I tried 4 other camera bags on Amazon and unfortunately they all had one major issue for me - I could not fit my gear anymore. It seemed that most newer bags expect to put the tripod on the outside to save space on the inside. All new bags seemed so follow this new trend of being slim which I did not want. I needed space to hold a lot of gear, yet still remain large enough to fit under an airplane seat. Not many bags do that now - they all want to go small and light.
Eventually I came across the Lowepro 500 AW II. It was more expensive but at this point I had no other options. When I got it, this bag did exactly what I needed! Plenty of space for 3 sections of gear+tripod! Materials felt pretty good and durable. Had plenty of extra dividers I didn't really need but it's a bonus. And I actually tried fitting it under the airplane seat and it works!!!
If I had to say what the negative/inconveniences were for me:
1. The camera section opens from the back instead of the front.
2. Not as much space to hold small accessories in the front zipper compartment or the inside/laptop compartment area. But they do give you a separate pouch which you can put your accessories inside there and it's velcroed. You'll be able to attach it somewhere inside the camera compartments.
These are just minor inconveniences specific to me though so it may not apply to you.
But this bag checks all the important boxes I need in a good quality durable camera bag so it's perfectly fine!

Sony a7S iii, Sigma 24-70mm f2.8, rode videomic ntg, atomos ninja v, handles, batteries, etc etc. The next bag up would have been what I needed to haul both around. But make no mistake, this bag does make an excellent grab and go and I'm fairly certain if I didn't try to pack my entire a cam setup that I could at least have what I needed for a small day shoot in there! So ultimately knowing what I know now, I would have simply purchased the next large bag as this one I would class as a medium/small bag ie it's on the smaller side of medium bags! Definitely recommend the brand and even this bag if you fit the description of my b rig or less. Well worth the money and I will be purchasing the larger bag with confidence based on this bag!! Hope that helps a few of you because I know I spent an incredible amount of time trying to find a good bag that was actually worth the price!

All of the lenses except the Sigma are stood on their ends and the backpack just manages to close. I wouldn't try to stand up any lens longer than the 100mm macro.
The main reason I purchased this backpack is because I was planning a trip to Europe and I wanted to be able to do both types of photography I enjoy most (landscapes and birds) without a huge hassle every time I needed to change a lens. This backpack fit the bill perfectly. For this trip, I left the 50mm and the macro at home to save weight and allow me to pack binoculars in the backpack also. When we left on a walk, I would put on the backpack, buckle the waist strap, and go. The pack never touched the ground until we got back. It was just so easy to swing the pack around, open it up, and switch a lens right there at waist level.
One thing to keep in mind is that you may want to practice this opening procedure at home first. I practiced over a bed first, so that if anything went wrong, things would fall on the bed rather than the floor. And the first time I did, things almost did fall out. But it was an easy fix. The backpack was so heavily loaded, that once the zipper was undone, the main compartment wanted to flop downwards. But there are straps in the corners that you can tighten that will limit this tendency to tip downwards. I tightened them all the way and then, even fully packed, the backpack stayed horizontal when I unzipped the cover. I never had to readjust these straps on my trip.
As for comfort, this is a very nice backpack. The waist strap does a great job of redistributing the weight off your shoulders. And both that strap and the shoulder strap are very well padded. Production value seems very high, seams don't appear to have any way of starting to fray.
The side clasps worked great for holding a jacket or raincoat in place when I wasn't wearing it. The rain cover fit nicely over the pack, even with a water bottle and umbrella stuffed in the side pockets.
This is the most I've paid for a camera backpack or case, but it's also the best I've purchased, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the last one I purchase for quite a long time.

I can report that the method to access the rear gear compartment does in fact work. By leaving the waist strap done up and flipping off the shoulder straps, you rotate the pack around in front of you. Unzip the back and access your gear. No worries. It's comfortable to carry and being small, it's unobtrusive.
I am able to access my lens without taking off the pack and laying it down. A very nice feature. The lid stays open by the tension I put on it. Something I found I could do with practice. If I was still doing a lot of work out doors I would buy the bigger one so I could carry food as well. But my needs today this size is just right.
I should mention it is built well. Very rugged I expect to use this for many years.
