Quality medium size camera bag
This backpack is a medium-size camera backpack (20L) that is well padded to all sides and weight-wise I would consider it on the lighter side (specs: 3.7 lbs. equals ca. 1.7 kg).Given that, generally speaking, camera backpacks are made for different purposes (like long/short travel, hiking, day trip etc.) I would tag this one: city, day trips, multi-purpose, lesser equipment. Seeing it is a 20L capacity pack and in this category it does well with multi-purpose.Design- and feature-wise I think this bag is more positioned in the area city and short travel versus hiking, rougher outdoors or long travel.I like the fact it comes with a rain cover.For this review I do not want to repeat what type of items can be put into this backpack because you can see already many scenarios in the marketing images. You can configure the compartments depending on your needs.The dividers are not pre-configured except of the top compartments bottom-divider.It comes with 2 long dividers and 3 small sub dividers. In my configuration tests I did find enough space for more equipment but ran out of dividers -- 3 sub-dividers are not enough. I could have used 2-3 more. Since dividers are just pads with Velcro at the edges, I could have installed others from other photo backpacks I own but not everybody has those extra ones.I would have liked to see 5-6 sub-dividers coming with this backpack.Getting quick access to camera(s) and stuff is my main focus next to overall storage capacity.I like to have quick access to the camera without fumbling too much around. Many photo moments occur suddenly and require quick access.This backpack offers three options:One is the lower side access. Then you get top access which I mostly prefer for the reason that I have easy access when the backpack sits next to me, e.g., in a plane or in a café or elsewhere. I don't have to flip it sideways.With this Beta Backpack 20 I enjoy the option 3 which is the full-open backside while carrying it (either on one shoulder or both and in front of you. That is possible because of the extra inside straps that hold the rest of the bag in place. That is a thoughtful design element.I did find that the backpack's top flap gets in my way when using option 3. Actually, that flap has in my understanding no function at all, there are no pockets in it, and basically it just covers the top zipper and requires to be attached on the front side. Maybe it is because of a weather protection thought or just for design reasons -- the backpack would be even better without that flap for quick access and overall handling.The outer shell material is water-repellent and as mentioned can be protected with the included rain cover. I did not found information about how tear-resistant the material is.The backpack comes in many colors.The compartment for the laptop or notebook feels well-sized well-padded. The shoulder straps are well padded for the load and accessories can be attached, like an Action Cam.All-in-all this is a quality photo backpack which I would recommend for people looking for a photo backpack that has a city-style modern look & design, offers a medium capacity which makes it also lighter, want to use it for shorter travel or day trips to the city or nature.
