Fine as a regular (though overpriced backpack), but terrible as a camera bag. The biggest issue with this bag is the quality (really low) of the dividers. They're weak, they collapse at the edges, your gear WILL crash together. The origami dividers just do not work. If you try to fold them up and place a relatively large lens on an end, what will happen is the large lens will fall through the floor the level below it, and then the camera next to it will push to the edge and it might crash down, too. Then you have expensive camera gear just clanking in to each other.
I would imagine the dividers would work kind of ok with lighter gear, like maybe m4/3 gear. That said, don't put a small lens near an edge, because there will be a gap that it will STILL fall through. I think they're paying influencers, because the fact that these bags get any praise just doesn't make any sense to me. Worst camera bag I've ever owned. Worse than cheapo freebies you'll get bundled with cameras from time to time. Steer clear of these bags.
Having this bag close to a year now, I have no regrets! Great in functionality and practicality, customization, build quality and looks. Everyone should get one!
While sometimes I wish that I could have the 30 litre, the 20 litre version is suffice for my needs.
I have been using this bag foor a couple weeks now and am very satisfied with the product. I am a family doctor and use this bag for my home visits for which it is absolutely perfect! The backpack is spatious, sturdy but not to heavy and clearly of high quality. The dividers are extremely convenient since I have some tools that are different sizes and shapes, which would normally be difficult to keep organized. I will recommend this bag to all my colleagues!
Got V2 as a warranty replacement for the V1. V1 looks more fancy, more fancy elements, more leather, etc, but V2 is just much more practical: laptop compartment, internal side pockets, etc. Few changes I did not like comparing to V1: 1. attachment loops are not tethered to the pack and have plastic instead of metal buckets, 2. Shoulder straps have additional “wrapped” padding, which is probably much greater from the durability perspective, but makes the pack to look much cheaper, 3. No integrated hip belt (not like you need it for a 20L every day, but was nice to have while biking).
I held on to the V1 backpack for as long as I could because I loved it so much, and when it came time to replace, I was a little sad that the only option was the V2 bag (this one). Whatever qualms I had about the V2 disappeared within two uses of the bag, and I absolutely LOVE this thing now. Beautiful, sturdy, efficient.
I bought this bag for travel and hiking with my camera gear. I'm still trying to dial in the organization but, so far it has worked great for flights. I wish the flaps of the side openings were more flexible so they stay open on their own. Maybe if the zipper was extended?
