HAZARD 4 Pillbox - Hardshell Backpack, Tactical Camera Bag with Laptop Compartment Compatible, 29.5 Liter (Coyote)

I am a big fan of Hazard4 bags, packs, accessories. I bought this pillbox as a pack to use for traveling as I have to carry 2 laptops (work/personal) and this bag seems to fit the bill.I love the 2nd compartment for storing cables, chargers, accessories. It's nicely organized and flexible, you can arrange the compartment barriers with some flexibility.What could be "Challenging" with this pack, and the 2nd compartment, would be trying to access goodies when, let's say, you're on a plane, where room is limited. On a flat table it's nice to open it and lay everything out.My work laptop (yoga380) and my home laptop (dell 7xxx, yes, it's old) fit just fine in this bag. Work laptop fits in back sleeve and it's nicely padded, home laptop fits perfectly in the front panel sleeve.Accessorie pockets in front section is somewhat limited, and they have 4 sleeves that are so small I'm not quite sure what they could be used for. Glasses, pens and other "Flatter" items fit in front section, in 2nd section you have quite a few slots for accessories with depth.The only "But" on this is the weight, even unloaded it's not a "light" backpack, but the rigid structure of it is nice, and with that it keeps pesky passengers on planes from "JAMMING" their oversized carry on next to yours, which is nice (I can't tell you how many times I've been on a plane and watched people try to stuff their hard bags, crushing my soft backpack in the process.. manners, where have they gone? )..I did put both the Beavertail and Rail accessories on this pack, then I used the bungee cord (black) to thread through the rails and over the beavertail, which works okay, the beavertail gives you another storage compartment and some Molle slits as well. (remember, if you use the rails and/or beavertail you won't be able to use the bungee cord on the inside of the pack, as it's displayed in the pictures. As the screws you use to mount them disallow the use of the holes for the bungee on the inside..All in all a good pack, especially if you want to protect what's inside..All in all a good pack

I bought this pack to carry my DJI Mavic Platinum Pro and all of it's associated equipment. I know Hazard 4 has some bags marketed specifically for this purpose, but they didn't really appeal to me. I was able to get everything in the bag with no issues. The Mavic, controller, 2 spare batteries, single battery charger hub, 4 battery charger hub, wall charger power brick, car charger power brick, extended legs, camera filters, misc. cables, iPad Pro, iPad mount, Surface 3 Pro, and whole slew of other things. I added pouches to the molle of the admin area to hold all my additional rotors. It does exactly what I want and does it well. The pack is comfortable and easy to adjust. The removable waist belt was easy to remove. I'm not carrying enough weight to warrant needing it and with my height and where the bag sits the waist belt wouldn't be sitting on my hips anyway. The zippers seem a bit finicky, but that maybe because they're new. The stitching seems decent. The material appears to be good quality as well. The grey color is a bit unique. I wasn't sure I would like it when I ordered the bag, but once I saw it I thought it was a nice color. It has a Civilian Labs 3D logo on it instead of the Hazard 4 3D Logo. It is what you would expect from Hazard 4. Any drawbacks...well the admin area could use some rework to make it more useful. It's not horrible but there are four tiny useless pockets on the larger flap pocket. Some elastic bands or one larger pocket would be more useful. That's really the only complaint I can come up with for the bag.

So I bought this with the hopes that my brand new camera gear would be less likely to get destroyed on my next deployment...but then I was pulled off the trip because people don't know how to not post things in a group chat. Annnnyway, I really like this pack so far. I feel really tactical, and that's cool since all I know how to do is make things fly and disappear my career. My only gripe is that the camera section is not very deep. I mean honestly, my Sony lens isn't abnormally large but it's about double the depth of the camera section. That means everything in the other section is getting compressed, or it's digging into my back...and I'm not excited about either option. The case is super rigid though and that's one of the best features. I have absolutely no doubt that this case would have stood up to the rigors of throwing it in an ISU or putting it with checked luggage, and that's saying something. Also, the two pouches in the storage section aren't included. I added those. The webbing on this is great. Some are reinforced, other's aren't, but what they did where just makes practical logical sense. I also super like that the breast and waist straps are removable. I do not usually use these straps on any of my backpacks, and most packs sew them in so I just have to deal with them flopping around like my floundering mental state. But not with this pack. They were very easy to remove...unlike text messages in a group chat. It's also really comfortable to wear in my living room, and I'm hoping that longer walks/hikes will be the same. The biggest take-away here is that I'm very happy with my really expensive backpack and I honestly can't wait to travel with it. I like the feel, the look, the customization, the branded accessories(let alone the endless molle options), and the confidence in not breaking anything. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
