Review on πŸŽ’ Charcoal MindShift Gear Backlight Backpack: Optimize Your Search by Becki Felix

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for

I did a lot of research to find the perfect package for my needs. I kept coming back to that. I was a little "concerned" that it had been out for several years and wondered if a newer, more innovative package had been released. I couldn't find any that I thought would improve this. It has everything I need to take with me on a day trip (2 Canons with grip and lens, a Canon flash and mount, plus some small diffusers, some lenses, filters, cables, a tablet, memory and more. I usually carry my laptop with me not with me But it's nice to know I would have plenty of room for extra clothes/jacket, gloves, hat if needed I really like the 3 tripod placement options I usually put in the back so I can carry 2 water bottles on the side.But if I have clothes or other items in the extra storage space the tripod throws you off balance so it's nice to know I can store it on the side it will last a long time but it's nice to know it has a great warranty. Hopefully I don't have to find out.But most reviews say Think Tank/MindShift are returning their products.All my other backpacks have side access your back, and they let me put them in the mud/snow and then pick them up again. st my back. I like that I don't have to. I appreciate the easy access to the pocket rotation to get my gear. But I've found that it doesn't work very well with everything I have in my backpack. It probably works great if you mainly have lenses and want to easily replace them. This is one of the most comfortable backpacks I have ever carried on my back and I will take it with me on most hikes. I highly recommend this and am even considering getting a 26L or maybe a 18L for faster hikes or city walks when I don't have to lug around as much gear. Oh, and I'm thankful they include a rain cover for heavy downpours (the bag is actually waterproof for normal rain). Other bags do not contain.
