CADeNCamera Bag Case Shoulder Messenger Photography Bag with Laptop Compartment 14", Tripod Holder, Compatible for Nikon, Canon, Sony, DSLR SLR Mirrorless Cameras Waterproof Black

I am getting into photography and getting all of the accessories I need so I can just get out there and shoot. This camera bag seems to emulate another brand, Tenba which is a very well-known camera accessory company. There are, of course, variations between Tenba and Caden but that is to be expected in order for the company to not infringe on design aspects. Okay, the size of the bag seems to be spot on, I did not show the actual dimensions but I bought the K11 size. The sizing states that you can fit up to a 15" laptop but, I don't feel that it can with your camera gear in place, it would be very tight. I have a 13.3" Acer Spin and you can see from the photo, it fits just fine. When I placed my camera gear in it, Canon 60D, 18-55 lens and hood, 18-200 lens and hood, 50 mm fixed focus lens with a uv lens attachment and hood, battery charger and charging cords, SD case (that came with my purchase, see one of the pictures), it all just fits with a little wiggle room. I did not use any of the exterior/interior pockets, really. There are tripod straps on the bottom of the bag which, with my tripod in its own carrying case, does add weight but it's still a great feature. Top zipper access, is great. Everything except the SD holder, is within the removeable camera case. If I were to cart around all of this and, my laptop, I find the bag to be too heavy. Will the shoulder strap hold up over time? I am not sure but it does come with a warranty. The cover is great as it can be secured with the shoulder strap so that you do not have to worry about it popping off. If you were to compare it to the Tenba, I would say that it fits everything more like their DNA 13 although their sizing dimensions seem to run smaller than this product in the K11 size. Contrary what other reviews may have shared, this Bag is not heavy when empty, at all and relatively light when not overpacked.Pros:-Great value for the what you are paying-Camera section is removable and VERY cushioned-Under carry for your Tripod or Monopod-Weather repellant material-Adjustable shoulder strap to use as a crossbody messenger bag-Multi-purpose bag when not being used for camera equipment-Top zipper for quick access-Multi pockets for smaller items-Additional strap to attached when you may be riding a bike-Came with an SD card plastic holderCons:-Unsure of long-term zipper quality-the K11 may not fit anything larger than a 13.3" laptop when all camera gear is in without adding weight and room-Velcro closure will not last over time (this is the same with the Tenba brand) but, there is also clip closure for security-The shoulder strap needs better padding-To put additional accessories; cell phone, keys etc. with your gear and laptop will not only add weight but it is too bulky (this would hold true with the Tenba bags).To close, I already purchased and have a Besnfoto knapsack which is wonderful and also a fraction of the cost of another similar brand. I wanted something more mainstream unless I am going away for a few days. I am VERY happy with both brands, Caden and Besnfoto. You will not be disappointed, at all. Just take care not to over pack. Lastly, I purchased this bag through Amazon Warehouse and even though it was described as Used/Very Good, it came with everything that the "new" bag has!!! Another spectacular bag!!! Thanks Caden!!!

Yes, it is brand new and I haven't broken it in yet, but the build quality on this CADeN Shoulder/Messenger bag is excellent. It is roomy and is easily holding my Nikon z50 and two kit lenses, plus a Nikon 70-300 FX with FTZ adapter attached and a fourth small lens (50mm f/1.4) in a case. (I probably will rarely fill it that full. When I am out shooting I like to have some space in the bag to make it easier to switch out lenses and accessories.) I like the center top zipper which allows access to the camera and lenses without opening the flap.The interior is over 9 inches tall, so it will hold some big zooms! There is also plenty of room for accessories. Interior pockets are somewhat useless when the lens protective insert is in place as you have to slip your hand into a very narrow slot, but there four roomy pockets on the outside of the bag (under the flap) that I will be using. I have two multi pocket filter cases in two large pockets to hold filters, spare batteries, memory cards, and cleaning cloths. The straps on the bottom easily and securely hold my tripod. (A REALLY nice touch is the velcro permanently attached to the bottom straps allowing the straps to be wrapped and not dangle.)Zippers seem sturdy. I do wish that the zipper tabs had eyelets in them so I could add some bright colored pulls. I may try to drill a hole in one on the back to see if that would work. The shoulder strap is adjustable and should fit folks small and big (like me). I wish there was a bit more padding on the cushion.There's room for a small laptop (a feature I rarely use) and two places for water bottles or coffee mugs (which I DO use!). The luggage caddy strap will be useful when travelling with a roller bag.And the price is right at under $40 US!

I bought this bag as a computer / gym / diaper / everything bag and have been using it for 6 months. I removed all the camera inserts.Pros:- sturdy- doesn't show dirt- good pockets/organization: small phone pocket in front and also a zip pocket (keys, maybe small wallet), medium zip compartment at the top of the inside, pen and small notebook pockets; back flat pocket for any documents (used it for passports and dog vet certificate during travel) or kid's artwork; mesh side pockets stretch well and don't stretch out of shape when empty- laptop sleeve is a perfect fit for 13" laptop- not too heavy- adjustable strap (caveat below)- great top access with a zipper, I love this feature on a flap bag- large enough for all of this: dell laptop, light scarf, small toiletries, change of (summer) clothes (not shoes), toddler water bottle and small blanket- luggage strap!! So many kudos for this.- I can see someone using the tripod straps as a yoga mat carrier.Cons:- unless the bag is quite full or has all the inserts, the flap is too long and overhangs the front by enough that it's not comfortable to operate and the velcro barely catches- the bag arrived with the flap warped, like the hard material inside the flap was larger than the fabric outside. It was really ugly. I used my industrial steamer to essentially iron it out to the point that it was acceptable. Otherwise I'd return it.- without the insert, the bag is floppy. I cut up a flexible cutting board and put it into back pocket to keep structure, which worked fine.- the sides of the bag at the opening which are supposed to keep rain out and items in are constantly hanging out and look awful and get in the way. If they put drawstrings through these so you can tighten them if it's not raining, that would help a lot.- I hate the velcro on the inside. It snags any scarves I put in the bag or my sweater when I reach in. It opens easily so you can't just keep it closed. I'll probably cut it off.- I like that the strap is adjustable, but I'd like to be able to adjust it shorter for the times the bag is really heavy or I'm biking.- I'm 5'2" 115 lbs and the bag is a little big for me. If it wasn't so floppy with the top sides, it would work better.- Not so much a con, but a fact of life: if you're going to stuff this bag, it's going to be really heavy. Maybe for the next iteration of this they can sew backpack straps into the back pocket, then this will be a dream bag!!Overall this was a very good bag to understand better what I want out of a bag. It's very sturdy and looks the same today as the day I got it (well better after ironing). All the hardware is quality and easy to operate and adjust. The strap never slips, the zippers never stick, the clasps are perfectly intact.
