“As my mom says, I have a thing for bags. I researched a lot of different bags before choosing the Sunny 16 Voyager. I travel internationally every year, and only use a carry-on luggage backpack for clothes and smaller backpack as a personal item. I love bringing my Nikon D3500 and a few lenses with me on these trips, but on the last few trips, I struggled with how best to transport my gear safely while not having to drag along an extra backpack. I ended up putting my camera and one lens at a time in a small messenger bag, but I didn't love this approach because it wasn't as secure, and it caused a lot of pain on my neck from the weight. My camera gear was usually stored in a small sling bag which worked great as storage but impractical for taking with me anywhere.
What I love about the Voyager is that it looks like a normal backpack, but has all the features I look for in a travel bag--solid construction, tons of space and pockets, and lockable zippers. It's cute and features like the side opening to quickly grab my camera, and the port for charging, are just a bonus on top. I would 100% recommend purchasing the waist straps with the bag (they should honestly just be included) because it made a huge difference for distributing the weight.
I decided to test out my bag by taking it with me to the beach! My mom and I went to a dog park and I thought I'd try it out as a test run. The bag actually protected my gear from sand and the hot sun really well due to the thick canvas. The front pockets were perfect for holding a can of Coke, my phone, keys, etc. I threw my book in the section on top along with a few other items, with plenty of room to spare. I was happy with the bag overall, and can't wait to try it out on a road trip in a few weeks! (Thanks, Facebook algorithm!)”
“Received the bag in a very sturdy shipping box, Nice!! Once it was unboxed, I was very impressed with the quality of the bag and the workmanship. Very high quality material, very good quality zippers and magnetic clasps. It has ample storage and different access points to the storage. There seems to be ample Velcro dividers for different storage configurations. Looking forward to trying out this bag soon. Compared to the bags I looked at before purchasing this bag, this one is far superior in quality, material, and storage. Well worth the money!!”

“In unpacking this item, it appears to be very well made. It is very spacious, with many compartments. I am so excited to start using it. I purchased it to use when I travel via planes and for short hiking trips. Great product!!”
“This is definitely the worse camera bag I've ever purchased. It looks nothing like the pictures in your advertisement. It's so small, my gear would not fit in this small backpack. It came flat as a pancake and wrinkled out of the box. I would not feel comfortable depending on this bag to provide adequate protection to my expensive equipment. I have requested a return on this bag, it has been 5 days and I haven't heard a word on the return. Your email said I would have a response within 48 hours. That hasn't happened. I am so disappointed.”
