Did not see what community this was in and was alarmed since on my device the preview text ended at the word “bodies”.
I have nothing of value to contribute except I’m glad you’re not a homicidal maniac.

Whew, glad you read through the post...
They’re heavy and I wouldn’t recommend for long travel because of that, but the Manfrotto backpacks are very well built. I have one of the larger ones, and it’s great for carrying heavier lenses. I also picked up the 21L and 31L Wandrd but I’m not in love with those. They’re good, just seems like there’s some things they could do better — like the number of internal zipper pockets needs to be more, the laptop / iPad sleeves need to be less flimsy, the velcro needs to be better and placed better, etc. good luck!
Thanks, I'll take a look at the Manfrotto. Is there a specific one you would suggest?
I bought the MultiLoader M and it’s def designed just for camera stuff. Super high quality. It is a heavy bag tho, compared with the Wandrd’s. I took an international trip with it last year with a small drone, small gimbal and like 4 lenses, one camera, laptop, etc and it was massively heavy all in. I took a similar trip this year and focused on weight, hence the Wandrd’s and took fewer lenses, took an iPad etc to shave weight where I could. Switching away from the Manfrotto was another choice. But it’s def a solid bag for shorter trips or where you’re not full backpacking everywhere.
