Tenba Messenger Slim 16

Tenba Messenger Slim 16

Designed for seamless transitions between photojournalism and sports photography, urban exploration and adventure travel, and all types of social events with or without a camera, the blue Tenba DNA 16 Pro camera shoulder bag can hold a professional-sized DSLR with grip and 70-200mm lens attached with room for up to six lenses total plus 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 use as a conventional bag. Thoughtful design features and patented hardware make this bag easy to use and durable against the elements.

What it contains

Removable padded camera insert slides out to convert the bag for general use, not for taking pictures; does not affect the back cover, so the bag can still be used to carry a tablet even when the padded insert has been removed

Holds a professional DSLR camera with 70-200mm 2.8 lens and grip, 4-6 additional lenses, a flash and accessories.

Sleeve for laptop up to 16" and tablet up to 11"

The superior quick-access zipper allows you to exchange cameras and lenses securely without opening the front flap, keeping the contents of the bag hidden in the process.

The zippered front pocket, located under the main flap, provides secure storage for important items such as batteries, cables, memory cards, a phone and keys.

The zippered back pocket is ideal for passport and other items.

Stretch mesh side pockets provide quick storage for a small water bottle on the outside of the bag.

MOLLE-compatible outer loops on the right side allow attachment of accessories such as lens capsules, recharging battery pouches and card wallets from Tenba, and any other MOLLE-compatible pouches.

How it is done

70D lightweight ripstop nylon interior with two layers of polyurethane coating and soft brushed tricot lining

Helix all-weather polyurethane-coated nylon exterior

The TPU-coated, seam-sealed base is completely waterproof on the bottom 1.5" of the bag, so you can place the bag securely on any wet surface, even for extended periods of time.

The Whisper Hook closure on the flap can be opened with near-silent operation by pulling down on the flap before removing it from the bag.

The front flap extends over the bag and has a sewn-in hinge to ensure easy closure and weather-resistant coverage at the corners.

The Stealth reflective panel at the bottom of the front flap is made of black reflective material for increased safety and visibility at night.

The removable, reversible WeatherWrap rain cover is silver on one side to reflect the sun on hot days and black on the other side for camouflage.

Magnetic Fidlock clips allow for quick slide release and easy re-installation for one-handed opening and closing, even when wearing gloves or when the bag is behind you.
