Waterproof Camera Backpack,Alpha backpack 25L,Single and Double Shoulder Free Switch Photography Bag, 15.6 Inch Laptop Compartment Tripod Holder for DSLR/SLR With Raincover - Backpack 25L Star Wander 01(Gray)
SKU: KF13.105
The materials are sturdy and just by touching you can feel the quality.
I managed to put massive Tamrons 15-30 and 70-200 G2 and Sigma 150-600 and there was still space for Nikkor 85 in the main compartment. The upper part seems just perfect for Nikon Z6ii with 24-70 f4 on. Side pockets still able to contain a few filters and the upper compartment seems to have some extra space.
Zippers are very smooth and the rain cover is a great extra thing.
What made me quite surprised that when I fully loaded the bag and tried to put it on, the upper-right buckle just unlocked itself and the bag fell down (and one of chest strap hole was torn)! That was a great stress-test to check the durability of the frame (none of lenses broke!) but the buckle thing still makes me feel uneasy. I have no idea why the buckle button releases the lock. The way I put the bag on is not strange or unusual, to be honest. Actually, it unlocked few more times but I was ready - I put the bag on while seated on a couch so the bag just fell on a soft surface.
As I kept on testing the fully loaded bag, the buckle seemed to keep in place. Jumping, walking, fast walking, sudden pulling the handle - in all of the situations it remained locked.
My best guess is the load weight. Although I found no max load specs, I suspect that the gear is just too heavy (8,5 kg to be precise) which is a bummer because all the lenses which are packed, they are needed for my photo trips. Either way, tripod will be carried in a separate bag. I just hope that umbrella and/or water bottle can still fit.

This bag is perfect for my use and is full of thoughtful little things. What I particularly like. - 2 carrying modes, with a classic backpack or with a strap to turn it in the prone position and thus have access to the equipment without having to remove the bag - 2 compartments (a photo and a figure on the top) - numerous pockets and accessory compartments - an area at the back that can accommodate a laptop up to 15 people, a tablet, papers, etc... - an easily removable shoulder strap system - a loop at the back to attach it to the unfolded handle of a suitcase - two handles to carry it in your hand either from above or from the side - adjustable and removable straps that can be attached to different places. For example, you can attach a tripod either on the side or bottom or a rolled up sleeping bag - side pockets for the tripod or a bottle or other - the top part for personal items or accessories with adjustable size - possibility to sacrifice the top part, to increase the capacity of the photo zone and thus carry a large TV in a bag. - waterproof zippers and an additional rain cover included that can be attached to the bag in heavy rain - a very robust fabric that seems easy to care for. - small clips on the clasps to reduce the risk of theft - it stands upright when placed on the floor - removable compartments that can be adjusted as desired to organize the inside of the photo section, I would have liked - more compartment blocks in different sizes for more design freedom. - An external wallet- and/or smartphone-sized pocket to store these two everyday items with quick access. Contrary to what I read and saw, the attachment system for the small straps is very easy to use. It's not a hiking bag, but more of an urban backpack with the right capacity and very well thought out. In a YouTube video, Sebastien Pouteau gives a very complete overview.

bought the backpack for the holidays. Didn't want to carry the big/heavy camera backpack. Unfortunately the size doesn't quite fit my Nikon D4. But for a short time during the holidays it's okay. The backpack also fits normal DSLRs like the Nikon D7200 perfectly. It also has space for 2 additional lenses up to size 70-200

The backpack is a real space miracle for its size. My Nikon D300 including Tamron 17-50 mm f2.8 + Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 + Tamron 90mm f2.8 and a Nikkor 35mm f1.8 fit easily. and there is still room for a water bottle (e.g. O²) and the additional laptop compartment is also great. a 13" fits in easily. unfortunately without a fabric cover. but good.

Birthday child was happy. The bag made a high-quality impression! Beautiful design and high quality, if you can say that as a layman.

real surprise! I use a lot of backpacks, some from such well-known brands as Lowepro, and this one is hands down fantastic! Very spacious (I have a Canon 80d with a 24, a 35, a 50, a 17-85, a 85 and a 70-210, two Cobra flashes and two Cactus v5 transmitters and lots of space installed!! Luxurious zippers and the fabric looks classy. In love with this brand now!!

Came from France so it took a while to arrive. But the wait was worth it. Excellent bag. I took all my camera equipment plus 2 iPads. Very pleased.
