Pretty good pack.

OK, this pack is pretty good for my uses. I'm putting a Sony EX1 in the main compartment, that's an HD video camera that is the biggest of the hand helds but much smaller than an over the shoulder HD camera. I put a small field computer in it, two Lacie Rugged hard drives, shotgun mic, lens cleaning kit, three small video lights a water bottle and usually a jacket and some energy bars. This package in this bag is a bit cumbersome. I haven't found a bag that is better, but it can be difficult to carry on a plane when fully loaded, and it would carry better with all that stuff if it was taller and thinner. You also can't comfortably carry a laptop that's bigger than a 13 inch, so only a small field computer. Overall I'd say it's pretty good. Not perfect, but the best I've found so far.
