Tenba Messenger DNA 13 Review | Messenger Bag Review

[@GlebLapham]

What do you use to carry all your stuff around??

[@Astrokhels]

I got this bag today and it was perfect. Versatile dual purpose, well constructed, smart pocket placements, nice features, conservative that’s not too flashy. Carries my prime portrait 35mm, landscape 11-16mm and 18-300mm attached zoom lens. Would put in a laptop if needed and there’s still more room to spare maybe for a flash. Great bag over all

[@GlebLapham]

Oh yeah I love it. Sometimes it feels like it bigger on the inside! I’m surprised by how much it can carry!

[@Astrokhels]

Gleb Lapham that true but too much weight would put a strain on one shoulder. I would get a bag pack for that. Objectively it’s just to store and travel from home - car - hotel for me on a trip. On my hikes I just attached a peak design attachment on my hiking pack shoulder strap to carry my camera. I couldn’t be happier on this bag. It’s actually price that I don’t see much sales on this bag. Most opt for around $50-100 for a dslr carrier. This bag for the price is really worth it.

[@GlebLapham]

Oh yeah totally agree. I have a separate backpack for hiking and carrying more gear. On that I have the peakdesign clip so I can have quick access. But for walking around town, or traveling with minimal gear the DNA 13 was an awesome bag. Both as a camera bag and as an everyday bag

Those divided up compartments look huge. How many dividers does it come with? Might have to go with a smaller size.

[@GlebLapham]

There’s three main compartments that are the height of the bag. You can sort of bend the dividers down and stack things together.

I'm loving the content! Keep them coming!!

[@GlebLapham]

+HOX Productions Thanks man!

[@paulmathers8864]

is it heavy to carry with things in it

[@GlebLapham]

Depends on how much you pack in there. Full frame cam with a couple of lenses isn’t too bad.

[@Silv3rF00x]

Can it take nikon 200-500mm?

[@TaziH3ro]

Been waiting to get this bag for a while, found it for a good price too. Just need to wait for shipping.

[@gizmoriderfulye8007]

I read that those magnetic fasteners are bad on Tenba, is it so?

[@GlebLapham]

Sometimes they can flick off if they’re a bit loose. But once you tighten the straps that they’re on they stay on there pretty good. I personally haven’t had any problems with them.

[@lukmie2769]

Those magnetic flaps look just like a very poor design IMO. I decided not to go with this bag because of them.

[@Parrothed5150]

Can you add a laptop or iPad with the camera insert in?

[@GlebLapham]

Sure can. Since I have the 13” bag I can add a 13” no problem. An iPad fits even better.

[@Parrothed5150]

Gleb Lapham how about both?

[@GlebLapham]

Depends on how thick your laptop is and if you have a case on the iPad. I have a 13” MacBook Air and it fits well with the iPad. But it can feel a bit snug.

[@Parrothed5150]

Gleb Lapham I have a 13 inch MBP in a case and a standard new iPad in a case.

[@Proph85]

If you're sitting in front of a camera talking, the music just makes it harder to hear you.

[@GlebLapham]

Hey thanks for letting me know. I’ll work on balancing em out in future videos.

[@kieken107]

The review itself is pretty good but the music in the background is very distracting. Sounds like i'm playing tekken or something

[@diarimoment742]

That's a big bag.
