I got this bag to be able to bring all my gear including my laptop on extended trips. All my gear fits perfectly but I dread the day I need to bring a 2nd body with me. It manages to fit in the overhead bin of international flights and surprisingly, it doesn\'t feel as heavy on the back as compared to carrying it with just the handle on top. Only tried shooting out of the bag once and it was a hassle having to put it down whenever I needed to change lens or get something out of the bag.

What works

Decent protection, plenty of dividers and pockets

Room for improvement

Waist strap could have been padded

This is perfect bag for me to mainly organized all my gear in one place, and grab it in case of my house is on fire. I carry this whole bag only when I travel extensively, where there's place to store safely. Otherwise I use my Lowepro offroad for short trips.

What works

Right size and Well Organize

Room for improvement

It can get heavy at times. The attach strings are useless

Excellent bag for size. It fits more stuff than you can imagine. Well padded, fits 17" MacBook PRO, good rain protection, fits carry on overhead compartments even on 737.

What works

higher capacity than expected, large front compartment, large laptop compartment, lots of optional attach points

Room for improvement

small outer front compartment opening, single large compartment vs. multiple smaller ones, somewhat uncomfortable hen fully loaded, uncomfortable top handle, horrible tripod mounting system (true of all LowePros it seems)

In the bag

Nikon D2Xs and Nikon D70 Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikon 50mm f/1.8D Nikon 1.7x TC (TC-17IIE) Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Spare D2Xs battery, MC-36 and D70 remotes Sekonik Light Meter, MacBook PRO 15", Power Brick, Sandisk FW800 Reader, Rocket Blower.

Great bag when you need to carry EVERYTHING. I got this bag to carry for trips, although I now plan to pick up a Domke F2. I also have a LowePro Off Road which I love, but I can only carry one body. This bag is a great alternative to a shoulder type bag, and I also took off the LowePro badge from the bag so it wouldn't get noticed as much. It's a very light bag with a minimal kit, but then I wouldn't really use this bag to carry a body & couple lenses.

What works

Good size, light weight, rain cover built in, NICE padding, Holds all of my kit for now :) doesn't scream camera bag, decent price. Perfect camera backpack, but see dislikes...

Room for improvement

Bag tips over forward EASILY when loaded due to rain cover in bottom, if the pouches are stuffed then they bulge into the padded compartment & also bulge into the front pocket which means you loose space for other stuff. If you plan to hike with this bag, you can't really put other stuff in it due the "bulge" problem from the zip pockets. I guess if you don't need it, don't bring it. Would like to have lenses on each body. If i were going to hike, I would carry my LowePro Off Road waist pack, as this backpack leaves you deciding if you want to carr
