This camera backpack can easily hold 2 full-size DSLR cameras and a few extra lenses, or even some point & shoot cameras all in the same case. A mini tripod will definitely fit inside, not sure about a full-size tripod since I don’t own one (if they fold up you may be able to). Whatever you want this case to be for your particular needs, it can morph into it.
The main section of the backpack is configured into 9 separate compartments. However these compartments (slightly padded BTW) are fastened with Velcro, so you can configure the interior of the backpack into anything that you would need it for. You can even remove all the compartments if you want and use it as a regular backpack. Inside the “lid” are two separate see-though plastic zippered compartments as well.
As far as the exterior of the backpack, each side as two Velcro-closure pockets with flaps, which measure approx. 4.5″ by 4″ wide. The outside top (lid) has 2 huge zippered pockets, there is TONS of storage areas with this case/backpack.
The underneath part of the backpack which would come in contact with your back is made of mesh to keep you a little cooler while hauling it around. The straps are lightly padded and adjustable. It was comfortable for me (I am 5′ 4″), but I doubt if it would fit well for anyone over 200 lbs.
As a whole, the backpack is lightly padded with a somewhat soft tricot lining. The exterior is nylon and is easily cleaned with a wet cloth. There is a handle on top if you don’t want to use carry it as a backpack, which I do, since I don’t think backpacks are all that comfortable no matter how padded the straps are.

Four & a half stars. A well-made and practical backpack for photographers. I agree with the comments that it could hold 2 SLR bodies and several lenses or flashes. The compartments are adjustable. You could remove all the dividers and have one big compartment. As lightweight as this backpack is, I am surprised at how sturdy it is. The front pockets could hold flatter items such as memory cards, photos, maybe a lightweight reflective material. Although it’s handsome enough for a plain black backpack, it’s not exactly the most chic backpack, so I’m knocking it down 1/2 star. The surface on inside and out is quality. Not the cheap fabric you find in a lot of similar packs. I am uploading a close-up of the sporty tabs and texture. The other pictures posted are true to the backpack, so take a look at those.

Depending on what you’re looking for in a backpack, this can be a very helpful addition to your trip, wedding, or whatever event you’ll be carrying gadgets to! It’s got a main pocket that would fit a small lap top, and the back pocket has nine different padded compartments that can store whatever you need. The backpack is rigid and light, so it wouldn’t be cumbersome to carry at all (it’s also small). The coolest thing about this backpack is that you can pull out the individual compartments via velcro lining. You can also adjust the compartments in order to make them the size that you want.
The only drawback to this pack is the shoulder straps are extremely small, so for any adult of an average size it’s going to be tough squeezing your shoulders through the straps. The straps are adjustable, but it would still be a challenge to put this over your back (I’m 6′3″ with broad shoulders, and I can barely even get through ONE strap!).
This is a quality pack, though. If you’re looking for something cheap to hold your cameras, iPods, GPS units, or whatever, this pack would be a good investment.

This backpack is the size of what I would call a “regular” backpack, the kind you get for school or day hiking trips. Two SLR cameras could easily fit in here. I have used it for my netbook and point and click camera and it works great. Also, it fits my medical equipment (CPAP) and accessories with plenty of room to spare. The inner adjustable compartments somehow work better than the same Velcro compartments I’ve used in my smaller camera cases. However, the straps are quite short, which isn’t a problem if you’re just using this for packing and carrying short distances, but if you want to use this for hiking or a lot of walking and plan to have this over your shoulders, it’s likely it won’t fit comfortably.

The best thing about this backpack is how sturdy and compact it is. That’s hugely important to me when I’m carrying around my SLR gear. It seems to be made of a very thick canvas-like material and it protects my camera very well. I’ve used it a number of times already and I’m pleased with how it is holding up. It seems very well-made.
The other thing I like is that the compartments inside can be moved around or just removed alltogether. When I first opened the bag I was very disappointed because I didn’t think the compartments could be moved. I soon discovered that they can move and can be taken out! That makes organizing much easier. Good storage, and easy access to everything.
My one complaint would be that the straps seem a bit small, even when you make them as “big” as you can. They seem small for an average sized adult. There is a handle at the top, however, so you can carry it by hand instead of putting it over your shoulders. That said, this is a very compact bag, which is PERFECT for airplane travel, or any kind of travel really. Having to lug something huge around is a massive pain. I like how compact this is and how easy it is to store the bag.
