Being from Chicago, I can confirm we all use bags like this 😁

I do use inserts like that in my camera bag, however mine are discontinued Timbuk2 inserts into a Peak Design Everyday Carry backpack. Same concept but with smaller inserts I can have 2: one for my body, leash and batteries, and one insert for my 3 lenses.

TL/DR: I don't have this bag but the system is sound from a good brand.

I just took this bag to Iceland and Greenland for vacation. The insert is held in by friction, but it's quite snug. Downside is you can't pull it out easily, upside is it won't fall out easily. The tripod straps and pocket worked well, too. There were no manufacturing defects, everything looked finished well. At this price, would recommend.

I didn't use the strap for the insert, used PGY Tech quick connects instead so I could just have one camera strap to use on the camera or the bag. With the strap attached, the insert was too hard to get in and out.

This bag actually looks like it was inspired by the Peak Design Everyday Backpack to me, but with a removable divider.

Since it doesn't have a waist strap, could it cause shoulder pain when fully loaded?
Also, same price on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-...B083TXHYMZ Its price history on CCC is rather interesting though...

In the bulleted Details:
VERSATILE AND MULTI-PURPOSE The camera unit is completely removable so the backpack could also be used as a city travel bag

In the Product Description paragraph (further down in the page):
...and a rain cover is also supplied in case of extreme weather conditions

The B&H one seems to be sold out?

On Amazon, their AI bot Rufus (love that name) says:

"Based on the product information, the Manfrotto Chicago Small Backpack 30 does come with an insert. The removable photo insert allows the backpack to switch between a photography backpack and a lifestyle backpack. When removed, the internal camera unit can be used as a shoulder bag for photography gear.

This functionality is mentioned in the product description which states, "Its removable photo insert make it extremely versatile you can switch from a 100% photography to a 100% lifestyle backpack in just a second. The internal camera unit can be taken out and used as a shoulder bag when you only need your photography gear."

There is no conflicting information from customer reviews about the inclusion of this removable insert."
