Stratus 8

The Stratus 21 camera bag is Great!! I love the interior and the way that you can configure it for your needs. I got all of my camera equipment in the bag with a lot of room to spare. I can add new equipment as I get it. I can also carry my other 35mm camera in the same bag. Great bag that is built well!! Also a great value for the price of the camera bag.

This bag is really well made and very roomy but has one major flaw. There are plenty of dividers to keep my equipment well protected and space for everything I need plus a little extra. That is very nice but getting to that equipment might be an issue for some people. The two front clasps may be difficult for some people to open. They are attached right against the pockets and do not allow the user to easily and quickly open them. Basically, it is a poor clasp that was not attached to a strap that would make it easier to operate. I've had previous Tamrac bags and have always been more than satisfied but I am reluctant to unconditionally recommend this bag. This is not a terrible product but could be much better. If you are looking for a large bag you can consider this but also might want to check out alternatives. I'm a little disappointed with Tamrac this time.

The Stratus is perfect for my camera gear great features and outstanding quality.

Great equipment bag. Used to organize my gear which is then loaded into a backpack or messenger bag for a specific shoot.

Good quality case with tons of room. Plenty of partitions for customization!

I bought this holder from Amazon after 4 attempts at other products, I wanted something that could hold both a DSLR, lenses and accessories, plus my bridge camera and a few filters, this was exactly what I was looking for.
I’m amazed at just how much it can hold but, it’s not bulky. If I had a gripe, it’s a very small one and it’s only a personal observation, the side pockets is where I carry my batteries, I’d have liked these to have a zipper, rather than just Velcro to make the pockets a wee bit more secure, but as I said, that’s only my own opinion.

On the whole, I’m extremely happy with my Tamrac Status 15

Thank you.

I bought a Tamrac bag years ago for my Nikon D90. I recently just upgraded to a D850 and after a long search on Amazon for a new camera bag, I couldn’t find anything that was really working for me with MB-D18 battery grip. My new Stratus 15 is perfect fit. Three lenses and a flash. Thanks Tamrac!

I purchased 2 Stratus camera bags and I feel that they are as great as the Zoom Traveler camera bags that I bought many years ago. They are rugged have plenty of pockets but, my favorite is the Lens Bridge/Lens Gate set up. I was never into putting the camera in the camera bag lens down and with this camera bag, I can lay the camera in the camera bag with the with the bottom of the camera down.

So, I would recommend this camera bag to anyone who needs a high quality one with lots of places to put things.

I recently got the Stratus 21 from Tamrac and the Stratus 10 from another store. The Stratus 21 seems to be ideal for my Canon 6D MkII with an attached 24-70 zoom,17-40mm, 70-300mm, 85mm, 35mm, flash, and numerous accessories (batteries, charger, cables, filters etc. There is room for more-possibly even another camera body. The quality seems to be up to traditional Tamrac standards (great). The zippers work well- not weather sealed but the lid flap covers the zippers anyway. The bag is attractive in an understated all black design. It does scream "camera gear inside" as it is a traditional Tamrac gear bag. My only nit pic about this bag, is the absence of a rain cover. I'm not going hiking with this bag, so it isn't a big deal. I think this bag will work as a domestic carryon, but I'm not sure about it fitting in the overheads ( I think it will- it is similar in size to my Tenba Shootout, which did fit). Overall, a really nice bag for my purposes.

I love my tamrac status 615 shoulder bag and i carry my nikon d750 and 4 lenses with my flash, flash meter and other ods and ends. I have the stratus 608 and my wife carry's a stratus 608. Good job of protecting my equipment. I say thanx to tamrac for a nice bag.

As a long-time fan of Tamrac products I must say; Sadly, as a photographer, I am disappointed in the new Stratus line of Tamrac shoulder bags. They offer less pockets and pouches to put things in - the quality has dropped and the NO. system on the bags is dissipative! I still have the No. 12 and No. 8 bag from the Pro Series. By comparison, the Old Pro 8 bag is the same size and offers more pouches & pockets than the New Stratus 10, for half the price! - - - Having said this, I still believe Tamrac is the best product on the market but - is now - highly over priced! I hope they will consider bringing back the features that made the Tamrac Camera Bags so special for Photographers like me.

Good replacement bag, I am a serious amateur and like the room it provides. I bought a stratus 8.

My other bag is a TENBA, this bag looks as well built and thoughtfully designed. I don't know the purpose of the two loops on the outside of the bag. I like this bag and hope to get a lot of good use out of it.

Great product. This is my 14th bag and love them all. I have many different sizes for the occasion and these bags just do not wear out. I've tried others but none were as good as Tamrac!

great bag for my Hasselblads and lenses...very well made and everything in its place.

My wife just got me this bag for my birthday because I needed a larger bag. Perfect for everything I carry with room for more. I couldn't be happier.

I just got hands on Str. 21 and first thing what I've realised that bag is quite misbalanced because is "falling" towards front side. That's important for my job because is dynamic and I don't have a time to close the lead all the time, I just grab the bag for shoulder strap and change position to continue shooting. If I have to change lens I can not afford myself to open and close the bag each and every time. So it's crucial for bag to be good balanced otherwise I'm risking to brake my second camera or something else if fall out.

Laptop and some heavy things at front are not welcome in this bag because they will add some extra weight and more misbalance. Please check and try to do something with bag strap position which will solve this issue.

Per my opinion, bag should remain straight when empty, when is lifted for shoulder stripe or even if you plan to have pocket for laptop even to be leaned just a tiny little to backside.

Most of the time I'm using 70-200 mm lens on Canon camera with battery grip. You should check how many space you have to fit this camera in the bag. Maybe you should lower camera position for one inch optionally and give us a little bit more space for lens (U profile a little bit wider).

Pocket(s) from inside (on lead) per my opinion was much better on Pro 12. This one I can not use because camera is already over pressed with the lead so I cant fit anything in this big pocket.

I have been told that Stratus 21 its improved Pro 12 but now I have to use totally different logic to place things inside. This is not convenient because after many years is difficult to change habits and find what you need especially if is dark or you're in hurry. Professionals don't have a too much time for adaptation so it will be very appreciated if you follow our needs instead.

Quality of Stratus 21 I hope it will be same as Pro 12 which was the best camera bag ever.

Purchased this as a gift for my husband to replace a 25 year old Tamrac bag. This bag is quite different than his old one and he says he needs a larger bag so we will be returning this one while he looks locally for a hands on review of the larger model.

Bag is full of compartments, and well thought out. Many numerous velcro partitions to design and configure the bag to your own liking. Well made well stitched. Hope to have this a lifetime
