room for 3 or 4 more M43 lenses in there, bearing in mind these are smaller than typical lenses. Overall, on first impressions I highly recommend this bag! This is my first product from Tarion and I'm well impressed!

This is a first class piece of kit that now holds 3 backpacks worth of stuff. I desperately needed a new backpack for my growing amount of equipment, as a professional I have to adapt and I recently began offering new services which in turn required new equipment and new ways to carry it. This backpack carries my DSLR, lenses, memory cards, notebooks & GoPro creator kit, tripod, selfie sticks and a host of other items Im using. The included extra shoulder bag fits my drone and RC, it all comes together to make a single (and heavy) pack I can use on location shoots. First class! Highly recommended. This was not a free item, I purchased this after deliberating for quite some time over other options. I don't have the issue with the straps as mentioned by another reviewer, I set them for how I like them and later carrying is for a day I found it heavy (due to the amount of stuff I put in it) but overall quite comfortable.

I liked everything about it except for one feature the competing bag had going for it. The EVA hard shell is in the middle, which itself is fine as your primary camera sits behind it slightly, but I'm seldom whacked directly in the centre of the back and as the bag has wide set and stable plastic feet on the base, I don't see it falling over too easily or to warrant the case being there. Furthermore, it has webbing to allow it to not open fully, or much really, and with all of the compartments inside doesn't hold much. The bag I settled on has the EVA on the top (slanted at a 45), it's empty except for the lining and opens fully, using the collar of the main compartment to act as a table of sorts as well as a secure compartment closer to the back of my head which is where I get hit more often than not if not paying attention while shooting. Back to the bag at hand... Overall, the bags are virtually identical short of the colours used on the tabs and accents, of and this bag has a name printed inside liner on the main compartments. It's beautiful. The child bag is a great addition, but I mainly got it for travel via rail or ferry for walking trips. This bag allows full customization inside the main cavity. As i only have one camera and a couple of accessories I took the child bag out of the base and filled the compartment with clothes for the day or two trip, iPad in the back, camera up top and toiletries and cannabis goodies in the many supplementary compartments. Could use the child bag for a separate toiletries bag too depending on your trip and needs. Very versatile and well made, a buy!

rzadko to stwierdzam, ale plecak jest na prawdę przemyślany a po wykonaniu wygląda na trwały. Liczba zapięć i możliwości regulacji spora. Wersja z torbą z przodu i sposobem zaczepu do plecaka, odciążenia pleców rewelacyjna. Prawdopodobnie projekt lub pomysł dał inny fotograf wyprawowy. Plecak można zaaranżować w kilku wariantach: 1. tylko rzeczy , 2. rzeczy i sprzęt foto, 3. tylko foto. Tam się mieści jeszcze spory laptop. Mój dotychczasowy plecak nadal jest b.dobry, lecz przy dłuższych wyprawach, kiedy nie wiesz ile będzisz chodzić np. po górach, w tym jestem w stanie zabrać więcej sprzętu, mieć lepszą równowagę i mniej się zmęczyć, a więc ważne kwestie (zalety). Resztę pokaże czas. Polecam.

Recensione realizzata dopo accurato test in trekking sul Gran Paradiso: lo zaino risulta essere molto solido già al tatto appena tirato fuori dall'imballaggio, nella tasca in basso si estrae il comodo borsello con tracolla per le gite meno impegnative, che può contenere al massimo un corpo con obiettivo montato se parliamo di reflex di alto profilo, se avete mirrorless ci sta anche un obiettivo piccolino di ricambio, ma per fare quattro passi in città, è più che sufficiente e avendo il comodo fascione in vita, permette di non avere il classico dondolamento dei borselli meno professionali. Ci vuole un attimo a capire come dividere l'attrezzatura tramite i comodi separatori con velcro, e la gestione dell'incredibile spazio interno, permette veramente l'alloggiamento di un mare di attrezzatura. In ogni caso il vero best di questo zaino è il trekking, quello vero, con acqua, ascese difficili e tante ore sulle spalle. La struttura, gli spallacci, la cinta e il materiale sono degni dei migliori Ferrino, dopo quasi dieci ore di trekking in un giorno non ti accorgi nemmeno di avercelo in spalla, a patto di aver regolato bene lo schienale per la propria altezza. In più il borsello diventa il tuo migliore amico una volta attaccato anteriormente agli spallacci con le cinghie, e permette di avere sempre la macchina fotografica a disposizione, in qualsiasi momento, senza dondolamenti anche in questo caso, dato che il fascione viene comodamente clippato allo zaino dando una sicurezza e comodità unica. Per quanto riguarda la quantità di attrezzatura che può contenere, probabilmente un negozio non basta, ma nel mio caso una D750 con 24-70 montato, una D7200 con 70-200 montato, cavalletto micro della neewer, batterie, sd varie e tutto questo solo nello scompartimento in basso. Sopra rimane lo spazio per panini, pile tecnico, cambio, 2 borracce, se invece volete alloggiare altra attrezzatura, ci sono altri separatori per poter dividere anche la parte superiore. Nelle tasche esterne poi è alloggiato il copri zaino per la pioggia, portafoglio, occhiali da sole, e quant'altro vogliate metterci (di spazio non ne manca). Inoltre viste le spiccate doti da outdoor, non mancano due tasche retinate laterali (per qualsiasi evenienza), e le cinghie, sia per cavalletti ben più ingombranti, sia per giacche, stuoini e sacchi a pelo. L'unica cosa che potrebbe mancare sono le due classiche cinghie sotto lo zaino, ma in questo caso sono sostituite da due piedi rigidi in gomma per evitare che lo zaino cada una volta appoggiato in piedi, quindi non se ne sente troppo la mancanza. Voto decisamente 5 e consigliato a chi piace vivere la natura in tutte le sue forme con la propria reflex.

4 aydır alıp almama konusunda kararsızdım sürekli stoğu bitip satıştan kalkıyordu en son satışa girdiğinde aldım iyi ki almışım. Sağlam ve sert yapısı var. Yağmurluğu ile geliyor. İki bölmesi de derin ve geniş. Omuz çantası da harika. Laptop bölmesine 15.6 inç PC çok rahat sığdı kalın olmasına rağmen ve hala boşluklar var. Yan tripod bölgeleri çok sağlam. Fermuarlar güven veriyor. Çok fazla bölmesi var. Sırta aldığınızda rahat ve sağlam hissi veriyor. Türkiyede böyle bir çantayı çok aradım yıllarca bulamadım. Çok kötüleri efsane fiyatlara satılıyor sakın boşa para harcamayın. Amerikadan cinebags cb25 getirtecektim ama bu çantadan sonra başka markaya dönüp bakmam bile

Now, I'm no professional photographer, but I do own a Canon 30D with a 200mm Tamron lens, a 50mm lens, a 35mm Canon A1 film camera with a lens on it, and two other lenses for it as well. This backpack holds all of them perfectly with extra space for my film autowinder, extra rolls of film, and other extra little gear like tripod attachments, camera straps, and remotes. This thing is incredible. I got this backpack because I was tired of having camera equipment lying around because it wouldn't fit in my smaller bag. I wanted to be able to store everything in one spot and be able to know where everything is. I also wanted a backpack I can grow into, so I needed one with extra space for when I upgrade my camera body and buy additional lenses. This has everything and more. I had spinal fusion surgery a little under 5 years ago to correct scoliosis and I have 15 of my vertebrae fused. Ever since then, finding a backpack that doesn't cause me serious amounts of back pain has been a challenge, which sucks because I'm an avid hiker and carry heavy gear on those hikes. Because of the ability to adjust the tops of the straps on the backpack, as well as there being a chest strap and waist belt, I can have my backpack fully loaded, weighing well over 15 pounds, and I get zero back pain. Everything is fully adjustible, which is a dream. I also get a lot of neck pain because it is pretty much the only part of my spine I can move and bend, and there is always a lot of tension there. The included caribiner straps on the shoulder straps are amazing! I hook my film camera to it and it takes the weight off of my neck, which eliminates the need for a strap for it all together. I never would have thought of ever wanting something like that, but it was such a smart move. The laptop pocket is a little bit cramped when fully loaded, even for my 13 inch 2022 Macbook Air, which is already pretty slim, however I love the secrecy of where it's located and how to access it. The extra storage compartments within the backpack are amazing too, I keep extra Canon A1 batteries, film, and my CF card reader in those compartments. Though I haven't traveled with it just yet, I can already tell it will replace my regular backpack on more hiking centric trips. I can put both my film and digital cameras in the bottom compartment, and remove the top padding to put toiletries, clothes, and other electronic items in there. I think it would be too big to put under the seat on a plane, however it might on a bigger plane. If you're American, I definitely recommend having TSA pre-check so you don't have to unload this entire bag on the conveyer belt when in the security line, haha. The tripod slots on the side are incredibly smart. You can either put the legs into the cup holder itself, or there's a little pouch that comes out of the waist belt that can also hold the tripod legs. There are three ways of strapping it in that way, one clip strap at the top, and two adjustible ones at the middle and bottom. If you configure it correctly, you could also fit a gimble, gorilla pod, and even a drone on the side of this backpack. This configuration is on both sides of the backpack too, which is great if you want a gimble and a tripod, or a tripod and a drone, or anything you can think of. I haven't needed the extra waist bag, but it can hold an additional camera body plus a lens or two in it. It's great if you need the space, but I think it's a little bit extra for what I need the backpack for. Overall, this backpack is amazing quality and has amazing back support. I anticipate having no issues traveling with this, and it hold all of my equipment and then some. I highly recommend it for the photographer hobbyist, avid nature photographer, professionals, or anybody who just loves a good backpack (myself included). I didn't know a hybrid hiking / camera bag existed, but now I can reserve my 15L hiking backpack, with no padding for my camera (which I would literally just throw in there with a hoodie around it as padding), as a camping bag and just use this, which will keep my camera protected from myself and the elements. This thing also comes with a rain cover to make it fully waterproof. If you are considering other bags as an option, don't. You won't find anything better than this.
