About this bag

The Adventure 9 is a modern backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a pro digital or film SLR (such as Canon's EOS 1D Series or Nikon's D2 Series) with a grip and 5" lens attached, several additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a laptop. The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photo equipment, while the large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other necessary items. Inside the top, a Pop-Off Pocket™ keeps AC adaptors and laptop cords organized. A separate, completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as Apple's 17" PowerBook G4, 17" MacBook Pro or other laptops up to 15½" x 11" x 2" in size) without disturbing photo gear. Double zipper pulls provide quick access to photo gear while a weather flap and quick-release buckle provide security and weather protection. Inside the main compartment, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable, foam-padded dividers protect other equipment. Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System™ uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A Windowpane-Mesh™ pocket organizes filters, cables and other accessories. Two mesh side pockets provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders. The harness also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System™ attachment points for customizing this pack with optional Tamrac S.A.S.™ products. Two lash tabs on the bottom allow a tripod to be carried (requires accessory straps).

After checking out the reviews on here and looking at it in the shop I decided this would be the perfect bag to take on an upcoming trip OS. I needed something to take the camera equipment and a laptop and associated goodies. I was very happy to see that the 70-200 VR would fit down one side of the bag allowing a lens to be left mounted to the D200. The bag is well made and sits on your shoulders well. The addition of the waist and chest straps are great as it does tend to weigh a little bit with all of the gear in there. The zippers are easy to use and the extra snap buckles on the front to secure the camera section are good. Overall I am happy with the bag, but will update this after my trip OS next Feb.

What works

Everything I need for the trip fits and I still have a little room for some snacks. The straps are wide and well padded. The addition of the chest and waist straps are welcomed as they help to stabilise and distribute the weight more evenly.

Room for improvement

The waist strap is not as robust as the one on my Lowepro Slingshot 300AW. I would like the pop off bag in the top section to be a little larger to accommodate more cables and cords.
