Hama 'Track Pack' Camera rucksack Well ive been wanting a new rucksack for the 300d since i got it, Vince(mypix) kindly sent me a larger bag to tide me over, but i found it too heavy for lugging around so decided that that could remain my kit bag, a new travel bag was required!
7dayshop are selling this bag for £17.99, £21 with postage...it would have been rude for me to turn it down!
Construction
The bag itself is 330x180x360mm externally and 300x150x330 internally, made of the highest quality Polytex...whatever that is, inside the padded exterior we have compartments and dividers velcrod into place to allow variable size pockets for the bits and pieces, and 1 strap to hold your camera in place(even though it shows 2 on the piccy on the card)
Also the bag has a large zipped puch inside and outside the front flap, for keeping whatever you keep in them in i suppose.
Use
First thing to do then is load the bag up, i have the following kit
300D
battery Grip
4 batteries
70 - 300 sigma APO super macro
18 - 55 kit lens
Tiffen Filters pouch
lost of odds and sods
All this fitted comfortably into the bag, the big lens fits better attatched to the camera, but you can put a dividing padded thing between the lens and the camera if you wanted to get the kit lens on the camera instead, it will just fit
Practical Use
First days practical use was brands hatch, wife and kids in tow, but as i had the backpack, i had both hands free, and didnt have the bag slipping off my shoulder and dooshing the kids in the head, so 1 point to the bag straight away, it also stopped the annoying people trying to go past me at the ticket office, as i was taking up the whole gangway with my bag on my back. 2 points!Weight was never a problem, i had my hands free to hold the kids, the lunchbox, the camera and even eat food whilst we walked about, getting the camera back in the bag required me to actually take it off and stop, but that wasnt a huge issues, and when we stopped to shoot stuff it was fine to take it off to get the camera out.
Conculsions
All in all, for £20 this is a bargain, if your going to be carrying about loads of gear it will only hold so much, but if your a hobbyist like me then this bag is ideal. Dont spend hundreds if you dont need to, this is ideal, and with a 3 year guarantee, it will last too.
