I did received the midnshift ultralight dual 25l black magna. It looked alright but I will phone on monday to my retailer because there was no promissed raincover. I am very curious when I'm going to use the bag.

I just received this backpack yesterday and have not had a chance to 'test drive' it yet. It's difficult to find a good camera bag that is also good for day hikes and this bag has great features that other camera bags lack (e.g., a wide padded waist strap). However, while many features seem good, one complaint is that the shoulder and waist straps are not well designed for a smaller individual. In order to snug up the shoulder and waist straps while wearing summer weight clothing (i.e., one layer), I have to snug up the straps to the absolute limit. For the waist strap, this precludes using the little elastic retainers to secure the loose ends. For the shoulder straps, they could probably be snugged up an extra inch but this isn't available. Hopefully there will be a version 2.0 that is more user friendly for a smaller person.

I really like this backpack, it is lightweight and has enough room for my mirrorless camera. Also, there is a bit place left to put some extra stuff like clothes and such. happy with the purchase.

I’ve just returned from a two week trip to Africa. I used the bag as one of my allowed carryons for some of my camera kit, along with ThinkTank’s Airport International V2.0. The UltraLight Dual 25L is light weight and adaptable. I used my DJI Mavic 2 Pro in the lower compartment. Nice fit! The top hatch packet was handy for my travel documents and readily accessible. When the overhead bins were full, the Dual 25L fit nicely under the seat in front. On trips into the countryside in various trucks, the bag kept my equipment both handy and dust protected. A quick damp cloth cleaned it up well. Overall, I’m very pleased.

Decent pack. Used it Nordic skiing recently and it allowed good arm swing. Too heavy with 3 lenses and my m4/3 body but excellent with just the camera and 1 or 2 lenses. Right size for day use with jackets and essentials, not too big like some bags

This is a great backpack for moderate amounts of photo gear. It is light, flexible and the right size for walking in both urban and outdoor environments. I love the pull-out case used for a belt or should bag. Two complaints: 1) the Rain cover should be integrated. I am going to lose it. Given where other bags on the market are, there is no reason not to sew it into its own pouch on the bottom and 2) a few more small pockets for the inside of the upper compartment. Nevertheless, I believe this bag is as close as I have seen to the ideal. Very happy with the purchase and the customer service I have received with minor issues or concerns from ThinkTank.

As a hiker that doesn't like to carry a ton of lenses, usually just my 18-400mm and my Canon. This is the perfect bag. Plenty of room for my water bladder as well as an extra bottle of water for even longer hikes. Camera is well protected with easy access when the mood strikes. I've used other bags for a while but nothing has compared to this one. Just hiked all throughout Arches & Canyonlands and love it!

I love this bag, but my laptop won't fit in it (15" Lenovo P50). My girlfriend's 15" HP fits, but just barely. The thing that surprised me about this bag is that the 16l actually seems to have more room in the upper compartment than this one (it's deeper). The 25l definitely has more space for camera stuff though.

I have been searching for a great ski vacation bag for a recent trip out west. After looking at a bunch and deciding to move away from a small competitor bag, this was my choice for carrying my D810 with a 18-35 attached on the slopes for the day. In short, it worked very well as its a light bag, with easy quick side access for a large camera like the 810. The added bonus was that I was able to add the panorama/horizon insert in the top compartment and carry onto the plane ride, a 50m, 14-24 (on camera in lower section) and 28-300. In all 4 lenses, a small tripod along with some filters, iPad etc - a ton of stuff....and the bag fit under my seat on 4 plane legs. Overall, well built bag with a ton of versatility for this trip..one small improvement I might consider - a larger "zipper size" on the side access panel to allow for possibly a bit smoother "zipping" on the go (the quality was fine). In sum, very nice bag! ps- even holds a hydration pack for skiing at 11000 feet!
