Great review! Really wanted the multi, but went with the PMK nomatic 35 instead. That could have def been reviewed here if it was out at the time, side note. A lot of these bags under full load do not carry right, the straps and especially where they sit on your back, the length and shape of your back determine that. So a longer bag that can cover your full spine will feel soooo much more supportive and actually many pounds lighter even when it isn’t. I’m 6’3 and hate big bags but can’t deny how much more comfortable they are it’s ridiculous. I had the WANDRD, absolutely loved the styling, fit an insane amount of gear although hated the roll top design, but when it was under weight it was sooo uncomfortable compared to the larger nomatic.
I tell everyone about the Incase DSLR Pro backpack! Hands down the best, most versatile and comfortable design I’ve ever owned. Can fit my Canon Dslr, 4-6 lenses, 15” MBP and and a tripod through the loops. Best investment.
A fine review. I like the look of the Incase, and I like the way the shoulder straps attach to the body of the bag without stressing the zipper of the large rear flap.
That's a HUGE table. Good job tossing Boundary Prima system out so quickly. It's truly awful as a camera backpack. I didn't think PD everyday backpack is as bad as you mentioned. I think they tried to do a smart thing to have it accessible from both sides and it kinda works sometimes. But the laptop compartment is hard to access for sure. I grow to hate all backpacks that don't have clamshell openings. In the end, I gave up looking for a camera backpack. I think it's more worthy looking for a great backpack and use inserts when carrying cameras.
Hate to say I fully agree how fast the Boundary bag was removed. Really wanted to love the bag overall myself but too bad I guess. The detachable verge bag however I absolutely love since the convertible waist strap to shoulder strap is great and since the bag is only really for a body and two lenses at most works really well in weight and strap comfort. Shame that it’d be ridiculous to sell everything but the verge case though.
Great video Desy, love this year’s update. I already have 9, maybe 10 camera bags - everything from Lowepro to Ona. It’s probably taken 8 previous purchases to finally work out what I truly need but as you say, there’s no perfect bag. Comfortingly, my short list had the Incase and the Protactic - both of which you seem quite partial to it seems. I’m curious to see some reviews of Lowepro‘s new FreeLine bag which looks like to meld the form factor of the Fastpack with the reworked side access/shelf system of the Peak Design. All things being well, I’ll just need to be ready to slip another bag purchase in without my wife noticing. Great work and production again Desy! 🙌🏼
This helped me in choosing the Protactic 450 for travel (went on a 1 month trip to Europe). What i needed was to bring the most equipment possible since i am a hybrid shooter (plus i also brought a medium format film camera) and this bag did the trick. I use the Wandrd Prvke 21L as my every day camera bag but i'm not a DSLR user (Fujifilm) so i never really walk around with much equipment (Xpro2 along with a Leica M6). Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your helpful content. I’m looking for a backpack eventually so it’s very helpful to hear your practical review. I also own a PD backpack and share similar opinions as you about its functionality. Thanks for your honesty which is greatly appreciated!
i just bought and am enjoying my ApeCase ACPro 4000. it’s a camera backpack (really big) with wheels. so it can be converted into a wheeled carry-on luggage. love it, so far. for travel.
Great video - I bought my LowePro Pro Tactic after seeing your older comparison - very much liked the update. ... and I have still the first Lowepro 250 Fastback I bought at a closing down sale for $50 - they last a ton. I also use a a Flipback 400 for Travel/Transport - It's the basic back-zip backpack they have and its quite spacious
I got a LoewePro ProTactic 450 and i got a terrible feeling that it actually is a Chinese knock-off. The quality is nothing like the older LoewePro I had. I have outed it only a couple of times and the zippers are giving trouble. The pockets are too slim to actually store anything other than your credit card. I got two PeakDesign bags and I feel my thinking goes along the same lines as the guys who designed them. ThinkTank Streetwalker is under consideration also but you need to lay it down on the ground to get your stuff out. Peak Design lets you just flip it on the side for access.
Great video. Good to know I made the right choice with the Wandrd Prvke (21 in my case). It was between that and the Protactic 350, but the flexibility of the Prvke sold me on it. Bummer to hear the Boundary bag is really that terrible. I was kind of afraid I was missing out on it having already bought the Wandrd, guess it was a blessing in disguise
Wandrd gets the #1 spot for me. I use it both for travel and everyday and I love how I can easily fit my camera inside as well as my everyday essentials. I also have the peak design but I agree with what you said; it just isn't that functional as an everyday bag. The only time I would prefer the peak design over the wandrd is when I would go on trips that require me to bring more camera gear and my drone. Other than that, the wandrd prvke is just a great well rounded bag.
love the wandrd! just wish they can improve the camera insert just a smidge.... if they made a version 2, that had the camera compartment more like the lowepro fastpack, that would be amazing! the fastpack is just so easy to unzip and open. oh well, fingers crossed!
Hi Dessy, thanks for the great review. I have used most of the bags you have there. What you should really check out, is the Mindshift Backlight 26L (sister comapny to Thinktank). It is for me, by far the best bag for day carry and travel. If you have a look at all the reviews online, you will find most Pro's saying that it is closest to the perfect bag. I have one now and I can agree. Good luck!
Best photo backpack review on youtube, finally someone telling the truth about the Peak Design, i was suspicious about all the trendy tech youtubers showing it in their videos...
What do you think of the Tenba DNA 15 backpack? I'm looking for a middle ground between an everyday backpack, Carry On, light travel backpack where I can toss clothes in but still remaining to bring my gears ( dual mirrorless + primes and others accessories like flashes & tripod). Looking for a durable and comfortable bag but remaining discrete. Would like to get your thoughts on this one. Cheers
Great videos on the Mindshift Backlight and Tubu 6070 backpacks. I own two ThinkTank bags (Airport Security V2 and Manager 40) so can only imagine that the Mindshift is very similar in quality with respect to the side panels and dividers. Just wondering what your thoughts are with respect to quality and durability of the Tubu backpack 6070 vs the Mindshift, especially the exterior shell and dividers. My Airport Security has a very stiff, well padded exterior shell which must incorporate a plastic layer in addition to the foam. Do the exterior shells of these backpacks also incorporate a stiffener of some sort or are they just more or less stiffer foam? The Mindshift prices near $250 and the Tubu is $80. Just wondering what I would be missing in the Tubu bag compared to the Mindshift? Thanks!
In the final talk of the video, where all the backpacks are there, the Lowepro ProTactic doesn't seem to be really bigger than the others, so for everyday use/traveling in cities, is its size a problem/akward ? Thank's for your videos !
Hi Desy. What is your opinion about NYA EVO FJORD 36? I am between this backpack and PRVK 31. Both are at the same price. I like both in terms of design. I like the side zip for the camera in PRVK 31 but I prefer the Cube box from NYA (the velcro diverters seem to be safer) . I own a D750 with 24-120 only and the main use will be for travelling and for everyday use (work).
Did you check the new Incase Camera Pro Pack? It looks like they improved on most things I thought DSLR pro pack lacked but they now have no water bottle holder anymore :-(
LOL no offense taken. Actually my colleagues and I had a really good laugh lol I'm about 5'8" and 185lbs. Soo I wouldn't say I'm 'small', more like medium!
How does the Lowepro ProTactic 450 work getting thru airport security and fitting in overhead plane bins? Great video by the way! Perfect timing because I am getting ready to go to Europe and I need a good big bag to stuff with gear, yet small enough to get as a carry on. Thanks!
ive taken it on a couple flights. Overhead compartment no problem. BUT if you attach pouches on the exterior it might get in the way. Should be fine though, i never had any issues with it
Funny how people have different tastes: The “trendy” ones looked the worst to me. :-) I actually bought the Lowepro Protactic 450 AW about 3 years ago. But I returned it the next day, because I didn't like it one bit. The quick access points are great, but if you want to change lenses, there's nothing quick about it. You can't really spin it around to your front like a flipside bag, so you'll have to get it off your back and lay it down. And if you've attached some external pouches and stuff, you might have to take those off first. And in spite of the fact that it was a lot larger than my old Lowepro Nova 5 shoulder bag, it wouldn't really hold any more of my gear. And still it felt really heavy and uncomfortable on my back. So instead I got a Lowepro Flipside 500 AW which is not only much cheaper, but also much better for my needs.
@@DesmondCheng Nice review of these backpacks, however, personally, I could care less about whether a bag is "trendy"...FUNCTIONALITY, build quality and Practicality are my main criteria. I find thinkTANKPhoto and MindShift Gear very high-quality build, water-resistant, and functional. Thanks!
nice review! just wanna ask for the wandrd, would the secret pocket dig into your back? coz i tried the nat geo walkabout backpack with a small back access and it’s so uncomfortable.
out of the bags from this video, the Wandrd and the Incase does... But this is an old video and my 2021 answer would be the F-STOP tilopa. Next would be the Think Tank Urban Access 15. Another favorite is the Brevite Runner/Jumper
I just got mine from Amazon based on this review and I'm not that happy about the wear ability. The straps are not comfortable and while knew there was no belt the chest strap is to high. Now I am 6'6" so I'm a big guy so maybe it's not so high for someone else. Bottom line it just doesn't feel comfortable and considering the price it should have been heads and tails above all others.
Not everyone has the same camera needs as you. I I need something along the lines of a boundary errant were I can store a mirrorless camera and a mavic air, but able to use it for gym, hiking, daily carry stuff. Saying the boundary is bad because it stores the least amount of gear might be a positive for someone else. 🤦♂️
the lowepro will let you have MORE gear. The peak design is only good if u dont want to set your bag down and you want to access stuff from side to side.... My vote is the lowepro
Incase DSLR Pro backpack is the best designed!!! Wish they make exactly same design with little deeper section for camera to hold filters, and higher quality materials and zippers. Been using for almost a year now. Recently, I got Shimoda 40L and I hate it. Just too overly designed and flaps all over, zippers everywhere. I wish I didn't throw the packing material and labels before I tried it. Only other backpack that is better built and almost as well designed is MindShift Gear Backlight 26L Backpack.
thanks! and with the camera attached, which one could you recomend me? I use it for film documentary and I need to have prepared for using it fast suring the day :)
I was eying the peak as a traveling backpack BUT it is way to heavy. these days more often than not there is no luggage included in your plane tickets, and if you are like me, you can make it work (you cry about the lenses you have to leave at home). what is a total no go is a backpack that weighs in at 2.04 kg (4.5 lbs.) 30L and 1.81 kg (4lbs) 20L. depending on your airline, you are looking at a 7kg - 10kg carry on allowance. if you can't bring it, there is no use worrying about functionality, let alone style.
Hey brotha! Your reviews have really been helping me refine my choices. I’m prettty vain LOL, so aesthetics do mean a lot to me. Have you ever looked in to burton bags? They don’t have a lot of features but I like the way they look, particularly the “focus” 30L model. Any input you have would mean the world. Thanks in advance!
The Langly one seems interesting. But then I looked up the newer Alpha Globetrotter and it's over a quarter of a thousand Dollars... Guess where my money is not going... -_- That kind of pricing is because they're like "designer" companies, isn't it? - If it said "Hama" on the label, it would have cost less than half of the 269 Dollars. I'm not looking to be fashionable, but functional. But for the life of me I can't find the type of bag that allows me to grab things from compartments while the camera is ON my back (or at least most of the time), which is why the Langly caught my eye. Then again, the Pro Tactic (which could be my kind of thing) is similar money, but looks like a turtle-shell... I guess the money went into materials and such. (I'm complaining, but I appreciate the extensive video. - I just can't find what I need. XD)
no unfortunately i didnt! but if its like the peak design, then... i wouldnt buy it... I NEED backzip or at the very least full front loading so I can get everything all at once.
Ugly... *sniff* UGLY! *cries self to sleep* (You should add our MindShiftGear Backlight in your next line up) *still crying* (But seriously, cheers for the include, Desy. *sniff* )
Send me the mindshift and I'll totally do a review! And yeah sorry.. just being totally honest! I have a bunch of your bags (speed racer, shape shifter, wired up 10, streetwalker harddrive), and I think they are the best made bags out of all of the brands. In fact, I think that the shape shifter v1 has THE BEST STRAPS out of any backpack I have ever tried. But they all have that 'camera bag' look to it. If you made the streetwalker hard drive backzip instead of front loading, with quick access (like the lowepro pro tactic), and made it look a bit more trendy (like the wandrd or langly), then you would have almost THE perfect bag! (hint hint!!) Just my opinion though! But yeah... send me the Mindshift =))))
It maybe not to everyones taste. But which bag has gear in it still ? Telling sign that he still has gear in it for this video. Obviously, most used bag when he has to "work" Cheers
Quite nice, i think you would like my music for your videos as well, perhaps you would be intersted to use my music for your next video? Keep up the good work!
One thing I'd say about the Protactic 450 AW is that, despite being the best designed bag here, it's HEAVY. And by heavy I mean 2 or 3 pounds heavier than most of the other bags here. For me, sadly, that's a dealbreaker. For long hikes this thing is absolutely out of the question.
I was gifted a Peak design bag and its easily the worst bag in my closet. Its uncomfortable and its trying too hard. With a few changes it could have been amazing.
Most extensive comparison video I've seen so far. Very helpful, thanks!
thanks!
Great review! Really wanted the multi, but went with the PMK nomatic 35 instead. That could have def been reviewed here if it was out at the time, side note.

since makign this video, my new goto camera backpacks is the Tenba Axis V2 24L and the Nanuk NPVD 30

Bought incase bag pack based on this review. THANK YOU! I've been using this bag for about 3 months and it is amazing.
awesome! i just bought the new incase one that's like huge! will do a review of it soon!
A fine review. I like the look of the Incase, and I like the way the shoulder straps attach to the body of the bag without stressing the zipper of the large rear flap.
That's a HUGE table.
Good job tossing Boundary Prima system out so quickly. It's truly awful as a camera backpack.

Shame that it’d be ridiculous to sell everything but the verge case though.
I really like the look of the prima system ☹️ and it has a removable waist strap ☹️ maybe with the m1 camera cube its better?
Love the Wandrd 21, agree the peak design is too heavy and not easy to access. Do love the PD sling for touristy day trips.
This video again is like the answer I ve been looking for many years. best review ever!
yay!
glad i could help

thanks! haha ur like mee... too many bags!
That Lowepro bag is so useful. I hav bought a ton of bags. The lowepro works great for international travel. You can carry gear and travel essentials.
yup!
Seriously impressed at how much you fit in this video, thanks for your input!
no problemo!

Thank you so much for the reviews! They were really helpful! Also, I really liked the way you concluded the video. Thanks again!
Fantastic review especially with the wide range of brands and the different categories, cheers.

Great video - I bought my LowePro Pro Tactic after seeing your older comparison - very much liked the update. ... and I have still the first Lowepro 250 Fastback I bought at a closing down sale for $50 - they last a ton.

Excellent video! Very helpful to hear about all of these different bags side by side. Thanks a lot for making this review!
Were you about to say "15" external hard drive"?... That's old school. ;P
You gotta check out Shimoda backpacks. They have the back panel open sideways.
thanks will check it out!
Wandrd gets the #1 spot for me. I use it both for travel and everyday and I love how I can easily fit my camera inside as well as my everyday essentials. I also have the peak design but I agree with what you said; it just isn't that functional as an everyday bag. The only time I would prefer the peak design over the wandrd is when I would go on trips that require me to bring more camera gear and my drone.

Have you tried the Compagnon Explorer + ? Seems like a higher quality Prvke and with side access on the right side! But it's so expensive!
Hi Dessy, thanks for the great review. I have used most of the bags you have there. What you should really check out, is the Mindshift Backlight 26L (sister comapny to Thinktank).

I would also like to hear your thoughts on the Atlas Packs backpacks. I think your reviews are very good and detailed. Great work!
You can now try the Peak Design Travel Bag
Best photo backpack review on youtube, finally someone telling the truth about the Peak Design, i was suspicious about all the trendy tech youtubers showing it in their videos...
I have it... It is an OKAY bag. It leaves a lot to be desired.
Probs the best hands on review I've seen so far. But PLEASE do your self a favor and get a nice microphone.
I just got the lowepro flipside aw II 300 And it's great
yup its a great bag! i havent had a chance to use it, but hoping i get sent it soon!
These all look really huge. Do any of them fit under the seat of a plane comfortably?
wandrd prvke, boundary, and incase will. as long as they are not packed really full
What do you think of the Tenba DNA 15 backpack? I'm looking for a middle ground between an everyday backpack, Carry On, light travel backpack where I can toss clothes in but still remaining to bring my gears ( dual mirrorless + primes and others accessories like flashes & tripod). Looking for a durable and comfortable bag but remaining discrete. Would like to get your thoughts on this one. Cheers
Great videos on the Mindshift Backlight and Tubu 6070 backpacks.

I like the side zip for the camera in PRVK 31 but I prefer the Cube box from NYA (the velcro diverters seem to be safer) . I own a D750 with 24-120 only and the main use will be for travelling and for everyday use (work).
unfortunately i havent used the bag so i cant offer too much of my opinion!
If the Streetwalker had side access and a full zip on the back instead of the front, it would be perfect.
check out the urban access 15 from think tank! that one has side access =)
Will you give wandrd prvke a go for everyday camera bagpack
i tried it but unfortunately the langly alpha globetrotter wins as my every day bag!
Did you check the new Incase Camera Pro Pack? It looks like they improved on most things I thought DSLR pro pack lacked but they now have no water bottle holder anymore :-(
That table is fantastic! Great review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you so much for these reviews!! I have a question, and I don't mean any offense by this, but are you a small person? The bags all appear huge!
LOL no offense taken. Actually my colleagues and I had a really good laugh lol
I'm about 5'8" and 185lbs. Soo I wouldn't say I'm 'small', more like medium!
I need one that can put a tripod (Mini Weifeng WT-3111) inside. Any suggestion?
try the peak design travel backpack, or the incase camera pro pack (the larger one)
very informative and helpful. Thank you
Are you planning on doing another one of these since it's been just over a year?? Also please review Mission Workshop Integer bag! 😄
Probably not unfortunately, too little time! if u send me the bag ill do a review!
What do you think about the Thule Covert DSLR Rolltop Backpack?
Desy Cheng this is exactly the point!
How does the Lowepro ProTactic 450 work getting thru airport security and fitting in overhead plane bins? Great video by the way! Perfect timing because I am getting ready to go to Europe and I need a good big bag to stuff with gear, yet small enough to get as a carry on. Thanks!
ive taken it on a couple flights. Overhead compartment no problem. BUT if you attach pouches on the exterior it might get in the way. Should be fine though, i never had any issues with it
Thanks for replying and the info! I appreciate it! Just ordered it!
Is it too heavy to travel?
Funny how people have different tastes: The “trendy” ones looked the worst to me. :-)
I actually bought the Lowepro Protactic 450 AW about 3 years ago. But I returned it the next day, because I didn't like it one bit. The quick access points are great, but if you want to change lenses, there's nothing quick about it. You can't really spin it around to your front like a flipside bag, so you'll have to get it off your back and lay it down. And if you've attached some external pouches and stuff, you might have to take those off first. And in spite of the fact that it was a lot larger than my old Lowepro Nova 5 shoulder bag, it wouldn't really hold any more of my gear. And still it felt really heavy and uncomfortable on my back. So instead I got a Lowepro Flipside 500 AW which is not only much cheaper, but also much better for my needs.
yeah i was going to get the flipside, but mindshift sent me their backlight 26L and love it so far!
@@DesmondCheng Nice review of these backpacks, however, personally, I could care less about whether a bag is "trendy"...FUNCTIONALITY, build quality and Practicality are my main criteria. I find thinkTANKPhoto and MindShift Gear very high-quality build, water-resistant, and functional. Thanks!
Incase has a brand new camera bag called “camera pro bag” is it a much different bag from the original one ?
wow that looks incredible! essentially it looks like the DLSR pro bag, but THICKER. And added compartment for C100, RED, DJI Mavic.... i want this
you should do an updated one!
i did!!! I called it the Ultimate Camera Backpack Guide & Review 2022/2023!
I gave this video a thumbs up because you also say that I could give you a thumbs down if I don't like it...
Just went on Amazon and found the Incase DSLR Pro for $55 dollars . Had to get it
thats a steal of a deal!
nice review! just wanna ask for the wandrd, would the secret pocket dig into your back? coz i tried the nat geo walkabout backpack with a small back access and it’s so uncomfortable.
no it doesnt really dig in there unless u fill it with stuff
Thumbnail got me. Subscribed :)
excellent!
Thank you! ❤️
stay tuned, ill be making a 2021 version of this!
参考になります。Thank you.
I have a crack a the best travel day pack....what do you think?
You should review hazard 4 camerabags and Vanquest trident 31.
I agree with ya :) awesome review and exactly what I needed
!
you have almost the same voice of Donnie Yen ! xD
haha thanks!
Which one has the cushiest straps?
out of the bags from this video, the Wandrd and the Incase does... But this is an old video and my 2021 answer would be the F-STOP tilopa. Next would be the Think Tank Urban Access 15. Another favorite is the Brevite Runner/Jumper
Manfrotto streetwear backpack 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the info. How comfortable is the incase backpack though? Is it any close to thinktank comfortability level?
surprisingly its pretty comfy! i took it on a trip to europe and not many complaints about it!
I just got mine from Amazon based on this review and I'm not that happy about the wear ability. The straps are not comfortable and while knew there was no belt the chest strap is to high. Now I am 6'6" so I'm a big guy so maybe it's not so high for someone else. Bottom line it just doesn't feel comfortable and considering the price it should have been heads and tails above all others.
YES! ty so much!
Between lowepro whistler 450 ii and mindshift backlight 36L?
probably the mindshift! i find the whistler kinda heavy
great video very helpful.
thanks! but my new fave bag is: ruclips.net/video/Ap25suQH138/видео.html

Could you review the Alpha Globtrotter from Langly?
Please kind to help me choose for lowepro 450 or peak design 30L for camera and travel ? Hopefully somene tell me :) thanks so much
the lowepro will let you have MORE gear. The peak design is only good if u dont want to set your bag down and you want to access stuff from side to side....
My vote is the lowepro
Great review!
I wonder why the Tubu wasn't on that list.
Incase DSLR Pro backpack is the best designed!!! Wish they make exactly same design with little deeper section for camera to hold filters, and higher quality materials and zippers. Been using for almost a year now. Recently, I got Shimoda 40L and I hate it. Just too overly designed and flaps all over, zippers everywhere. I wish I didn't throw the packing material and labels before I tried it. Only other backpack that is better built and almost as well designed is MindShift Gear Backlight 26L Backpack.
Another vote for the Mindshift 26L
Does it require a rain cover?
William G yes. Incase sells separately.
In any of those fits the crane v2 assambled? Thanks! I'm desesperated looking for one :)
u can fit it (without camera attached) to the incase, mindshift backlight 26L, or the Langly Multipack
thanks! and with the camera attached, which one could you recomend me? I use it for film documentary and I need to have prepared for using it fast suring the day :)
What about the Vinta Type II ? do you plan to test it ?
Only if they send me one!
I was eying the peak as a traveling backpack BUT it is way to heavy. these days more often than not there is no luggage included in your plane tickets, and if you are like me, you can make it work (you cry about the lenses you have to leave at home). what is a total no go is a backpack that weighs in at 2.04 kg (4.5 lbs.) 30L and 1.81 kg (4lbs) 20L. depending on your airline, you are looking at a 7kg - 10kg carry on allowance. if you can't bring it, there is no use worrying about functionality, let alone style.
yeah im all about light weight!
Are your recommendations still the same?
I intended to buy Lowepro tactic 450 before but the weight scared me off
Think tank urban aproch 15 is the best if you are in the Sony a7iii size cameras area
I think there is an echo
Great job!!!
Hey brotha! Your reviews have really been helping me refine my choices. I’m prettty vain LOL, so aesthetics do mean a lot to me. Have you ever looked in to burton bags? They don’t have a lot of features but I like the way they look, particularly the “focus” 30L model. Any input you have would mean the world. Thanks in advance!
i have not used the burton bag yet but once i get my hands on one ill let u know my thoughts!
Desy Cheng much appreciated! Would also love to see your comments on that new Gitzo adventury backpack
@@josephalonsabe7633 send me one and ill do it =)
thank you so much for this video!
no problem! my new fave camera bag though: ruclips.net/video/Ap25suQH138/видео.html
Great video
I would love to see thule covert review!
send me one and ill do one! lol
Have you ever heard of the EVOC CP 26L, I have one on the way, not many reviews on it. I think you should check it out and maybe do a review.
thanks, if they sent me one, ill do it!
The Langly one seems interesting. But then I looked up the newer Alpha Globetrotter and it's over a quarter of a thousand Dollars... Guess where my money is not going... -_- That kind of pricing is because they're like "designer" companies, isn't it? - If it said "Hama" on the label, it would have cost less than half of the 269 Dollars.
I'm not looking to be fashionable, but functional. But for the life of me I can't find the type of bag that allows me to grab things from compartments while the camera is ON my back (or at least most of the time), which is why the Langly caught my eye.
Then again, the Pro Tactic (which could be my kind of thing) is similar money, but looks like a turtle-shell... I guess the money went into materials and such.
(I'm complaining, but I appreciate the extensive video. - I just can't find what I need. XD)
lowepro fastpack or flipside will be ur best bang for the buck!
really informative video! the echo was a little bit annoying, i always thought im in a church but there was no Wine! :-D
yeah one of the downfalls of filming in such a big space!
Tried the Lowepro whistler?
no seems a bit big and heavy
Don't Sleep on the BREVITE Jumper bag (price, quality, and size, for us rookies)
i actually made a video on the jumper already =). Love it!
Owned a Peak Design Backpack.
1. Bag itself is heavy.
2. Divider is a mess and flimsy.
Why am I here...
You didn't grab the new Lowpro FreeLine BP 350 which would be a great bag to compare these too.
no unfortunately i didnt! but if its like the peak design, then... i wouldnt buy it... I NEED backzip or at the very least full front loading so I can get everything all at once.
I'm just looking for an actual "travel" bag that I can carry some gear and some clothes for actual traveling
wandrd prvke 31!
No Fstop gear??
Send me one and I'll do a review !
Desy Cheng wish I had the power to 😂
Ugly... *sniff* UGLY! *cries self to sleep* (You should add our MindShiftGear Backlight in your next line up) *still crying* (But seriously, cheers for the include, Desy. *sniff* )
Send me the mindshift and I'll totally do a review!
And yeah sorry.. just being totally honest! I have a bunch of your bags (speed racer, shape shifter, wired up 10, streetwalker harddrive), and I think they are the best made bags out of all of the brands. In fact, I think that the shape shifter v1 has THE BEST STRAPS out of any backpack I have ever tried. But they all have that 'camera bag' look to it. If you made the streetwalker hard drive backzip instead of front loading, with quick access (like the lowepro pro tactic), and made it look a bit more trendy (like the wandrd or langly), then you would have almost THE perfect bag! (hint hint!!)
Just my opinion though! But yeah... send me the Mindshift =))))
Desy Cheng the Backlight is almost the bag you describe. I’ll get you one over to try out.. black or green?
Please make the MindShift Backlight 18L available in Australia! Can't find any atm.
It maybe not to everyones taste. But which bag has gear in it still ? Telling sign that he still has gear in it for this video. Obviously, most used bag when he has to "work" Cheers
Awesome video
thanks!
Gday! I'm a half Filipino travel vlogger looking for amazing stories to tell anywhere in the world! Have you got any recommendations!?
Quite nice, i think you would like my music for your videos as well, perhaps you would be intersted to use my music for your next video? Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Would love to try it out!
Some great points - and it's true, there's no bag that does it all. I also agree that Peak Design bags are horrible to use - and *ugly*!
One thing I'd say about the Protactic 450 AW is that, despite being the best designed bag here, it's HEAVY. And by heavy I mean 2 or 3 pounds heavier than most of the other bags here. For me, sadly, that's a dealbreaker. For long hikes this thing is absolutely out of the question.
Funny when people think a budget camera backpack is worth $220
I was gifted a Peak design bag and its easily the worst bag in my closet. Its uncomfortable and its trying too hard. With a few changes it could have been amazing.
i agree!
Echo Hall is really bad,. Stopped me from viewing to long and never got to the finish. Pity
thanks for the feedback! we have moved to a new space now where it's not a giant warehouse so things will be better =)
damn that echo sound... but nice review
yeah in a big empty warehouse! but i moved now so audio quality should be better now =)
