I need a camera bag.

Eviscerator95 · Jun 26, 2016

Hi, I need a fairly big camera bag that preferably is black and red (doesn't have too), not too expensive, and can hold a Nikon D5300 with a 18-300mm lens + accessories and other lenses, a Sony FDR-AX100 + accessories, as well as maybe some other stuff like a power bank, chargers, batteries, phone, wallet, etc. I basically need a backpack, but I can not find what I want, especially at an affordable price.

I liked the layout of this bag as well as the extra pockets and it was around $30 which is nice, but I didn't know if the bag was big enough, and it no longer being sold apparently:

I like the way this looks, but i don't know how good the quality is, the price is higher than what I would like to pay, and I don't know if it is big enough:

Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to have the price under $50 but if I have to I would like to cap it around $100.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would also like to have a spot for a tripod or 2.

I don't think you need to worry too much about size. I've been able to get the longer Nikon 70-300 vr lens in just about every bag I've tried. (your lens is 4.7" while the 70-300 is 5.6")

The cam-corder is not too bulky, and the AX100 is about the size of a long lens. Without the lens cap it is less than 8 inches, I can fit a lens that is over 10 inches in one of my bags which is not a GIANT thing. My main bag (I own 4) is a Thinktank retrospective 10(I think) which actually can hold a full-frame Nikon DSLR with a 70-200 attached (large lens) and another large lens and my rx10 (which is about the size of a small DSLR). It is a messenger style and I got it in canvas (green). They make slightly larger bags in the same style.

I have two Lowe Pro sling bags (Slingshot is the model) for light hiking as they allow me to quickly bring the bag to the front and pull out my camera. I have a '100 or 102' which is good for up to 5" lenses and the next size up for slightly larger ones (202?). I almost never use the smaller one and should probably sell it.
I have a Lowe Pro "snout" bag (Top Loader Zoom 70) for day trips and city walks where it can easily hold your camera for walks when you don't bring the cam-corder.
I have a larger Kata backback for longer hikes, but mostly use it for storage as the slings are more convenient.
To tote my tripod(s) I bring the tripod in the long padded case it came in and put a mono-pod in there for the other camera. I use the tripod for video and the monopod for long telephoto shooting.

To compare a bunch of nice bags, look at this:

This one should work for you:

It is reasonably priced but not red and black. Comes in blue or orange. The 10L is smaller and should also work.

I linked to Lowe Pro not Kata or Think Tank since my experience is that Lowe Pro tends to be the more likely to hit your budget of the quality brands. Although having used fancier bags I rarely look at Lowe Pro myself any more.

Thanks for the reply, https

/smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N8LPJZO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3E5K6GEFSI075 do you think this bag would be good enough for the cameras if i were to only use the compartment used for the camera stuff in the pics?

EDIT: also the reason why I want to know if big enough is because the camera bag that came with my Nikon D5300 is filled too the rim, every pocket.

Not sure about that one. It looks awkward to remove the camera with the lens attached and I don't know the camera in the photo nor have I ever heard of that brand.

I think Underwater Waterproof Housing Bag Case of cannon camera is the best. Try it at any online sites.
