The ThinkTank Streetwalker Pro backpack is my go to for most trips. Enough room to carry my X-H2s with grip, a pretty long 150-600 lens and a couple of others as well, usually an 8-16 and 16-55. That’s not exactly a lightweight kit, but I’ve become accustomed to hauling it around when traveling and don’t find it to be all that much of a burden. Also, for longer vacation trips, I might forego the 150-600 and only bring the other two lenses, which cover the vast majority of the FLs that I would need for travel photography, and where wildlife photography isn’t on the agenda.

After trying out a LOT of backpacks (since I found many of them challenging with a long lens) this is the same backpack I went with - the Think Tank Streetwalker Pro V2.

It nicely (almost as if custom) fits my gripped X-T3 + 150-600 lens, with the foot sticking up in the bag. I also have room for an X-T20 + lens, Blackrapid strap, teleconverter, flash, pack of 4 batteries, memory card case, rocket blower, plus a few odds and ends.

This backpack also does a really nice job of carrying a full size tripod on the back, although I did ditch the Think Tank strap and replaced it with a Lowepro strap from the Protactic line (can buy separately online).

The straps on this pack are incredibly comfortable, especially when compared to my old Lowepro backpack.

The only thing that I wish Think Tank had done better was the side pockets. They border on useless. A missed opportunity there I think.
