Manfrotto 3n1? I have one and I can fit my 200-500 on the camera, several lenses and other gear. It has a pocket for a laptop too. I can fit my 17in but it’s a little snug. It can be configured as a sling,both left or right shoulder, a backpack with x strap configuration or regular. I paid $130 on Amazon. I have a think tank sling ( slingback think it’s called ) that fits the 70-200 or 300 and several smaller lenses but a a laptop would have to be small. Videos on both of them on YouTube. Happy Shooting!

Does it come with a built-in forklift?

I have the Lowepro Pro 250 AW. It's a good size, comfortable, with movable partitions.

It would help if you identified the two you didn't like.

That’s funny! No forklift but I have a van that handles a ton so I’™m all set! But you’™re right the more you put in it the bigger burden it becomes. I use it for transport in the car or a plane and when I go out to shoot I wear a harness for the camera and a belt for the extras. They’™re exposed but it’s the least amount of weight.

Just a couple of suggestions:
1. Make sure it has a padded waist belt.
2. Make sure it has a chest strap that loops around the shoulder straps as opposed to sliding up and down a round thing sewn into the shoulder strap. My experience is that these pull off too easily. If your choice of pack has that kind of chest strap, purchase a chest strap separately or make one.
