This is a nice small camera backpack that holds a surprising amount of gear. I have done a lot of window shopping for camera backpacks and this one checked all of my boxes, especially having enough pockets and a big enough storage space for camera gear.
On the left and right sides, there are little flap pockets that might be big enough for a very small water bottle but are mostly just for tripod feet and small cleaning cloths, etc.
I like the amazonbasics zipper pulls. They seem easy to grip and pull. The outside fabric feels strong enough to survive being tossed around. The top handle seems to be stitched well enough on mine but I've seen the other reviews that said theirs have ripped out. I'll try to be mindful of that as I use it.
There are two larger pockets on the front flap. There's one on the outside of the flap (horizontal zipper) and one inside the flap (first arched zipper across the top). The outer one goes all the way down and is just a pocket. The inner one is even bigger and has multiple little flaps and dividers, kind of like a school backpack.
There are two buckle straps on one side to hold a tripod. They are adjustable and should fit any tripod (or at least can be snaked through a bigger tripod).
The shoulder straps are adjustable and seem to have plenty of padding. There is a chest buckle that can slide up and down the shoulder straps. The buckle connectors only have about an inch of adjustability but also have a little bit of elastic stretch to them.
It also has a waist strap. It is adjustable and feels secure enough. Right away, I can tell that it won't fit around my waist but that's not unusual for me.
Opening up the main compartment, I see that the top flap has two clear plastic/mesh dividers, each with a zipper pull cover so as not to damage any gear below.
The actual camera gear area has soft, semi-rigid dividers that feel substantial enough to prevent damage. There are enough dividers and they are arranged in a useful way and still customizable to your liking. As others have said, they come upside down, i.e., the camera would be at the bottom of the backpack whereas most want the camera near the top. It's an easy fix. I moved the dividers around so my camera would be on top.
I have the Nikon Z 5, the kit 24-200 mm lens, an 85mm lens, a 50mm lens, an FTZ adapter, a flash, flash trigger, and a battery charger in the main compartment. I have cleaning cloths, a cleaning kit, lens filters, SD cards, miscellaneous cords in the other pockets. Still feels like I could fit a little more stuff in it.
I like this camera backpack, especially because I got mine as an open item/used for a much lower price. It looked brand new to me. It feels like it will last long enough and keep my gear safe. Seems easy to carry and wear.

Great outdoor/nature photography bag!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014
I purchased this bag as an upgrade from my venerable Canon 2400 SLR gadget bag as I outgrew its small size. I have recently refocussed my photography efforts toward outdoor/nature photography and decided I needed a new bag to carry my growing collection of lenses and accessories. Here's what I think of it:Size:This bag, upon first impression, actually seems a bit on the small size until you open it up. There is a lot of room in it for a number of different lenses, bodies, and accessories. This is what I got in it right now: Canon Rebel T2i, Canon 18-55mm kit lens, Tamron 70-300mm VC, Sigma 105mm Macro, Tokina 11-16mm, various wires, charger and accessories, a collapsible light diffuser/reflector, and a travel tripod strapped to the side of the bag. If I took out the wires which I really don't need I could easily fit another large lens. But let's get down to business, how many lenses can you really fit in this thing? If they were all the size of the kit lens or the Tokina, I could probably fit at least 7 since they can be placed in the bag standing up (when the bag is on its back). And that's of course with the T2i body. Now if you have all lenses the size of the Tamron or Sigma, you might be able to squeeze 4 in the bag depending on how you do the layout. And if you have really large lenses, expect even fewer. This is something to keep in mind, especially if you're thinking of doing wildlife and nature photography like I am. You're going to need some big lenses to get those great shots, and they take up a lot of room.Construction:This bag is built tough. Even though I've only had it for a month, you can tell the quality of the materials. The really nice part of it is that the interior is customizable, so you can change the layout to fit all the lenses and accessories you have. Plus, I love the side tripod straps. That makes keeping everything together on a simple hike so much easier.Protection:I can't say that I dropped the bag full of equipment or otherwise did something that would normally be regrettable yet, but I can say that it looks well enough padded to absorb hits and drops. Outside of falling backwards with the bag on my back, I think it will protect my equipment well.Design:At first, I was hesitant buying a backpack style bag as I always liked to carry my camera with a side bag. However, the benefits of putting the weight on your back instead of one arm has a great advantage. It doesn't tire your arms when you want to hand shoot stuff! Plus, you can keep your equipment on your back at all times, even when shooting. I can see this being a great advantage out in the 'field'. It does have one disadvantage as you have to take the bag off your back before getting to the equipment which adds time, sound, and movement (something that may be problematic when shooting skittish wildlife).Overall:This bag seriously can't be beat when you factor in the price. It's even cheaper than the sale price for my old Canon bag! I can't yet judge its durability as I haven't had it long enough, but just for its ease of use and large size I'd readily buy one a year if I had to.
