Q: 4. I am 5'4 and weight 105 lbs... Will this bag look ridiculously huge on me?!

Q: 5. Would it fit 200-500 Nikon?

Q: 6. Is the waist belt removable?

A: No it is not removable, however it has a dedicated slot into which you can neatly tuck the waist belt and get it completely out of the way when not in use. I didn't know this at first and used an elastic band to hold the waist belt together, the bulkiness of the belt was very awkward and did not allow for a comfortable carry. All of this was corrected when i discovered the waist belt dedicated slot. the bag now carries nicely.

Q: 7. Where is the laptop compartment and does the zipper open at the top or side?

A: If you are wearing the backpack, the laptop compartment is the closest compartment to your back. As noted in another response, the shoulder straps attach to the top of the laptop compartment, and the zipper is to the right side if you are wearing the backpack. The laptop compartment opens to the side and the zipper starts at the top and pulls downward to open the compartment. Most compartments have two zipper pulls for access, but the laptop compartment does not. More than asked: I have fully loaded the backpack with 2 bodies with 70-200 & 24-105 lenses attached, and all the other glass I could fit in plus gadgets, plus a Dell Precision (not light) laptop. The backpack had to have weighed 40-50 lbs very heavy load on your back, but the backpack did not wince I may have a couple times . . .. Because of the weight when fully loaded, I sometimes choose to carry the laptop separately. When I bought, some reviews complained about the weight when fully loaded, but they did not add stars for the amount of equipment this thing will carry. It is designed to be the maximum carry-on size for a plane and barely fit into the overhead bin, not under a seat. You might even need to pull the laptop to get it in the overhead if you put as much in the backpack as I did. If travelling by car, it is really nice to use this as the primary storage container to leave in the trunk & just pull what is needed at the time into a smaller bag. The Ruggard product is extremely well made. If tanks were made of cloth, this would be a prime example. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Q: 8. This is a silly question but where is the security whistle located?

A: The security whistle is normally attached to the outer portion of the shoulder straps.

Q: 9. Can this be used as a carryon on flights? From looking at the pictures it looks bulky.

A: Yes, this bag can be carried-on on flights. The FAA regulations dictate that the bag cannot exceed 45 linear inches (measurement of height, width and depth added together). This bag measures at 38.85 linear inches. In general it is always advisable to check with the airline and airports you may be traveling through about the measurements as sometimes local rules are contrary to our own here in the USA.

Q: 10. Would this accommodate a D500 attached to a 200-500, PLUS a D750 attached to either a 24-70, or 16-35 at same time?

A: No, you'll need to detach at least one of those two lenses.
