More on the Wotancraft New Pilot Travel Camera Backpack
What I like
- If you want a vintage collector direction for photography gear, this is it. Useful and utilitarian with a little patina
- Side access to the camera from both sides, plus quick access pockets on both sides
- Top bucket with a big Fidlock magnetic closure
- The material feels great. Solid straps and a breathable back panel
Watch for
- The earlier version I reviewed was side access only and didn't lay flat, with lots of straps and no great quick access pocket
Specs

- Fits a 16" MacBook Pro
- Waxed nylon canvas, Fidlock magnetic buckle
