Nearly perfect
Perfect bag for day hikes, very comfortable and rather spacious. The camera compartment is generously spacious as well, although I would consider using additional dividers or padding to make sure your gear is snug. I am mostly comparing this bag to its similarly sized competitor, LowePro Photo Sport 300 AW II... MindShift is definitely better designed, more mindfully at least. I found this roomier in both upper compartment and camera compartment, more comfortable, and with a slightly larger hydration pack. The traditional padded back is more comfortable than LowePro's ActivZone back as well. One suggestion for MindShift is to add an expandable front pocket to store jackets. The lack of this was the only reason I decided to go with the LowePro and not MindShift. One additional difference is that LowePro's rain jacket conveniently sits at the bottom of the pack, whereas with MindShift you have it in a small pouch that you choose to place somewhere in the bag.

This pack is just what I've been looking for
I do a lot of adventure photography and have been playing around with various ways of protecting my gear while also having access for the perfect shots. The Mindgear UltraLight Dual 25L is pretty close to perfect for me. I've only had this for a month now, but have gone on several solid adventures including climbing 14's in CO and slot canyons in Utah. This pack is light, durable and all the small detail Mindshift pup into the design really pays off. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars if because of the tripod strap. I like how it cleans up when you tuck the straps into their compartments, but I don't like how the weights adjusts when the tripod is strapped in. I think I will use the side pouch and strap to keep it closer to the body (just a personal preference).

Nice day hiking pack for photography
This is a great daypack for carrying gear while hiking if you like nature photography. I selected it because I am very petite and need a daypack that fits my small frame, but I did sacrifice room for gear. The bottom compartment holds my Nikon dx7200 w a 35 mm lens on it. My other lenses are too big to fit in there but there is plenty of room in the top compartment for more lenses. I would say if you can afford it and are not a small person maybe go for the next size up unless you don't have a lot of gear. This daypack doesn't have the feature where you can get to the camera bag without removing the daypack, although it might be possible if set up creatively. There are straps for tripod and plenty of compartments for accessories and personal items. Comes w a rain cover. If you are on a budget this is a great pick.

well thought out, useful features
This is a good bag for weight conscious travelers, It holds a basic kit for outdoor, landscape or travel photography. You can pack camera gear and carry on items, The camera compartment slides out for a nice little brakeaway bag. Its within airline specs for carry on and comes with a little rain cover for foul weather.

Great for skiing
I'm not usually one to write reviews, but figured I should write one about this backpack. I spent quite a bit of time looking at various options on B&H's website before I purchased this. I also visited the store in NYC once I had narrowed my choices down to help make my final decision. The primary purpose for this backpack was to bring my DSLR camera with me skiing. For skiing I generally just stick with one lens so I perhaps could have went with the slightly smaller size that MindShift makes, but I wanted some flexibility to also use this backpack for hiking when I might want to take an extra lens along. I feel that the camera compartment of the bag has adequate padding to protect my camera while skiing even in the event of a fall. It is relatively easy to swing the bag around and access the camera. There are also plenty of other storage compartments to fit all my other skiing accessories (spare pair of goggles, extra layer of clothing, snacks, etc. The bag itself was extremely comfortable to wear while skiing. Overall the bag seems well made and quite sturdy. Am I going to say this bag is perfect? No. I think there are always minor things that can be improved. I'd perhaps like to see a better selection of dividers included for the camera compartment. I also wish the front compartment on the waist strap had a clip to attach my keys to (there's one in the upper back zipper compartment, but it would be a bit more convenient to have my keys in the front compartment). Overall I'm extremely satisfied with this bag though as it met all my needs so far. I used it this entire ski season so have had a decent amount of experience with it before writing this review.

This bag is a sleeper hit.
The moment I bought this bag, I had buyers remorse. I thought the price tag was a bit on the high side, but I fell in love with it the first day I put it on. The criteria I was looking for:
Space for water bottle
Side access for camera
Tripod holder
Laptop pocket
Well padded
Water resistant
The only things I didnt like about this bag are:
Left side camera access. (I prefer right)
The camera pouch is just one big void. (Easily remedied with foam)
The hip straps are a bit cumbersome.
The features I loved are:
Its so incognito. Does not look like a camera bag.
Ultra light. If you have just a few items in this bag, it will feel like you arent even wearing a bag.
Camera pouch is removable. Just unzip the left side and pull it right out.
There is space for some clothing and personal gear.
Overall this bag is a comfortable fit for me as a traveler. Its not a bag that will fit multiple lenses and all your camera gear. This pack will comfortably fit one camera and two lenses inside the removable pouch. There are storage compartments within the bag to keep wires and cables organized. If you have the extra cash this bag is worth it.

Light day pack
Perfect for one camera and extra lens for a day trip. I'm going to use it for adventure motorcycle riding.
