I just received this bag yesterday and was wondering what some of the straps were for. Thank you for sharing. I found the tripod foot sack because of you! I think it will take some time to figure what I want to put where with so many pockets and etc.
Toward the end of the video, Greg makes the comment about how heavy a large camera backpack can become. In considering the purchase of this Endurax pack, I would be moving up from a Lowepro Fastpack 350, which is about 15% smaller in overall volume than this Endurax and has only 1 camera-ready compartment (on the bottom) instead of two like this Endurax does. The Lowepro 350 weighs 1.5 pounds empty (680 grams). I have loaded this pack to 35 pounds total weight once, just with camera gear: Two bodies (Canon 6D and T6i), plus these lenses: 70-200 f2.8L, 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM UD, 24-105 f4L, 17-40 f4L. About 8 batteries total (the 6D and the T6i take different ones, unfortunately), a plastic box containing the battery chargers, lens cleaning materials, etc. My Samsung 10.5 tablet, which I use with the Canon Remote Connect app. My best tripod, which weighs 7 pounds and thus isn't really a good backpack 'pod (carbon fiber tripods meant for backpacking weigh 1.5~2 pounds). A Sunpack flash gun and 2 sets of batteries and a battery charger for it, a handgrip, and a Garmin 60CX GPS. A Bushnell 15x30 binoc. Plus a bunch of small things like plastic filter wrenches, my US National Parks stamp book, Neutral density filters, CPL filters, spare lens caps, SD cards, etc. When I put the loaded pack on a bathroom scale, I was shocked at how heavy it was. 35 pounds! That's only slightly less than the 38 pounds my big backpack weighed, full of camp gear (tent, sleeping bag, stove, food, water, etc.) the last time I did an overnight hike. So Greg isn't kidding about how heavy a large capacity camera pack can get if you load it all the way up, especially with "professional" level glass like Canon "L" series lenses and a couple of full-size DSLR bodies. I suspect that this Endurax could easily be packed to well over 40 pounds with just DSLR camera gear. Add a drone with a controller, and a 15" laptop, and a full-size tripod, and you could maybe push this pack to 50 pounds. That's more weight than most small or medium sized people could carry for several hours without incurring a back strain. Anyway, this does look like a really nice, very versatile camera pack, but be warned that DSLR camera gear is heavy as hell and a pack this big can get seriously heavy if loaded to capacity.
Hey man, it looks like you need to adjust how that pack is sitting on you. The hip belt looks like it should be lower on you, with the middle of the belt being on the top of the hip bone. To find the hip bone, feel down your side. Right where you change from feeling soft squishy stomach to hard hip bone is where that middle of the hip belt goes. Then you want to change the length of the back panel so the shoulder straps sit in the right place. Where they connect to the pack looked like it was in fact velcroed in place. Undo that, note how it fastens, and then change the length so that the straps sit smoothly on your shoulders and the little strap that runs from the top of the pack to the shoulder straps ends on the strap right at the top of your shoulder. That strap controls the weight of the top of the bag, and you should start on the flats with it at a 90 degree triangle from shoulder to pack. That should balance out the weight of the camera gear better. Overall, This should increase the comfort of this bag under load significantly, as weight is now transferring to your hips instead of your stomach. Looks like an an awesome pack, thanks for the review!
agreed with the sizing but my daughter was also trying it on so we had it primarily setup for her. Now that we were done with heading out to shoot Ill adjust it to fit me as Ill be the one who uses it most of the time. Thanks though for the comment. 👍🏻
Yeah. That certainly is a really big bag. But it just holds everything. Versatile and well made. And not really that bad a price. And there's room to carry lunch! It would have been really nice if the hard cover on the top was actually a solar panel for on-the-go charging if you need it. FYI - your Amazon US link goes to Amazon Canada.
I think Amazon is looking at IP address to see if you should go to amazon.ca. I tried it and it also goes to amazon.ca, but it is definitely the US link. But thanks, as always, for the heads up.
It probably wouldn't be hard to attach a 5 watt panel for cell phone/tablet charging to that flat plastic hard cover. Amazon has a bunch of different ones from 5 to 15 watts that are designed for backpacking use.
Thank you for this review! Until now, that's the bag I'm considering (unless there exist other options for my specific contexts)... IMHO and my own personal needs, It's not that big. I'm looking for a backpack big enough for canoe-camping (more than 2 days), which would also accommodate a camera, + couple of lenses - not necessarily my whole kit -, + at least 5 batteries (small stuff), and maybe a drone DJI Mini 2 : one bag with backpack straps, rather than having 2-3 bags to carry around. Those backpacks I was carrying when I was a scout, or then after for hiking+camping during a week or more, were about +1/3+ bigger...
Looks a very nice camera backpack with plenty of space for camera gear etc. You'll get great use from bag. Any way to fit a tent in? If I was say doing hike in highlands of Scotland and wanted to photograph scenaary etc then I wanted to do one night camp then I could. I do plan to get the MSR Hubble shield ultralight weight and very compact tent that's 1kg in weight. Would it be suitable for tent that small and light weight? What size in litre would you say camera bag is? You could put map in too. I'd put a few snacks in there too. I wouldn't mind getting it as long as you can take tent for an over nighter in wilds! Alot of peaple do hikes and camp for one night when photographing area. Nice price too!
im guessing that you could possible mount a test somewhere to the back of it via some of the available straps, but it would all depend on the size of the tent. I would think it would need to be a fairly small tent or at least one that packs up nice and small.
If I wanted to use this pack to do camping, I would sew on four stainless steel D-rings to the bottom corners, then use them to lash on the tent and bedding roll with bungee cord. Carried on the bottom, they wouldn't interfere with access to the main compartments during the day. Of course, the pack wouldn't be able to stand up on it's own if you did that, but if you just have to bring a tent and sleeping bag, you don't need them until the end of the day anyway, and carrying them on the bottom of the pack would cause the least interference with all of the other pockets and compartments during the day.
Thinking about getting this at the end of the month, seems like such a good deal and only 105 gbp. I have the camera rigged up and I think this should do great as right now using two back packs and that doesn't even count the tripod, this fits the bill. Not worried about the weight lol I mean we can't complain that we want to take all our stuff then moan it's heavy. Not like I can sit down with all my gear and say "look, we are getting a little fat, you need to go on a diet". Thanks for the review I'm more sold on it
@@gregtoope some of the bags I have been looking at are just eye watering expensive so I've been eyeing this up and I need to make a few tweaks to the rig but is far cheaper to do that than the more expensive brands that aren't offering that much extra

Just got this bag for Xmas today from my girlfriend.

Not like I can sit down with all my gear and say "look, we are getting a little fat, you need to go on a diet".
Thanks for the review I'm more sold on it
its a nice bag for sure. I use it a lot for days that im bringing all the gear with me. its one fo the only bags that will fit my 150-600 sigma in it.
@@gregtoope some of the bags I have been looking at are just eye watering expensive so I've been eyeing this up and I need to make a few tweaks to the rig but is far cheaper to do that than the more expensive brands that aren't offering that much extra
Thanks!
Most welcome! 🙏🏻
Its a very busy bag...but you will never want for space
Very true. I actually don’t use it much as it’s so big. But if I needed to carry lots of gear this would be the bag.
Hey cool!
Thanks
