5.0 out of 5 stars K&F Concept Hardshell Camera Backpack
This product was sent to me for review, as part of Bolo Vine. The below is my own real-world experience of using it.In terms of quality, it appears to have been well-made - the fabric is nice and robust, with a neat finish, and the outer shell is sturdy. Having taken the bag out during a recent spell of rain, so far I can say it seems to be waterproof - I haven't noticed any moisture inside the bag.The size is decent, allowing for a camera, plus a number of standard-sized lenses to fit inside, with pouches for accessories such as batteries, and memory cards, too. Once it is full, carrying it does not feel like too much of a strain - everything is balanced, and comfortable.In summary, a good value item.
4.0 out of 5 stars A great bag for photography
Firstly this is a very well made bag. Solid materials and well put together it feels like a quality pack. It is quite compact, not too big and could just about scrape through a Ryanair baggage line up. It is very well padded and provides a lot of protection for both cameras and other tech such as laptops etc.There is a considerable array of dividers to enable the interior to be set up in a way which serves your needs best. The dividers are quite rigid and not that padded, however as long as the camera gear or whatever you have in there is packed tightly they should be well protected.On the outside at the front there is the smooth hard panel which protects the gear inside. From photos this can look a bit "Darth Vader" but in reality its quite modest and finishes the exterior of the pack well, the only real downside being there is no option to have pockets in this area. This is fastened by a twin zip but would need some kind of security fitted such as a small padlock or it would be a magnet for thieves perhaps.Moving around to the sides there are water bottle type pockets on each side with one side having a strap further up the pack to allow a tripod to be tied there securely. It would have been nice to see at least one of these pockets have a zip so you could put spare batteries, small lenses etc.On the back is the only secure pocket on the exterior of the pack. This is in the form of a security pocket that lies just below the luggage pass through strap. The pocket is actually quite big and can hold a phone, wallet, passport etc comfortably.On top there is a very solid handle, it would have been nice to see a side handle as well. On the bottom of the pack it is just normal material, no apparent different waterproofing or rubber feet so not the best to place on the floor especially when the floor is wet.Moving inside the main compartment, it is an ample size to hold a multitude of camera gear or can be divided up between camera gear and other bits and pieces. The interior flap of the hard shell has two large zip pockets which could take a variety of items as long as they are not too thick.The laptop compartment which sits closest to your back is very well padded, good for laptops up to 14" but I think many will struggle with older machines over this size. There's also room to cram some items that need security like phone / wallet etc in this space.That's it really. For cameras, tech etc it is a great bag for protecting your gear. I can see this being used as a day pack for photographers or drone operators who have a specific task to carry out, whether that be weddings, nature etc (there is a rain cover supplied too). However, if you are thinking this is the type of backpack that can be used for travel or some kind of hybrid camera / travel pack I think this might be challenging due to the lack of pockets to place other items. It is first rate for specific tasks but possibly does not serve well as a multi use backpack.Its well made and materials / construction are definitely a 5/5 but I will need to give the whole pack a 4/5 due to its lack of adaptability to other tasks. Perhaps a bit unfair as it is marketed as a camera backpack. I wish I could select 4.5 stars.Recommended as long as you have a clear vision of what you are going to use this for.
Excellent
I don’t think I can convey how happy I am with this bag. I feel like it was designed by photographers for photographers. Every detail of the material and the design is well thought out and well executed.The shell is a combination of breathable material and durable protection. It holds a lot of gear without being bulky or awkward to deal with.The interior is soft and plush, a great size and shape. It is completely customizable. Every piece is separate, including straps. The shaping ability of the inserts is easy and they are awesome quality. The velcro is strong but it doesn’t shred your fingers when you move it or adjust it.There is an expandable pouch on both sides, and a tripod strap on one side.In the main compartment there are two pockets for accessories.There is a secondary compartment that would hold a laptop or iPad.And a third hidden zippered pocket on the back (anti-theft) for wallet and keys. This pocket blends into the back padding.The straps are padded and strong without being bulky, and there is a chest strap for added support. There is also a luggage strap for travel and a rain cover.I’ve always had a hard time justifying the cost of camera bags because I find them to be such a hassle, and designed poorly.At $79.99 - it’s a steal for this bag.The quality is unmatched, the design brilliant, the functionality and ease is amazing.I highly recommend this bag.
Muy espaciosa, discreta y cómoda
Antes de entrar en detalles, mencionar que esta mochila es hardshell, eso quiere decir que la parte exterior es dura. No dura como si fuera de policarbonato, que también las hay, sino mas bien una especie de espuma de mucha rigidez. Este tipo de mochilas, o las odias o las amas. Personalmente a mi me gustan mucho y tengo alguna que no es de fotografía de este formato y me encanta, pero hay opiniones encontradas al respecto. Como digo, me gustan porque me da la sensacion de que todo está mas protegido y además siempre es el mismo tamaño así que es fácil encontrarle acomodo una vez lo tienes controlado, pero, si llevas pocas cosas sigue ocupando lo mismo.El espacio es sin duda uno de sus puntos fuertes de esta mochila. Tiene un diseño rectangular que aprovecha muy bien el espacio y que permite colocar todo lo que tengas e incluso algo mas de regalo. Los divisores internos son muy funcionales y permiten organizar todo de forma eficiente. En cuanto a la comodidad, se ajusta bien a la espalda y es cómoda de llevar aun estando muy cargada porque es bastante equilibrada. El asa de mano es cómoda y práctica, y la correa para el pecho ayuda a distribuir el peso. Además, se incluye una funda impermeable, aunque por suerte no he tenido que usarla todavía. El espacio para el portátil de hasta 16 pulgadas también es interesante, pero no novedoso.Los acolchados y zonas de protección interiores son correctas, sobre todo en los laterales, aunque la parte hard-shell de la mochila me ha dejado un poco así así, porque esperaba que tuviera algo mas de grosor o una pequeña capa adicional de acolchado interior, y no lo tiene. De todos modos para que algo se dañe el golpe debería ser realmente fuerte y posiblemente ningún acolchado lo aguantaría. Las cremalleras son correctas, pero después de haber usado otras mochilas, me da la sensación de que van algo duras.En resumen, es una mochila espaciosa, cómoda y con buenas ideas, pero con algunos detalles que podrían mejorarse como la protección del hardshell y las cremalleras.
Awesome backpack for photographsers!
This is super cool! I really was surprised how good this is. It is comfortable to wear and super versatile. I have bought other products from KF Concepts, but this one, (so far) tops them all. The backpack really can be configured to hold everything you need for a photographic day trip and is great value for money! I only received it today, but playing around with it has shown me that I really can configure the interior to hold whatever I need and I strongly recommend this product!
Es gibt keine perfekten Rucksäcke
Jeder ambitionierte Hobbyfotograf dürfte gefühlt ein halbes Dutzend und mehr Rucksäcke im Keller stehen haben. Und so wie alle anderen Modelle, die ich kenne, ist auch dieser hier gut und macht vieles richtig, ist aber nicht perfekt.Konkret fehlen mir ein Hüftgurt sowie eine vernünftige Möglichkeit zum unterbringen des voluminösen Regenschutzes. Das machen andere .ideelle beispielsweise in Form von am Boden aufgenähten Taschen besser - wobei bei denen dann Getränkehalter (was er hier hat) oder Tragegriffe (dito) fehlen.Ebenfalls vermisse ich eine Möglichkeit zum unterbringen eines Stativs mittels außen angebrachter Schlaufen o.ä.Gut sind hingegen der stabile Deckel, der völlig frei einteilbare Innenraum, die dezente Farbe, stabile Reißverschlüsse und nicht zuletzt das geringe Gewicht.
Not a True Hard Case
Was disappointed that the shell cover was as thin as cardboard. Seems to be easy to dent and not as protective as advertised. Other than that the organization inside is quite nice and easy to use. Was able to fit a K&F tripod along the side as well.
