Tamrac 5549 Adventure 9 Photo/Laptop Backpack (Red/Black) Overviews



The Adventure 9 is a modern backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a pro digital or film SLR with a grip and 5 inch lens attached, several additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a laptop. The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photo equipment, while the large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other necessary items. Inside the top, a Pop-Off Pocket keeps AC adaptors and laptop cords organized. A separate, completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as Apple's PowerBook G4 or others up to 15½" x 11" x 2" in size) without disturbing photo gear. Double zipper pulls provide quick access to photo gear while a weather flap and quick-release buckle provide security and weather protection. Inside the main compartment, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable, foam-padded dividers protect other equipment. Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders.

Tamrac 5549 Adventure 9 Photo/Laptop Backpack (Red/Black) CustomerReview



I give the TAMRAC - 5549 Adventure 9 Photo/Computer Backpack five stars but that doesn't mean it's the best one out there. I do believe it's one of the best for the money. For some reason the red/black one was much cheaper than the gray/black one. I'm not particularly fond of red backpacks but the color isn't important. The computer compartment is very large, especially for my little 11.6 inch netbook; leaves room for some paperwork. Most all photo-pack ads show an SLR in the camera gear compartment. I very rarely carry my camera in my backpack. It's usually attached to a beefy L-lens that's mounted on a tripod. Yes, I hike with a camera mounted tripod. In the rare instances that I've hiked with a camera in this pack I've had no trouble finding room for it. I day hike in wilderness areas several times a week and I've found that the more you use this pack the better you learn to pack it. It will really hold a lot although that's not your first impression. I weigh my loaded pack before each hike. With this pack I normally hike with a total weight of 15 to 18 pounds, often 20 to 21 pounds and every now and then up to 25 pounds. Most people consider that heavy for a day hike but big lenses add up quickly. I carry a water bottle in one side pocket and a large folding umbrella in the other. These side pockets are quite shallow so I tie things in with a strong string. I fold a small bath towel length-wise, loop it through the carrying handle and let it hang down the back of the pack. I'm used to lacing stuff to the back of my pack. Many of my packs have extra eyelets sown onto them - I've added two to this one. I have a small karabiner in each small eyelet, two on each side of the pack. The string is laced diagonally forming an X on the back of the pack - holds water bottle, umbrella and towel. I have a glasses case attached to the chest strap and a small GPS case attached to the left strap up near shoulder level. I have no use for the system that has the little red flags - spare batteries and SD cards but the little pockets are nice. BTW - I also have an Adventure 6 and an Adventure 7 - both great packs. All three of these packs are excellent but not designed for rapid extraction of their contents - I don't mind this since I almost always hike with my camera around my neck or on a tripod. TAMRAC is quality U.S. made stuff and competes well with much higher priced gear.
