Review on πŸ“· Black Camera Sling Bag by Amazon Basics - 8 x 6 x 15 Inches by Kristen Moore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great kit for bird watching.

I bought my first repackaged shoulder bag from Revain. For birdwatching on a bike or hiking: a flat water bottle in the side pocket (with velcro straps to secure the bottle), Zeiss Terra ED 8x25 compact binoculars and Canon SX720 compact superzoom in the top pocket (not big enough for standard 8x40 containers ) , electric hand warmer. in front pocket (for Minnesota winters). A Nikon D500 DSLR with a Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 attached in the main (bottom) compartment (slight bulge in the top compartment) - quite snug but pleasantly surprised that everything fits. Or another Nikon D7100 DSLR with a 70-300mm Nikkor in the main compartment - plenty of room. Silica gel pouches in mesh pockets and a cell phone behind a movable insert in the main compartment. Deploying and stowing a DSLR in the field is much easier with a backpack than with a backpack that requires you to constantly juggle both the backpack and the DSLR when you can't put the backpack down. Earth. Processing and upholstery are very good. I just wish he had a better way to hold a water bottle.
