I had low expectations of this backpack, but thought I would give it a try. Almost everything about it is well thought out and performs perfectly. I am able to rearrange this quickly for different needs and it seems like there is an endless array of places to organize things (though this can cause you to forget where you put things at first until you use that arrangement a few times).Only 2 slight changes. You can't stretch the side pouches, yet there is mesh and an slide lock (problem is they sewed the edge material that does not stretch locking this pouch at the set size. I have completely undid that and sewed my own solution that lets me stuff things in the mesh pouches and use the providing slide locks. Also, the top hard shell case is just a tad too small for my Spark and Mavic Air drones. This would be a home run if it werent' for those 2 small things. But all that aside, phenomenal value for the cost.

I like this bag. It holds five lenses, a DSLR, spare batteries, a charger, a bounce flash unit and diffuser, a couple of polarizer lenses, a small travel tripod, a monopod strapped to the side, and a few other things I am probably forgetting, with room to spare. Even with a lot of weight in gear it is comfortable to carry.Set it down on its back and access to the camera and lenses is easy. It will also stand up straight if set down on a hard surface. It is nice having the separate lower pouch for the accessories. The interior velcro panels are easy to configure and have stayed put.The padding is thick enough where I do not worry about accidental drops or such. And the laptop pouch works great as well though it has to be completely unzipped to get a large laptop inside.I am an amateur user, not a hard-core volcano climbing pro, so I cannot comment on its durability. So far it is holding up well.

If you're looking for a versatile, large pack to lug a lot of your gear into the woods or through an airport, this may be the pack for you. This pack is quality throughout, and there are more pockets and useable space than most of us will ever need. I own 5 DSLRs, and I'm able to fit 2 into the pack along with 3 lenses for each, lots of spare batteries, lens cleaners, filters and just about any other useful item I need. One of the greatest features is the very useful day-pack, which can come out of the pack and fastened to your waist. The added bonus to that is that you can use the space inside the pack (that you free up by removing the day-pack) for storing a snack and maybe a water bottle.The only con that I can think of for this pack, if you want to consider it a con, is that there is so much space that you can over-pack with too much photo gear and really bog yourself down. For that reason, you really can't go any larger in a photo backpack without making it too heavy to put on your back.One downside to most of these photo backpacks is that they're not on par with regular backpacks in terms of comfort, and this one is no exception. The shoulder and waist straps are thinner in comparison to those on a quality, regular backpack. And if you load the pack with lots of heavy photo gear, it tends to sag and the straps will dig deeply into your shoulders.But if you don't load it down, its fine for most photo backpacking duties. So, why did I give it 5 stars? Well, quite simply put, this pack is very low in price in comparison to most professional photo backpacks, which can easily cost several hundred dollars. You really can't get much more bang for the buck with this pack. For what you're paying, this pack is excellent.If you're looking for a backpack to store a single camera and a couple of lenses for a long hike in the woods or an overnight stay, you may be better off with a traditional backpack and a 'photo insert.' That way, you can take a sleeping bag, small tent, food and a basic photo setup. For an overnight trek like that, I use a Kelty Coyote 80 with a photo insert. The utility of owning both backpacks is that I can tailor; selecting the right pack for the situation.In summary, this is a great pack, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I found the room to pack all of my equipment and a few extras, The compartments are all easily accessible and well padded. The only problem is I have so much room, I put more than I can carry in the bag. It weighs too much, I think I will have to slim down the amount of equipment I placed in the bag,

Ok...I opened this up today. AMAZING! Stitching is great the zippers flow easy. Water proof cover secondary small camera bag is nice...my daughter already took it over.

This is a fantastic design and construction. Organizes all needed gear in an efficient manner. This is above the rest in this category.

Can easily fit multiple pro dslr bodies and 6-8 lenses depending on how you use each compartment. The wife and I could easily fit 2 cameras and everything needed to shoot a whole wedding. Keep in mind this is a LARGE bag. There is no way you could use this as a carry-on for a plane, but the padding is robust and I would put this in check bagging (insure your gear against loss/theft!) and not worry about damage. Overall high quality and very capable. My main advice would be to make sure you need this big of a bag-it is the size of a duffel just about.If looking for a day-pack or something to just carry one camera, a couple lenses and some other misc stuff, you would be better off getting a smaller alternative that isnt so bulky.

Perfect for my needs. Seems durable, haven't taken it out and tested it yet. Zippers and stitches all seem strong and like they will hold up. Appreciate the smaller camera bag and the weather cover thing-super cool! Love the size of it and the look and especially all of the pockets and hooks- I kept finding more and more as I inspected it haha. Can't wait to take it out

Wow! This is huge, but finally we have a very comfortable and spacious backpack for ALL of our photo items. Highly recommended!

Amazing customer service. The bag is way too big for my use and their customer service took care of it right away. No hassle. Refunded me the money and told me to keep it. Well made and huge if you need all the room.
