The design of the Manfrotto Pro Light 3n1-36 Camera backpack is fairly similar to other camera backpacks on the market with its ability to have a top, front and side opening but with the option to be fully open like a suitcase, which includes the top section. This leads to one of several design flaws of this camera backpack in my opinion, as these flaws makes this more of a bag that needs to be handled with care, for your equipment’s sake.

Opening the front fully means you need to consider the equipment you have loaded at the top compartment in case it falls out, so that means you need to position the bag with the top section close to your body. When you decide to open the bottom front section, due to the flap opening from the bottom, means you also need to consider the equipment you have loaded in the bottom compartment in case it falls out. So, precaution must be taken when fully opening the front of the backpack while it is upright or laid flat on the ground.

Equipment may fall out when opening the top compartment of the backpack when it is laid flat on the ground.

Bottom compartment opens from the bottom which may result in equipment falling out when accessing the backpack when it is upright.

The small front cover hinge being permanently on one side, means that you are unable to open the front in a way that you can at least mimic a jewellery box with the lid open and all 4 side walls closed so that equipment in the top compartment would not fall out. Not having a hinge at all and making the front cover fully removable may be better, so that you can configure the way you open it using the zippers. 

If the hinge was not there, you could open this further while only leaving the top section of the front cover where the top handle is, attached to the main body with the zipper, so that equipment would not fall out of the top compartment and you can access it like an open luggage.
