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 originally ordered this pack for a photographer friend but when I opened it I decided to keep it for myself! It has every secure compartment one would ever need and could be used for a wide variety of purposes. The pull-tabs are very sturdy and will stand up to intense and frequent use. It has a top compartment with a hard covershell for breakable items that zips shut with elastic string and clasp. Each zipper is also covered and protects the zipper and addsmore protection for items in the pack. Two pockets in the front, one has tons of different compartments for various items. The front hasan opening in bottom of the pack that you can be access items in the bottom of the pack. The sides of the pack have straps to hold itemsas well as pockets that can be synched shut. One side has plastic name cardholder. The back has padded, select a size straps that canbe strapped securely on. Inside are more Velcro shelves! There is a very padded packet that any size laptop would fit securely in and bevery protected, and more zipper compartments. The Velcro “shelf” can be removed if you want one large compartment in the backpack. Thestraps even have zipper pockets for cell phones etc. There is also a fold out pocket from the bottom that a tripod could be placed andstrapped to the pack for safekeeping. The bottom of the pack has 2 sturdy rubber feet to keep the pack up off the surface and standupright. The waist pack has padded adjustable straps as well as a handle. Inside are more removable Velcro separators as well as anadjustable shoulder strap. Even comes with a very durable elastic edged rain cover. Every time I look at it I am surprised by another pocket or compartment! I would defiantly recommend this backpack!

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

This bag is amazing!!! It feels safe and secure on my bag, no slipping of the straps and various ways of adjusting for comfort. It has so many pockets!!! Can't wait to get this bag out on the road with all my camera gear.

LOVE IT, room to grow, WOWI need more time with it, the Midwest has been too cold to go out with my gear.The only con I see right now is when I have my winter jacket on the straps are very short

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

Ordered this for myself, husband liked the size so well that he took mine, just ordered a 2nd bag. I like the idea of having 2 separate areas for gear, allows us to put the not so frequently used gear in the bottom compartment.

This bag is BIG! And that's what I needed for my gear. I really love the quality of it. And I can just hope, that the quality will remain the same with time. Easy to recommend this bag.

love this bag, very easy to retreat camera & compartment easy to configure.
