Since there is not much to criticize ...

I bought this camera bag in front of a Canada vacation. Because I absolutely wanted a backpack, yet allows me at high Tragekonfort on hikes, next to as much camera equipment take a notebook, a lot of my election to the Lowepro Pro Trekker 400 AW.
So much has already said yes to the previous reviews. The backpack has a few small drawbacks, but the benefits outweigh clearly. I would like to briefly mention some experiences aspects that have occupied me before buying, and that could be truly tested only after the purchase.

Transport as hand luggage:
As part of the Canada trip we flew with 3 different airlines (Austrian Airlines, Air Canada & Lufthansa). I immediately followed the advice from the other reviews and have taken the top case and the hip belt and transported in a backpack. The size was none of the flights to the problem (was not even addressed). The problem was rather the weight as one of the high weight of the backpack very easily the 8kg (Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa) or 10kg (Air Canada) reaches or exceeds. Just FYI - only with Lufthansa, the weight of hand luggage has been checked (with a little argue the entrainment because of full load with laptop, chargers, cameras, etc. was possible despite 14,5kg). Except for a short-haul flight in a turboprop engine (very small), the backpack has always fit in the overhead locker in this configuration (together with the notebook that makes the backpack in my case by up to 4cm thick).

Hiking and comfort:
What can I say ... the backpack and the straps can be adjusted very diverse and adapt to your own body. I had a problem in any of the walks and found the backpack even after several hours of not disturbing. The large side pockets are ideal to insert also 1.5l plastic bottles (still have no water bladder for backpack). With camera, an additional lens, various filters, flash in the backpack was still enough room for a small pair of binoculars, snacks, drinks and other stuff.

Notebook compartment:
Bundled Notebook sleeve has for my 15.6 "HP laptop (model 8540w) not enough I've ordered me about Amazon following Sleeve -." Luxburg Design Laptop Case Laptop Case Sleeve for 15.6 "In the My Notebook has fit in well. , and the whole was then (albeit just) fit into the appropriate compartment in the backpack. For hiking the notebook anyway was not necessary and for transporting the plane, it was full enough. Without the patch top case is the laptop compartment is not protected from the rain (which does not matter in fact, because you take it off before you check the flier and can install on arrival again, and one during which anyway is only within airports or airplanes traveling).

In summary, I can only say that I am extremely satisfied with my backpack choice. Most disadvantages which this backpack are known from the very beginning and therefore a compromise that you already have to be received by each backpack:
- Had the backpack quick access to camera, then here this would be a panacea
(Instead of the quick search function, but offers plenty of opportunity to backpack stands or other stuff like jackets at the sides, at the front or underneath the backpack to install ... so for walking, after all, a good alternative to a shortcut)
Also, I've worn the camera even while hiking always with a strap (Carry Speed ​​FS-Pro camera strap with camera plate F1), and they had so always handy! The strap comes with the backpack hardly get in the way.
- Which is the backpack when you open almost forced way on the back panel and shoulder straps, is not quite optimal, but was with my walks (which are unfortunately often also trickled / rain) rarely a problem.
- Increased weight, but with the quality of workmanship and the numerous possibilities offered by this backpack, the high weight is probably necessary and hard to avoid.

These few disadvantages / compromises faces a number of advantages and a great fabrication with numerous usage and customization options that I no longer want to mention, because they have already been described in numerous other reviews.

I can and will this Photo backpack with a clear conscience to all those who are looking for a top all-rounder with plenty of comfort and space for the outdoor area. Simply TOP!
