Review on 🎒 Thule Covert DSLR Backpack 24L: Black, Reliable & Versatile One-Size Backpack by Tim Harrington

Thule laptop bags and cases have fascinated me for several years. They always look like they were made with quality and functionality in mind. As a photographer, I was interested in this camera bag because it was called Thule. I made a few comments during the test. Not a normal camera bag. The bag is designed as a 3-in-1 package. It has a removable camera insert, but also offers space for personal items as well as a laptop and tablet. In most camera bags I've tried, the main compartment is 100% dedicated to the camera and accessories. While I appreciate the versatility of the bag, it would have been nice to have a little more room specifically for the camera. The weight. The bag is noticeably heavier when empty. According to the statement, the bag weighs 4.14 kilos without content. It doesn't seem that far off from other camera bags of this size, but it "feels" heavy. This is a minor issue as it is designed for gear storage. The backpack should be as light as possible when empty. Price. While the price of $250 may seem high, it is in line with other camera backpacks of this size. I think it's a worthwhile expense for the quality you get. Padding and back support. When shopping for camera backpacks, I try to look for ones that have well-padded shoulder straps and strong back support. This backpack has very flat cushions in the shoulder straps and the back has a padded but durable panel. There's a hip belt (hidden, tucked into the back panel) but it's also a bit flimsy. In this respect, I can hardly imagine taking it with me on a long hike. With these considerations in mind, I have to say that I really like the backpack. It seems very solid and when you remove the camera module it has a very interesting structure to pack. I would very much like to use it as carry-on luggage on the plane as the camera capsule can be removed and used as a 'personal item' which airlines usually allow in addition to carry-on luggage. I also like that it really is for the essentials and nothing more. You have space to fit the camera body with attached lens and possibly another lens or flash into the camera unit. The rest of the bag can be used for other essentials like extra socks, a long sleeve shirt or jacket, or maybe some food. I could see this being a useful backpack for hiking, but the shoulder straps just don't have enough padding for heavy hiking or even a ton of weight in the backpack.
