Atlas Athlete vs NYA Fjord 60C for travel with Canon R5 kit?

Has anyone who has used both of these bags offer a comparison? I'd be using them as a one bag travel solution (camera gear in the bottom half, clothing in the upper) and locally as a day/weekend bag. Mainly with 2x Canon R5 bodies, 15-35mm f2.8, 28-70mm f2, and possibly the 100-500mm and/or 70-200mm + drone, laptop, and clothes.

The Atlas is a 20-40l and the 60C is 44-60l. I'd be using them in the 40-45l range when traveling (in the overhead compartment). I like that the Atlas claims to be able to size down to a 20l as a day bag or when not packing it as much to use locally. My only gripe with both of them is the laptop compartment being on the outside of the bag away from your back but since both have true harness systems this shouldn't be too much of an issue.

You need a small camera bag only.

Yes, you can get a bag as big as you want. Problem is you can't carry it. We are human not a machine,  right? Big back bags are for king with a team of security guards.

Solution is a small back bag for an extra lens and accessories , hand carry the camera. Put all the rest gears in a big shopping bag. Easy to take. You may leave the shopping bag in the car (if any) .

I also travel with 2 cameras and also want to buy Atlas Pack but I am really not so sure about ICU space. It looks to me much smaller when you compare to Medium ICU from Shimoda or F-stop (9 in / 23 cm width concern me the most)

Laptop compartment is located far away from your back so is not too protected ---
Is great looking bag and i am seriously thinking to get one for myself for the same reason as you have mentioned ( but I also wish is less heavy )
