Tamrac 5500 Adventure 10 Camera Backback Laptop 17"

I purchased this backpack five weeks ago, but it isn’t size I need. It’s only been used once, sitting in the overhead compartment of an airplane. The condition is just the same as when I bought it. Everything is included that came with it. It’s a great bag for the traveling photographer.

The Adventure 10 is a modern backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a pro digital or film SLR (such as Canon’s EOS 1D Series or Nikon’s D2 Series) with a grip and 8" lens attached, numerous additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a 17" screen laptop. The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photo equipment, while the extra-large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other necessary items. A separate, completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as Apple’s 17" PowerBook G4, 17" MacBook Pro or other laptops up to 15½" x 11″ × 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. A Windowpane-Mesh™ pocket organizes filters, cables and other accessories.
Two mesh side pockets provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders and features a padded waist belt to help distribute the weight of the pack. The harness also features Tamrac’s Strap Accessory System™ attachment points for customizing this pack with optional Tamrac S.A.S.™ products. The Adventure 10 can also be customized with Tamrac’s Modular Accessory System™ components. Two lash tabs on the bottom allow a tripod to be carried (requires accessory straps, Model S-113, sold separately).
