There’s an Amazon Basics bag for cameras that has worked wonderfully for me. This looks like a newer, cheaper model of it: AmazonBasics Backpack for SLR/DSLR Camera and Accessories - 11 x 6 x 15 Inches, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VPE1WK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XihlDb3DDHV3J
Edit: here is the exact one I have: AmazonBasics DSLR Camera and Laptop Backpack Bag - 13 x 9 x 18 Inches, Black And Orange https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CF5OGP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QjhlDbTVZGNES
From the Professor at Tolarian Community College's most recent video: This Camera Backpack or this Parts Organizer work very well. I have the parts organizer which I currently use to carry 9 commander decks in UltraPro 100+ Deckboxes, the Explorers of Ixalan Tiles, and my Oversized cards (Planechase, Archenemy). I've been considering attaching a playmat tube to the side of the case with zip ties.
I really like Boulders! They're the most compact deck boxes that can hold 100+ double sleeved cards and make no sacrifices to security.
If I am going to a friend's and just need to bring a few decks, I put four Boulders into an Ultimate Guard Arkhive 400+ and that into a messenger bag. If I need to bring like 8+ decks or a bunch of misc accessories then I have one of the Amazon Basics camera bags that the prof reviewed (though the price went up which probably means there's a new, cheaper model. I think I paid around $30). It's not the most glam, but it's incredibly functional! It has a holder on that side that securely holds a playmat tube and has velcro partitions inside so you can adjust it to fit any deck box configuration you have. I can fit up to 12 boulders in there without issue.
No offense OP, but I just bought a Pelican 1120 case from Amazon for $24, and it holds 4 watches after cutting out the foam. It is also crush proof and watertight.
They sell smaller sizes for cheaper prices too ($17.49): https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1060-Micro-Case-Clear/dp/B001OF5TII
Amazon Basic DSLR Bags work great to carry your gear. However, I'd suggest figuring out what formats and decks you're realistically going to play and only bring what makes sense. This also limits the risk in case someone bag swipes you. I carry the linked DSLR bag with 1 EDH decks, and either my Modern or Standard deck along with associated supplies (sleeves, dice, mat). That's still ~$1200 but it's less than others I know who carry all their decks at once. Before I head out, I pull decks that I might want to play that night, narrow it down and then pack my bag. For FNM, I'll only carry a single deck. For a casual day, I'll carry 3-4 depending on the formats we might play (2 Pauper, 1-2 EDH, Modern Jank).
We have a private Discord for the people who are regulars at the LGS and I'll figure out if anyone wants to borrow a deck and I might bring one or two to loan out. Figure out what formats you're going to play before heading out and load up. Leave everything else at home.
My favorite is to use DSLR camera bags. You can get them cheaply on Amazon.
The nice thing is that they have movable velcro dividers, so you can rearrange the compartments however you like. It also allows you to keep things separate- i.e. storing the silicone lube away from the silicone toys.
If you want to go a little more pricey for protection, I highly recommend the Pelican 1010 Micro case. I’ve fallen on, dropped, thrown (Tourette’s lmao), and abused this case for well over a year now, and not one of the wide variety of items that have been inside has so much as gotten a scratch. 11/10, highly recommend.
Buy a Pelican case and cut the foam to fit. Carry it on and you'll be fine.
Amazon Basics has a couple sizes of camera bag that could be an option; I have the larger and it fits my old P&S, camcorder, and EM10ii w/ pancake and 2 lenses (and all the assorted chargers and spare batteries for all the devices) with room to spare. I wouldn't call it a great solution if you're looking for something to wear on a hike or out on the town for an evening, but if you're just looking for something to keep your gear together to easily be able to take in your car, the price can't be beat.
Have three of those and then an assortment of other Pelican cases. The 1010's fit 18650s PERFECTLY though.
Personally I just use my Swiss Gear backpack to carry my decks which are usually either in fat pack boxes, a deck builder kit box, or an Ultimate Guard Boulder for my really expensive commander deck and my partially foiled out Hedron Alignment deck.
It works pretty well since I can carry 4-5 decks with my notes from school assuming I only I had 1-2 different subjects that day. Plus I still have room (barely) for a playmat tube, my dice bag, my water bottle, my laptop and my lunch box. Gotta get a bit creative with the packing though. But it works if I'm planning on doing Magic stuff right after class.
I heard a user on here a bit ago mentioned the Amazon Basics Camera Bag being surprisingly decent for Magic. Playmat tube strapped into the tripod strap and you can fit many decks in the main compartment. Considering getting it myself for a dedicated Magic bag.
Past that, I was also considering one of the Kakapopo briefcases for carrying around all my commander decks. I imagine slamming down a briefcase on a table and opening it up to reveal an arsenal of commander decks looks and feels badass. Plus TCC rated the U1 fairly well so that's something.
I've been using Amazon small camera cases (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0LVDJO/) which can hold 5 * 3.5" hard drives for rotating local & remote backups. It's basically a Pelican knock off case which is water proof, has a pressure relief valve and with a external lock can be secured. Definitely a good way to keep an off-site backup in the office, with family, friends, etc. Don't forget to get some anti-static bags for the drives.

no problem, here’s an example
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002VPE1WK/
I use this for my BOBOVR M2 headstrap on my Quest 2, and it's a halo style strap. I don't even need to collapse the strap at all, so I can keep the settings I use.
Its a pelican case. I have the same one in black. They come in a variety of sizes and colors. example: https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1200-Case-Foam-Black/dp/B0002INQT2/ref=sr\_1\_4?dchild=1&keywords=pelican+case&qid=1624638185&sr=8-4
So I've got a gear question but not a camera question
So I hike entirely too much and I bring my camera and a couple lenses with me when I go, but I'm getting fed up with having to carry my camera bag while wearing my hiking bag. This is the camera bag I carry and this is the hiking bag I wear I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a camera bag hiking bag combo that has a pouch for a water bag?
I'm not opposed to a chest mounted camera bag, and honestly it seems like that may be a better option due to extra usability. So recommendations there are welcome too.
If it's relevant the hikes I normally go on are between 10 and 20 miles.
This works great for me with the elite strap
Powerextra Professional Waterproof Little DSLR Camera Backpack for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Samsung, Panasonic, Pentax and More Cameras https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L15Z3PY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_XVGJF9ENCD1H1V9VEY9T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Someone suggested THIS case on Amazon. I haven't gotten one yet so I don't know.
THIS will hold the Hybrid, herb chamber, power cable, whip, and a couple of bags.
It's pretty snug, but is decent for the price!
:P
Anyways, i'm just trying to let you know that amazon has plenty of quality bags for < 40 so no real need to buy used.
Another recommendation is the amazon basics pack.
It has a configurable inside padding. I can fit my Taranis in it, some repair tools, 10 - 15 batteries, and a small 10" laptop, and tie my quad on the outside.
For the price, and the fact Im just starting out, you cant beat the Amazon Basics DSLR Backpack. Quality and design have held up great for me.
AmazonBasics Backpack for SLR/DSLR Cameras and Accessories - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VPE1WK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RJXSybDA2K3DX
I use an amazon DSLR bag and have gotten pretty pleased with the setup: https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2/
Currently I have 2 EDH decks, 2 Standard decks, and my limited box in there, and there's room for 3 more standard sized boxes stacked on top of what you see in picture 2. Side pockets have dice on one side and another deckbox with tokens on the other, front flap holds pens, scoring pads, DCI card, and usually extra sleeves or whatever.
The limited box has 9 of each land sleeved up (I'm terrible at deckbuilding and can't afford to waste time sleeving lands) and 40 or so sleeves for the deck and a few sideboard cards.
The playmat tube attaches to the front (straps meant for a tripod), which is adequate at best. I wish it could strap down to the top instead, but it works well enough.
Check out Pelican cases, they come in all kinds of sizes and you can add a foam insert to keep things in place. Here's an Amazon link but the Pelicans website will give you more dimensions: https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Case-Pelican-1060-Micro/dp/B001OF5TII/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1507784910&sr=8-8&keywords=pelican+case+1050
I was just thinking about this. I picked up a Pelican 1200 on Amazon for $39.99 as part of last year's Black Friday sale. It's currently listed as $67, but I think this is somewhat of a mainstay for their annual sale. I don't know that it's 'non-bulky', but it's definitely strong and the pick and pluck foam makes for a nice custom fit for my 1911.

A quick search turns up this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Backpack-DSLR-Cameras-Accessories/dp/B002VPE1WK/ Space for a laptop, adjustable partitions in the deep middle section for cameras and lenses, pocket in front too. Bonus straps on the side for tripod. $30 or a small fraction of the Peak Design bag. 4.4 stars with 5500 customer reviews. Looks like a pretty solid choice and if you don't like it, Amazon has good customer service for returns.
check out this amazon basic, I have the same bag and it worked pretty well before we moved to the peak design. I remember seeing a 3rd party one where it had an orange interior which I recommend, easier to see everything, since most camera gear is black.
Yeah, looks quite similar to this on Amazon for $23, which is a bit cheaper than the bag OP linked. Definitely worth looking into, I think camera bags are easier to find for cheap than the ones marketed for crafts specifically.
