Roomy and comfortable pack

By Mark

The pack’s construction seems solid, with high quality materials. The camera area is easy to configure thanks to the various size pads. I have it holding a Canon R6 MkII body with 24-240mm zoom attached and 16mm prime, 85mm prime and 100-500 mm zoom in separate slots. That leaves a couple of additional small slots for accessories. I am using built in pouches for a spare battery and body cap/lens cap storage. The upper compartment has plenty of room for jackets, first aid kit, hat, etc it makes the pack very tall but it is well balanced and does not feel tall on the back. Once on the back the loaded pack is comfortable and feels lighter than when picking it up. The loaded pack adjusters help the pack’s balance quite a bit. They do get in the way when opening the main compartment but with practice opening the compartment is not bad. The side opening for easy camera access is well sized and works quite well. All in all I am pleased with the pack and look forward to continuing use.

How durable are the shoulder straps and seams? ...

How durable are the shoulder straps and seams? I've been disappointed with the poor quality of some expensive big name packs.
Asked by: David
Compagnon is a mixed bag. They are absolutely unhelpful when issues arise on their bags. I have had zipper pulls that broke. The way they're made, there's no way to put the cordage back inside. Instead you'll have to replace it with an alternative pull or some paracord that, if you're lucky, will have handy. If you try to buy their's, they'll charge an exorbitant amount for international freight when regular airmail is enough. Thumbs down.

Will this bag fit a 200-600 lens? Along with an a1 body with 24-70 attached? And a 14" MBP?
Asked by: Christine
Yes, the compagnon Element Camera Backpack can fit a Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens, a Sony a1 Mirrorless Camera with a Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens attached, and a Apple 14" MacBook Pro in the laptop sleeve. Keep in mind, that due to the size on the 200-600mm lens, that you might not be able to align the a1 and 24-70mm lens attached with the side access zipper.
