Which Backpack

(of course personally I like think tank, but they don't make a bag exactly like you're asking. The closest they make is the Rotation 360º)

Stealthy Ninja: Checked out their website; and as you said... They don't make a bag, like I'm looking for.

Exchanged it for Tamrac's 3380 Aero 80. My D700 coupled to Tamron's 28-75 f/2.8 fits well and does not turn or move. However, the Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 fits a bit tight vertically. I hope this is not detrimental to my lens. Otherwise I am happy with this backpack.
Will use the top compartment to carry a light lunch box.
The Adventure 9 is not available at the moment in Dubai; so couldn't check this out.
So the Tamrac 3380 Aero 80 is my bag for now...
Thanks to all who posted on this topic.

A strong word of caution.
If you forget to close the camera storage section and there is a lens in [even if tight fit] there is a strong chance of the lens falling out. I learnt this the hard way. My 80-200 f/2.8 lens fell out ont the floor while I was lifting the bag. 'Fortunately', I repeat 'fortunately', it was a few inches off the ground.
Tamrac should have provided a restraining velcro strap; just as they have provided for the section where the camera sets.
