There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I have been searching and searching online and cannot quite find the solution I am looking for so I am hoping that someone on Massdrop may be able to point me in the right direction. I travel frequently for vacation/work and often have more devices on me that necessary at any one time, but important for the full extent of my travels.
I often travel with my essentials:
- Macbook Pro 15"
- Work Laptop 13"
- Power Source (30kmAh brick)
- DSLR + 1-2 lenses
- Various chargers/cables/etc.
- 15" tripod (if I am going someone I can explore)
I currently have a backpack that could accommodate all of the above, but not without some Tetris skills coming into play. If I were to create my own perfect solution, it would include a single, padded DSLR location with a quick-grab zipper, two padded sleeved style compartments closest to the back for laptops, and another compartment for whatever else - keys, wallet, etc.The most challenges I am running into online is that most backpacks describes as above are either designed with a full-time photographer (multiple DSLRs and 4+ lenses) or backpacker (2000+ci.) in mind. I am really looking for something that is an easy-grab, take on the plane, conservative looking backpack.
Thank you in advance for any recommendations! I understand something like this may not exist so I am willing to make compromises or reset my expectations.
