🇲🇦 Bird photography in extreme heat - Marrakesh, Morocco 🇲🇦
I spent a few days of my holiday last summer in Marrakech. Weather was blazing hot, with temperatures ranging from 40°C-45°C. I got so lucky, that I got to stay at a place where the residents have been feeding the local birds and thus I got a few nice shots of some first timers, right on my doorstep.

I ordered the Godox Movelink II M2 microphone kit to see if they are on par with the Rode microphones. For now, I`ve only done the unboxing, but hopefully will get to test them soon in the field too.

I have watched a documentary about it and the birds on the island and was hoping to see some or all of them. Tune in to see what I managed to find!

    With eurowings 'basic' you can only bring a 40x30x25cm bag. I can't find that exact dimension online so this Metz 20L bag should do the job. Wonder how many days I can pack with it tho..

    Enormously helpful, thank you. So I'm hoping, after four months, you might be able to advise on the durability and quality. Not sure the zips look that strong? I'm planning of travelling around south east Asia later in the year for several months with only one bag. One of the reasons I was attracted to this brand is that they claim they only weigh 0.7kg. Did they impress you with their lightness? I'm wondering if I focus too much on lightness I might end up having to buy a replacement while I'm away? Would really welcome your advice.

    • @normanzjames
      @normanzjames 2 года назад

      I`m glad I helped! Interesting question, I ddin`t actually weigh them (will keep this in mind though if I do any more comparisons in the future). I won`t be able to advise much on durability (quality seems pretty good though), as I haven`t really travelled since I bought it (well, I only travelled once, but had to take a checked bag along), but I will surely give an update when/if/after I used it 🙂

  • @JaninaElyse
    @JaninaElyse 2 года назад

    I see you chose the grey one, but I wonder if you might have tried a carabiner clip to attach a water bottle to the one without the holder/pocket? Anyway, thanks for the review! 😎

    • @normanzjames
      @normanzjames 2 года назад

      You're welcome🙂 the reason, why I rejected that idea from the start is that the bottle would have been hanging around and slapping on and off the backpack-which would have been really annoying, especially during long walks

      @JaninaElyse 2 года назад

      @@normanzjames oh yes! That would be annoying for sure, makes perfect sense. 👍🏻 I’ve always wondered how practical those loops for hanging things with carabiners actually are. I like stuff contained too so have not used them either. Cheers and thanks for responding! 😎

    I bought the Metz back in March. I' ve been to a 3 days trip with ryanair in may, this month i travelled with wizzair and volotea for 9 days (here i packed for 5 days, and i washed my clothes once, ) I compressed my clothes in two big cosmetic bags - i used them as two packing cubes. My only electronic devices were: phone, charger, power bank, cable for the power bank. No laptop. On my shorter trip i could fit a 750 ml water bottle and extra food too (i have special dietary needs unfortunately) . For the longer trip i added an extension to the backpack, a tactical water botter holder, that can be dettached, so i could utilize all internal space. (No airlines complained about that) So i think you can definitely pack for 5+ days, if you are a short person with not too big clothes. I saw in a youtube review of a German guy, that for him the Manhattan seemed bigger. He packed a laptop + clothes+ a book. He said that the disadvantage of the metz is that it is difficult to fill the space under the zipper section. In the metz the zipper does not run all around the sides, but it starts about 5 CMs from the bottom. That 5 cm section is difficult to fill, and you might lose some space there. (I can confirm this, after inserting my packing cubes, i needed to fill the gaps in that area with other items i carried.. I bought the Metz because of the bigger front compartment. I usually carry multiple tiny stuff that I need quick access to (tissue paper, female hygine products, lipbalm, medicine, chewing gum, snacks, whatever tiny stuff i would put in a handbag... ), so for me it looked more practical that i don't have to open the big compartment evertime i needed something, but I had my tiny stuff separated in the small compartment. However, i have to say that with a laptop and camera gear probably the Manhattan is better. I am still considering buying the Manhattan as well. I just don't know if it is worth it..

I travelled on 10 flights so far, ryanair, volotea, wizzair, airfrance, no complain about the attached water bottle pouch so far. Sorry for grammar mistakes, i am not a native speaker.
