Finally found what I was looking for

This is my third camera-style backpack and this one checks all the boxes. I just traveled with it for the first time, to shoot a wedding (both photo and video), and it was a dream to take on the plane.
• I wanted something that could fit all my gear when I have fly dates ✅
• I wanted it to fit underneath the airplane seat ✅
• I wanted it to fit on my carry-on roller bag easily ✅
• I needed it to fit a 16" MacBook Pro ✅
• I wanted something that could fit all my gear when I have fly dates ✅
• I wanted it to fit underneath the airplane seat ✅
• I wanted it to fit on my carry-on roller bag easily ✅
• I needed it to fit a 16" MacBook Pro ✅
Here is all the gear I fit in the 30L travel backpack: medium camera cube, small camera cube, Sony a7IV, Sony FX3 w/ top handle, Sony - 16-35, 50 1.2, 24-105, 70-200 GMII, filters, batteries, rode wireless + camera mic, lens caps, straps, 16" MacBook Pro + charger, and one bag on M&M's.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bag is a little expensive but very high quality. There's a ton of built in organization. My wife and I just took it on a 3 week trip. We used it as our tech bag. Was able to fit two 14 inch laptops in the computer compartment. We also put in other stuff we didn't want to check, like baby monitor and camera. Tons of space. Fits perfect under the seat of a plane. Really like that you can hide the straps. Handles to grab from any direction. I look forward to using this bag for many years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rugged and versatile travel backpack

I've had the backpack about 6 months and have made several trips with it. Love how it's durable and waterproof. I got the optional waist strap which helps transfer the weight to the hips. I like the expansion feature and clamshell opening design. You have to get some kind of interior organizers since it's one big compartment. Holds tons, especially with the expansion zipper opened. Fits nicely under airplane seats. Only slight minus for me is would like the shoulder straps to have a bit more padding. But it's full of great features and lots of ways to grab or hook it onto the handle of a roller bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product but ...

I've bought this product for every day photography works because the everyday 20L V1/V2 too small, but the camera cube are too big and you need to expand the bag to use them. And 2 camera cube are not easy to use, too big.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Streamline Travel

I bought this travel pack on the recommendation of a friend who did a lot of research. She was right! The pack can hold much, but is small enough to fit under an airplane seat. Because it’s a backpack, running through airports is possible, but it opens up like a suitcase so I’m not digging to the bottom for that one item I need. It’s great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fits a lot and good internal design

I got this for an upcoming trip as one that can fit in the seat in front of me for flights, and as a smaller one to my f-stop gear 40L backpack. The backpack does fit a lot and has a nice design. The side pockets are a bit small for fitting my travel tripod, and the back magnets are quite weak, if they were a bit stronger, it could be a bit more useful pocket for some light things. Quite comfortable with a lot of gear.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice pack but too few access points
on August 1, 2022

Overall its a nice pack. Smaller than I anticipated and with only one access point to the main compartment. I expected more as the 40 litre pack has. Overall no practical for me gave it away after one trip due lack functionality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for one-bagging

I recently purchased this before a week long trip to Florida. I wanted to be able to fit everything in just one backpack that could work as my personal item on a flight. I was able to fit 7 shirts, 7 underwear, 5 socks, 1 jeans, 2 shorts, a pair of shoes, and my laptop and other misc items. Everything fit easily while keeping a very small footprint overall.
