The gray NG W5071 Walkabout Medium Rucksack from National Geographic provides you with a dual purpose backpack that can be used for photo and personal business. The pack is divided into two sections-top and bottom with the top reserved for personals such as food and clothes and the bottom for your photo gear. The lower area has dividers to help you configure the area. However, if you remove the central divider that separates the two areas, you have one large storage space for whatever you need.
The pack is rated to hold your DSLR with a lens attached as well as three additional lenses, flash and accessories. It also has a separate rear zippered pocket for your 15.4" laptop. For extra storage, two front zippered accessory pockets hold your small stuff-pens, note pad, phone, batteries and other similar sized items. Two open side pouches are for a mono or tripod. They can even hold water bottles. The upper flap has a zippered pocket for your MP3 player or phone.
The pack is made from cotton canvas and accented with leather. Inside, nylon padding keeps your gear well protected. Access is via zippers but the front also has two touch fastened flaps that you can use when you prefer not to use the zippers. Carry the pack by its adjustable shoulder straps and extra sternum strap that helps maintains balance while on the move.
The Walkabout Medium Rucksack also features a handy trolley sleeve that allows you to thread the pack over your optional rolling luggage cart for easier navigating through parking lots, ramps or hallways. The pack comes with a five-year warranty from National Geographic.

Comments about National Geographic NG W5071 Walkabout Medium Rucksack (Gray):
I bought this bag for my 5D2 and recording equipment. This bag is neither too big for travelling, nor too small for professional photographers. It can easily fit a 5D, three lens including a 70-200, microphones and recorder. The reason I gave it four stars is that only small tripod can be tired to the side of the bag, which isn't perfect.
