I have been using this backpack since 2023 and it is still in very good conditions.
Long story short:
- It holds what you need for short excursions (1 day), if you have lots of stuff, go for a bigger backpack.
- It looks good but it is also low profile, it won't draw too much attention.
- It is durable in moderate weather conditions, for extreme weather go for a more appropriate choice.
- It is practical, the quick access pocket on the side allows you to get to your camera very quickly.
(downside: quick access for thieves too, I usually lock it with a little lock when I go in crowded places).
- The modular interior is also practical and it allows you to adapt your backpack to your plan.
- It feels comfortable on my shoulders and I do not feel any discomfort at the end of the day.
- Not scratch proof but understandable, if you take care of it, it holds well.
- For the price I am satisfied about the general quality of the product.
- Good choice for casual/recreational photo/videographers.
Long story long:
I was a bit skeptical about the 2 little ''hooks'' to lock the upper cover, but they hold well if tightened properly and they do not ruin the loops where you hook them in.
It is not scratch proof, so if you go in a tight cave or in a place where you have to walk through bushes (forests/jungle/etc), expect some scratches. It is understandable and quite average.
The backpack can hold my equipment: 1x camera, 1x 100-400mm lens, 1x 35mm lens, 1x flash, 1x charger, a 1lt bottle, 1x tripod (not too big). 1x backpack rain cover, one or two simple sandwiches if packed well, 1 or 2 extra batteries based on the size (Leica Batteries DO NOT fit in the battery pocket inside the backpack, but you can fit them in other places), a couple extra SD cards in the SD pockets, 1x lens filter, I usually rollup a microfiber towel and lock it in place between the upper part of the backpack and the upper cover, it holds well.
You can attach some small gadgets on the D rings.
On the shoulder straps you can also attach some light extras.
Example: I also attach my 90 degree angled torch on it, it holds quite well.
The backpack doesn't draw too much attention either, when I tell people that I have my camera equipment in it, they are usually surprised. That is good against thieves that target photographers and videographers. But of course, luck plays a huge role with that.
The only worrying part is the quick access pocket, which is also quick access for thieves.
I usually lock it with a little lock when I go in crowded places.
Congrats, you are still here, hope you found this helpful.
