Product Description
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
- Helix All-Weather polyurethane-coated nylon exterior
- 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

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.
I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible.
The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event.
What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer.
I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

“Quick and easy and with the option for in-store pickup.”
March 18, 2025 by Yin (Virginia, US)
“I have pre-ordered two cameras with Pixel Connection and both times have been wonderful experiences. Staff have been kind and helpful both times. They provided updates weekly and even provided me an option to purchase a different color camera when it became available before my pre-ordered color. They were also prompt with their shipping once payment was completed!”
