I swithered between this and the other similar Beschoi camera bag. This one is slightly bigger and the front opens up all the way down as well as opening top and bottom like the other bag. The opening all the way up was part of the appeal for me, as well as having a little extra space for non-camera stuff like a top or food or whatever.

The bag looks great. It's big and roomy but not huge and stupid looking on your back (I hope!). I have added a photo of all the gear I put in it. I wouldn't need this all the time but I do have a very small bag if I want to just take my camera and an extra lens. Anyway, it fits in no problem and there is spare room too - ideal.

The front opening all the way is, in my opinion a great option and offers more flexibility however, there is a very slight drawback to it... Some of the dividers inside are stuck to the inside of the front, so when you open it all the way up these need to then be stuck on again. I hadn't thought of that but to be honest, I don't think I'll do that much anyway, it's just nice having that option.

I have a Nikon D3500 so not the biggest camera but I can put it in the side with my 70-300mm lens attached no problem. This lens can also go straight in the bottom as shown in pics. In the top section I have a couple of pouches of filters and my pixie evo with more than enough space.

There are lots of well thought out pouches and zipped pockets for all little bit of kit, a rain hood, and a tripod holder. The drop out pouch for the base of the tripod does hold 2 legs of mine but it's tight. Another few mm would have been ideal but I does fit and the 2 straps hold it securely. When I use this though, I can't put a water bottle in the net pocket at the side. Not a bit deal for me.

Overall I'm pleased with the bag, though have only just got it. It feels comfortable on my back and while the tripod on the side does make it very slightly off balance, it is only slight and I'm sure after 5 min walking I won't notice it. I'll update if I notice anything else over time.
