I just got a black 7L pilot and I am absolutely in love with the look and functionality. So much so that now I want the 18L pilot backpack as well. Picking up a used one later today from a seller. I am ready to sell all my other 20 camera bags!
My 7L pilot with 2 zippered pouches came in a couple weeks ago and what a great bag. I'm able to carry both my M240 bodies with a CV 35/1.4 on one and a Zeiss 50/2 planar on the other along with a CV 28/2 Ultron II and Leica 90/2.8 Emarit-M lenses. I like it so much I pre-ordered a 3.5L Pilot for a smaller carry. Nice video.. Thanks
@@drr5117 I don't know if anyone has made a video with both, but the 3.5L is very nice with enough room to carry a Leica M240 body with a lens mounted along with 2 other lenses with no problems. By adding the extra storage pouch I can carry a flash or whatever else I want.
I was looking at this bag and this is a great useful review of its advantages. I currently use Thinktank Retro bags, but I like how this seems lighter and configures to your body. I have also used Domke bags in the past and liked those.
Great review, as a new camera hobbyist.. figuring out which bag to buy is crazy hard. I think your review pushed me to the Pilot… now I just gotta decide between the 7L or 10L lol
I'm laughing sooo hard, right now :) I had exactly the same... first a cheap bag, then a Filson one, later the Peak Design 6L and now I'm looking for a new bag hahah
Hi, since this older video, I have made some changes. I got myself an old Domke F2 with waxed canvas. I bet Wotancraft has some awesome gear too, but I wanted to try to spend money on my lenses, and tickets, instead of bags. I can really recommend the Domke F2, even if it's oldschool and in many ways more of a nostalgic choice. @@daveed4475
i just discovered this brand and it's unbelievable how they nail my preferences and ideas. I just bought my first Worancraft bag and I already love them. Just a great brand. Now for some pink colorways please >:)
Great review. Thanks for going in depth! I have an m11 and I almost always have the visoflex 2 attached which makes the vertical dimension of the camera just over 4.5” . I often like to carry it with my Voigtlander 75mm 1.5 which makes the front to back dimension of the camera close to 5” . I’m wondering if the 7 liter pilot could accomodate this settup or if you think I’d be better off with the 10L ? Thanks very much!!
Just Ordered it. Also Have my Peak Design which I do like aesthetically . However I was looking for a different bag and this is it.. Thanks form the review!
Great video! If one isn't a camera user but just looking for a good crossbody bag for urban use (NYC), would you recommend this bag (the Peak design bag seems more necessary for a photographer, not me)? I like well-made, thoughtfully designed and executed, comfortable bags with lots of pockets for phone, charger, book, keys, glasses, package windbreaker, notebook. I am female and 5'6." Many thanks. Might be barking up wrong tree.

I would like to see a comparison of the 7L vs 3.5L in use.

@@AIP404 I have used them as lens pouches after adding a padded lens bag/pouch inside to protect them more.
@@AIP404 The connections are secure, but it all depends on the lens you plan on carrying. I use small Voigtlander M mount lenses

The best bag ! - In love with my Khaki 10L
Love your practical attitude! Taiwan makes some great products.
You, sir, answered exactly the questions I had in mind! Thanks for this well made review.

have a look at direct action messenger bags, theres 2 sizes the large has more pockets than you'll ever need, look good as well.
@@ashtonal.2634 thanks for writing back! I’ll have a look.
You need to check out a Billingham 20/20 bag I really don’t think you will look back
it's ideal. I use it for my Canon m6 Mk II and a few lenses... with plenty of room for other things.
Wow ! Amazing review ! Thank you !! 🫡
How well do the two additional pouches fit on the 7L?
Thanks for this review this was super helpful!
Would it be possible to fit a 13-in MacBook in the tablet compartment?
I think you can on the 10L
Helpful review. Nice job. Thanks.
Really useful review. Thanks.
Great review!
It’s not plastic. It’s plasticized steel. Please stop saying it’s plastic lol.
Plastic hardware is a red flag for me, probably this bags only weakness
