Built for seamless transitions between photojournalism and sports photography, urban exploration and adventure travel, and all kinds of social events, with or without a camera, the blue Tenba DNA 16 Slim Camera Messenger Bag can hold a camera with attached 70-200mm 2.8 lens, four to six additional lenses, a flash, accessories, personal gear, a laptop, and a tablet. The camera and lenses fit inside a padded insert in the main compartment that can be removed to allow its use as a conventional bag. Thoughtful design features and proprietary hardware make this bag easy to use and durable against the elements.
What It Holds
Removable padded camera insert slides out to convert the bag for general-purpose, non-photo use—it does not affect the rear sleeve so the bag can still be used to carry a tablet even when the padded insert has been removed
Holds a mirrorless or DSLR camera with attached 70-200mm 2.8 lens, 4-6 additional lenses, a flash, and accessories
Sleeve for a laptop up to 16″ and a tablet up to 11″
Quick-access top zipper allows you to securely exchange cameras and lenses without opening the front flap, keeping the bag contents hidden in the process
Zippered front pocket, located under the main flap, provides secure storage for important items like batteries, cables, memory cards, phone, and keys
Zippered rear pocket is ideal for a passport and other items
Elastic mesh side pockets provide quick storage for a small water bottle on the exterior of the bag
MOLLE-compatible exterior loops on the right side allow the attachment of accessories such as Tenba’s Lens Capsules, Reload Battery Pouches and Card Wallets, and any other MOLLE-compatible pouches
How It’s Made
Lightweight 70D shadow ripstop nylon interior with two layers of polyurethane coatings and soft brushed-tricot lining
TPU-coated and seam-sealed base is completely waterproof on the bottom 1.5″ of the bag, so you can safely put the bag down on any wet surface—even for extended periods of time
Whisper Hook Closure on the flap can be opened with nearly silent operation by pulling straight down on the flap before pulling away from the bag
Front flap extends over the bag and has a sewn hinge to ensure easy closure and weatherproof coverage at the corners
Stealth reflective panel on the lower portion of front flap is made with black reflective material to increase safety and visibility at night
Removable and reversible WeatherWrap rain cover is silver on one side to reflect the sun on hot days and black on the other side to blend in
Fidlock magnetic clips allow fast slide release and easy drop-on reattachment so it can be opened and closed with one hand, even when wearing gloves or when the bag is behind you
Reliable YKK zippers
Reflective corded zipper pulls
How You Carry & Wear It
Soft padded top grab handle
Adjustable length seatbelt-style webbing shoulder strap is strong and long enough for secure cross-body carrying
Contoured memory foam shoulder pad has integrated silicone-coated nonslip grips
Rear trolley strap slides over the extending handle of rolling luggage or equipment case for secure piggyback travel
Adjustable cycling security strap connects to D-rings on the back of the bag, anchoring it in position and preventing it from sliding forward while riding a bicycle or scooter
