This bag is almost perfect. For me at least the hip strap is too large, so I broke out the sewing machine and cut off a bit of material at the base of the strap and sowed it back on so it fits me. However I don't expect this to be a problem for most people. However, IN GENERAL THE MAIN COMPARTMENT SUFFERS FROM AN AKWARD DEPTH. For most of my lenses, they can slide around quite a bit in the extra height (when the bag is laying flat so you can access the internal compartment) when laid flat, however, I can fit even my largest zoom lens in the bag (Sigma 150-600 f6.3 Contemporary), even with the lens hood and 2x teleconverter installed. Still, I wish that there was extra padding included to fill the extra space. And even then, the included dividers are not as tall as the compartment, so small lenses can slip around the dividers when the backpack is worn or upright. However I definitely would have liked a better configuration for holding the DSLR in the top of the bag by the top accessible flap (another symptom of the main compartment being to tall/deep). Also, it would be nice to have a few more dividers to allow transport of multiple smaller lenses/items. I've solved the first problem by sewing little "blocks" of felt folded like an accordion to give them thickness, with a small patch of Velcro on each corner of the bottom (so the cushions don't fall out), to the size of each compartment/lens footprint, to take up the extra space. I've solved the second problem by using the "U" shaped dividers included to make a cradle that fits my frequented lens (Sigma 24-105 f4 Art), against the front wall of the bag, so the camera is well secured, but the remaining space is large enough to fit an entire other camera body attached to a small lens vertically below it in the depth/thickness of the pocket, along with small spaces for other gear along the sides of the pocket. I've used this space to store my film camera (Minolta 7000 Maxxim), alongside my DSLR (Nikon D610), and used the side space to hold a film container and the softbag containing extra screws for my tripod, and few lens adapters. You can use one of the dividers to separate the two cameras bodies so they don't touch. For the third problem I've bought some third party dividers of the same dimensions (but taller) to fit the bag. IF YOU HAVE LONG AND LARGE DIAMETER LENSES, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BAG. If you have smaller diameter lenses, like Olympus or others, get something else. Secondly, for a hiking backpack I really expect a pouch for a water pouch (a flexible reservoir, ie a platypus). There isn't one, and while you can use the laptop pocket, make sure that the pressure of the bag doesn't cause your mouthpiece to drop while wearing the backpack, for me it didn't, however my Osprey water bag has a backpressure prevention valve built in, most don't. However, even if this solution works, it means I can't really bring my laptop, which isn't great. I don't have a solution for this yet. Finally, I really wish that they had added side pouches on the hip support strap. They are very long as it is (a problem for people with small waists like me as they won't tighten far enough) and they could have used that space to add a zippered pocket on each side. As it is, there are no pouches easily accessible while the backpack is on. I solved this problem by purchasing kevlar-cloth zipper bags and sewing them to my modified hip straps, and appreciate the extra space and easy access on the trail. With all the problems out of the way however, I love everything else. The quality of the materials is impressive, and the padding is luxurious. I am no longer worried for my camera's safety when I hike. The side pouches are especially nice, with very stretchy fabric that slides easily, perfect for water bottles or small tripods. Not many packs can let you bring a drone, a DSLR, extra lenses, a tripod, and a water bottle. The bag is very comfortable, and I've used it on several strenuous 8+ hour hikes with significant elevation gain, and absolutely love it (with the modified hip straps at least). The rain cover works very well, however isn't quite large enough to cover my large tripod when strapped to the back of the bag vertically, however this can be solved by moving the tripod to the bottom horizontal roll mount, if you don't have something there already, but it can be a bit akward (and make sure your tripod is waterproof), but it means all the rest of your gear is protected. Even during fairly intense rain, the backpack was fairly dry, and all of my gear inside was completely dry, and not even damp (even my viewfinder didn't fog up, which is a first). There are just enough dividers included to configure the backpack to carry almost everything. The dividers have a stiff foam inside and a non-abrasive yet slick outside covering, allowing even tightly packed lenses to slide in and out of storage easily, and the inside is very well padded, especially the bottom of the bag, and covered with a thick, soft fabric. The padding on the back wall of the backpack is exceptional, even better than my dedicated hiking backpack, and the bottom of the bag has a very thick kevlar-like plastic that allows you to set the bag down even on sharp rocks, damp grass, or wet sand without worry of poking through the bag to your gear, or getting it wet. I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING BETTER, and I've hiked a combined 45 miles with it and I'VE TRIED MANY OTHER HIKING-CAMERA BACKPACKS, AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVEN'T RETURNED. Even with it's flaws, it's a keeper. TLDR---------------------------------------- CONS: Main compartment is maybe too tall/deep, too few dividers, no place for platypus/water reservoir, no hip pouches. PROS: Premium materials, sturdy construction, great protection for your gear, practically fully customizable, and unmatched comfort, even for strenuous hikes and long durations. ... show more

    • Nice camera bag but two things bother me about it.
Size: Alta Sky 45D
It's a very solid and comfortable camera bag but there are two things not to my liking. First, the bottom section which opens from the front. I thought it was a pretty neat idea but after receiving it I realized it's unnecessary and inconvenient. When I open the back of the pack I want full access to all my gear. Opening two sections is just more work and time. Another problem with this is that when you open the bottom section the pack leans backwards and the back of the pack can contact the ground, pickup dirt and transfer it to your clothing when you put the pack back on. So I decided not to uses this section the way it was intended. I rearranged the interior to make this section accessible by the back cover. The second thing that disappointed me is that it doesn't do something my prior Lowepro bags do. With Lowepro bags I can keep the waist belt closed and bring the bag around to my front, let it lean forward and open the back cover. I'm able to access the pack through the back while the bag is still attached to me, as it leans horizontally away from me and is supported by the waist strap and my body. If you try doing this with this bag it will lean so low towards the ground that the contents may fall out. It's just not designed to do this. But the bag is very comfortable, very configurable, and has a lot of other nice functionality going for it. It just hard to find the perfect bag. ... show more

    • Superb pack!
Size: Alta Sky 45D
I am not a photographer; I purchased this product for a secondary use which was to transport my Magic: the Gathering Collection while at a convention. The organizational capacity and varying compartments made reaching for the right deck a breeze and the pack itself held up very well and was comfortable to wear with a full load for multiple hours at a time. ... show more

    • Amazing bag
Size: Alta Sky 68
Lots of storage. Good Organization. It holds my Z5 mounted with 150 500. The straps have good suspension, and the zippers and cords are excellent.

    • Great pack - good design - hip belt adjustment could be better
Size: AltaSky66
I really love this pack! It's well made and designed... the only issue I have with it is the hip belt should be lower so the weight actually sits on the hips and not the waist. I actually load my gear in the pack just to travel to my destination whether I have to hike some or not. It keeps everything well protected in the car. Fits my full-frame Sony mirrorless with grip, TC, and FE 200-600 with lens hood on. I can also throw in my Sigma 50mm f1.4 in the top as well. I strap my tripod with gimbal to the back, but for hiking, I will remove the gimbal and place inside the pack to keep the weight distributed properly. ... show more
