Great Backpack ... and I should know! By CameraCarl from Minnesota on 07/27/2008 Pros: Big for pro cameras, Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Hauling lots of gear Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I own four camera backpacks and even more shoulder bags. This is one of the best backpacks I have seen/used. It is big enough for my rather extensive camera system and also big enough for me (I'm 6'1").
By David, a Tucsonan Photographer from Tucson, AZ on 07/07/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Cons: Bulky, Hard to Setup Best Uses: Airline Travel, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Professional Guide What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The pack has an incredible amount of compartments and many options to personalize your way of carrying gear. My only complaints are that it takes a while to hide straps and getting the adjustments right, and that it doesn't has a place for a hydration pouch, which I use extensively. It has a place for two bottles but they get hot very quickly. My gear is well protected though...

I'd say twice the size I thought it was... It will be going back...
This is a HUGE pack with wasted space By Eric from Denver, CO on 06/19/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I used this pack for a digital camera and about 8 lenses. I had plenty of room for all that equipment, plus a few extra spaces for flashes and remotes...but what bugged me is that I was carrying around a lot of air, making the entire pack much to bulky for what I was carrying. The depth of the camera compartment is just too deep for most lenses...and even for long lenses that you would lay on their side instead of going in head first. Overall, a very well built pack, but just not the right proportions for camera equipment, even with movable dividers.
If you want to go hiking with a Medium format system, this might be a great choice, because it carries weight REALLY comfortably.

By Webby from Twin Falls, ID on 04/19/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: anyime you hit the trail Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This pack is great. It has all the necessary things to allow convenience and ease of use. One thing many people don't like about it is the way the pack unzips from the back to get into the main compartments. I really like this. It keeps your back panel clean and you can swing it around easy enough to fold down the pack and get into your camera and lens compartments.
One thing, this pack is very big. I was a little shocked at first when I opened the package. However, this is kindof what I was looking for anyway. I normally pack 3 camera bodys. 2 digital and one large format film. along with 5 or six lenses, including a monster 500mm canon L. And it amazingly holds it all and carries it in comfort. Highly recommended to anybody looking for a camera pack you can carry everything including your snacks, lunch and dinner.

Its protected well and balanced on your back. The rain cover gives you peace of mind when really getting after the light, in all conditions.
