The review reports that the Whistler is quite heavy for its size and that its chunky waist strap cannot be removed. Velcro dividers let the reviewer configure the main camera compartment for varied photo and video equipment or a drone setup. The rear full-length zip offers more secure camera access and lets the reviewer place the bag front-down on wet ground while retrieving gear.
Removing the partition between the photo and daypack sections allows the reviewer to carry a camera fitted with a particularly long lens. A large front compartment gives the reviewer room for winter extras such as a snow shovel or essentials for other seasons.
