This thing is awesome. It is the perfect size for all of my gear i need to go skiing. Before i go more in depth about the pack, let me list what is in it:

60d
24-105 f4L IS USM
70-200 f4L USM
50mm f1.4 USM
1 Meter Slider (with its own tripod head)
Zoom H1
Intervalometer
Charger
LCDVF
055/501hdv tripod
SD cards+Batteries
All my cleaning supplies
extra batteries, card adapters, extra caps, etc.
Gaffer's Tape

That is about all this pack can hold, but it holds it very comfortably. I paid 100 for this and every thing in it is very protected. Lots of adjustment on the straps, and without a tripod it can carry a pair of skis. It also has a deployable rain cover. Not much more I can say, but this pack is awesome, and post any questions here!

would you mind posting a pic of it with all your stuff in/on it? I am considering this too but i want to make sure it can hold all my stuff (which it sounds like it can).

love mine, best part is the rain cover, use it all the time skiing in the NW. But I am looking into replacing it with an f-stop loka

fstop would be a quality replacement. I'd love to get one once I outgrow my current pack.

the new one, yes (most 15 inch laptops)
the older one i have/posted above. yes. but its not legit. i put it between the ICU and the bag for transport. defs dont shoot with one, i leave it at home/in the car. it will weigh too much.
