You might also want to look into the Lowe Pro  Slingshot series
 and the new Fastpack series if you are looking for lots of mobility
and/or quick access.

I use the 200AW Slingshot for quick access to digital camera/lenses
as well as HD video camera.  I can easily attach a small Gitzo
carbon fiber tripod directly to the pack by sliding it through a
couple of high tech (hypalon?) outside attachment points,
and this does not hinder the slingshot action of slipping
the pack around in front for quick access to gear.

A light stand should fit easily as well, although I haven't tried it.

Here's a youtube of the new Fastpack and Flipside models.
