Photography backpack/bag as a Xmas present?
Discussion
My two lads have asked me to populate my amazon wish list ready for Santa Claus coming, budget around £100 give or take a few quid.
I’m thinking about including a new camera backpack. I currently use the amazon basics bag which manages to hold most ( but not all) my gear, but has no way of carrying my tripod so I have to carry it in my hands.
I have a DSLR, three lens, flashguns, a mat to sit on, small accesories, but hope to go to FX next year with a 24-70 and 70-200 lens.
Are there any backpacks that would carry fx kit, plus a tripod holder, in that budget?
The tripod is a manfrotto 055 aluminium so it’s not a lightweight.
I can’t think of any other photography related gear in that price band.
Thanks in advance.

That was going to be my suggestion too. Can't believe how much they've gone up in last few years though. Pretty sure I bought mine for half that. It's a good bag though and plenty of space. You can get a body in with 70-200 mounted with the hood out which is a huge benefit when you're moving around. If that one's a bit steep, take a look at the Tamrac range too. They're usually a little cheaper than lowepro but my experience with them has been excellent.
I use a Manfrotto backpack - very sturdy and easy just to unzip the flap and pull a body & lens out
Normally about £150, but already a bargain on Amazon
