I'm a newspaper photojournalist who travels a lot for both photo and video and have long searched for a bag this robust and versatile. I'm in love with the 30L Everyday Backpack V2.
It holds everything I need for many of my assignments: 2 mirrorless cameras w/ pro zoom lenses, wireless lav mics, extra batteries, flash, laptop, a small travel tripod (can't wait to try the PD tripod), snacks and a water bottle, along with the awesome tech pouch for all my cables, etc. I've even managed to cram a dismantled FS5 in there with most of that stuff as well. Of course, it gets heavy with all that in it and I'm realizing I should spring for the waist belt.
I can carry it on a plane and it fits easily in the overheads of small, regional planes or under the seat when needed. I usually pack any extras (tripods, light stands, reflector, battery chargers, etc.) into my suitcase with my clothes and check that.
The fact that it's weatherproof and as well-padded as it is gives me peace of mind that my gear will stay safe, and I love that so much thought was put into each element of the design. The lifetime guarantee is just icing on the cake. I expect I'll be using this for many years to come.

Great, High Quality Backpack

This backpack is great all around. There's a huge amount of storage space, the materials and build are sturdy and high quality. I'm not a big photographer, just a small camera, but it's nice to have the added customization inside to fit my belongings however I want. I was on the fence for a while, waiting until my backpack of 7 years finally died, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I love this backpack. I got the 20L one and it's the perfect size for my needs. It's not too big, but packs all my gear. It looks amazing as well.

I bought the 20L to carry camera gear plus lunches and water bottles for the family. It is perfect so far. Everything is solidly made. The design is very clever and maximizes the space.

Truly a Fantastic Backpack
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
I kind of want two of these. I purchased mine to be a photography bag that fits all the gear I'd want to take out at once on any trip.
I can comfortably fit my Fujifilm X-T3 + 4 lenses, along with a tech pouch in the top. Took some trial and error to arrange into a configuration that works for me, but the dividers that come with the bag are the best I've ever dealt with, very versatile.
The materials are fantastic. Went on a short hike this past weekend and got caught in the rain, and everything inside was protected. Some mud/dirt got onto the outer shell, but was very easy to get off with a small amount of water and a cloth.
Overall I'm just extremely happy with this thing, looking forward to using it on future trips when things begin to open back up.

I usually don't do this, but...

Ok, just start off. I never review stuff unless its beyond crappy or beyond amazing. I've had the Everyday Backpack (30L) for a few months now without any ups or downs, until last night. I bike to and from work once a week and as luck would have it, got caught in a torrential downpour. I carry my Mac and iPad in the bag and was sweating bullets (or maybe it was rain, idk) thinking about how ruined they were. The whole outside of the backpack was completed soaked, but the inside was completely bone dry. Buy this bag, your wallet will thank you later.
