I Finally Found the Perfect Camera Bag (for me) - Tenba Fulton 14L
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- It’s taken a looooong time, but I’ve finally found the perfect “everyday” camera bag (for me, at least). The Tenba Fulton 14L holds a decent amount of gear along with a laptop and it has a rolltop compartment that’s able to fit a full frame mirrorless camera with a lens and mic attached- all while being super small and discreet.
•Tenba Fulton 14L: geni.us/aEH2 (Amazon)
•Manfrotto Prolight Backloader: geni.us/ANrqj0 (Amazon)
•Peak Design Capture Clip: geni.us/w9Cw (Amazon)
I was using the Sennheiser EW-DP wireless mic system for this video, and I LOVE the sound quality from it. I’ve been looking for something a bit more reliable than the smaller wireless systems and this is perfect: bhpho.to/43JgqkL along with the MKE Essential Omni lav mic: bhpho.to/477Kglx

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Oh hell, well, swell, a _bag_ video!!! Wonderful bag Tom! I was sneaking onto their other products because I've already have a backpack (PGY Tech OneMo mk1) but this Tenba is such a well thought out bag. That roll-top is an extremely practical option.
I really like that PHY Tech bag! It's just a bit to big for me as an everyday thing.
That Peak design clip sound is so satisfying ❤ great video.
Love that thing!
Love your work and review style. Thanks for putting out your content. It’s refreshing.
Hey!! So cool to see you here!
@@tombuck same :)
YEEEEES I LOVE THIS BAG !!! I have it since two years now and it's the fisrt time in my life that I've founded a bag that really is all what I need ! Practical, not super big, pritty, and so on !
It's held up super well for me! I've used it a ton and it still looks/works like new 👍
Thank you, Tom! I’m weird about bags and storage, so these types of reviews are awesome.
I love camera bags, but it's always so tough to find exactly what you're looking for!
Thanks for the vid! Excited for this pack
I'm almost sold on this bag! But my first priority is upgrading my camera setup. I've been using Canon for several years now, but I just got a Sony FX30 for work, and I'm absolutely loving it so far. I'm considering getting myself one for my personal use. Once I do that, the Tenba looks like the perfect bag for me!
Great review!! I Want to check out the 16l! Keep up the great work my man!!
Thanks! It really is such an awesome bag.
Great review, thanks a ton for the video.
Haha, great video! Since I saw this channel's bag videos, I also got my Perfect Camera bag, Tenba Axis v2 26L!!!!!
I really appreciate how well you explain the logic behind your decision. I personally can't live without side access after using Peak Design bags, but Tenba would be at the top of my list if I could.
Definitely important to evaluate your specific needs! Luckily there are a ton of great options out there. The WANDRD PRVKE line seems pretty great if you like side access.
@@tombuck I have tried out the PRVKE and unfortunately it's not enough side access for my needs. It's only large enough to access the camera. I use side access as a standing lens changing station. The only time I put my bag down is to access my jacket or snacks in the top compartment. I wouldn't change lenses as much if there was any more friction.
Ive been using the Peter Mckinnon bag for the past 6 months, not super happy with it so I'm going to be checking out the Tenba bag! Thanks for the video Tom!
Tenba really makes awesome stuff, and the pricing is pretty reasonable. I like the PM bag a lot in some ways, but was definitely disappointed in others. I REALLY wanted to love it.
@@tombuck same, I just wish it had some form of outside pocket!
I have the 14L for work and the 16L for home. Great bag and man the roll top is such a great feature. Great information
Glad you're enjoying yours! The roll top does indeed kick butt and the bag is holding up extremely well. Still looks new!
Thanks for this review. I'm sold & will get the all-weather version.
I've been using it a ton and it's held up great!
Tom Buck, the 177 meter towering giant whose towering videos we love! :D
I'm going through the same bag dilemma right now. Thanks for this video. The Tenba Fulton checks *almost* all the boxes for me but I prefer side quick access at least for the camera and that velcro on the rolltop was a bit of a turn off as you mentioned the discreteness of opening the bag. I'm imagining needing to open it in the middle of my kid's recital or something while everyone is totally quiet. I wish the Wandrd Prvke didn't have the all black interior, because otherwise that one seems great as well. I just picked up a bag from Besnfoto that is a definite ripoff of the Prvke but they made a few design tweaks (light interior, zipper on the rolltop, magnetic buckle). It may be the one, but time will tell.
The Prvke Lite has color-matching interiors, if you don't need the larger size 👍
Nothing to say about the bag but the Peak Design Capture clip is awesome. On extreme mountainwalks I used it with no issiues, although my old camera is 600gr, with my new one being 900gr it is less comfortable, but the convinience of having the camera to grab on the go is really great. And the new camera is semi water and dustproof, so it stays on the clip in mild rain.
Backpack is not a camerabag, but a regular daypack (Osprey).
I really "slept" on the Capture Clip for way too long! I can't believe how helpful it is.
I have a Tenba DNA 16 which is sorta similar, but set up more to stand up rather than lay down. I've tried a lot of camera bags, including the more popular marketed ones, and the Tenba is just set up in a way for how I use it, plus the straps and back panel are prob the most comfortable under load. Some of these other bags are sorta overengineered or gimmicky. The side swinging thing is not really for me, I'd rather use a sling or shoulder bag for that sort of lightweight action. Backpacks sorta imply bringing more stuff and travel, usually with tripods.
I have 2 questions not related to this video and I think only you can answer. 1. I'm trying to screen record my ipad screen (using HDMI and capture card) with voice over through a separate mic in my laptop's OBS. The iPads internal audio is always out of sync with screen recording so recording that is useless. I also use Zoom H6 audio recorder for separately recording audio. But when i try to sync the two audios in premiere pro, they don't sync. The audio of OBS is only mp3, so I tried recording my audio in H6 also in mp3, it still won't work. 2. I just bought the Atem mini extreme iso. If I record my ipad screen using HDMI in that with a mic directly attached to the Atem and another mic hooked up to H6, will these two audios sync? Eagerly awaiting your reply.
Nice!
Great details review!
I am looking at this comparing it with the Manfrotto Street Slim Backpack. Both seems to be similar
What I read is the Manfrotto Street seems more flimsy.
What’s your opinion
It would be perfect camera backpack for someone who has to put a LOT OF stuff in. (Like me)
I would just be like, Having a camcorder inside and stuff like the adapter, Mics, LED lights and all of that good stuff. (The chargers, USB data cables, Other cameras, Etc.) Even with the front pouch makes it really easy to access the stuff inside. 😊
And also, I really like how it added an extended bag feature for keeping other stuff too.
It's like a built-in farbic bag attached to the camera bag sort of.
Meanwhile, I have my shoulder typed one.
Ha, I still have to use it and its still good, I've been using this bag for like 7-8 months now.
And I still have a lot of stuff in there. 😅
Nice! I feel like the form factor of a camcorder might open up some more options for bags, which is pretty cool.
Great review. Is it possible to know the dimensions when upper part is rolled down? And how thick is it? Looking for something that can fit under seat on European airlines. Thabk you
HMMM wondering if I could fit the DJI RS3 Pro in the bag, don't mind camera in top section, if gimbal could go in bottom?
I would probably have get the 16 inch version,,, cuz I have 16 inch MacBook Pro ,, ??
I have 3 questions regarding the bag (I’m currently on the market to buy a bag):
1)What is the breathability like on your back when carrying in hot environments?
2) How comfortable are the straps when carrying all-day or for a prolonged time?
3) Are there any security features or are you able to put a lock on the zippers on the front pouch?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I never knew about this company until I visited B&H at saw it on display. At $120 and its feature set - I felt comfortable taking the plunge on this bag without doing any research. It is similar in function to the Wandrd PRVKE bags but thankfully it comes in the option of a canvas material over the PCV material (which I personally just DO NOT like). Its way slimmer then the PRVKE Lite and a lot lighter. The weight was a big selling point for me. I have a Mission Workshop camera bag and LOVE IT but it' can be heavy. So that's my companion airport travel bag where I need to haul a lot on my back + a 16" laptop. This is my carry around town, walkabout camera bag that can haul my camera, a few lens, iPad and a light jacket or launch in the top roll down. The stitching is pretty strong throughout but there are some weak looking points. Time will tell. I got the olive and brown version.
Nice! I've never had a Tenba bag fail on me, so hopefully you have the same experience. Thanks for the insights vs. the PRVKE- I haven't seen that one in person so it's super helpful.
@@tombuck the PRVKE and the material they use just screams Tupperware to me lol. I don’t want that on my back. Same reason I sold my Nomatic every day duffle. It got scuffed and I had a huge white mark across the side that never went away. I’ve had anxieties since. VX material, heavy cotton canvas and Cordura nylon are my go to’s.
Overall I’m very pleased so far. The hook and strap for the roll top helps double as a jacket or scarf holder too. Looks wavy hanging a scarf or colorful overshirt on the outside of the bag
Good vid, thanks. And great that you mentioned your height, which in fact is very important in choosing a bag, but almost no reviewer ever does. I'm practically the same height as you, so I can see that it will be a good fit.
Glad it helped! The height thing is always tough. The Peter McKinnon bag definitely looked a bit too big on me, but then I realized a bunch of the reviews I watched were from people well over 6' tall where it looked totally normal on them 😁
@@tombuck ordered it today; very curious!
I've got the 10L version and I love it. I only wish I'd bought the 14L, as the 10L is slightly small at times.
They'r such well made bags! Maybe you can snag a 14L on a Black Friday sale soon?
only thing I'm not quite sure about is, that it does not have a hip belt. Love everything else about this bag.
I'm used to using the hip belt to then turn the back in front of me and kinda using it like a table. This way I can change lenses, whereever I am during standing, don't have to put down my bag. I'm so used to this that I don't know what I'd do without it, can't even imagine having to put down my bag everytime I change lenses
I'm guessing that they didn't include a hip belt because the bag is so compact it might not have worked out well? That's just a guess though. I like your system of never putting the bag down!
lol it's finally in the bag!
Thanks Tom..
Does the Black / Black Camo come with a rain cover?
It does! I meant to show it in the video, but I forgot 😁
Although to be honest, the back is super durable, so you probably won't really need the cover.
@@tombuck I bought the backpack via your Amazon link.
THANKS, Tom ❤
Can you fit a MBP and an iPad?
Another excellent video, can you share the brand/link of colored table mat you are using in this video.
The brand is "GDBT" on Amazon- they have a lot of nifty designs 👍
Thanks for the info, unfortunately this color scheme is now not among the available choices at Amazon ☹️
Hey, great review.
I would like to ask you from where you get those blue and yellow buttons for the zipper. I mean those zipper caps. I hope you understand what I'm asking for :)
I found some nifty zipper pulls on Amazon: geni.us/k5z4K
I like them because they look neat and help keep the different zippers a bit more organized.
The non stretch side pocket is so it's stronger to hold a tripod in place.
It definitely works really well for that!
Well here we go again, Tom shows me something awesome, and I end up going out and buying it. 🤣 just kidding (kind of).
Haha, I don't feel bad for this one because the price is fair and the quality is phenomenal.
The best camera bag for me is the Peter McKinnon one. I can’t confirm the downsides of it in the review videos. The magnets are just fine and all the other points people love about it outweigh anything else. It’s just such an amazing camera bag. Plus you also get additional extras you can buy for it. I love it so much.
Will that Manfrotto hold my A7III w/ battery grip & 70-200, my a6400 w/ Sigma 16mm f/1.4, any random film SLR I decide to take with me, and like 2-3 extra lenses. Been looking for a bag that'll do all that and won't break the bank.
That would definitely be pushing it, but I think you could fit everything. I just don't know if it's tall enough for the gripped camera. I just measured, and the Manfrotto is 5.25 inches deep.
Nice review, can you confirm that the laptop compartment of the Tenba 14L can take in a MPB 14" M3? Thank you.
Can confirm! Have used it many times and just got back from a trip to NYC with my 14” M1 Max 👍
Why isn’t backside camera openings more common? I don’t like my whole back dirty and the straps dirty. Should be more common big reason I’m getting the Fulton
I don't know, it really makes the most sense!
Thank you for the "metric" 😊
I tried. As a 177m tall man, it can be tough to see down to my computer screen though.
The thing about the Manfrotto I don't like when traveling overseas is it declares to the world "THERE IS STEALABLE CAMERA EQUIPMENT IN HERE"
I feel like this one is pretty low key, but some of their bags (especially with more prominent logos) really do look like camera bags.
how does this bag fit under the seat in an airplane?
The 14L fits really well! I always end up in the worst possible seats, and it's never been a problem.
@@tombuck That's good to know and so do I. More often than not for one specific client, I'm usually in the last group to board. My current backpack is an older Tenba Roadie HDSLR/Video Backpack, but this thing is huge and i have to either hope for a bigger plane and throw it in the overhead, or jam it under the seat disturbing everyone. I need something that will keep my gear safe and be a stealth travel bag.
I guess you could say, that's your bag, baby 😂😅😞
The journey for the perfect camera bag. Lol. Enjoy.
If you ever wanna **Hand me Down--**Wink•Wink** any of those “Too Big Camera Bags”, I’ll gladly be your personal goodwill hahaha! I’m just about to be on the start of my RUclips journey, and a good bag is like the last thing I’m missing so much appreciated all the info, it’s definitely something overlooked by a lot of people, it’s definitely not something I actually thought would be a big “pet peeve” type of situation…. But man it’s so annoying when there’s just something so minor that you don’t like.
Ohhh just a thought , if you were to attach a “Molle strap attachment to the shoulder strap, you could then find a great way to install a cheap diy sternum strap that would also be able to be multifunctional :))) hopefully that maybe gives you a good idea!
No ONE EVER gives any hype to Vanguard bags....I suspect because they don't believe in marketing....I have four of their bags in different sizes and huge on value, low on hyped. I like their backpacks because they don't look like camera backpacks which is better for traveling....versus, hey I have $10K of camera gear in this bag.
Thanks for the recommendation! It’s always fun to find those unsung heroes out there.
Hi Tom! Im Yusaku long time subscriber. 😍🥰 i used to watching you and comment v.s.m.ochentmt. hope you remember me haha lol!
Great to see you here!! 🙌
@@tombuck thanks. Haha
