One of the things I’ve really struggled with, as an amateur photographer, is to find a reliable camera bag for my gear. So far, I’ve tried four different bags, slings and backpacks, and they’ve all failed.

I finally found a camera bag I like! I purchased the Zecti Backpack in June 2018, and it has been holding up really well. In fact, this camera bag exceeded my expectations and held up to a lot of abuse during a recent 8-day trip to China.

7 Reasons Why I Like my Zecti Backpack

• This is a compact camera backpack, and the size is ideal for the items I need to pack: a DSLR camera with lens attached, three additional lenses, two extra camera batteries, USB cables, cleaning supplies, and two external charging batteries
• In addition to ample space for this camera gear, there is a compartment in which I can slide my 15-inch Dell laptop.
• The upper compartment provides additional room for personal items for a day trip or snacks.
• For added security and ease of access, the camera gear fits into the bottom compartment and is accessed from the back of the backpack.
• The back of the backpack and shoulder straps are well padded. In addition, the waist and chest straps provide much needed support for the camera bag when fully loaded.
• During my trip to China it rained quite a bit, and the canvas material and rain cover stood up to the test.
• There is no shortage of pockets. They are well distributed and accessible from inside and outside the bag.

Bottom Line

I bought this camera bag from Amazon. After more than six months, I am still in love with my Zecti camera backpack. My only suggestions to make this an even more valuable camera bag are:

• Lighten the weight a bit. For the size, it is slightly heavy.
• Enlarge one of the side pockets. You can only accommodate a skinny water bottle.
• Provide more color options. While I like the standard tan/green, it would be great to offer more color options such as navy or black.
