I have had this pack for several months and have used it on many occasions.
I have really grown to like the chest and waist straps. My regular photo pack has them and I never got around to using them until I got the 5547. The upper compartment is way to small for a jacket so I carry some string to tie a jacket to the pack after I drape it over the top. The top compartment is very handy for camera accessories and some food items like sandwiches, fruit bars, cookies, etc. The bottom compartment works fine for transporting a camera and lenses. In my case the compartment has room for a Nikon D300 with 18-105mm lens attached (facing down), a 10-17mm fisheye lens, and a 60mm macro. Once I get to the venue I hang the camera around my neck and move the spare lenses to the upper compartment. Some items in the upper get relocated to the lower. The reason I do this is to make the camera lenses more accessible. Getting at items in the lower section involves taking the pack off your back. My wife can easily retrieve something out of the upper compartment for me without undoing the straps and removing the pack. Overall this has been a really good “day pack” for those times when we are out for the afternoon and are not taking our full complement of photo gear.
Finally, I have looked at other packs where the bottom compartment is accessible via the side or front. Some are “sling packs”, are to small, to big, and do not have chest and waist belts. None of these packs are perfect but the 5547 had the best combination of features for my intended use.
Tamrac 5547 Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Gray/Black) Overview
This modern backpack was designed for the SLR photographer with a large digital or film SLR with a grip and lens attached, several lenses, a flash and accessories. The new Adventure 7 features a youthful, modern and sleek design that, for security, does not look like a camera bag. In this uniquely designed backpack, the lower section is a completely foam-padded camera bag compartment, while the upper section functions like a traditional backpack to hold a light jacket, lunch or other personal items needed on your next photo adventure. The front pocket features Tamrac’s patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available. The foam-padded camera compartment has a weather flap and quick-release buckle for security and weather protection. Two mesh pockets on the sides provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. Two lash tabs on the bottom of the backpack can accommodate a compact tripod (requires accessory straps). Also features Tamrac’s Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing with optional S.A.S. products.
