Nice! I love What's in My Bag videos - always curious how other folks are doing things. Now just to get you to Nikon... ;) I always hear good things about the Osprey bags, if they were to make a camera bag, I'd consider it. I think another bag I'd like to try is Atlas Packs camera bags. I know a few people that use them and they might be the mythical blend of comfort (like the Osprey), but the efficiency of a bag made for photographers. I really like FLM tripods as well. If you get the chance, try to the L4 version. I held off for a long time, but I've really come to like the extra height. I still travel with my S4, but regionally I tend to take my L4. Both are super quality. And nice to hear that the FLM compares well to the RRS (I have actually never used a RRS). Great video!
haha yeah I don't want to switch anymore. It is a big pain, I was reluctant to go back to Canon but I really do like their system. I've heard good things about Atlas, I tried them a number of years back but couldn't get the fit right with them either. It's probably a me thing but the Osprey with an insert is pretty good for now. I'm sure it will change again at some point lol. I actually have the L4 too, I had it last year in DV but wanted something a little smaller and lighter and the S4 is really nice. I lose a little height but not much but I still have it when I want something taller. But yeah the quality is very close to RRS for a fraction of the price. I will say I prefer the rubber twist locks of RRS but I think the metal ones on FLM last longer. Thanks for watching buddy!
Nice video Jared. Interesting thoughts on the backpack. I switched to the Action X50 last summer and it is by far the most comfortable & durable photo-backpack I have ever used. I always used "cheap" LowePro models that killed my shoulders. That said I am sure something like that Osprey is way more comfortable overall. The hikes/outings I take are usually no more than 7-8 miles though. That tripod looks killer, I may look into that. I am way overdue for a new one. Your Canon setup is awesome. I am jealous. I am still rocking the 7D Mark II, EF 24-105 f4 and 100-400 f/4.5-5.6. Eventually I'll make the jump to mirrorless. At least my EF lenses will switch over so I don't have to totally start from scratch
Thanks for your thoughts and thanks for watching Josh! Yeah, I mean everyone is different but I have always been not that impressed with the camera specific bags as far as harness and weight distribution goes but that's just my experience. The Osprey works out pretty well for now. Who knows where I'll be with it in a year or two. Honestly the FLM tripods are excellent. Top quality and quite reasonably priced. Thanks! I love the Canon R system. It's really nice they adapt the EF mount into their R lineup so people don't have to buy brand new lenses. From what I've heard it works pretty seamlessly with the R bodies.
I know you’re not asking me this question, but that’s just not true. The camera CAN make a difference depending on what you’re doing. If you are taking pictures of landscapes and want to print out pictures and blow them up / frame them.. then yeah you’ll probably want something that has high megapixels. But the equipment itself doesn’t make you a good photographer. You can have a $200 used dslr from Facebook marketplace, but spending $3,000 on a new fancy mirrorless camera won’t make you better. Just like when you post a great photo online and someone comments “wow you have a really nice camera” like yeah I agree, but the camera isn’t the one who found the right frame / composition, decided the settings, etc etc. You are what makes you a good or bad photographer. Use what you have and can afford and have fun with it 👍🏼
jakebates4903 kinda nailed that but i'll put in my thoughts as well. In order to be a better photographer you need to put in the work to understand good composition techniques, knowing whatever camera you are using well, and being able to post process well enough to bring your photos to life or tell the story you want to tell. An expensive camera is useless if you don't know the fundamentals or how to make a compelling image. Gear matters when you are being held back in some way from a creative or technical standpoint. Learn the fundamentals I mentioned and then worry about what camera you are using if you feel it is holding you back in some way. Until then just shoot a bunch, make a bunch of mistakes, and learn from them. I appreciate you watching and commenting! Also the 5DS R is a great camera and is quite capable.

I was looking forward to this movie. Regards.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing your gear! I enjoy these kind of videos!
Thanks for watching Patricia! They’re fun to do!
I’m using that exact same tripod setup. Absolutely the best
Yeah I’m a big fan of them. Great gear!

How much do you believe gear matters? I was told my photography will improve when I get a newer camera. I have a Canon 5DS R. Thanks for the video.
