We made the Bertik big enough to fit an 500mm tele (without camera mounted, of course) and still complies to the regulations for most airlines to take it with you as hand luggage.
The tapered-model looks a lot less bulky although it will give you plenty of room for a lot of gear. While the inside is fully velcro-looped, the dividers (11 in 3 sizes) and the removable pouches (5 in two sizes) gives you all the possible freedom to fit it to your gear.
The pack sports two large compartments and is opening on the backside to keep your carrying system clean and dry and to have very easy access. Even with the rain cover fitted.
The front pocket is roomy and a laptop and accessories find enough room. However, we do not encourage permanently store a laptop in a pack with your camera gear because the heavy photo equipment and a vulnerable laptop are a tricky couple. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you…)
We improved the over-all design on quite some points.

The sizes of Bertik II are within the regulations of most airliners. Most of the time the weight will be more of a point of discussion. This is and always will be a fact of life. It’s up to your diplomatic behaviour – there is no way to tell up forehand what will happen.
Since the bag is made of fabric and foam and not from plywood, these sizes have some margin. If you wonder if your gear will fit in – feel free to ask.
If you wonder why the outer/inner size of depth of the bag differs so much more than the outer/inner size of the height: we have added the size of the shoulder straps and hip belt to be secure.
