I'll just rate the backpack with a pro & con list. Pros: + Appearance: Looks like a regular backpack that could be worn by anyone, including non-photographers. Now, as a photographer, I prefer to be inconspicuous. The whole thing is of course superfluous as soon as the tripod is attached to it :). Nevertheless, I have been asked a few times by other photographers where I got this backpack from, as they found it nicer than comparable models. + Design/section: The backpack is divided like most other photo backpacks. The elements hold stable in the backpack. I find the large number of pockets particularly useful, both in the main room, since you can stow batteries and filters there, as well as on the outside to stow bottles, SD cards, etc. + Size: Very compact. The backpack looks rather small on me (1.87 m, 90 kg). However, this makes it extremely suitable for system cameras, which makes it perfect for me, as I simply don't need more space (MFT body + 4 lenses + full-size flash). I wouldn't recommend it for anything beyond APS-C though, as the lenses just get too big. + Closure of the upper compartment: At first I thought that you would have to undo the buckle every time to open the upper compartment. Then I discovered that this was solved with a fairly strong magnet. It's fast, reliable and looks good. + Carrying comfort: with my size, I find the backpack easy to carry. Certainly not a miracle of comfort, but that's what I have my hiking backpack for. However, the base plate is a bit annoying when the strap is quite tight. A little loosening fixes this. + Rain cape neutral: o some of the threads came loose at the seams after unpacking. After cutting it off and using it a few times, everything is fine. contra: - I don't notice anything negative at the moment.
