Pros:very large backpack, more than adequate padding which guarantee high protection, very light
Cons:Few pockets, shoulder straps absolutely not adequate to the weight reached by backpack full, even annoying in the summer because of their plastic.
Opinion:Overall I judge negatively this product. The backpack is very large and allows it to be loaded with a lot of equipment. Guards and padding affect positively and convey a sense of security. Unfortunately, despite being very large in the "main hold", he meets with a few pockets. Also the shoulder straps are absolutely inadequate to the weight that the backpack can reach full load. Being made of plastic, also tear away the hairs from his chest and shoulders if the backpack is worn in the summer with a t-shirt or a tank top. I realized a more comprehensive review here: http://foto.alessioluffarelli.it/recensioni/manfrotto-bumblebee-pl-220/.
Pros:the shoulder straps are fantastic: they have a profile that follows the shoulder and back, curving with it. The other packs, especially those with PC port, instead of binding the shoulder, tend to "rectify" his back: the Bumblebee was not, thus it appears comfortable with any weight. the padding is professional, and the pockets are not lacking
Cons:Long vertical internal padding restrict the disposal of photographic components: a professional body such as the D3 can be brought disassembled from optics, or the bottom of the backpack, where the width allows it to settle. unfortunately the bottom of the bag is not in my opinion the best part to put the camera ... always at the bottom of the backpack in my opinion were included rubber feet or reinforced waterproof
Opinion:It 'a great backpack that is sold at a very attractive price online. It inherits the shape and composition of kata, and manfrotto version replaces the logo and the internal padding. unfortunately it is curved, it is very necessary to adjust the placement of your backpack material, while in the more squared type Tamrac or Lowepro fits the backpack and its inserts to the material. The hip strap can be removed if not needed, and the shoulder straps fall in the back, reducing clutter. The PC port makes a backpack that can also be used to go to work, taking along our hobby and a snack for the afternoon.
Cons:Only the shoulder straps of plastic and fabric upholstery.
Opinion:In my opinion, this is the photo backpack. There is a lot of stuff and there is still space for something. Excellent belt for the waist (I'm pretty big and is linked to perfection), very good adjustments to the shoulder, the great door tripod that you can mount or side or in front. Excellent compartments and pockets, resistant to UV and rain (with a rain cover included). Excellent internal padding and compartments. Only thing a little like this, is the material of the shoulder straps which, though still soft, is made of plastic and not padded fabric, but maybe this can overshadow. For the rest, I repeat, this is the photo backpack.
