Score: 69/100
Tarion Large Camera Backpack
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Tarion Large Camera Backpack delivers unparalleled capacity and a versatile 2-in-1 design with waterproof protection. Its size, weight and lack of dedicated padding make it less suitable for travel-light scenarios. Ideal for professional shooters needing to transport extensive gear on long trips.
The MOSISO Camera Sling Bag is a lightweight, budget-friendly sling that offers modular inserts, a rain cover, and a side tripod holder for everyday shooting. Its trade-offs include fewer compartments, thinner padding, and only water-repellent protection. Ideal for beginners who need a comfortable, under-2-lb bag for a single camera setup and short trips.

Professional reviewers commend the MOSISO sling for its feather-light weight, even balance, and surprisingly spacious main compartment that rivals larger bags, while also valuing the included rain cover and tripod holder. However, they note the limited pocket variety and a rigid shape that may not suit every travel scenario, reflecting its budget-oriented design.
Everyday users consistently praise the bag's modular inserts, lightweight comfort, and useful accessories like the rain cover and side tripod holder, seeing it as great value for beginners. Recurring complaints focus on strap slippage, limited capacity for larger kits, and the perception of thinner padding and less smooth zippers typical of budget gear.
“Durable with huge flexible compartments via Velcro dividers, thick breathable foam backing, solid for medium laptops/iPads”
“Doesn't feel that heavy when full”
“Whoa, that bag is pretty big”
Professional reviewers commend the Tarion backpack for its unparalleled capacity and rugged, waterproof design, highlighting features like the hard-shell quick-access compartment, extensive pocket system, and comfort-focused straps. However, they caution that its sheer size and weight make it less suitable for airline carry-on limits and can be cumbersome in tight spaces.
Everyday users love the sheer amount of space for lenses, batteries, and even film gear, noting it feels comfortable on long hikes and fits within generous carry-on allowances like Southwest's. Recurring complaints focus on the bag's oversized footprint, difficulty fitting in cars or narrow airplane aisles, and its heaviness for those seeking a minimalist setup.
