Tarion TB-02 camera and laptop rucksack – 15-inch, black
If you want to carry camera kit and a laptop without faffing about, this rucksack is worth a look. It’s a practical, compact pack that keeps kit safe and neatly organised on day trips, city shoots or when you’re travelling light. It’s also light enough to play nicely with most cabin baggage allowances while still protecting pricey kit.
What fits and how it helps
The main compartment is built for camera gear: the bag comes with eight padded, removable dividers so you can set the interior up for a camera body, up to six lenses and a flash or trigger. There’s a dedicated 15-inch laptop/tablet pocket to keep work separate from your photography kit — no more rummaging through camera bits to find your laptop at the airport.
Comfort, protection and quick access
Weighing just 850 g and measuring 30 x 15 x 43 cm, it’s surprisingly light given the amount of padding. The shoulder straps are ventilated and well padded, while the back panel uses air mesh to help keep you comfortable when the pack’s heavier. A tripod can be secured to the base, and the stretchy mesh side pockets are handy for a water bottle or a brolly.
Weather and usability
It includes a waterproof rain cover to keep gear dry in a downpour — a proper bonus on a rainy commute or an unexpected shower on location. Inside there’s a zippered mesh pocket for memory cards, batteries, cables and small accessories so the little things don’t disappear. The layout makes swapping lenses or grabbing a card quick and straightforward, with minimal faff.
Small details that matter
- Organisation: eight padded dividers let you tailor the interior layout for different kit combinations.
- Protection: padded laptop sleeve keeps a 15-inch laptop safe from knocks while keeping it separate from camera gear.
- Accessibility: external pockets and the mesh internal pocket make it easy to store and find chargers, cables and cards.
- Tripod carry: straps and an attachment point let you secure a compact tripod to the base of the pack.
- Comfort: ventilated shoulder straps and an air mesh back panel help keep you cool when walking between locations.
Note: some listings reference “M+ 128GB”, which may indicate a memory card option or bundle. If a memory card is essential to the purchase, check the seller’s product details to confirm whether one is included and its exact specs (for example, offload speeds).
Typical users are photographers who want a reliable everyday carry for kit and a laptop, travellers after a compact, airline-friendly camera bag, and hobbyists who want sensible organisation without lugging a large pro backpack. If you’re unsure whether a particular tripod or item will fit, double-check the dimensions and strap compatibility first — it saves a bit of bother on the day of the shoot.
