Great option for my Nikon Z6II and my laptop and an extra lens. A removable camera bag is a great option, and as a bonus, I got the National Geographic camera strap.

I like how it is made and the materials used. Allows a tripod be carried easily, clothing/computer compartment is good, but the camera space is limited.
Well designed for inclement weather and rough handling.

My usual traveling gear is an Olympus OMD Mark II/III micro four-thirds camera (two bodies), a telephoto, normal and wide-angle lenses, plus 2 spare batteries, memory cards, filters, and cleaning supplies. For local shooting I use a soft-sided messenger bag, but
for travel, stowing the messenger bag in a backpack was not an ideal solution. I've tried several bags before but none could carry my traveling gear in a compact, protected fashion. This bag does! The lower compartment is well padded, largely due to the removable camera compartment, which doubles as a serviceable carrying case of its own. The compartment fits, snugly, one body with the telephoto attached, the spare body, two lenses, and the OEM flash unit. There's a little space to stash some odds and ends. The two-way zipper gives access to everything. The laptop compartment easily carries my iPad Pro. The upper compartment is slightly smaller than the lower one and not as well protected. But it easily carries a light sweater or vest, hat, and miscellaneous photo equipment, such as my tripod ball head and a teleconverter. The zippered accessory pocket is thin, but will accommodate two extra batteries, an SD card wallet, remote trigger and small flashlight. The design and construction are by folks who know what they're doing. One feature I like is that there are no Velcro-style closures or plastic buckles. The straps are secured with a metal buckle that slides into a leather patch or nylon loop. It's probably not as secure as Velcro, but it is quieter and easy to unlatch with one hand. Zippers have a handy leather pull. The adjustable shoulder straps each have a D-ring to temporarily attach accessories, such as a cell phone carrier, small binoculars, filter holder, etc. Perhaps best of all, the top-opening upper compartment has an adjustable roll top closure similar to those found on dry bags. Thus, the compartment can carry bulky items and the adjustable straps still allow it to be secured. A camera bag is difficult to buy on-line. However, B&H's return policy makes it easy to try and determine if it meets your needs.
Perfect!

Only downside is lag time getting your gear out if your in a hurry otherwise great set up with room for laptop and other essentials.
Overly padded and shallow backpack made to fit under seat

I bought it based on the pictures showing a Mirrorless camera with kit lens. The diameter of my nikon lenses would be too big. So I gave up on that and tried my Olympus OM-D EM-1 mk3 with a Panasonic Leica 12-60. The lens is a 4-1/4length, 2-1/2 dia but the shade is 3 dia. This won't fit in the T-slot without stretching it so little else fits!
The thick padding does not help. Smaller bags like this don't need 3/4 separators. I'd fit more items if they went with 1/2 or 5/8 padding on bottom and 1/4 or 3/8 separators i/s. It's like they used separators for a heavy rollaboard in a tiny thin (did I note that it is only 3 [or 3-1/4 if you press down], deep? That's measuring the compartment, not the external o/s which adds two layers of over thick padding) pack. Yeah, it slides under an airline seat [easily] but I would rather they made it deeper and I would store it in overhead.
Actually, I have computer satchels bigger than this camera backpack.

This pack will fit a camera body with lens plus 2 extra lenses. Smaller accessories can fit in the camera portion also. I picked this pack for several reasons as follows: it is not as bulky as some of the others, it has a separate pouch to stash a jacket or lunch, and the camera bag can be removed and carried separately. My only complaints would be it would have been nice to have an organizer pocket for the accessories, and the buckles for the top portion were a little tricky- but I bent them to make it easier to remove them and it is no longer a problem. It also has an outside pocket that a phone or accessories can be put in, and a sleeve on the inside for an Ipad or laptop. My MacBook Air fits perfectly. Rain cover is on the bottom, and you can attach a tripod on one side and carry a drink on the other side.
Very beautiful and handy backpack

I love this backpack ! It's an amazing way to walk with for street photography with my analog cameras and lenses.
I never try to carry my tripod but it's my winter backpack. -26C and all is good.
