Review on Thule Aspect DSLR Backpack Black by Dawn Atchison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Plenty of room for cameras and extras

I've been using it as a daily backpack for about two years. For photography I just add cameras and use it as a "city tour" backpack, which is handy for me because that way I don't forget to move the things I use from one backpack to another (cables for charging iPad and headphones for example). What can I pack (see photo): This backpack will comfortably fit a Sony A7 (all variants or A9) + 25mm lens, Mamiya 7 + 50mm lens and a mini tripod. (Mini tripod Manfrotto MTPIXI-B PIXI). It's all at the bottom of the backpack, plus filters, a pocket raincoat (which is used as extra padding for the A7), a pocket tripod and extra batteries. That leaves the top half for all the usual stuff I usually carry in my backpack. In summary, since the Mamiya 7 is quite large, it can easily accommodate a mirrorless camera (large) and a DSLR. I can put my backpack aside and grab the A7 without leaving the backpack on the floor, the Mamiya 7 takes longer to unpack which is ok because it still takes longer to shoot with. I was able to fit an iPad Pro 12" and a MacBook Pro 13" in the laptop compartment, obviously not an ideal situation, but it's doable. Most importantly, the backpack fits under the seat of the A321 and 737 (both American).

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • I will add later
