It took a bit of time to work out how to make use of all the pockets and attachments. Like any back pack it is never big enough but I hiked up to Gayley Lakes with it a climb of 600 height gain starting at 10,000 feet and the backpack and my back were fine. I would recommend choosing a light tripod which can be secured more easily than one which is heavier.

Positive elements: The backpack is well constructed. The design is very well thought out. It makes use of the space very well with a lot of added pockets for small things that are needed on the go. It is a reasonable weight for 30L size. The only negative comment I have is that the storage for camera equipment was a bit small for me. It would be nice to have another removable pouch for a photo pack rat like me. I have a lot of equipment I need to carry. Probably more than the average photographer.

Overall, I really like the pack for its comfort and size. There are some tradeoffs, as detailed below Pros: well balanced on my back/hips, comfortable with multiple adjustments including torso length, good sized multipurpose pack, i.e. carries camera equipment and trekking gear; plenty of attachment points on outside of pack Cons: barely fits 70-200 lens next to a camera with attached 24-70 lens and teleconverter below camera; will not fit camera with battery grip attached (Nikon D800 with grip MB-D12); other camera gear (flash, filters, etc.) need to go into one of the other uncushioned compartments; inadequate room for hydration system to accommodate longer hikes - I usually bring a 2L bag for those trips which I can just barely and very inelegantly squeeze into the side pocket

The Manfrotto 30L Off-Road Hiking Backpack has been specifically designed for hiking and photography with quick side- access to your camera. Thanks to the Manfrotto Protection System, the removable camera case is highly protective. It holds a Pro DSLR, 70-200mm lens and an additional lens. The backpack converts into a total hiking backpack by unzipping the internal divider and removing the camera bag. The innovative camera strap featured on the front of the backpack allows the camera to be kept secure on the chest when it is carried, avoiding neck strain. The bag has been designed with high-quality premium materials and careful attention to ergonomics and comfort.
