Ive been looking at bags for WEEKS. Ive watched and read so many reviews and talked to a lot of people. I wanted a camera bag that I could take on hikes or all day trips and carry what I need. Now I also don't pack much and everything out there is giant. This thing hold my Mavic mini in the fly more case and my Fujifilm X-E3 with the 18-55 with room to spare as well as holding my Benro tripod. Its very comfortable and not too big. Exactly what I was looking for an about 150 bucks less then what I was planning to spend on a bag.

Super lightweight and stylish. Exactly what I was looking for. Holds my 12" ipad pro in the top section as well as a lens and some extra room. I have a D850 in the bottom, and its a little tight, but works fine. also have another prime lens in the bottom. Overall awesome bag!

I think I finally found the everyday camera backpack for me. I already have the Rotation 180, but for the city, it's just too big, and I need to wear the waist belt to make it work. The Sprint is perfect for a small kit (a Fuji X-T1 plus two lenses, some batteries, filters, etc.). Despite the small size, it's a huge compartment with two pockets that I can fill with anything I may need for the daytrip as well. City or country, this thing will work. I still can't believe how light it is!! So comfortable, and finally I get the benefit from owning a mirrorless system. Some camera backpacks are sooo heavy, and you don't even need all the compartments. I love the bottle holder too. It's a bit narrow, but it will work. I can even throw my phone in there in a pinch, if I want to keep it handy. What I particularly like is that it's such a slim profile. It's skinny on the top, and has a rigid compartment on the bottom. Even if I fill it, I won't look like I'm about to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro. I am female, 5' 9" and not skinny. I was a bit worried because it looked so long and skinny in the pictures, but it looks perfect on me. Fits like a glove, is really well made, has lots of storage room and is so amazingly light. And the best part - I can access the camera gear without taking the pack of (both) shoulders, AND I don't need the waist belt (which is removable to boot). Awesome, just awesome. Thanks for thinking of everything, Mindshift.

this is my new favourite bag. the "ipad sleeve" will hold an 11" MacBook Air I use mine for my Leica M and 3 lens kit, MBA 11", and all the other bits and pieces I need, small booboo kit, cardreader, sunglasses, usb power pack, 1.4x converter and spare battery for the work camera, 1l of water. It carries really comfortably, more comfortable than my old Lowepro (which had a good frame and harness) this wont be my last Mindshift bag

I bought this pack because I was looking for a small pack that I could use for travel, where I could get to the camera without removing the pack. I didn't want the rotation packs, or even the larger version of this bag, because I wanted a pack with a removable waist belt (or even no waist belt). I've had the pack for a few weeks, and here are some comments after using it several times: Pros: The bag is light and comfortable. It's easy to swing it around to get to the camera compartment. It will carry a tripod OK as long as you remember to use the top inside clasp to help steady the tripod. (I don't normally carry one, though). It has an outside water bottle holder, and a secure inside pocket. There is also more storage inside for non-camera gear than other bags this size. Cons: You aren't going to carry a lot of camera gear. I can carry a Fujifilm X-T1 with the XF 18-135 lens (and hood) and a XF 35mm f1.4 lens inside the camera compartment. It's a little snug getting the camera in and out, but you aren't going to accidentally drop the camera. This is my normal travel kit, so it works well for me. (The camera will not fit with vertical grip in place.) There is only one zippered inside pocket and no outside pockets; I would prefer more. The water bottle pocket is very snug, but it will still carry a small water bottle or sunglasses. On the whole, I consider it the best out of my vast collection of small packs, so I will keep it.
