Look, don't get me wrong; this is an excellent bag. It's well made, sturdy, well padded, and on and on and on. The straps are MILES better than 90% of the competitors, and the removable, padded waist strap is a home run. The snap buckles are first class and the zippers work great. But why, why, WHY is it (like ALL of the camera backpacks) actually smaller than described? I don't care what video boy Jeff What's-his-name prattles on about for 12+ minutes in his flashy, quick edit, in your face diatribe; the bag is smaller than he and everyone else says it is. I had a simple mission; First, I needed a bag deep enough to hold my Pentax K3-II, with the battery grip attached, which it is deep enough to do, both at the top of the bag and the bottom. Second, it also needed to accommodate that rig with my Sigma 150-500mm lens attached, which again it does both up or down, but better pointing up. Next, I needed it to hold my Sigma 120-400mm on one side, and my JBL Flip 4 speaker on the other. THIS is where things got "tight". When I measured everything before buying the bag, the numbers all worked, and if I was of a mind to remove the lens collars and hoods, it would be a breeze, but I'm not, and that wasn't how I measured it to begin with.. Unfortunately, once I received the backpack, it was clear that the width dimensions were off by at least an inch. Fortunately, a combination of some extra-creative packing and the "give" in the bag's sides and padding gets it all to work, but it is tighter than I would have liked and than I was counting on. After sending back no less than 3 other bags which were MUCH too small, despite THOSE published measurements, as well, I'm keeping this one, but unless you're carrying some really small gear, his bag is NOT "too big". BTW, note that NONE of the pictures of the loaded bag (or any of the other bags on Amazon) show the bigger lenses packed with the lens hood reversed, as you would normally store it. That's your clue. Had this bag matched the advertised size, this would have been a 5 star review, but it comes up one star short.UPDATE: So, used the bag for the second time and... the stitching for one of the side buckles gave out. *sigh* I am SO sick and tired of sending these bags back, I'll just find a way to stitch it myself. Make this a THREE star review.

Like the design of the bag, especially the double straps in back to hold the tripod, other than that it is just a so-so bag. Own the Lowepro 300 which I really like. This bag is comparable in size, though it allows for an additional camera. The bag weighs more than the 300 and has cheaper zippers. Will be sending it back.

I bought this to house my Mavic 2 pro drone and all its equipment. I'm loving it so far and there's so much space I don't know what to do with it. Another plus is that it has the laptop pocket against its back so your laptop is pressed against your back so to speak nice and secure. Have a friend who's a photographer and he drools over this backpack.

I like it but returned it because it feel too bulky. I perceived that the material was durable.

A bit snug the laptop compartment is a bit snug for my HP omen 15.6 cause its a bit thicker, but aside from that great bag that will not disappoint, actually looks much more stylish than expected. cant beat it for the price.

I use this pack for my DSLR gear. I have room for 1 large (70-200) 2 medium size and 2 small lenses . Plus a speed light and table top tripod. Was just the right size for me. The only thing I can gripe about is the zipper on the laptop compartment has a bad spot on one side . The zipper gets stuck , the little teeth on each side doesn't line up correctly on about a half inch section of it. You can force it past it but I think it will break eventually. The other side zipper works fine.Not a big deal for me because I don't carry a laptop, just use it for a fold up reflector.

It's bigger and bulkier than I expected but it has all the storage I needed for my photography essentials. I have few lenses, external flash, and tripod. They all could fit in this bag plus more. It's made out of good material as well. Definitely a nice camera bag that fits my needs.
Lots of storage room! Lots of storage room!

I LOVE this bag, but after a week of use, the zippers started acting up. I would pay 30 dollars more for this bag with upgraded zippers. But right now, I am returning for a new one to see if it passed through QA when it shouldn't have.What I like..-Lots of space-I hold my XPS 15 9570 and my Asus zenscreen 15.6" (extra usb-c monitor) This is great!-It actually will hold a decent sized tripod-its VERY comfortable.-you can remove the hip strap completely (I may install again if I go on a long hike, but its your option)I will update my review with the new bag.
