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.
