I was looking for a bag that would travel well, have lots of pockets for miscellaneous items and still look stylish. I am able to keep my D850 with a 200 mm F2 monster lens in this bag with plenty of other room and even my laptop while traveling.
I took this to Puerto Rico and wore it for probably 50+ hours even hiking for 18+ miles in the tropical rainforest. It doesn’t show any wear and tear at all and was so comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about it!!!
I chose this title because I still use a DSLR and like having a vertical grip on it. So instead of taking the vertical grip off and putting back on I just put the body in sideways without a lens mounted on it. Eventually I will buy a mirrorless camera...lol. I do love the top access and the pocket for the newer, thinner laptops (my old one with the DVD drive was too thick to fit.) and a tablet which my previous backpack was lacking. it's nice having only one bag to carry around for day trips now. Another useful feature is the pass thru to attach to your luggage handle. I also own an Airport advantage XT in Graphite which I use as a combo with the Backstory 15 when traveling.
This is a nice pack but does not compare to the mindshift backlight packs of similar size which have many more features and more room/pockets for additional gear. And the prices are similar.
