Perfectly good backpack, easily holds a small dSLR outfit
This review is for the Style 6 option.This is a small backpack roughly 14” x 10.5” x 6” (external). It has a carrying handle at the top, comfortable padded shoulder straps with a good range of adjustment and a belly strap with small padded wings. The size of the bag means that the belly strap actually comes right across the middle of my chest. I have a selection of camera bags and the only one I use the belly strap on is my Lowepro Vertex 200 AW because it fits across my hips and actually helps support the weight. On all my other backpacks I find that strap a bit of a nuisance and too high up – but that’s just me.The sides of the bag hold two small flat zipped pockets roughly 5” x 3.5”. A handy size for lens brushes, cleaning cloths, or maybe filters. One side has three non-stretchy fabric loops. I haven’t figured out a use for these yet. There are two adjustable straps on the opposite side which look as if they are designed to secure a tripod, but the product image shows a mesh pocket to stop the tripod from slipping – this is not present on my bag. I haven’t actually tried it with a tripod because both my tripods are a bit too big and heavy for this bag so it would be an unfair test. Still I like the bottom of any tripod to be prevented from slipping out of its securing straps by a pouch of some sort and it isn’t present on this bag.The back of the bag has a flat zipped pocket big enough to hold a small notebook. My iPad 1 is a little too big to fit past the zipped opening. Underneath this is another flat pocket. This one is the full size of the cover and zips open, with two zips, up to halfway down the sides. It contains a waterproof cover for the case – held in a small bag attached with an elastic strap. One side of the space has a large, open mesh pocket. The other side has several pockets. The largest of which fits my iPad easily and has an elastic & Velcro strap closure. There are also pen/stylus pockets and a small space that would fit a paper notebook. The reverse of the flap, where it sits against the camera equipment, also has an iPad sized pocket closed with a Velcro strap.The interior of the bag has five compartments separated by nicely padded dividers. All of the dividers are removable and the Velcro strips attach to any part of the sides or the other dividers so there are no restrictions on re-arranging the space inside. I can get my full frame Canon 6D in with a 100mm macro lens attached, though the pentaprism housing is a little higher than the sides of the bag, but it closes ok. There’s also space for a canon 70-200 f4.0 L zoom, a flashgun, and maybe another small lens and other accessories – so despite its small size I can get everything I need into it, and that’s all I need in a bag. These large items do distort the dividers, and it clearly wasn’t designed for items this big, but it will take it, so there would be no problem fitting in a smaller dSLR and several lenses. I don’t make a habit of dropping camera gear, but it can happen. I have bags that can absorb the shock of a short drop. I don’t think the external padding on this is that thick, but I think, for the price, this is an ok bag that will comfortably fit a small outfit.This product was supplied to me for review purposes.
