Camera carry first, everything else last

This backpack is wonderful for its main raison d'être: carrying a camera in a bookbag. My Panasonic GX8 stays happily tucked into the bottom section under the configurable gray divider. What this backpack doesn't so well is carry much else than my 14 inch laptop, some pencils and pens carefully arranged in the interior side pockets, and I had to buy a new A5 size notebook for my math class so I could make it fit in there. I plan to try this bookbag out for a photo hike, so I think I'll be able to swap out the laptop and accoutrement for some cheese, jam, a very small charcuterie board, and maybe a small bottle of sparkling water. Just don't expect this bag to fit everything, all the time. It's just as picky as I (you?) are.
I saw a friend who had this and I immediately went and bought my own (40L). Everything about it is smart: there is access to all compartments from each side and the top. There is a separate, padded area for laptop/ipad and enough pockets to compartmentalize cords, equipment etc. I had been looking for the right backpack for me for years... and I found it.
The material is strong and durable zippers are sound.This pack is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.i regret buying the smaller size. Next purchase will be the bigger one!
The instant I put this on my back I was hooked. This bag is awesome and I can't wait to get the larger size. I got the 15L. I'm also excited to get the Travel Bag in 30L. Great materials. It is a little stiff compared to other bags so it takes some getting used to, but that doesn't impact the feel of it on your back as much as I thought it would.
This bag is amazing - low profile, easily adjustable - but the real selling point for me was the sturdiness of the flex fold dividers. My stuff stays in place, and feels really secure. Couldn't be happier.
I have been looking for an ideal briefcase backpack for years and I may have finally found it. It is the 15L Backpack Zip. I have taken out all of the dividers and use it for my 14inch MacBook Pro, iPad 11 Pro and my active files. The access, handles and backpack straps make it ideal. Finally.
Love the design of this backpack and the quality is also higher than most. I have owned a lot of backpacks for camera and drones and this one is my favorite so far. Looks great, technology is great, zippers, pockets and magnets are very well thought.
Product aside, I love the fact the company is a B Corp, gives back, and is carbon neutral.
The only thing I would improve on this backpack is to make the back a little more breathable.
