RAINSBERG Photo-X Backpack (Gray)

Genuine customer review. I was a little nervous about buying this because of a lack of reviews (that's why I'm writing this), but I'm very pleased with it. I bought the expensive version with the touch lock - there are instructions to set it up on the Rainsberg website, but it requires a bit of hunting. Once setup, the fingerprint lock works very well - and in all honesty setup was pretty easy. The backpack itself is very lightweight, but very strong. I was a bit nervous until I loaded it up with gear, but it's doing great holds it all with room to spare. Camera, 2 lenses, teleconverter, spare batteries, and in my case a wireless mic set. The internal padding is good, and the layout is also excellent (and very configurable). The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 is my default lens, so I re-arranged things so it fits down the center of the backpack and I still have a few inches to spare. The Rainsberg backpack includes more padded dividers than you're likely to use - the velcro is super sticky, and you can put extra padding the bottom with the extras for even better shock protection. The reason I bought this was because I realized that my clothing was fully protected in a hard-shell suitcase while my expensive camera gear was shifting around as I walked through airports, etc. It made no sense to protect T-shirts in an expensive suitcase and leave my gear open to getting banged up. You lay this background down on the hard-shell to open it, and it contains some reinforcement to ensure it doesn't unintentionally open all the way if you forget to zip it (or if the wind catches it). It sits well on your back, the straps feel nice, etc. In terms of camera sizes, my Nikon Z8 fits with the lens attached, but the height of the interior compartment is probably a bit too shallow for a Z9 or something with a handgrip attached. You'd want to disconnect the lens and put it in horizontally, and I'm sure it'd fit fine.
