This bag is all around fantastic, and works as intended. I keep my Sony A6400 in the smallrig cage with a kit lens, the f4.0 70-200mm lens, some audio gear, GoPro plus accessories, and a few other odds and ends in the bag. It holds them all fairly well, and there's some extra space for future additions. The bag is extremely light, even with my full set of gear it feels reasonable. Once I add my laptop it starts to feel a little heavy. I actually got into an accident on my moped while wearing this bag- went over the handlebars, rolled, and all that good stuff. I was worried that I may have damaged some of my gear. However, once I got home I checked everything- the bag kept everything safe! Hats off to Manfrotto for making sure the bag actually does its most important job of protecting gear. My only gripes are that the hourglass shape of the bag door reduces some of the usable space on the sides of the main compartment when you go to zip it up, the buckles for adjustments on the bag don't seem to grip very hard (so you frequently have to readjust the bag), and the addition of just a few more internal partitions would have been great. Perhaps a strap on the side with the mesh pocket would be nice, just to help secure taller water bottles. If Manfrotto addressed a couple of these, it would certainly be a 5 star bag. Some of the reviews have mentioned it doesn't fit shorter people well. I'm 6'0", fairly slim build, and the fit is very comfortable. It certainly seems it's better suited for slightly taller users. If you're looking for a bag that's lightweight, suited for taller folks, and will genuinely protect your gear, definitely consider this one. I really like it.

This is simply a great backpack, dedicated to carrying photographic equipment. It does the job very well with plenty of room and a comfortable carry. It can be used as a carry-on when flying as well. It's a great backpack.

The Bumblebee from Manfrotto is Great!

This is simply a great backpack, dedicated to carrying photographic equipment. It does the job very well with plenty of room and a comfortable carry. It can be used as a carry-on when flying as well. It's a great backpack.
The Manfrotto Bumblebee-130 PL camera backpack is a professional camera bag designed for outdoor shooters who are always on the move. This carry-on pack is built to keep professional gear protected while providing long-wearing comfort. Its signature design Camera Protection System dividers safeguard a DSLR body with 70-200/2.8 attached plus 8 lenses, or unattached 400/2.8 with 3 lenses, or a compact professional camcorder with accessories. The center section can hold an unattached gripped DSLR body. The 'checkpoint-friendly', designated laptop-only section holds a 15" computer.
The bag can be divided into top and bottom compartments by closing the main zipper stopper, making gear quickly accessible from the top. Alternatively, the top section can be reserved for personal items. The unique AirSupport back & harness system not only distributes weight evenly on the shoulders, waist and hips but also maximizes breathability thanks to a suspended mesh panel. The load lifters, sternum straps, shoulder straps and waist belt are all fully adjustable in length to give you the utmost flexibility and comfort.
The backpack's water-repellent Rip-Stop nylon/polyester fabric, hollowed ITW Nexus buckles and Duraflex hardware make the pack both ultra-lightweight and strong enough to withstand the most intense use, ensuring long-term protection for large amounts of gear. The tuck-away NeverLose tripod connection is always ready to secure a variety of professional tripod sizes. There are external zip and stretchable pockets for accessories and a water bottle. This model comes with a DuoFace sun/rain cover, which provides extra protection in rough weather and reflects sunlight, keep gear cool and dry all day long.
