Are you a tech savvy individual who travels and is in need of a backpack? Or just need a tech friendly backpack? I was in need of both and that's what we will be discussing
Today with BAD Tech & Gaming review of the Zoom Check point Friendly Backpack. Stick around to the end for our buying recommendation.
Why cover this backpack?
lets dig in first off the design is great for a techie who carries a lot of gadgets around with you some of which include battery backups, tablets, laptop, Microphone, camera tripods. Zoom does this very well it has a microfiber pouch for any tablet meaning you don’t need a case to travel with, also the back pouch with a side zipper enables easy quick access to a laptop which I will also use for books or paperwork from time to time as well. With a total of two more pouches that can hold different books laptops or other tablets. This means I can have a text book, tablet, laptop, and another laptop all with separate pouches away from one another while still having the main deep part of the backpack area open for other things.
Below is a slideshow showing off some of the bags features
On the front of the bag there is two pouches that can easily fit my note 9 each of the two slots. Below that are two pockets that can only be good for a tube of Chopstick beside the Chopstick pocket are 3 pen/pencil holders then a mesh pouch for really mi not sure what maybe a wallet? the top zippered pouch has two pockets in them not big enough for my note 9 but there is a headphone access slit, however I use Bluetooth headphones so I put battery packs in side the pockets and use the headphone cut out for a charging cable. This works out amazingly especially when my phone is in the pouch below makes for easy charging. If I am out on an adventure filming or out for fun I don’t have to worry about running out of battery so this becomes a very useful and well used combo of pouches.
The back of the bag is airport friendly with completely unzippable laptop/back pouch said to make airport checkpoints a bit easier. I find I use this feature more as a portable table when I am recording my videos, as generally tech doesn’t do well on concrete or dirt. Plus I am pretty sure they want your laptop out of the bag 100% now a days anyway
More on the travel part this bag is surprisingly small for what you can fit in it, and it does have a back strap for suitcase travel not to mention a back handle so you can easily show the contents of you bag as needed (great for Disney checkpoints) and a top gel like handle for comfortable carrying.
On the sides of the bag you have a simple zipper pouch for small items, and only one water bottle holster.
In conclusion
With standard yet comfortable padding on the straps and back this makes for a well thought out and useful backpack that fits my needs as a techie and when I travel it also has my back! BAD jokes aside this is more than a standard backpack, it is well though out. Where this bag stands out especially for being a bit more expensive is being a medium sized bag with well placed pouches to maximize storage better than most bigger bags and a stylish tech like design inside and out. Unlike a lot of bags that are in this category this one is well thought out and waste a ton of space allowing for faster travel and more comfortable carrying options than most.
