I am super picky about everything I buy, specially when it comes to my camera gear. I wanted something not too big, but not too small either. I purchased the 45D, that’s the smaller daypack version. I still find enough room for all the gear I need, without overpacking. There is enough for my 70-200m lens, my speed light, and 2 additional lenses. The bottom compartment is used by my 20-200 lens and some filters, the main compartment is for my camera and one lens, currently a 90mm macro lens. There little pockets for battery or memory card and an area for a laptop. I don’t use the laptop area for my laptop, but it’s perfect for my diffuser. I am not sure about other sizes, but the 45D has side access, which I love because it does fit my mirrorless Sony with the 70-200 attached, if needed.
I was pleasantly surprised about the quality. It’s very well made and the materials used are top notch. The inside of the bag is customizable, which i feel is necessary. Various options to access the pack are also provided. So far I absolutely love it. I do wish the hip belt would be removable, but it’s not. A little pocket on the hip belt would’ve been also a great feature, and I do miss that a little. I am not sure how comfortable it is yet, but will update once I’ll find out. I am a small female and the shoulder straps feel a bit wide, due to all the padding.
Update: after trying 5 different name brand camera backpacks, I decided this one is still the best, after at first returning it, I ended up reordering it. Trust me when I say, I’ve tried them all (well, I’ve tried the best), and this pack definitely is the best so far. I thought the shoulder straps would bother me after a long hike, but they actually didn’t. The pack was very comfortable. I also like that it looks like a high-quality backpack, and not like a pack that carries expensive photo gear.

So far it looks excellent
I am super picky about everything I buy, specially when it comes to my camera gear. I wanted something not too big, but not too small either. I purchased the 45D, that’s the smaller daypack version. I still find enough room for all the gear I need, without overpacking. There is enough for my 70-200m lens, my speed light, and 2 additional lenses. The bottom compartment is used by my 20-200 lens and some filters, the main compartment is for my camera and one lens, currently a 90mm macro lens. There little pockets for battery or memory card and an area for a laptop. I don’t use the laptop area for my laptop, but it’s perfect for my diffuser. I am not sure about other sizes, but the 45D has side access, which I love because it does fit my mirrorless Sony with the 70-200 attached, if needed.I was pleasantly surprised about the quality. It’s very well made and the materials used are top notch. The inside of the bag is customizable, which i feel is necessary. Various options to access the pack are also provided. So far I absolutely love it. I do wish the hip belt would be removable, but it’s not. A little pocket on the hip belt would’ve been also a great feature, and I do miss that a little. I am not sure how comfortable it is yet, but will update once I’ll find out. I am a small female and the shoulder straps feel a bit wide, due to all the padding.Update: after trying 5 different name brand camera backpacks, I decided this one is still the best, after at first returning it, I ended up reordering it. Trust me when I say, I’ve tried them all (well, I’ve tried the best), and this pack definitely is the best so far. I thought the shoulder straps would bother me after a long hike, but they actually didn’t. The pack was very comfortable. I also like that it looks like a high-quality backpack, and not like a pack that carries expensive photo gear.
