I have been looking for a way to carry my camera along with everything else that I would need for photo taking. I believe I have found it. The bookbag itself is mafia of a different type of material. It’s water proof and feels more like a canvas but not actually sure. It has a nice look and feel though. The top rolls over and has a strap that secures it in place with a really nice buckle. Once that is opened there is a zipper that once unzipped opens up the inside of the bag. The side of the bag also has a zipper and then when you unzip it then there is a organizer that can be pulled out that has the camera equipment. There are also a couple pockets in the front to store small items along with a side pocket that holds a tripod. Now this is a really nice backpack but there are a few things that I wish was a little different which in my opinion would make this the best backpack ever. The things I wish were different is the organizer. It comes in pieces and you have to put it together and is held by Velcro with a band that wraps around. In my opinion it should be one solid piece. That would make it more secure when pulling it out or pushing it back in. I would also like it to have something that would separate the organizer and bookbag itself that way when the top is opened up I could put other things in the bookbag so it’s not sitting on top of the camera equipment. If those two things were done then this would be the best bookbag on the market. That’s my opinion though. This is still a great bookbag and comes in real handy. I use this for when I go to the zoo or hiking that way I can carry what I need with my camera equipment. This also comes with a cover to put over the bookbag for when it starts raining which is nice. All in all this is still a great bookbag and I will say that if you do a lot of hiking and need something for your equipment this is a great option. I would easily recommend this to anyone.
