Style Camera Backpack

[Green] I have purchased many camera bags including shoulder bags, backpack style and sling packs. I have been using film cameras with a couple of extra lenses and a light meter. I needed to quickly access my bag often during a walk around trip. I had problems with all other types except for this Think Tank Retrospective 10. I often go out with a different camera and lens combinations and this bag easily accommodates this change. Just large enough with room to spare but not overly large. Many have commented on how nice the bag looks. I don't write reviews but for this bag I felt like I needed to.

[Yes] I’ve gone through all sorts I’ll camera bags, from basic backpack style to sling backs and totes. This one has it all: easy access front compartment, laptop sleeve, and even what I call a bonus compartment that easily accommodates my bag lunch. All of this and it’s got a low profile so it’s not sticking out like a rucksack. I was lucky enough to get it on sale for $50 off so I paid for a LowePro bag at an off-brand price. And it looks great!

[Zipper] This is my second backpack from them only because I love the new style. Its the most durable pack that I've had. I use it to commute into Manhattan everyday so it gets tossed around a lot. It's also the perfect size, not bulky but has a lot of pockets to keeps my things organized.

[Arca-Type] I use a flight vest style backpack harness with very wide straps, and this carrier fits perfectly due to the adjustable Velcro sizer. Way more versatile than the similar Peak Design product. I also appreciate the two built in safeties, one tethering the carrier to the backpack in addition to the Velcro, and the other tethering the camera to the carrier in addition to the hub.

[2.895 lb] This is the perfect bag for everyday running and gunning. It's much more practical than a backpack style bag and the zippered top is an excellent feature. Most of my shooting is family events and I usually use just 2-3 lenses so I have plenty of extra room for the battery charger, card reader, external drive and even a snack or 2. The bag is very well made and I can see this lasting me many, many years.

[Gray] The Thule Lithos has truly exceeded all my expectations in terms of quality and style. As a proud owner of my third Thule backpack, I can confidently say that this investment has been well worth it.

[0.635 lb] I used these for corporate-style portraits the very same weekend that I received them in the mail. Pulling everything out of the surprisingly very nice backpack and assembling was very simple and quick. I really can’t emphasize how nice it is that two lights, two 45° metal reflectors, cables, and two 26” Rapid Box Octa-S (I bought a second hoping it could fit in the backpack) can all fit into one backpack.

I have had this backpack for almost a year and have brought it on trips to Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, and all over the US so far. The backpack has held up great through visits to the beach, walks in the drizzle, bumpy bus rides, long walks around cities and everything in between. I love the safe computer case for bringing my laptop with me and the hip and shoulder straps make it easy to adjust the carrying style to the weight and length of the walk. Before buying I had read some concerns about the zipper durability but have experienced no issues on this front, and the main zippers still glide as smooth as they did when brand new. I did lose the two very handy external carry-straps at the airport, and wish there was a more secure way to hold these to the bag, but it was easy to replace them through the PeakDesign website. Sometimes the location of the main opening vs the front pouch can make it a little awkward to access items without flipping the bag over, but I believe this would happen with any suitcase style opening backpack. Size-wise, the backpack is excellent. I have more than enough space inside for what I need, and plenty of options to ties onto the outside if needed (fishing rod, ukelele, jackets, wet clothes, dirty soccer cleats, etc.). All in all, very happy with the backpack. I recommend it to each of my friends looking for a single travel bag
