This bag is great. It holds a lot for its size, is well thought out, and is customizable in torso length. I had an issue with my older bag and inquired about a repair. They sent me a code for a new one! Amazing.

I needed a pack that would hold my large format 4x5 camera. The 30L Mindshift FirstLight is perfect for the job. It holds the camera, 2 lenses, spot meter, filters, notebook, 4 film holders plus dark cloth and other essentials. It took awhile to configure the padding, but now everything fits! Plus the adjustable fit is one of the main reasons I bought the pack, as I am 6’5” and most other brands were too small for my torso, or too big and bulky. Thanks Thinktank for a great product!

Overall I like the product. The internal adjustability and provided extra dividers make it very adaptable for whatever gear I need. I would have liked to see more expansion in the outer zippered storage area to make it possible to store non-camera specific things like a windbreaker or food while in transit. On my other backpack there is an open area that allows me to put anything - but it does decrease the overall gear storage a bit. The product feels solid. It is a bit heavier that I thought it would be but it really does protest the gear inside. It will take some time to work out the best configurations to use to carry my stuff but at least I feel very confident that the product is well made, feels durable, and it will protect my stuff while I’m on the go.
