This is a very well made, compact backpack perfect for camera gear- and it even attaches a tripod to the side of it!The slim front pouch is a great spot for a cell phone and doesn't feel super easy to access- which provides a bit of safety from pick pockets. The center pocket neatly holds notepads, pens and more gear or supplies. The padded slots inside securely hold a DSLR camera, various lenses, cases, gadgets, and can be reconfigured to suit your needs. The backpack holds a nice shape and can easily fit into luggage or a larger backpack (which is exactly how I plan to configure my carry on luggage).The pack also features padded and rugged straps with both shoulder, waist and chest connections to assist you in carrying a heavier load of gear. The chest connector was slightly higher up on the pack and I think if I a person were taller than 6'2" the pack wouldn't fit quite as well. I very much like that the pack isn't huge and seems to fit the perfect amount of gear I would choose to travel with for any given trip. The overall finish and branding on the back pack looks classy and of high quality and it features hot orange trim and accents inside of the middle pouch. It even comes with a branded rain pouch to cover your gear in emergencies. A very well made, well thought out product!GREAT photography bag overall and exactly what I needed.I received this backpack along with the 62 inch tripod for testing and review purposes. All opinions expressed here are genuine and true to my impression of the items!
