[0.75 lb] This Mindshift backpack is the perfect bag if you're looking for the following:
- Top notch quality- this bag has it all, great materials, secure fasteners, waterproofing features, with an impressive build quality.
- Design - after having several other highly recommended bags for my photography business, they were literally confusing to use. With some other bags you literally need a map to find gear that you've tucked away in a side pocket. I recently returned a top of the line bag because of the non-logical, unintuitive way the it was designed. The Mindshift bag has easy to access pockets and storage of your gear. It's light yet sturdy and I find my gear is very safe and secure. It may be a bit pricey for some but you really do get a lot for your money with this 45L bag. If you need a large but not too large bag for travel/hiking/photography and you are looking for straightforward easy to access design, then I highly recommend this product.

[Zoom Gear] The best bag. I got my first one of these bags ~four years ago for my 4x5 camera. It’s incredibly well made and still in great shape. I had a larger bag for my hpx170/xtreme fisheye but it was too large. I found this bag also fit that perfectly. It’s the best bag for an hpx170 set up or view cameras. I love how the waist belt is removable to make the bag more compact. Build quality is excellent and holds up to being outside on the ground a lot.

[0.75 lb] I was looking for a good camera backpack that had decent hydration options. This fits the bill with a bladder pocket and side pockets that can hold water bottles. I was please with the quality of the build. this is a serious backpack made for camera gear and some personal gear. With Stash Master 13L to reduce camera space and allow more personal gear it can serve for several nights on the trail.

[Zoom Gear] Allows me to pack my essential gear (D850+14-24; 24-70; 70-200 f2.8 plus a few accessories (I also purchased the mini ICU to replace the standard one), and have plenty of space overhead for jackets...
It also has an amazing way to attach a tripod (the best in the industry I think) and trekking poles. Super well built and very light with great padding. Perfect for my needs.

[Zoom Gear] The product is well made and works well
I reached out to the company directly for information and they were very responsive and helpful

[Zoom Gear] Lots of options, now to just figure out the best orientation for each piece of gear...

[0.75 lb] There is so much room for my gear. I have a gripped D850 attached to the nikkor 200-500 lens. It still fits my gripped D810 (no lens attached), a flash, 4 other lenses, batter charges, and the rain cover with a little room still spare. It is durably built. The waist belt and the shoulder straps help displace weight, so it is not too onerous to carry of the gear at once (it still weighs 20 lbs or so I can't say it is weightless).
