## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this bag fit as carry on once fully loaded with gear?**
A: I have flown with it as carry on several times.  It definitely is not an issue for the overhead bins.  Under the seat is a little tight on some of the carriers like KLM. Delta and American have been okay.  I just make sure not to over pack the front pocket.

**Q: Can the alta rise 38 hold a tripod like the Peak Design messenger bag?**
A: Definitely no! It hasn’t any external strap for tripod.

**Q: Will the alta rise 48 backpack hold a 15.6" notebook computer?  what are the internal dimensions?**
A: Yes it will pretty snug. Width wise you're fine but where it will be close is length. This backpack can be configured so many different ways that a 15" computer fits, you just may have to configure it to your liking. I fit 2 five inch freestyle drones, fatshark goggles, a transmitter, batteries, tools and a 13 MacBook pro all fits with ease

**Q: Can the alta rise 38 hold a tripod like the Peak Design messenger bag?**
A: You can strap it on the outside, strap one leg in on the side pocket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 18 February 2023*

I bought the Alta rise 48. It is difficult to find all of the above attributes in a camera bag. It is even more rarer to find one with side access. I am able to fit in a 150-600 mm + body, 11-20 mm + body, a 24-70 f4, 50mm 1.8, a blower with room to spare. There is still room in the top compartment for a tech pouch with space for camera and laptop charger. Extremely well made. Many backpacks don't come with a waist belt. This one does. Perfect for my needs. Highly recommended. Small gripe - the zipper pulls are black and not easily visible. I bought inexpensive yellow zipper pulls and attached to the zips. It gives a nice accent to the overall look besides the convenience of easily getting to the zips.
