I just use plastic or paper bags to carry my camera. It makes me look like homeless so I won't get robbed.
I also have a beatup Carhartt jacket that gives me that "I may be poor, but I also work for a living" vibe
#METOO
I settled on the Wndrd Prvke, because it matches perfect with my camera conspiracies t shirts. I wasn’t going to buy it because it was so damn expensive but after buying it I didn’t have any money left over to buy any camera gear so it definitely helped with the weight, plus all my camera lenses won’t ever get scratched because their still in the factory boxes at camera Canada waiting purchase from the affiliate links…. Seriously it’s the best bet I’ve ever owned, and I bought it without the camera cubes, the thing works great for carrying all my pet food. I’m gonna leave…
Hedgehog vomit! 😂 Wins the RUclips colour description of the year award 😂
Promise us you will never stop doing cssey , you lift my mood and I simply love your content same humour 😅
In the years that I have been photographing I managed to get around 6 camerabags. Canon, Vanguard, Thinktank etc etc. I ended up making an inlay for a Falraven bag and use that the most. Dang it. The waterbottle issue is real and many brothers in arms died because I couldn’t hydrate them.
I died when you pulled up the north face, “so i got this piece of sh*t” 😂
lucky you not banned by YT! I agree 100%. Crap stuff!
the backpack color is perfect for the orange and teal look that every "cinematic" youtube channel has.
Years ago, I saw a photographer put a second lens in her jacket pocket. So obvious, but it seemed so "wrong".
Yeah whenever it might rain i usually bring a body cap and a rear cap attached together in my back jeans pocket. I can take the lens off and cap both and put the body in one jacket pocket and the lens in the other, to not get rained on
MarkusPix sent me the biggest ever think tank photo bag. It actually is convenient when doing certain events. I can fit 2 cameras, all my glass, 2 lights, my laptop, and still has room left over lmao. Rather use it over 2 or 3 bags
Better to carry a big bag then two always. We have a 27kg aluminium container we stuff everything in for production, its got wheels so we just roll it around, you have no idea how much quicker that heavy thing is to use then two containers half its size. Only downside is to get it out the car which can get a bit heavy if its full weights around 60kg.
Also less shit to get lost when you only have one bag
I owned the ThinkTank Production Manager 50 (that's the bag you're talking about). I had it for 2 years then gave it to a friend and downgraded to 3x ThinkTank Airport Accelerator bags. I just wanted a little more modularity. That Production Manager 50 is an amazing bag though, there's nothing quite like it and it's built really well.
@@BackusCreativeImaging ya it's ridiculously large but it's pretty cool. Definitely nice when I need that much gear and a laptop. Most "laptop" bags won't fit mine
Thanks for convincing me to keep my camera bag.
I was in tears at the water bottle bit 🤣 so relatable. But I agree, camera bags are heavy for nothing really.
I saw that too! I cracked up! Perfect!
If you wanna put 2kg tripod you don't wanna lightest bag, cause it never hold the tripod(
I just got to it 10 seconds after reading this comment😂
The best bags are those you can put in front of you instead of your back, you have instant access to camera, battery and lenses, just zip open and grab whatever, its also dual function, it makes you look like a terrorist and it also allows you to use that bag as support for your camera, handy for video shoot that requires some stabilisation.
Yep. I use a PD sling, but slung in front. It's almost as handy as a backpack strap clip, but offers way more padding and weather protection.
You have the best insights on the internet. The scenario seems to be filling a camera bag with gear, going to the location, taking the gear out so you can use it, and then carry around an empty camera bag for the duration of the shoot. Makes so much sense.
i usually carry around ~3 sizeable lenses and i'd rather not have my 70-200 bang around in there.
I’ve been shopping for a camera backpack for six months. I’ve never been able to find the perfect one. You’ve just explained why. There is no such animal. I’ll stop wasting my time and simply carry my stuff in my plain old backpack.
Morten Hilmer made a video about making your own camera pack, or something like that. But yeah choosing a bag is super tough. I do love the Action X30 though it's probably not perfect for everyone.
I am nine days in from a major back surgery and have been in serious pain from an unrelated hip injury. First time I have laughed in nine days. It was worth the minor pain from laughing so hard.😂
I'm a loser photographer who uses a LowePro Flipside 500 AWII bag. I can carry two FF bodies and at least five lenses in it, up to my RF 100-500. But I could remove a bunch of the compartments and have plenty of room for groceries. You could likely do with the smaller 200 or 300 models that go for under $200 USD. I've had my bag for over five years and it'll last me for at least another 5, maybe 10.
I have the Lowepro Hatchback BP250 and really like it. The camera section is a removable cube so the backpack can also be all for hiking gear. And, the camera compartment opens on the back.
As a hobbyist, I take my camera and maybe one other lens. What I've found is I don't need multiple lenses most of the time. If I plan to be out most of the day, I'll take three lenses (one mounted to the camera body). At one point I had a huge bag and tried to take everything with me all the time. That became a big pain so I started using a much smaller bag and I'll probably never go back to hauling so much stuff around all the time.
I hate changing lenses outdoors so I'll hike with two bodies on a double Black Rapid shoulder strap system.
i would pay a lot of money for a masterclass you create. I am not sure i would be a better photographer as a result, but man would it be entertaining!!
Never heard of a color called "Hedgehog Vomit". The more you know :)
waiting for the pocket 3 review or rather your unique version of a review. hopefully soon. I almost bought the borealis backpack. so thanks for pointing out the weakness in those straps. although they do have various versions of the borealis I'm gonna double check because I was really set on that backpack. otherwise I'll have to start researching all over again.
I have spent about a thousand dollars on camera bags but the best bag I have got is a Czech gas mask bag from 1957.Padding is for suckers. (i was once a sucker)
I walked out of my house this afternoon with two camera bags over my shoulders. One with full frame sony gear and the other with m4/3 olympus. Used both cameras and 5 lenses, plus filters and filter holders. And a small tripod. Luckily, it was a short walk because all that gear is heavy. If you're going out with no idea of what you will be shooting, then yeah, why take a lot of gear. But if you know what your subject is, but not which lens will work best...I take them all. And I used them all. One bag was Lowepro and the other was Canon. Both are high end. If I'm going on a long walk with a lot of gear, I use the Lowepro AW500 backpack. I love it. Sorry. Oh, and I can reach the water bottle pocket.
I'm doing the opposite to the thing proposed here, I use Manfrotto camera bag as an everyday bag, even am doing groceries with it and am pretty happy.
He has compartment for a laptop and reader on the back, good accessible compartment for small everyday items on the top, hidden big compartment near my back at the front of a bag (never any of the security that is searching the bag decides to check it for some reason and 2 big compartments to the sides: for an umbrella or bottle of water. And rain coating.
What else can I ask for. I also use it as a main photo shooting bag too.
I also have a separate bag for wildlife shooting with Sony 200-600 (this lens doesn't fit elsewhere) and another separate regular bag for video shooting, that can fit my gimbal.
One thing I love about Kasey's face when he's making a joke is that I feel like he's always on the verge of cracking himself up ... keep up the great videos!
Yes!! 😂
I admit that I have a camera bag problem. I have one for almost every scenario, including multiple bags from; PGYTECH, Peak Design, & Think Tank. For an everyday bag that’s convenient enough to put groceries, a light jacket, etc., I like the Peak Design Everyday Zip.
I can understand. 😍🤩Somebody on RUclips said it is GAS syndrome. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. 😉
I use gallon size freezer ziploc bags for basic protection... cameras (particularly pro cameras) are pretty tough, but the freezer bags are nice to reduce scuffs and scratches. Added bonus is really good protection from dust and lint! ;)
Oh oh, 30 seconds in and we're talking about special needs backpacks for awkward photogs who can't fit into society. Yep, I guess I'm in the right place...
I've been using Tenba since I started 9 years ago. My first bag it still in excellent condition, only upggraded cause I needed more space. They are freaking amazing
I don't use any bag, I just hold my 200-600 in my hand like a neanderthal and his club
3:17 - I own several dozen DJI Mavic 2 Sleeves. I use these to protect lenses, cameras, audio equipment, monitors etc. I can carry anything in a normal bag :)
haha. no padding, no protection. you're hilarious... we all know photographers don't have sex...
that castle in the background fits your personality perfectly 😮
Hedgehog vomit!...😂😂😂
One of my coworkers gave me a used Jansport a year ago nd i actually asked her right before she handed it to me "are you sure?" I just know... Jansports are like used civics, they dont die people just want a change
Old backpack brands still rule. Nike ACG is durability king- i have one going on 14 years not one flaw in it) Jansport is close 2nd Dickes at $50+ third because...value pick
Hedgehog vomit....never change
"Hedgehog vomit"...What an interesting color.
Your take on the water bottle is gold 😂
lmaooo, that's too bad about the north face back pack, because they used to all be like the jester, or recon, or surge, or even the borealis, had "normal" straps on their previous models ha.

Careful with the shirtless exercise portion of the video. A certain white haired photographer's wife might get tempted to the dark side.
The fujifilm wraps that come with the kit are perfect for using in a conventional backpack. We've all been down the camera bag path, now I just use them to keep the kit at home.
If you want the real shit, watch reviews by through hikers. Their lives depend on their gear kinda
The water bottle. Classic.😂🤣👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇦
Bro, why the negativity 😂 it’s going to be ok friend.
Lmao the water bottle thing is so true, i died 🤣
North Face straps? Upholstery threads and needles or maybe Gorilla glue? The thin foam Wine bottle carriers work for a lens holders.
I'm thinking of buying a banged up old camera on ebay so I don't need a bag for it at all and just let it hit stuff.
The Cinema was truly ours on that backpack segment. That was glorious!
😂 fabulous, great start to my day, made me laugh and also realise what to do for the new bag I need 😊
Wait, is the Farm Boy *Camera Bag*/Shopping Bag in the affiliates links?
That thing’s a game changer!
As a lame photographer, not only do I have a camera bag, I have so many that I don't know how many I have. I have Mindshift Rotation bags, and ThinkTank bags, LowePro, and many other brands. I have hard shell bags for travelling by airplane. The reason I have so many is that each one is for a different camera outfit. The Nikon DSLR bag has my D800 and a D600 along with all the other things I may need including lenses, flashes, tripod, chargers, cables, flash modifiers, etc. The Canon DSLR bag has my 5Ds, my 5D Mark II, and 5D Mark II infrared cameras along with the aforementioned sorts of things needed. Then I have my Canon 1-N HS bag with two 1-N HS cameras, lenses, etc. I have my large format bag, my medium format bag, My Nikon 35mm bag (the cameras are the Nikon f5 and f100). It seems like a lot of overlap (and it is). For instance, the Canon 1-N cameras are EF mount, just like my DSLR cameras. So why not use one bag and just swap cameras? Because the older film camera bag has lenses that only work on film cameras (Canon changed the interface so that the 3rd party lenses would not be compatible). I also may want to use both my DSLRs and SLRs at the same time. So I just grab and go. Now, you are right about the weight. I have some really, really heavy telephoto lenses. But that is why we don't need a gym membership. With 50 kilos of gear in our 2 kilo backpack, we develop gristle and muscle to rival a puma. Carrying such a load on our backs we develop a stoop. With a duffel bag full of more "important, can't do without" stuff in each hand, our arms literally stretch over time until we resemble hairless orangutans. Once when I was wearing a brown fur coat, I stopped to eat a banana and subsequently appeared in an article of National Geographic as a new (yet unidentified) species of ape.
if you only used a single or just two Cameras I'd suggest a sling bag, one that sits on your back most of the time and slides to your front for easy access and can just sit on your front while you're shooting/adjusting your gear,
I've never been a fan of reaching for stuff in a backpack, or the heat on my back on hot days.
Been looking for something (un camera bag-like.......not boxy or bulky) to carry my Pentax 67 around in, once I am out of the car. I only have two lenses, but I'd like to keep the lens that's not mounted to the body, from rolling around all willy nilly. Would be great if it would also hold about 5 or 10 rolls of film.
So far, the best I've come up with are a reusable shopping bag and/or a smedium L.L. Bean duffel bag. The only real 'problem' with them is that the unmounted lens kinda' rolls around in the bag. The big plus is that both are pretty inconspicuous for walking around on city streets.
One style of video that triggers me is the... "What's in my camera bag 2023" My bag chills with 0% gear inside until I want to leave my studio, and then I pack what's needed. Vs taking every scrap of camera gear I own to a park... I own WAY too many alien bees to just throw them in a bag and expect to walk around without a shopping cart or 2... I have pulled off a photobooth with 2 bikes and 2 trailers, though! We looked like Elmer Fudd prospecting.
What about using a "sling" sack instead of full backpack? Just one cross body strap and much easier to swing around and get to your water bottle or open to access a camera or two.
northface is first and foremost a clothing company. Backpacks are an afterthought. Whereas Osprey, Deuter, and Gregory are backpack companies, also with lifetime warranties, but much better bag quality.
I've been thinking about this problem myself. I need a new bag to store and carry gear, and I'm also a hiker. While there are camera bags "designed" for hiking, they aren't good hiking backpacks. So I'm looking into camera cubes to keep lenses and microphones padded that I can fit into a proper hiking backpack.
I love the colour of that bag! The hedgehog vomit colour is cool
Could not agree more. Do not use camera bags either.
Camera bag goes in the trunk of the car. Afterwards it goes back in the house.
@2:26 why does it look 10 times better than all your videos ? Did you not messed with the codecs and grain ? Or did you step up something ?
I haven’t been on here for a while cause I’ve been busy making knives, but I really appreciate your account. It always brings me a smile. Thanks for all the fun content.
I fail to understand how bags within a bag makes anything easier.
hedhog vomit !!! hahaha this is hilarious
You're just hilarious! Thank you.
Hi Kasey!
I’ve been watching your videos for a short time now and you have become one of my favorite content creators.
Love your Style, Witt, Sense of Humor and Take on all the many aspects of the Photography World.
Keep it up and Thank You!!! 😊
My photography needs are met by two types of bags: Mystery Ranch hiking rucksack with a small camera cube on the top for wilderness hiking, and a Billingham Hadley for everything else. I use both every day for work anyway.
I’ve had all sorts of Peak Design, Crumpler, Lowepro etc. bags and all that I have left is the Mystery Ranch, the Billingham, and a Wandrd Rogue Sling for cycling/gravel adventure riding.
IMO I think “camera” bags in general are overrated, especially the cheaply made Peak Design garbage bags they’re selling in Best Buy now.
Dang those "pistol squares" look hard and healthy
North Face Vault is similar price point as jester and borealis and doesn't have that flimsy strap. Going strong now 5-6th year. Heavy used for groceries, uni books. day hiking, sports bag etc. Almost zero wear in the whole bag. The zipper is slightly stickier now. Good for cycling too.
“The North Face Conspiracy”
I already had to pee then you made me laugh so hard it was a struggle. You remind me of me with products. I often say ..I need to just have my own factory everytime I need something that makes what I need the way I design it. I am not satisfied with most products because they are doing it wrong!
I fly economy and therefore I have to travel as light as possible. Camera, notebook, lenses and the tripod already bring me very close to my luggage limit. Bringing a camera bag would mean additional weight.
I own a Lowepro camera backpack. I has cost me $250 and is very heavy. I think the last time I used it was in 2007.
Sometimes I use bubble wrap around a camera in a normal back pack.
First ! Ha , I always wanted to do That :). Fuk …..I’m a Loser 😂
Shimamoto has the best lightest ones in the world
if you ever design one bag considering all the faults with other manufacturers i will honestly purchase it from you.
Hilarious as always but I disagree about backpacks. I have multiple slings, backpacks and messenger bags that are great for different situations. I tried a simple backpack with my a7iv in a Tenba top loader and some lenses on a recent family trip to NYC and that was okay but was difficult to get to when stuffed with jackets and other things. I also had a Fujifilm x-pro3 in there part of the time.
I decided to find a better solution for family trips to be able to carry my cameras and other things (groceries) if need be. I ended up buying a Tenba Fulton V2 16L all weather backpack. I freakin’ love it and worked perfectly on a trip to Cancun with my family. It has a separate rear camera access panel and a versatile roll top design on top that can expand. It worked beautifully. I was able to access my camera without having to remove anything from the top roll top compartment. It has a lot of great features and I bought it on sale. They have open box deals. Although it is a 16L it can carry more when expanded.
Thanks for the video.
I use an Osprey Farpoint 40 daily for about two years now and it holds up great.
I have a wrap as well and find if you roll it up it’s easier to store. Nice video as always.
The Jester... Joke's on you, and a cruel joke at that... 🤔
napkins are criminally unpleasant for storing equipment
I'm waiting for the end of Sandal's
Man, I love this guy! And, yeah, The North Face bags suck.
You're not one of those influencers who get free gear that use the Peter McCanon nomadic bags that costs 500 barbie doll heads?
For the last several years I've just been using my mission workshop sanction. This is a bag infamous for it's lack of organization. It has some zippered compartments in front, but basically it's just a bucket that folds closed on top ("rolltop" so "expandable"), and the "organization" pockets use up the same internal space. Anyway, I just use wraps on my lenses, and toss everything into the bucket. It's certainly not instant access when I need to swap a lens, but the only limit on how many things I want to bring is the weight of those things. That is to say, I have NEVER filled the bag, because that would be way too heavy. (The weight of the equipment. The bag weighs very, very little on it's own.) The huge advantage of this bag is zero exposed zippers. There are no exposed zippers when it's closed. I could stand out in a torrential rain for half an hour, and I know there's no water going inside the bag. (It's also double lined, ie an outer shell and a totally separate inner bag.) And yes, the thin wraps that come with fuji lenses are awesome. I wish I could buy them ala carte, w/o the lens.
I realize the same years ago. Dedicated bags are useless.
Hello Kasey. I am a new fan of your channel. All I have is a smartphone (Samsung S20). I want to buy a real camera for the first time. I see a lot of positive reviews about a6700. Unfortunately, Sony doesn't consider India as a potential market; a6700 is not available here. Comparable models of Canon, Fujifilm, and MFT Panasonic models are all available. Can you please suggest any hybrid alternatives to a6700 for a first-timer?
Definitely Fuji xs20
@@GeorgeKalokairinos Thanks for the suggestion. I don't ever want to change my smartphone. The S20 was the last phone that supported an SD card. After this, they followed Apple's greed model of removing everything. Kasey disses Fuji pretty badly for its poor IBIS. In comparison videos, I have seen the a6700's IBIS perform better than the X-20 although Kasey hates Sony too. According to him, Panasonic is way ahead in the IBIS game. What would be the hybrid equivalent in the Panasonic world? Fuji's open gate seems cool on the paper. It can be used to crop in later for a vertical video but isn't better to shoot in vertical when you want vertical to get the desired composition?
@@gagan.dee.p You can't run with a Fuji in a straight line. For static shots Fuji has one of the best stabes in the business (like a tripod). Also regular ibis is more than good enough for regular vlogging and everyday filmmaking. I also own a Panasonic and the stabe is amazing ofc but Fuji is not that far behind. Perfect for general use and better than Sonys.
If you want to walk in a straight line and film then buy a gimbal or a Panasonic. 👍 (DJI action cams or pocket and gopro cameras are the best for that purpose.)
I hope you were able to re-hydrate your shoulder.
Love the way you describe things 😂
That water bottle segment is too hilarious 🤣... Loved it.
camelbak water thing is great for long hikes. I hate water bottles.
The peak design everyday sling was very convenient to have all the tiny fujicron f2 lenses and a fuji camera accessible in front of you. With the 10l version, i was able to fit the 70-300mm with 1.4x TC on a X-E3 into it. But where to put a water bottle and groceries? Having an additional back pack would be awkward. Now i have several Microfiber protection wrap from Amolith. I can wrap the tele lens setup, other lenses and even a notebook with it. That's more professional than wrapping it in a t-shirt as i did before. No camera bag needed.
I thought I was the only one who put their camera gear in a regular backpack. It's not ideal, but seems to just about work.
Bought a cheap camera backpack off Aliexpress a while back, but when it arrived it was so lightweight and flimsy I didn't trust it.
As you say, a regular backpack allows you to carry other stuff and do a bit of shopping too.
😂 The most truthful photo channel ever! I looked at so many photo bags and finally gave up. Everyone obsesses about a light setup and then the bag adds 4lbs! WTF. So I also chose a regular ultralight backpack (Osprey). Only 1lb! The North Face ones were still a bit too heavy IMO. I use camera pouches tho.
Clash factory! Lol!
I'm with you. I just carry a lightweight Mountain Hardware daypack that is still holding up after 15 years (not sponsored). That will hold a tripod and any extra lenses I might bring, but mainly I just have my camera on a sling strap with a sharp wide to tele zoom.
I am sorry for your loss 😭,I assume Greg was a good friend? Camera bags are a gear obsession in the own way! the best bags i found are ones I can have a bottled water, place for a phone and a small point and shoot. it was not even a camera bag, I made some small bags out od microfiber clothes. Where I live stores don't allow back packs. Could you suggest a water bottle?
So recognizable!
I much prefer those type of side pockets on the Northface than the flimsy mesh kind. Yes, take the damn pack off to get a drink. I have a Lowepro pack ($50) that I put lenses and accessories in for my mirrorless Canon. I keep it in my truck or car. I don't lug it around on my back--at least, not very far. I have an even bigger pack for my large telephoto lenses. Again, I don't carry it around on my back very far. Most of the time I carry a lightweight Patagonia shoulder bag (10+ years old) with an insert to carry a couple lenses, water bottle and sometimes my camera if it is raining.
Bravo! Carry one freaking camera, O N E. One lens! Backpack for da groceries. I put Leica on top of veggies! Digital has allowed tiny cameras! Oh! I don't make murals.. WHO DOES? again Bravo!
I bought that PGYTech bag. As soon as I put it on I said, "What the hell is this?" So heavy. I then bought the cheapest, lightest bag I could find and haven't looked back.
