Whistler Series - Born on the side of a mountainAll-season Performance.Lowepro's most versatile pack for extreme conditions, the second generation, redesigned Whistler II delivers amazing performance for wilderness photographers and adventurers who carry an equal measure of camera, video and functional outdoor gear.The inventive and technical Whistler alpine pack is reminiscent of our brand heritage, and the adventures that led founder Greg Lowe to create a carry solution for his passions.Designed and tested by professional photographers, including Whistler shooter Paul Morrison, in the extreme conditions of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.Key upgrades include:&#149; 20% more interior cargo space - now fits 3 lenses across&#149; CradleFitTM 15-inch laptop compartment for 450 model&#149; Top & body side access to camera compartment&#149; New more comfortable dual density harness design&#149; Simplified attachment points and routing for compression strapsFeaturesSpecial Insert pads for controller and drone protect and secure components in the bag.Pack includes a detachable All Weather AW Cover to deploy and protect valuable gear from rain, snow, dust or sand.A dedicated CradleFit TM Laptop sleeve to fit a 15-inch laptop for the 450. Ejector strap makes loading and unloading the laptop quick and easy.Roomy front pocket expands to fit alpine essentials, including a shovel, probe, rope or extra clothes. A waterproof barrier separates wet gear from main compartment (drain hole at bottom).Top pocket designed with a high-visibility orange interior; key leash included inside zippered pocket.A camera with a mounted long lens can easily be loaded through the top access. Folding dividers configure vertically or horizontally for to fit different types and shapes of gear.Attach heavy gear like skis, ice tools or pro tripod to the sides and still have access to main compartment.Multiple attachment points make it easy to expand capcity and add trekking poles, snowboard or other alpine essentials.

I needed a bigger bag and something that could also hold my Ronin-S gimbal. 

My former backpack had a small compartment at the top that I could place my gimbal in unfolded, but this was at the cost of space for other gear. The Whistler II can actually fit the Ronin-S in its thin back compartment. This leaves the entire main compartment available for the rest of my main equipment.

It can comfortably fit a C200 with the Canon 85 f/1.4, its monitor, a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k with 18-35mm attached, and two additional lenses (24-105 ii and a smaller prime).

My only feedback is that the waist straps are now attached to the back of the bag that folds out to open the main compartment. These waist straps are LARGE and FAT. They get in the way every single time I want to open the bag. My old LowePro Trek had these waist straps attached to the body of the bag so it never infringed on the opening/closing of the main compartment. It's very cumbersome and annoying!
