question

Will the 36L version accommodate Canon 5DMIII with 24-70 mm attached, and the 70-200/f2.8, alongside a speedlite and some Magmod gear? Thanks.
Asked by: Vikram A.
Yes, a DSLR w/ 24-70mm attached, 70-200mm and speedlite will fit into the UltraLight Dual 36L. It may be a bit of a stretch getting the Magmod equipment in the camera compartment, but the Ultralight Dual 36L features a large main storage compartment in which you are able to fit quite a bit of gear.

question

Will it fit under an airline seat. Looks too big in the photo.
Asked by: James
I'm surprised to hear from some folks (below) that it does fit under an airline seat. I'm guessing that it would not without removing the camera compartment which would allow the bag to compress. I won't be testing it for airline travel for a couple of months but I'm planning on it going in the overhead compartment. Overall I'm pleased with the performance of this pack.

question

Will the waist straps of this backpack interfere with use of the SpiderPro Holster? Thanks.
Asked by: Anonymous
The straps may interfere with a waist holster, depending on how you're wearing both of the items.

question

Is this bag TSA compliant? Anyone had any trouble storing this in the overhead compartment?
Asked by: Bruce k.
I bought this bag a couple of months ago and I have been on two different trips with it. TSA had no issue with it but on my second trip it went through the X-ray machine twice, but with no issue. I did have a lot of lenses in it. No problems on the overhead compartments but I wasn't on a little puddle jumper, both were Boeing's, 737 and 767. Love the bag!
