K11 Camera Shoulder Bag

I am getting into photography and getting all of the accessories I need so I can just get out there and shoot. This camera bag seems to emulate another brand, Tenba which is a very well-known camera accessory company. There are, of course, variations between Tenba and Caden but that is to be expected in order for the company to not infringe on design aspects. Okay, the size of the bag seems to be spot on, I did not show the actual dimensions but I bought the K11 size. The sizing states that you can fit up to a 15" laptop but, I don't feel that it can with your camera gear in place, it would be very tight. I have a 13.3" Acer Spin and you can see from the photo, it fits just fine. When I placed my camera gear in it, Canon 60D, 18-55 lens and hood, 18-200 lens and hood, 50 mm fixed focus lens with a uv lens attachment and hood, battery charger and charging cords, SD case (that came with my purchase, see one of the pictures), it all just fits with a little wiggle room. I did not use any of the exterior/interior pockets, really. There are tripod straps on the bottom of the bag which, with my tripod in its own carrying case, does add weight but it's still a great feature. Top zipper access, is great. Everything except the SD holder, is within the removeable camera case. If I were to cart around all of this and, my laptop, I find the bag to be too heavy. Will the shoulder strap hold up over time? I am not sure but it does come with a warranty. The cover is great as it can be secured with the shoulder strap so that you do not have to worry about it popping off. If you were to compare it to the Tenba, I would say that it fits everything more like their DNA 13 although their sizing dimensions seem to run smaller than this product in the K11 size. Contrary what other reviews may have shared, this Bag is not heavy when empty, at all and relatively light when not overpacked. Pros: -Great value for the what you are paying -Camera section is removable and VERY cushioned -Under carry for your Tripod or Monopod -Weather repellant material -Adjustable shoulder strap to use as a crossbody messenger bag -Multi-purpose bag when not being used for camera equipment -Top zipper for quick access -Multi pockets for smaller items -Additional strap to attached when you may be riding a bike -Came with an SD card plastic holder Cons: -Unsure of long-term zipper quality -the K11 may not fit anything larger than a 13.3" laptop when all camera gear is in without adding weight and room -Velcro closure will not last over time (this is the same with the Tenba brand) but, there is also clip closure for security -The shoulder strap needs better padding -To put additional accessories; cell phone, keys etc. with your gear and laptop will not only add weight but it is too bulky (this would hold true with the Tenba bags). To close, I already purchased and have a Besnfoto knapsack which is wonderful and also a fraction of the cost of another similar brand. I wanted something more mainstream unless I am going away for a few days. I am VERY happy with both brands, Caden and Besnfoto. You will not be disappointed, at all. Just take care not to over pack. Lastly, I purchased this bag through Amazon Warehouse and even though it was described as Used/Very Good, it came with everything that the "new" bag has!!! Another spectacular bag!!! Thanks Caden!!!

Excellent quality and function, lots of storage compartments. I can fit 3 lenses (one attached to the Sony A1 body and one in each compartment). The top cover unzips for easy access to the interior without opening the top "flap." The included divider is removable if you just need a big space or can be readjusted to fit separate items...

I bought this bag as a computer / gym / diaper / everything bag and have been using it for 6 months. I removed all the camera inserts. Pros: - sturdy - doesn't show dirt - good pockets/organization: small phone pocket in front and also a zip pocket (keys, maybe small wallet), medium zip compartment at the top of the inside, pen and small notebook pockets; back flat pocket for any documents (used it for passports and dog vet certificate during travel) or kid's artwork; mesh side pockets stretch well and don't stretch out of shape when empty - laptop sleeve is a perfect fit for 13" laptop - not too heavy - adjustable strap (caveat below) - great top access with a zipper, I love this feature on a flap bag - large enough for all of this: dell laptop, light scarf, small toiletries, change of (summer) clothes (not shoes), toddler water bottle and small blanket - luggage strap!! So many kudos for this. - I can see someone using the tripod straps as a yoga mat carrier. Cons: - unless the bag is quite full or has all the inserts, the flap is too long and overhangs the front by enough that it's not comfortable to operate and the velcro barely catches - the bag arrived with the flap warped, like the hard material inside the flap was larger than the fabric outside. It was really ugly. I used my industrial steamer to essentially iron it out to the point that it was acceptable. Otherwise I'd return it. - without the insert, the bag is floppy. I cut up a flexible cutting board and put it into back pocket to keep structure, which worked fine. - the sides of the bag at the opening which are supposed to keep rain out and items in are constantly hanging out and look awful and get in the way. If they put drawstrings through these so you can tighten them if it's not raining, that would help a lot. - I hate the velcro on the inside. It snags any scarves I put in the bag or my sweater when I reach in. It opens easily so you can't just keep it closed. I'll probably cut it off. - I like that the strap is adjustable, but I'd like to be able to adjust it shorter for the times the bag is really heavy or I'm biking. - I'm 5'2" 115 lbs and the bag is a little big for me. If it wasn't so floppy with the top sides, it would work better. - Not so much a con, but a fact of life: if you're going to stuff this bag, it's going to be really heavy. Maybe for the next iteration of this they can sew backpack straps into the back pocket, then this will be a dream bag!! Overall this was a very good bag to understand better what I want out of a bag. It's very sturdy and looks the same today as the day I got it (well better after ironing). All the hardware is quality and easy to operate and adjust. The strap never slips, the zippers never stick, the clasps are perfectly intact.

Yes, it is brand new and I haven't broken it in yet, but the build quality on this CADeN Shoulder/Messenger bag is excellent. It is roomy and is easily holding my Nikon z50 and two kit lenses, plus a Nikon 70-300 FX with FTZ adapter attached and a fourth small lens (50mm f/1.4) in a case. (I probably will rarely fill it that full. When I am out shooting I like to have some space in the bag to make it easier to switch out lenses and accessories.) I like the center top zipper which allows access to the camera and lenses without opening the flap. The interior is over 9 inches tall, so it will hold some big zooms! There is also plenty of room for accessories. Interior pockets are somewhat useless when the lens protective insert is in place as you have to slip your hand into a very narrow slot, but there four roomy pockets on the outside of the bag (under the flap) that I will be using. I have two multi pocket filter cases in two large pockets to hold filters, spare batteries, memory cards, and cleaning cloths. The straps on the bottom easily and securely hold my tripod. (A REALLY nice touch is the velcro permanently attached to the bottom straps allowing the straps to be wrapped and not dangle.) Zippers seem sturdy. I do wish that the zipper tabs had eyelets in them so I could add some bright colored pulls. I may try to drill a hole in one on the back to see if that would work. The shoulder strap is adjustable and should fit folks small and big (like me). I wish there was a bit more padding on the cushion. There's room for a small laptop (a feature I rarely use) and two places for water bottles or coffee mugs (which I DO use!). The luggage caddy strap will be useful when travelling with a roller bag. And the price is right at under $40 US!

I picked this up to replace my old bag, which had finally started to shred out after almost 5 years of fairly constant use. I'm a motorsports and aviation photographer so my bag spends a lot of it's time outdoors and in some pretty nasty weather some days. This bag is pretty room, but it's not quite roomy enough. A full size probody with battery grip is a bit to wide to fit in the padded insert unless you pull the lens off. For some people that's not a huge deal, I keep the lenses on the body, so if I have to grab for my stowed camera it's one less thing to mess with before I can start shooting. I mainly use my camera bag to haul lenses, and here the padded insert is a great size. Even a large lens (Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM) which is 7.5" when closed fits just fine if stood vertical. Anything longer than about 9" is going to start to create problems though I'd guess. The bag itself is well made, and seems to be pretty sturdy from the little bit of use I've put it to this winter. From the casual carrying it around it has held up well, with no visible damage or wear. My only nit pick, is that the rain cover has some areas that are unraveling around the strap holes. This is due to the fact it's appears to be made out a single layer of nylon. I put some glue on it to see if that will stop it, time will tell. Overall for the price it appears to be a well made and durable bag. After a full season I'll update this to tell how it held up.

UPDATE: Caden responded quickly to my review/return, apologized and sent me a new bag for free. The new bag appears to be as well-made as the previous bag. Crossing my fingers that it won’t suffer the failure that the prior bag’s hardware did. Hope to take it out for a short expedition today and test out the turnbuckles. They certainly look sturdier. READ FULL REVIEW FOR THE KICKER Pros: Built of great materials and overall good design. Roomy, lots of pockets, thoughtfully put together Cons: big Velcro patches keep flap closed but make I’d hard to get into, especially if you’re someplace quiet and don’t want to make a lot of noise. BIG FAIL: after a few days of moderate use, one of the shoulder strap turnbuckles started to stick and not swivel. Today, the turnbuckle failed completely when the hook/clip separated from the bracket holding it onto the shoulder strap. The bag fell to the street with my camera and a spare lens inside. If I’d been crossing water on a footbridge or stepping from the land onto a boat, I might’ve lost it all. Will be sending it back

I have a love/hate relationship with this bag. The build quality is pretty good, although there is no padding to speak of in the bag itself (the camera insert is well padded though). There is thin padding in the laptop/tablet compartment. Love: I really like the look of this bag.... when it’s not loaded. It has quite a few pockets. The mesh pockets on the sides really stretch. You can fit a 40 ounce bottle in them! Hate: Once loaded the bag looks a bit sloppy, like an ill fitting suit that looks great on the hanger but not on the person. Yes, it has pockets, but it’s difficult to use all of them and some are the very reason it looks sloppy when loaded. The two outer pockets on the front are quite flat, so I just put in few connectivity items for my iPad (but no charging bricks). The outer pockets under the flap are also not conducive to bulky items, but you can fit a few flatter items like small notebooks and pens. The only pockets (other than the stretchy mesh pockets on the end) that can handle bulkier items are two pockets situated between the inner front of the bag and the camera insert. Putting anything bulky into these pushes the whole front of the bag outward since there’s no structure to the outer wall of the bag. You may as well be stuffing things between the sides and the camera insert except that the pockets do keep stuff from sliding under the insert. The items I have in those pockets are the included rain cover, and a small, collapsible white balancing target with a mini reflector on the back. That’s all I can put in them. The mesh pockets can handle bulky items, but I don’t want to put any valuable things in them because the more they stretch the more visible the contents are.

Very happy with this purchase. The bag looks great and is a perfect fit for my needs. I wanted a bag which was deep enough to fit a decent length telephoto lens and was wide enough to fit at least two if not 3 lenses for trips. I also wanted a bag that was designed to make lens swapping as smooth as possible. It was surprisingly hard to find a bag which met these requirements on Amazon. Luckily, this bag is perfect. The quick access zipper on top is ideal for quick lens changes. The removable insert is very thick and high quality, offering great protection on the bottom and sides. The zippers, strap, and the rest of the components seem to be very high quality. All in all, the perfect bag for my needs.

Después de buscar mucho entre las marcas de bolsas para cámara de prestigio me decidí por esta bolsa bandolera que cumple con mis requisitos pretendidos, a pesar de ser mucho más barata que otras opciones que había valorado. Mi uso pretendido no es el de llevarla en salidas para hacer fotos, porque para esas situaciones tengo otras opciones, sino más bien como bolsa de transporte para el equipo versátil con gran capacidad y muchas posibilidad para ordenar y acceder fácilmente a cámaras, objetivos y accesorios, aunque puntualmente puede usarse para salidas, ya que incluso incorpora un bolsillo superior para acceso al equipo. Permite llevar hasta un portátil, de 15" (siempre que sea un equipo actual de marcos reducidos, porque entra más bien justo) e incluso lleva cinchas para sujetar un trípode, que en ambos casos es algo imprescindible para mi Por lo demás no se le puede pedir más. Los espacios para el material configurables y muy protegidos, innumerables bolsillos y cremalleras, tanto interiores como exteriores, los materiales de calidad y aparentemente resistentes, el tejido exterior resistente al agua a lo que se añade la funda impermeable que incorpora, la cincha para el hombro resistente y cómoda, el detalle del la cajita para tarjetas y una gamuza..... y encima, al menos en mi opinión, es estéticamente muy agradable y comparable a los diseños de marcas que triplican el precio. Muy recomendable

So I'm pleasantly surprised by this bag, it sounded too good to be true! Personally it has everything I was looking for: - fits as second luggage/under seat -looks presentable, much more like a laptop bag and doesn't scream "camera bag - rob me" - has luggage straps and side pockets for water -14inch laptop sleeve that fits my xps15 -and of course big camera compartment and plenty of pockets of batteries and accessories. It's also comfortable to carry :) Side note to the amazon warehouse that completed my order, clearly you were rushing cause I got a surprise present in my bag, a wierd pair of very sharp scissors! Thanks!

Je m'en sers comme sac de cours. Léger et solide. Un vrai compagnon.

届いて直ぐに必要になりそうな物を詰め込んでみたよ 凄い収納力、そんなに大きいレンズは無いけどTamron 70-300mmをZ5に付けて立てた状態で収納できる その他にレンズ2本入れることもできる 14インチタブレットやPCは、すっぽり入る Galaxy s8 ultraも入る 両サイドに600mlペットボトル飲料も問題なし、上のチャックからもストレス無くカメラなら取り出せる 高いので迷ってるなら試しに買え

Bella borsa, robusta e versatile grazie all'imbottitura interna rimovibile. La tracolla è comoda e ben costruita. Unico piccolo neo: la copertura impermeabile inclusa non è molto robusta, la mia nel tentativo di infilarla, si è scucita lungo l'elastico per circa 5cm.
