Firstly this is a very well made bag. Solid materials and well put together it feels like a quality pack. It is quite compact, not too big and could just about scrape through a Ryanair baggage line up. It is very well padded and provides a lot of protection for both cameras and other tech such as laptops etc.

There is a considerable array of dividers to enable the interior to be set up in a way which serves your needs best. The dividers are quite rigid and not that padded, however as long as the camera gear or whatever you have in there is packed tightly they should be well protected.

On the outside at the front there is the smooth hard panel which protects the gear inside. From photos this can look a bit "Darth Vader" but in reality its quite modest and finishes the exterior of the pack well, the only real downside being there is no option to have pockets in this area. This is fastened by a twin zip but would need some kind of security fitted such as a small padlock or it would be a magnet for thieves perhaps.

Moving around to the sides there are water bottle type pockets on each side with one side having a strap further up the pack to allow a tripod to be tied there securely. It would have been nice to see at least one of these pockets have a zip so you could put spare batteries, small lenses etc.

On the back is the only secure pocket on the exterior of the pack. This is in the form of a security pocket that lies just below the luggage pass through strap. The pocket is actually quite big and can hold a phone, wallet, passport etc comfortably.

On top there is a very solid handle, it would have been nice to see a side handle as well. On the bottom of the pack it is just normal material, no apparent different waterproofing or rubber feet so not the best to place on the floor especially when the floor is wet.

Moving inside the main compartment, it is an ample size to hold a multitude of camera gear or can be divided up between camera gear and other bits and pieces. The interior flap of the hard shell has two large zip pockets which could take a variety of items as long as they are not too thick.

The laptop compartment which sits closest to your back is very well padded, good for laptops up to 14" but I think many will struggle with older machines over this size. There's also room to cram some items that need security like phone / wallet etc in this space.

That's it really. For cameras, tech etc it is a great bag for protecting your gear. I can see this being used as a day pack for photographers or drone operators who have a specific task to carry out, whether that be weddings, nature etc (there is a rain cover supplied too). However, if you are thinking this is the type of backpack that can be used for travel or some kind of hybrid camera / travel pack I think this might be challenging due to the lack of pockets to place other items. It is first rate for specific tasks but possibly does not serve well as a multi use backpack.

Its well made and materials / construction are definitely a 5/5 but I will need to give the whole pack a 4/5 due to its lack of adaptability to other tasks. Perhaps a bit unfair as it is marketed as a camera backpack. I wish I could select 4.5 stars.

Recommended as long as you have a clear vision of what you are going to use this for.
