[3.2 lb (1.5 kg)] I bought my first one in 2010. The zipper popped the tracks so I got a new one. The best I can say about it is that when it came time to replace it, I looked all around and ended up buying the exact same case.

[4.15 lb] utilitarian and effective

[4.15 lb] I could write more and waste all our time, or you could buy a Brenthaven and try it for yourself. I bought this one, and it dropped onto a concrete sidewalk with a $3k laptop. No damage whatsoever. Best comfort too.

[4.15 lb] Tenba has always had good camera bags. This one is great for travel and also out for a day shoot. I traveled to the Pantanal with this bag. I used it for our daily excursions. We were on open buses looking for animals and birds. And I used it on boat trips to photograph Jaguars. I could put my Canon R3 w/attached 100-500 lens in it. I also had an extra body and lens. And other small photo gear. The dividers have velcro so you can personalize it for your needs.

[4.15 lb] It is a great product. very sturdy and holds our computervery well. love it

[4.15 lb] After carrying the de facto standard journalists’ bag (begins with D, ends with e) since the mid-1980s (went through 5 or 6 terrific, wonderful bags), my lenses and their hoods no longer fit in that layout. My recent purchase of a Nikon Z 85mm f/1.2 with a 4” hood forced me to a different layout. I chose the Tenba DNA 16 Pro messenger style which puts my lenses in a nice, tight row with lens hoods in locked-and-loaded, ready-to-go position. I positioned one of the padded flaps over the shortest lens and my camera body rides on top.



The materials are durable and pleasant to touch. Memory card wallet, cables, paperwork, tissues and mints fit neatly in the zippered side pocket. You do need to make sure not to overload that area so the flap closes neatly. I would like to see a dedicated pocket for pens. The quiet flap velcro works just as described (and I learned the velcro on Tenba memory card wallets work the same quiet way). The tabs to secure the flap use a Fidlock magnet system which take a few minutes to get used to, but once you do, they magically snap into a secure configuration. They allow you to secure the flap essentially without looking. I regularly use the carrying handle on top. I have yet to use the pass-through opening on the flap. The main strap is excellent: the padding is soft, yet grippy. The fully-loaded bag stays wonderfully put on my shoulder. My speed light-styled flash rides in a mesh end pocket. An accessory lens case occasionally rides on the other end when I need a fourth lens.



I’ve worked with the bag for two months now. I was anxious to order such a bag without seeing it in person, not being able to gauge the exact size and feel of the materials. But when I pulled the new bag from its packaging, I uttered the word “wow.” If you work in a corporate or business environment, and you need to work quickly, this bag needs to be high on your list.

[3.2 lb (1.5 kg)] I use this product everyday and what I like the most about this product is that it has the perfect amount of space without being bulky or overly large as most backpacks. I use it to carry my iPad, books, headphones and more. My only complaint (very small) is that it uses these little velcro patches to seal the outside pockets on the side and it scratches my hand when I put things in them. May be, If Brenthaven does a redesign, they could use magnets versus velcro.

[4.15 lb] I really love a good camera bag, and this one has been just what I needed. I am primarily a video-shooter, and I wanted to find a cross-shoulder, messenger style bag that would allow me to set my video rig down flat in the bottom (the rig consists of a Nikon Z9 + lens + top handle + monitor and mount). That's a lot to ask of any bag; and the truth is that my rig does not quite fit fully-assembled into the bag, but it's close (I have to remove the monitor and lay it in next to the camera to keep it from bulging the lid flap). I am impressed and happy with the extent to which I can lay my rig down into the bag to have it protected between locations, and there is still room for an additional lens or two next to the camera. This bag is well-designed, weather protected, and comfortable to wear for a full-day shoot. I am extremely happy with it.

[3.2 lb (1.5 kg)] I like my new DNA 16 Pro Camera Messenger Bag. I was surprised how much space there actually was. I got the 16 basically so I could carry my notebook computer and if I were not going to take my notebook, I could easily go with a smaller bag. Right now I carry 2 mirrorless bodies, a 16mm-24mm, 24mm-70mm and 70mm-200mm lenses w/lens hoods, memory cards, card reader, extra batteries and recharge, Notebook computer w/electric plug, external hard drive, paper pad, pen and pencils, hooded foldable rain jacket and other misc. items. It does get somewhat heavy but for carrying short distances, it's fine. I'll probably refine what I carry the more l use it. The addition of the carrying handle is much appreciated.

[3.2 lb (1.5 kg)] Had this bag for about a month. The amount of pockets is quite nice, and the shoulder strap is comfortable.
