Tamrac Anvil 17 Reviews

The Worst Tamrac Product I've Owned

By Bothersome Bob
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2024-01-05

I've owned this pack for two years and I've grown to despise it. I bought many Tamrac products going back to the 80s or 90s and found their products well-designed and rugged. Until this bag, I've always been happy with Tamrac products. This bag is not well-designed. The most annoying problem is; the shoulder straps ALWAYS get twisted when putting the pack on. I've tried adjusting them, bending over to take the pressure off of the straps and other things. The only thing that works is to place the bag on a table or ledge, crouch down and slide into it. Unfortunately, tables and ledges aren't always available. The description said the bag would fit in overhead bins of airplanes. It will fit in large airplanes, but for the commuter planes, like Embraier, that take you to small airports, It doesn't fit at all. I had to remove some items to cram it into a bin on an Airbus A220. Forget about the overhead stowage area on tour busses. The ALICE accessory mounts on each side are so far apart that I had to add extra straps to secure ALICE compatible accessories to the sides. As for build quality, it is excellent. I've had no problems with the zippers or pockets. One thing that would improve the pack is the ability to put lash straps under the bottom. There is a strap sewn onto the bottom, but it is sewn all along its length. I am mystified as to why it is there. It doesn't appear to have any function. I'm carrying a pair of Canon M50s a set of lenses and accessories. I would prefer a bag that is shallower. There is no excuse for the clumsy shoulder straps. Tamrac has made backpacks of all types for decades. Their shoulder straps should be easy to put on. This bag lowered my opinion of Tamrac products.

Lightweight and wonderful space.

the shoulder strap is nicely adjustable and very much comfortable. I love it for long waking with full capacity

question

How well does the Anvil 17 work as a carry-on airline bag? I am concerned both about size for under seat or overhead bin stowage and weight which local Asian airlines severely limit.
Asked by: Dale
I recently purchased the Anvil 27 bag which I believe is bigger than the Anvil 17. I have no problem bringing it as a hand luggage to the plane. It fits in the overhead bin stowage but will be too large for placing under the seat.

question

Will this hold a D7200 with a 150-600 lens?
Asked by: Sue G.
I have used it with a D800 and 80-400 lens with no problem, I even have about 4 inches of room available. So check the length of your 150-600 vs 80-400.Good luck!
