Review on Versatile Think Tank Urban Access 15 Side-Loading Backpack for Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras by Kevin Duhon

I have just received the Think Tank Photo Urban Access 15 backpack from B&H. This is a very compact, good looking, mostly high quality backpack that should last a long time. It easily fits my Canon R5 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens attached with the lens hood removed or facing backwards. When you wear it you have easy access to the camera on one side of the bag and the lenses on the other side (just fold it over like a shoulder bag) or take it off and access the camera and all your lenses to the front. , the part that lies behind you. There is no access to the camera or lens from above. Instead, there is a compartment at the top that can hold cables, batteries, charger, memory cards, filters, SSD, flash and other small accessories. Very comfortable and easily accessible. It's not overly bulky, but offers enough space for a 15.4-inch MacBook. In fact, it barely fits in a 16-inch MacBook. It's so snug that I'm concerned that carrying a large laptop in my bag everyday will damage the seams of the backpack, so I won't. Yes, I understand the display isn't designed for a 16" laptop, but I wanted to see if a larger laptop would fit. It will work, but I don't recommend it. Put the backpack on the ground without leaning it and it won't tip over even if the dog is looking for a snack in one of the pockets. There are only two things I don't like about this backpack. 1. The buckles on the lid of the laptop bag feel cheap, unreliable and don't work like my other bags. Rather than tucking one part of the buckle into another, consider placing them side by side. another one, and then slide them together.Who knows, maybe this design will grow on me, but I doubt it.2. The only thing protecting your laptop from the outside is a layer of canvas material. If someone or something trips over the back of the backpack, the laptop will be hit directly. I wish there was some foam built in for extra protection. Overall I am impressed with this camera backpack and glad I bought it. It's expensive but seems worth it. I will update this review if anything important happens during use.
