Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack Review

Cameras have been around for the better part of the past two centuries. During this time, they’ve become less flashy (literally) and more portable. They’ve been perfected to a point in which manufacturers managed to produce semi-modular digital products. This translates into a big variety of products, both cameras and accessories, for consumers to enjoy.

While the average consumer will most likely be pleased by their average, run-of-the-mill smartphone camera, professionals and passionate photography amateurs take delight in having the proper lenses, mounts, stands, and tripods to get the job done as best as possible.

Add a laptop on top of the already sizable collection, and one might find it hard to seek for a proper item for storing all of these accessories.

This is where camera backpacks come in. Designed with pockets for cables, chargers and batteries; divided compartments for optimal, customizable storage; and thick padding for proper protection, camera backpacks are the ideal mobile storage choice for photography enthusiasts.

The Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack is the ideal choice to protect such an important investment.

Summary

The Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack has plenty of features that make it a great backpack choice for both amateur and professional photographers.

With it being made using nylon, it is very easy to clean as stains won’t soak into the fabric. The backpack will also keep its original shape after being extensively used, something that’s essential when carrying sensitive equipment.

The two padded shoulder straps come equipped with two steel D-rings allowing the user to pick up additional accessories without wasting the backpack’s limited capacity. On the same note, the backpack is designed with three individual compartments, which let the user make the most out of the space.

The first compartment is the slimmest and smallest making it an ideal choice for a small tablet, a notebook, and other small belongings. The second compartment is the biggest and deepest with padded dividers that keep lenses locked in place and protected from impacts.

The third pocket is specifically designed to fit a 15.6 laptop or notebook, allowing the user to make small edits on the road, as well as download and view the content on a proper display.

The backpack also features various smaller pockets that are mainly used for storing miscellaneous objects like batteries, chargers, mounts, and cables.

It’s important to have these on a camera backpack since most of them have sharp metal edges that can damage a camera’s lens in case they collide. The backpack has external pockets too, which can be used for having easy access to frequently used items.

Two DSLR cameras can be stored simultaneously in the center divider, along with four different lenses. Such numbers vary depending on the needs of the particular user, but the bottom line is that it’s roomy.

Furthermore, it’s compatible with Nikon D800, D3000, D5000 and D7000 series, as well as plenty of models from Canon, Panasonic, Fujifilm and more.

One of the more serious drawbacks of the Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack is the somewhat weak velcro strap. The strap is attached to a thin layer of fabric, which can be considered to be a design flaw. The strap might tear after being put under heavier loads, like bigger tripods.

However, such can be avoided by users by simply using lighter tripods, although having a stronger strap would’ve been the better choice on the manufacturer’s part.

Bottom line is that, apart from the weaker side strap, there’s no real drawback to the Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack. It’s a roomy camera bag that can fit up to five different lenses, a laptop, a full-sized DSLR camera and other accessories that can be used on the go.

The backpack’s interior is customizable, and its features, like the included rain cover and customizable interior, make it a great pick.

Comparison

There are still other plenty of market alternatives to the Evecase Large DSLR Camera and Laptop backpack, some that are of the same price like the G-raphy DSLR Camera Backpack. It is designed using similar materials, but the execution is somewhat questionable.

For instance, the shoulder straps are known to fail after a couple of months of casual use. Without overburdening the backpack, the straps are likely to start tearing from the top, where they’re sewn together to the back mesh.

Furthermore, it lacks a lot of the storage space provided by the Evecase backpack without offering much in return. The only real advantage it has over it is better side straps for carrying tripods, which isn’t enough to deem it the superior of the two.

Verdict

Whether it’s used by the busy professional or the passionate amateur, the Evecase Large DSLR Camera is a perfect choice for outdoor photo shoots, traveling, and editing on the spot.

In addition to the standard laptop and accessory pockets, it features a third compartment which is perfect for personal belongings, sometimes eliminating the need for an additional travel bag. It’s lightweight, durable and long-lasting if handled with proper care.

All in all, this product has been designed keeping in mind the needs of a professional photographer. The result being a highly-functional and very useful camera backpack.
