Great pack. It fit my RF200-800mm attachment to my canon R5 mark two with cooling grip, four extra lenes and my 16in Asus pro art laptop and still have room to spare.

MindShift BackLight 36Liter I needed a backpack for camera gear and after lots of reading, research and measuring I was confident the BackLight 36L was big enough to hold the equipment I wanted to travel with. While most photographers will break down their photographic equipment into the individual parts in order to store more in their bag, I do NOT do this. When I pack my back the lenses are still attached to the cameras and in some cases the lens hoods are attached as well. The BackLight 36L allows me to put my Nikon D850 with the Nikkor 200mm f4 Macro and the lens hood attached in the shooting position into the bag very easily, with an abundance of room to spare. In addition I was also able to carry two Nikon Z7's with the 14-24 and 24-70 f2.8 lenses attached and their lens hoods reversed and still I had room left over for cleaning cloths, extra batteries, extra data cards, the rain cover which comes with the backpack, multiple GoPro style action cameras, and still I had more room in the back mounted camera storage area. To say this backpack will carry a large load of camera equipment is an understatement. In addition the lid for the camera compartment has two mesh pockets for additional equipment such as the camera manual, filters, cables, chargers, etc. The two front pockets will carry almost as much as the camera compartment. The outer most pocket is large enough to carry a change of clothes or just some food and a rain jacket. The interior front pocket is designed to carry a laptop and a tablet with lots of room left over for pens, pencil, note book, and probably a change of clothes as well. You can also carry a tripod or monopod in the dedicated tripod carrier and a large water bottle or two in the expandable side pockets. When I loaded the equipment described and weighed the backpack, it was 25 pounds. When I put this on my back, it did not feel like 25 pounds. The shoulder straps are well padded, very comfortable and easy to adjust. The hip belt when properly adjusted carries most of the weight and I was able to access all my equipment through the back access panel without having to take the backpack off. My experience with the BackLight 36L is fantastic. This is a well thought out, well designed, well executed backpack. My only suggestion would be to add Molle panel webbing on the front of the bag like the DarkLight 14L and 20L have. In fact you could probably add Molle panel webbing to all your backpacks and roller bags.

Perfecte tas met zeer veel ruimte. Had voordien de lowe pro vertex 200 , maar hier paste mijn 500 F4 en de 100-400 met de rest van alle spullen niet in. Deze tas draagt ook veel fijner op de heupen en schouders. ook geen probleem meer met het meenemen van een 1L thermofles en het statief, plus een walkstool comfort stoeltje. Had voor de 500mm eerst ook een andere tas, deze gelukkig niet meer nodig. Nu alles in een tas ipv. 2 tassen. ben dus zeer tevreden en blij met deze 36L Bcklight Photo tas. een echte aanrader.

Once you put your gear in this bag you can barely lift it, no way I could carry this around all day. Good quality bag with a lot of room just heavy.
