From my experience, these hiking packs should be paired with two other smaller squarish camera bags that can be slotted onto the hip belts for quick access on location. This solution also offers a better load balance. Some people use the mesh side pockets to store lenses/accessories but that does not work for me.
do you have any specific examples of the hip packs that you like?
I think some backpack makers have a lumbar section of the bag that can swing around to the front. Can’t remember where I saw that. Though, I wonder if separate actual belt bags would be better anyway.
It’s Mindshift, their first bag featured the lumbar bag integrated into a traditional bag. I had the biggest model. It wasn’t as good of an idea in practice. I had to constantly adjust the hip belt to get a good load transfer. If the lumbar bag is loaded too much, the darn thing would sag uncomfortably to work it smoothly. Bad ventilation, heavy and expensive.
I am currently using two cheap Decathlon camera bags. They are designed to be slip onto the hip belt as well. They are small enough to prevent overloading. You can check out this thread to see more recommendations: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65723583
