Great bag for photography on day trips!

I've spent a lot of time researching camera bags. I wanted a small bag suitable for both urban environments and day hikes. The main requirement for me was side access to two cameras, a Sony RX10 iv and a Sony a6000 with a 10-18mm lens attached. I was concerned that the side access to this bag (BP200) would not be big enough for both cameras, but I didn't want to go for a larger bag. I tried this one and am very happy with it. The side access closes smoothly and has large loops that are easy to grab. The hole is big enough to access my two cameras. The top has enough space for a bag with extra batteries, filters etc., a light jacket, a sandwich, a flashlight and another lens if needed. The flat front pocket is perfect for a piece of plastic that I unroll to sit down. on the. I use the small pockets on the front of the bag for my car keys and a thin flashlight. The flat pockets on the sides of the bag are ideal for a mobile phone and/or a small laptop. I tried putting a water bottle in one of these and it fit, but due to the way the bags were made there is no insert that expands outward so the bottle is pushed into the bag's contents . I've found that it's better to get a clip on a water bottle cage and use that instead. Some reviews indicate that once the orange vertical dividers are in place, you cannot insert/remove the inner bag divider section through the top of the bag. However, you can insert/remove it through the side hole. This worked great and it was a lot easier to attach the dividers to the outside of the bag. A few downsides were that there were no center tripod straps in the bag and no pocket to tuck the waist strap into to hang in the bag. Path. I combined these two problems into one solution by running the hip belt up the bag and through the top carry handle and attaching the tripod bag to it. (See photos). I've taken the bag on a few hikes and it has worked well. The chest strap is tight but I'm comfortable where it is so not a problem. In addition, the bag is very comfortable on the back, and the bottom and structure of the bag allow it to stand upright, which is convenient. I am very happy with this bag and very glad I received it.
