NEW Tenba Shootout 24L Backpack - Black
Certainly! Let's delve into the details of the Tenba Shootout Camera Backpack (24L).
Tenba Shootout 24L Backpack: A Comprehensive Overview
Material and Appearance
The Tenba Shootout 24L backpack strikes a balance between urban chic and rugged functionality. Here's what you need to know:
Material: The backpack is crafted from a distinctive, somewhat shiny ripstop nylon. Unlike traditional canvas or leather, this material is lightweight and resistant to tearing. While it might not scream "indestructible," it's surprisingly robust and stands up well to everyday wear and tear.
Appearance: Picture a blend of "urban professional bag" and "backcountry companion." The design is understated, with white reflective piping on the shoulder straps and down the center of the back. These reflective accents enhance safety during nighttime adventures without turning you into a walking traffic sign. Plus, the handle is cleverly attached to the body side of the bag, maintaining a low profile and structural integrity¹.
Functional Features
Now, let's dive into the practical aspects:
Capacity: The Shootout 24L strikes a sweet spot—it's roomy enough to accommodate your gear but compact enough to meet strict international airline carry-on requirements. Here's what it can hold:
- Cameras: You can comfortably fit 1-2 mirrorless or DSLR cameras with 4-6 lenses. If you're rocking a hefty 300mm f/2.8 lens, fear not—it'll fit too!
- Laptop: There's a dedicated compartment for your laptop, accommodating screens up to 15 inches.
- Drone: If you're a drone enthusiast, the 24L has space for your DJI Mavic or other compact drones².
Weight: The backpack itself weighs in at 4 pounds (about 1.8 kg), and if you remove the dividers, it's even lighter at 3.5 pounds (approximately 1.6 kg). So, it won't weigh you down as you chase that perfect shot.
Side Pocket: On the right side (from the wearer's perspective), there's a single pocket that extends down the entire length of the bag. It's perfect for stashing small accessories or perhaps your favorite mini-pod (which doubles as a chest pod for stability).
Carrying a Tripod: While not explicitly mentioned, the Shootout 24L doesn't skimp on tripod-carrying options. You'll find attachment points and straps to secure your trusty three-legged companion.
Summary
In summary, the Tenba Shootout 24L strikes a balance between functionality, style, and practicality. Whether you're navigating city streets or venturing into the wild, this backpack has your camera gear covered. Plus, it won't raise any eyebrows at the airport gate.
