OSPREY UNLTD 68 Airspace and 64 Antigravity

Does anyone  use this Osprey Packs with any F- stop or Shimoda  ICU ?

'
How much space is left after you insert Large or Medium ICU and how is a feeling when you have to carry heavy camera equipment for many hours ?
Please don't write about other Packs and options ( there is already many threads about them )

I did read and participate is all your threads ..... but now I only want opinion about this specific OSPREY packs. With some promo codes I could get them cheaper and they look like really good when comparing to camera bags

Huh?! I never even mentioned other packs. I was just asking which model you bought (they are actually two very different packs, even though they both cost $700.)

So... just out of curiosity, from $700 down to what?

$525 - it was the lowest price
$595 - this price I can get today maybe even lower

Comparing this to
1) F-stop SHINN 80L DuraDiamond Expedition - $499
2) Shimoda Designs Action X70 - $499

I hope someone bough Osprey and could share with us so very valuable informations

How do you like it so far?

So far I like it... but

I am not sure if I really like the way how it open. I prefer old style opening like here in this video at 2m 34 sec. So things don't fall from the pack

With Osprey you have to lay down your bag flat and what is bad -  you do it on the side that you put later on you back * so if the floor is dirty this will get also dirty

In case is  full  and you want to have your backpack standing ...you can't just open this big door because things just start to fall down a little. I think this is bad design
----- Straps are also getting in the way when you try to unzip
But overall I like this bag. Is very good quality and for sure I will use a lot. And I would buy probably again because there is a lot to like about this pack. 
If you have a chance to find one in any store to check I would recommend this ( or at least if you can get a coupon for 20-25% off ) Full price is just too high

Shimoda Explore 30 V2 --- Osprey UNLTD 32 --- F-Stop Loka UL 37

Shimoda Explore 30 V2 --- Osprey UNLTD 32 --- F-Stop Loka UL 37

Osprey UNLTD 32 with f-stop Shallow ICU ( Medium)

Osprey UNLTD 32 with f-stop Shallow ICU ( Medium) and Lowepro GearUp Creator Box Extra Large II ( Backpack still close nicely )

Osprey UNLTD 32 with f-stop PRO ICU ( Large ) - you can access easily 1 or 2 cameras and 2 small lenses

I will use Osprey as my primary backpack now
F-stop is still good
Shimoda, well I will never call this adventure backpack ( too boring and bulky ) Perfect for weddings and churches with this shinny black material ( dust magnet ) 
... BUT BIG RESPECT for Ian ( the owner of Shimoda Brand who also is designer of  F-Stop Loka UL 37 Backpack  for bring many new ideas the market )

Re: OSPREY UNLTD 68 Airspace and 64 Antigravity

with this you still get very small pocket at the top ( I think you can fit there : pone, small wallet and a keys... no more than this )

Re: OSPREY UNLTD 68 Airspace and 64 Antigravity

@piot so you bought the 68L as well? How do you like it as a photo backpack?

I'm keeping an eye on the 64, but I'm concerned with the bulk of the pack. I think it'd be too large for general use.  And the 32 too small.

But I'm interested in your opinion on the size of it.

68 or 64 is only good if you go for backpacking trip and would like to put Internal core unit inside your big backpack to  carry as one  big pack ( for regular use is too big )
-
32 liters is not small at all. Is very comfortable. But access to the cameras is much more difficult when you compare to real camera back panel  Backpack. I will us mine but if you often need something from your backpack like filters or you want to change lenses  regular camera pack is much safer if you wish not to damage anything. If you want to carry a backpack and only sometimes reach for camera then there is not problem. If you carry a lot of accessories with you than is easier with F-stop  or Shimoda or this kind of bag
32 liters is as big as F-Stop Loka UL 37 l ) I mean I can put as much stuff there 
It will be great if you have a chance to try out before you must pay for it,  or have an option to return
