Thoughts on my next backpack (feddit.nu)

I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).

I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.

I like:

The simplicity
The design
The large main compartment
Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert

I don't like:

No water bottle holder
No quick access to camera
To few images showcasing the insert in the bag

Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?

Would you recommend something else?

I personally use the peak design everyday 30L with a medium camera cube.

I can 1 bag all of my 4-5 day trips.

Medium cube, and a medium clothing pack, and one toiletry bag.

It does get heavy. I'm a smaller person. 69 inches and 150lbs.

The waist belt helps a lot.

Took it hiking on Faroe a few weeks ago. Definitely gone through some sketchy hikes but the backpack did fine. I thought it was comfy enough.

Bad is that your lenses are harder to access through the side pockets. Smaller cameras are fine for the most part.

I have a Z8 and that was a bit big to get through the side panel.

I also have the large camera cube and I'm thinking of getting a smedium cube for longer trips. I've been trying to one bag longer trips like 7-14 day trips.

I do cheat by bringing a sling like a 6L sling so I can tuck lenses I'll use a lot in there for ease of access.

Sorry for my rambling. Took me 5 bags to get into a setup I'm comfy with.
