Ha! You get used to it when you’re in it everyday. Just stay hydrated and cover up as much as you can. And find a good reason to be out!

Yeah I'd recommend it if budget allows. You could fit 10 days worth of clothing in the main compartment easily.

No, this is a compression bag from granite gear.

I didn’t realize you could remove the foam! I’m very pleased with this pack. I hope you go somewhere cool! I’ll be taking mine into the Grand Canyon.

@@MaranaVisuals Grand Canyon will be great. I’ve never been but it’s on the list. Some day. I’m in the north east so Poconos area for me normally!

@@andrewfitzpatrick9799 it’s beautiful there. I grew up in Westchester county NY. Much different out east that’s for sure.

No, it’s a limitation of the sensor unfortunately.

@@MaranaVisuals thank you for your reply. I always wondered about this.

@@Kryzvlogs hoping the S1Hii drops this year.

Thanks for the sub! You as well 🌡️🥵

Absolutely agree about the hat. My wife has one and she wears it all the time. I need to get one too. Since moving to Tucson I’ve learned so much about heat safety. Thanks for the comment!

I could do that for sure. They’re just totally different cameras for different purposes but I might just do that!

Honestly it’s just a little challenging getting the F6 into the bag, that’s why there isn’t footage of that. Appreciate the feedback.

Sorry, forgot vertical! As a professional videographer I often forget that most people actually are wanting vertical for their daily needs.

I'm not sure. I have some foam windscreens on them but they could definitely benefit from better wind protection. Kind of hard when they're right next to your ears though.

@@MaranaVisuals i agree.. i was a beta tester for the new bubblebee wind protection for that size you should check them out they just came out!

Well, when you compare it to the two minutes it takes me to strike my regular tent, it's a big difference. The RTT always winds up a soaking and freezing cold mess.

I'm not really sure. It may be an S1h mark ii but no idea when that might come out. I really think the S5iiX is the best value you can get at this price range. There are compromises at every price point.

Good! What did you ultimately decide to go with?

The points you made in this video really resonated with me, so I decided to just use more of the tent I had, which saved me money and time. Thank you so much! 👍

Good to know.

Yeah absolutely. It's a flawed design but you can get around it.

Yup, it's a pretty good system.

While i hear your complaints and understand let me just give you some counterpoints. If they put a display of the same size on the top you couldn’t rig anything there, certainly not a large top handle. They’d have to shrink the screen and you’d need a monitor anyway. Very similar to how nearly every single other box camera operates. There is an iris/control wheel on the side. Personally I’m planning to get one and also grab a video assist as well as the EVF for shoulder rigging.

It’s actually just $400 more than the full frame cinema cam.

Dang! I thought I got mine one May 1st. I guess it's more like an 11 month review! I take it all back then.

Nice! That sounds perfect. I've been looking at this solution as well.

That’s what I was thinking there are so many adaptors. I mean people want every thing perfect for a $2000 6k pro res raw camera that also shoots 96mp photos lol

Nope! I was going to shoot in ProRes but decided against it. Straight out of the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera.

Thank you! Cheers!

If you are in AF-C, the exposure will not lock when half-pressing the shutter button. In AF-S, the exposure does lock on half-press. I could not find an option on my S5 II to change that behavior.

@@KendallLartigue Thank you so much ! - that really helped , although I used AF-S a lot :)

@@KendallLartigue Hopefully they will update their firmware to Nikon and Sony standards.

They’re always working hard on firmware updates it seems

@@KendallLartigue from all the people I posted this question too you are the only one who actually knew. I use AF-C + AEL button > Custom > AF lock ... but Nikon and Sony cameras are doing it via settings in AF-S mode without the need to push additional buttons.

What are the stakes? If you’re a solo filmmaker then yeah, you’ll be fine. You might get some rolling shutter artifacts. As long as you aren’t doing whip pans all the time it should be ok. In a year or use I’ve never had to scrap footage because of it. If you can’t have rolling shutter you’ll have to pony up the cash for a global shutter camera at 3-5x the price.

What did you wind up going with? To be clear, you still have auto focus, it just isn’t phase detect. I’m really hoping for a new more premium flagship to come out and then this can be the B-cam.

@@MaranaVisuals I was looking for a more flexible travel camera, mainly for Video but some stills and decided that whilst I love so many of the features, stabilisation being just one one, if it’s phasing in and out in those conditions then it does not really matter about the other features if it’s out of focus.

@@Coatsey007 honestly this was my fault. I had it selected for AFC autofocus so it kept looking for a new target. I almost always have it on AFS and it is always locked on. Sometimes you just don’t want to reshoot a third time.

As far as auto focus it’s brilliant it’s a newer camera and most people haven’t a clue how to maximize the auto focus. I mean they just released a new update and people are not going to master the auto focus so soon. Trust me it’s user error

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.

This one as 950 all down. My guess is that my compression sack is actually a bit large to fully take advantage of this. Western Mountaineering also makes an incredible bag.

I sure did. In the second part you can actually hear wind, but not wind disturbance on the capsule. That’s how I should have phrased it.

Perhaps you didn’t listen all the way through. The first part of the video shows what happens when recorded with no protection into a phone.

Heaviest items should not be towards the top. I have tent/sleeping bag towards the top of the pack for this setup.

What I mean is that mountaineering backpacks usually put the weight on the top to increase the center of gravity, and the belt is mainly used to bear the weight, reducing the pressure on the shoulders. This bag is not designed as a mountaineering bag, maybe can try it with a similar concept. @@MaranaVisuals

I don’t really ever bother with campfires. The few times I have found myself in this scenario I just don’t get super close or if I’m putting wood on I do so carefully as to not send up a stream of sparks. It’s inevitable that you will wind up putting a patch on the jacket. Had mine for 4 years and have been lucky. The previous one I had for 5 years and had just one small hole.

Thanks! I believe the shooting interval was every 20 seconds either the exposure set for 15 seconds.

I don’t have it anymore but if memory serves there really wasn’t a ton of extra room.

Agreed! I had their Epic a while ago but that was too large for what I needed and at the time it wasn’t offered with different torso sizes and that really can make all the difference.

@@MaranaVisuals I also have their Epic XT 2.0. I really like some of the features and recently used it for a multiday ultra race: great pack but I agree with you - it's often too big unless you need to carry a lot of gear. The one-size-fit-most was also my main gripe about it. I heard they might release a new pack of around 20 liters (roughly 1200 c.i.) sometime this year. They mention it in this video at minute 21: ruclips.net/video/fIZL5sLI2vI/видео.html Their Epic XT 3.0 is now offered in two sizes so the new pack might also be available in different sizes.

Yeah that would be nice!

You’re welcome! I love this piece. I live in Tucson now and I’ve worn this for all my morning runs.

I'll add that to the laundry list of things I did wrong on this trip.

No but it would have in a heavy rain or high wind. There was quite a noticeable gap.

Yup it should be fine.

Hey! Sorry, I actually don't own this anymore so I can't help you out.

Sold that hog as soon as you found out what a pain in the ass vs versatility eh?

@@mckeem1080 bingo. Rooftop tents are cool but…well, you’ll find out the shortcomings soon enough.

The tent has been amazing and yeah I've still got it. I've been very happy with it. I had a weird zipper issue it was able to resolve it without needing any warranty service. I would highly recommend it for 4 season winter camping. You won't be sorry.

@@MaranaVisuals I went for it. Already have a night spent in it and loved it. Looking forward to the next trip out. Thank you!🙏🏼

Glad I could help!

Yes there is and you can even buy an extension for the annex to provide more vertical room.

I’m 5’11 190 wearing a large.

It doesn’t have a ton of structure. I’d recommend the Fstop Luka pack. I’ve actually got a video of that one. Not sure exactly what your needs are but that is the perfect small pack for camera gear.

You could fit a very small jacket into the water bottle holder. Nothing that would be winter weight. I also wouldn't use the attachment straps to secure a jacket. You'd want to also carabiner the jacket onto one of the straps so it couldn't fall out. This is oddly a very photography centric design that I can't picture working well for other uses. The design really is intended to sit on your back while in the biking position. I have walked around with it a bit while off the bike but I wouldn't hike with it.

@@MaranaVisuals thanks! Cycling jackets are usually designed to be packable and small as they are very form fitting. I think that might be a deal breaker for me, if I can't make it dual purpose for hiking. Your comment did help me make a decision, I ended up getting the camel back Mule 5.

Glad you found it useful! I haven't been using this bag much because of it.
