Great Photo backpack, but still expandable ....

Great backpack with lots of storage options flexi, however, a few things that I missed:
- There are 2 exterior side pockets that could hold water bottles, for example. However, these are not very tight and there is no way to secure the bottles (eg zip-band). This can indeed store 0.5 L plastic bottles, but Sigg bottles falling out when you will be actively ........ (eg a Photo bends forward with the upper body.). The North Face example has much better regulated in his backpacks. But I do not know if North Face offers a similar photo backpack.

- I missed a chance to fix it with the outside of the rucksack harness a jacket, the retaining system for the tripod is not suitable because the tapes are too short. The interior is too small to hold a slightly bigger jacket.

Yes, you can take out the laptop compartment. But this is not recommended. Taking out there, you have a lot of "open" Velcro fasteners in the inner pocket, dan what you aufschürft hands and also of garment "threads" pulls.
Moreover, given away to the storage space "behind the photo tray. The photo application moves without laptop use simple" nachhinten "..... and you can also no jacket or similar hide behind, because as describe the whole Velcro the room unusable.

When 1.78 m tall woman I found the size of the backpack almost too big, it was hard really tight to wear it on the body (all belts taut) and the hip belt is almost rather too low. Small women should therefore not order this backpack.

Would I buy my backpack again? I ordered under time pressure, but OK and I'll use it even with larger tours and holiday on. But it would have been perhaps better to have more time with the selection to go to a store and various models "life" to compare.
