For those who were able to successfully sneak by with the Farpoint 70 as a carry one, were you carrying it in backpack or suitcase mode? Many thanks!

I guess suitcase but I would challenge you statement of sneaking if on as a carry on. From the easy jet and Ryan air to United and lufthansa flights I've never had an issue with this bag as it always fits within regulation size.

I carried mine in my pocket everyday, untill It got packed up during a recent move ( I ordered another one cuz I hate going without it, it should arrive tomorrow). there were a couple instances where it turned on in my pocket but there is a very audible click so I've known everytime it's happened.

I just purchased this Osprey Farpoint 40 last week from Amazon and received it yesterday. Yes, this new Osprey Farpoint 40 does have an additional side shoulder strap besides the rear shoulder strap. This side shoulder may reduce the total weight of your backpack to both your shoulder strap and hand. Pretty good design by Osprey.You may view the image here:http://gogobackpacking.wordpress.com/

For what this one cost I would say this is a great one for hiking. I use it for hunting myself, it keeps track of how far you have walked the path you traveled and it has a lot of extra uses. the topographical map is also great. If you know how to read the topographic part of it you know where cliffs and major hills are. All in All I love it. the only 2 suggestions I would offer to you is get the carry case that is made for it (It has a spot for extra batts) and take extra batts. It seems to not use them too fast however better safe than sorry. I hope this helped you.

Its up to you, if you own a lot of pens, feel free to put a whole jubilee of them in there! Traditionally its more of an anchor point where you can attach rope through in order to secure a sleeping bag, chair, or tent, foliage for camouflage, etc. under the bag. Further more, you can also utilize this feature with carbiners that can hold other objects such as a water bottles or other items you may not want near your expensive camera gear. I hope this helps!

No. I tried that and it's a stretch. I have the most success carrying outside the pants but inside the belt on the left side in a cross-draw mode. The LCP is so small it is easily covered by a sweater or even a loosely tucked in shirt.

When I first obtained it, I took it to the LAX TSA and asked if there were any concerns. They had no issues. I flew with it in my laptop case for seven months 2-3 times per week without any concerns or comments. I was stopped by Milwaukee TSA and it was confiscated. I was told I could have been arrested.This is a "gray" area and the TSA can confiscate ANYTHING they wish. I am no longer carrying a tactical pen. I am carrying a Cross pen/pencil set.....

I wonder the same thing, especially when I see the product was given free for a review. However, I bought mine and love it. I carry it on our morning walk at 4:30 AM and it's virtually as light as a feather. I use the longest range to look down the street for skunks. I definitely am a fan.

Yes, I have carried a tripod on the side, however, it was longer than the back pack and a bit awkward.

I just took the backpack through Newark Airport a few days ago, just had to take the laptop out of the bag as always, could leave the battery in. No problems, went right through.

I just went hiking with it this past weekend. At the end of the hike, I was sweating, and felt a lot of sweat on my back. But its a very comfortable pack. However, it lacks space for TONS of camera gear for long trips. So, be warned that if you want this trip to go cross country, its not going to store much more than a camera and a lens in the padded area. In the main compartment, stuff will move around quite a bit. So, plan carefully.

not without an adapterwhy get a lighter body and still haul around heavy lenses? I now carry 2 e-m5 with a 3rd lens in my bag, I am ready for anything, with less weight than I was carrying with just one body and the bigger heavier lens.

That's exactly how I carried mine. clipped to my backpack with a carabiner turned upside down. so the flashlight & holder hang from the wider end of the carabiner:)

Janice..I am not sure what you mean by carry the vompartments? The two individual sections are not set up to detach and carry. Hope this helps.

You might check out the Osprey Porter 46. It is a larger bag, but has two buckle positions which allow it to compress well for small loads. Suspension is not as sophisticated as the Farpoint but it's OK.

Yes, my friend took two rifles on our trip to Africa. No problem. I took two rifles and two cases, paid for the extra luggage !!Needless to say bought one as soon as I got home !! Enjoy

I really haven't used it for that. I carry it over my shoulder but don't hike or walk around with it a lot. But it seems to be very accessible. And it feels comfortable the way I carry it. Doesn't slip off.
