Hello,
I am looking at getting a new camera bag to replace my current one, I would like to spend about £35 on it. I currently have a Cwatcun Single Shoulder Sling Crossbody Compact Camera Case that I brought last year when I brought my DLSR and my first lens. However now my amount of gear has grown and I can't fit everything in it so I end up carrying multiple bags, my aim is to replace my multiple bags with one larger backpack that should fit everything in. I am looking at getting the TARION Camera Backpack Bag DSLR TB-s for £29. Does anyone have experience with this particular bag or TARION bags in general, if so what are your thoughts? If you have any other recommendations that would be very helpful.
My gear that needs to fit into it is:
  • Canon EOS 1300d
  • Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC Lens
  • Canon 50mm F1.8 STM Lens
  • Godox V860ii flash
  • 3 spare batteries for the EOS 1300d
  • Spare SD cards
  • Lens cap and body cap
  • Remote shutter release
  • K&F Concept 64 inch/163cm Camera Tripod (a bag with a tripod holder on the side or bottom would be great)
  • If possible it would also be nice to be able to fit at least another lens in the future
 
Having bought a few cheap backpacks in the last year or so, I settled on a TARION back sling. Very reasonably priced. Lightweight and very good quality. Very pleased with mine.

Thank you for your reply, based on the reviews on Amazon I thought it looked good, and also based on your reply it seems like they make some good products. I will wait and see if anybody else has anything to say and then purchase it.
 
I have a Tarion Backpack (TR-L) purchased new about 2 months ago.

On the plus side, it is well designed for its size, lightweight, water resistant and relatively cheap.

On the negative I find the internals low quality. After about a dozen uses the "velcro" panels are losing their grip and the fabric itself is getting frayed. The backstraps are ok but not well padded and a centimetre too thin and on my frame not suitable for carrying approx 3 kilos of kit for more than a couple of hours.

Thank you for your reply, overall would you recommend the bag?

I was just looking at used bags on MPB, for £21 I can get a Manfrotto Veloce V Backpack (https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/product/manfrotto-veloce-v-backpack/sku-3413194), looking at it I think it looks OK for my needs. Do you think this looks good?
 
I have a couple of Manfrotto backpacks. Both are well made with comfortable straps. Apart from fitting your gear though (and I cant comment on that), I am sure you are aware that you need to make sure that the bag is suitable for your torso/ width in particular.

I am going to double check that it will fit all my gear in, I think it should by the looks of it.

I hadn't actually thought of checking it would fit me properly, I was so busy looking at what it could fit I completely forgot about that, I will take a look.
 
I have just been doing some research into what I would be able to fit into the Manfrotto Veloce V Backpack, I think it could work but it wouldn't leave much room for expansion, I think the Lowepro Pro Runner 200 AW Backpack would better suite my needs, I am going to put an alert on it at MPB since I want a like new or excellent not good, hopefully one comes in soon.
