Perfect Backpack

I immediately fell in love with the design just by looking at it but seeing it in person it's even better. I house my Slr Dslr and my point and shoot plus an additional lens(keep in mind each of my cameras already has a lens attached) and two tripods my iPad plus all my cables memory cards USB adapters ext. (I carry a lot) but everything fits perfectly and the pack still looks nice and sleek

Love the look, love the bag overall, but has some small problems (room for improvement)

Just like the title. Gonna talk more about the room for improvement as these might be the deal breakers for people. 1. Smaller items in the upper section in the main compartment may fall to the lower section because the origami shaped dividers can't seal each section. The small zipped pocket in the main compartment is just not large enough. 2. When I carry my Nikon Z6 with Z 24-200, plus a 50mm 1.8 prime, and my laptop, my shoulders hurt. I bought the waist strap later and put them on. Effective to some extent, but then the part of my spine right above my butt hurts because of all the weight. In conclusion, harness system could be much improved. 3. No back opening. When I want to switch lens when arriving at my photo spot (I do mostly landscape), It's hard to change lens since there's no back opening where I could just lay the bag on the ground, open the back panel up and grab lenses. Almost dropped my lens once when I opened the side and try to switch the lens. 4. On one international flight, I placed the bag under the seat in front of me. When I get the bag out, the top part of the bag had a huge dip into the bag because of how the airline seat is shaped. It has been about a year and it never recovered to its original shape.
I would say the harness system is the most serious issue. Then the "small items falling down to the lower compartment" and "no back opening" are the second.
Otherwise, I like it. It's a beautiful bag that you would want to bring outside.
The padding on the bottom of the pack is rather thin. I ordered another flex divider to put some additional layer on the bottom of the pack for protection of the equipment. The bag fits a MacBook Pro 13” nicely. The next generation of the MacBook Pro is rumored to be 14” and should be a tight fit (if it does fit). Not a negative, but something to keep in mind.
Absolutely love love love the design, feel and look of this bag. Unfortunately the claim that it fits an iPad 13in must be treated with caution. Yes it does fit the new M1 2021 12.9in, HOWEVER, it is an almost impossible task to get it in or out whilst the iPad is in a cover/case. Specifically the Magic Keyboard. This is disappointing, as the measurement specs provided say that it should.
New smaller 15L size is perfect and I prefer the not having the metal clasp like the previous everyday back pack , it would scratch whatever I leaned my bag against
