Been there, done that. My Mindshift's water pocket is actually below the camera storage and waistpack.

You may want to check out the Adventure Photography Back Packs by ClikElite. I bought one of their Escape series seversl years ago. It has an external hydration bladder pocket with drain that is against your back. The waist belt is designed similar to those of quality back packs, that is to say the majority of the weight is carried on your hips, not your shoulders.
I use Platypus Big Mouth Zip Bladders, easy to clean, and load with ice.
I use it when hiking in the Sierra's to photograph waterfalls etc.
It will handle a FF Body (my 60D with Battery Grip is equivalent to FF in size). I can carry my 60D with Sigma 150-500 mounted in this pack.
BTW I have a herniated L5-S1 Disc, so I spent quite a bit of time investigating photography back packs.
Mountain Smith used to have a nice Butt Pack with optional shoulder strap set up, but wouldn't fit my camera with battery grip, but great for shorter hikes traveling light.

Depending on time and money you might enjoy using a Peak Design Capture Camera Clip

I do. Honestly, with the rotating waist pack on the Mindshift Evolution, your camera is stored in a cushioned back that you can access in about 30 sec. With the Peak Capture Clip, I always worries about taking a fall and landing on the Nikon.

Although I have only attempted light painting on one occasion I would say that it would depend on the intensity and width of your light source. Being a total neophyte I found it necessary to experiment with strokes and duration to achieve any semblance of acceptance. My first effort.
Effate, very satisfactory results for your first attempts at light painting. What process did you use? Thanks for sharing.....Cliff
