    Almost Great
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017*

I bought this bag specifically for use with my Fuji mirrorless cameras & to transport lenses, a tripod, filters & extras for longer hikes & all day long outings. Mindshift makes awesome backcountry camera bags & although this one is quite compact it is almost too big for my needs & will fit a camera body, 50-140mm, 90mm, 10-24 & at least 4 more primes. In addition it has a compartment for a tablet & I stuff a thin goretex jacket & midlayer in the front pouch. Build quality & materials are good.A few downsides are...#1- There is no internal water bladder pouch but it is possible to stuff a 2 litre bladder in the side of the stretchy pouch.#2 To access the camera compartment you have to place the bag with the shoulder strap side down on the ground which is problematic in wet, muddy or sandy conditions as it will soak or get your back & shoulders dirty when you put the pack back on.#3- The compression straps don't have quick disconnect clips on them so if your trying to stuff a tripod or water bladder in the side pouches when the bag is full it's a bit challenging. Mostly an issue when your trying to photograph multiple locations quickly while hiking or in cold wet conditions. I will have to cut them & add the clips myself.#4- the camera compartment is too tall for a bag geared for mirrorless camera setups. The lenses & camera's move around too much inside. Even a 5d with battery grip fits in with extra room. Much taller than any other camera bag I've seen or used. I would rather have a thinner profile bag or use the extra room in the back zippered storage area for more items or a hydro pouch behind the padding that's close to your back.#5- This is the biggest issue with this pack. With a tripod, camera/camera's, lenses, filters, water, hiking poles, lunch & some clothing the pack gets quite heavy & the pack doesn't have a padded hip belt. It's just a thin piece of webbing which cuts into you on long uphill climbs or bush whacking. It's fine for quick trips to the sea side or a short walk but when loaded up on a trek unusable in my opinion. I was lucky enough to have a removable hip pad from an Arcteryx pack that will attach to this webbing which makes a world of difference. This is strange as all my other camera bags (even smaller ones) have a padded belt.

    Great EDC or travel bag for a photographer.
  

*by T***W on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017*

I am a working photographer who spends a lot of time overseas for clients. I was looking for a backpack to carry a 5D mkIV, a couple of primes, a small laptop and an iPad. (5d mk IV x2, 24mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4 and either 85 f1.4 or 135 f2, 13" Macbook pro 2016, iPad Pro 9.7, batteries, cables, chargers, etc.)  This is the bag I ended up finding and I really like it. It is comfortable, versatile, and easy to convert from an every day carry bag to my long-flight carryon, to my secondary bag while on location shooting in remote spots. I like that it is made by the same people who make the ThinkTank bags which means that it is a well thought out platform for photographers and not just the same ol' backpack with a few dividers thrown in it.I like that it also comes with a rain cover that is not permanently attached to the bag so you can keep it with you if you might need it, or leave it behind if you don't. I have had the zipper jam a couple of times on the inserts, so it is a good idea to push them down as far as you can to avoid them catching the zippers, but other than that, it's a really solid bag that in the short time I've had it has been to UAE, Germany and Afghanistan and still looks like new.

    Roomy & Comfortable
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019*

I needed a camera bag that can hold two camera bodies, one (Nikon D810) with a telephoto attached and the other (Nikon Z6) with a wide-angle lens.  This backpack fit the bill perfectly.  It has handy pockets for spare batteries, notebooks, filters, and all the other stuff you tend to drag along on a shoot.  It’s also pretty comfortable, even with two cameras and a large tripod loaded.  I’ve been using it for a couple of months, and it shows no real signs of wear, and I haven’t had any equipment damaged even though the bag has been banged around a bit.  There is simply nothing that I don’t like about this bag.  Recommended.
