Good backpack should provide lashing options readily available (e.g. side compression cord is the most versatile).


That's the catch for me. The only pack that I've found with a decent amount of space inside AND a decent amount of camera space only has a shallow mesh pocket on the outside. The bags I've looked at that have good outside attachment points outside (tripod plus a proprietary system that looks like it will work with molle) only have one large compartment with velcro & foam dividers.
