I have been pretty lucky with hauling my gear, but I was on a shoot last year with another cam op who carried his camera and lenses in a backpack. His logic was that he already had the backpack and wasn't going to spend money on a dedicated camera bag. Inside the backpack, most of the gear was unprotected (so gear was rubbing against other gear), and the backpack lacked many pockets or dividers for sorting equipment and it had cheap zippers. The cheap zippers proved to be the worst feature, as one failed during the shoot we were on. As he picked up the back, THREE of his lenses fell out, one of which became trashed, and another had a big ding in the front element that prevents him for installing lens filters. I felt pretty bad that his attempt to save money turned into a very expensive lesson. BTW, I own the Tenba Cinelux 21 Hightop and agree it's a wonderful bag. It's heavy when full of gear, but enables me to fully rig my camera and start shooting within moments.
This is super genius! I hate taking my rig apart and constantly rebuilding it every time I travel to a gig with it. And most pelicans aren’t big enough for a fully rigged out cam. No worse experience, but I’ve carried my cam in a baby car seat a few times lol
The worst camera case experience happened when my Arri Alexa mini accidentally fell out from a helicopter into the Indian ocean. Luckily the depth in that place was pretty shallow, so, we went down very quickly and I dove in and got it. Unfortunately the hard case wasn't waterproofed...And Alexa got drunk. It took me a while to get her to her senses.
For a while on shoots (when I first started out as a filmmaker) I spent all my money on a camera and a lens but no carrying case or bag for the equipment, so I would use a generic laptop shoulder bag with news papers stuffed inside to prevent damage to my equipment. Now that I think about it, I wasn't the smartest decision I've made lol
My personally worst camera case experience happened a few years back: I was two hours away from taking off to a local gig. I left my pelican case open as I gathered together my kit and checked my lenses. Popped out of the room for two minutes and when I returned my sick, 19-year-old orange tabby was inside the Pelican, scratching the edges, having just unleashed his crystallized horror pee and I watched as the urine seeped in into the foam and around the dividers. We looked at each other and the old guy limped off. I gathered three of my toddler's shoe boxes, put in handfuls of her little socks, set a 5D mk III in one of them, a 100mm in another, and batteries, charger and cables in the last one, then stuffed all three in an IKEA messenger bag we used for mail sorting, and ran off to my gig. Everything worked out, shoot was great, I was laughed at, got in very late, headed to my little "studio"room, suddenly led there by the odor, opened the door and realized I had a pelican case to clean. Despite it all, that cat was the greatest. Good shot, too.
I once carried my camera fully rigged out inside of a duffle bag. The connected cables got bent during transit which rendered a few of the components useless for the shoot. Lesson learned, and luckily the ports on the camera were not damaged.
Oh my god I have THE experience! I use the peak design everyday backpack and it really is a love/hate relationship. I love using it but I once forgot to close both sides of the bag and one side was open. My 16-35 lens fell out onto the concrete floor and was instantly broken... I will never forget that sound of the lens hitting the floor...
Last month I went to Aqaba, Jordan. I had my C200 in a roller SKB case. Upon arriving at customs officials went thru every piece of equipment in my case (lenses, cables harddrives, rods and assembly parts for my cage rig. They literally had me assemble my whole rig with every piece in my case. It would have been great to have had my camera preassembled. I later found out that they thought I was carrying a drone ( i wasn't, but that's why they questioned every piece of equipment in my bag). This bag would be perfect especially around the city while doing run and gun music video's instead of wedging the camera on the passenger side floor with jackets and stuff when going from location to location.
Flying through a Virginia Airport a few months ago, the TSA asked for combination lock for Pelican case instead of allowing me back to open it for them. After arriving home I realized they had opened all gear, clearly threw it back into case without packing it as I had done (Secure), and the Sony A7R II and my Mac I7 laptop were both severely banged up and both damaged. Screen on A7R II now has two large green lines through screen (Luckily doesn't show on footage), and Mac had the back so smashed in around the internal fan, the fan stopped working and our IT department had to disassemble and bang out back of laptop with a hammer, to stop fan from being impeded from back of case that was smashed in. Lesson earned, don't let TSA search your gear without being present! :(
A few years ago I had a Guinea pig, Crash. He was always free in my room. And yes, I went to a little set and after arriving (luckily a really short travel) I found him inside my bag. We laughed, and we set him free in the studio.
I had shoot early in my career on a small island in the Outer Banks North Carolina. I had not yet learned the lesson to not buy cheap knock off product if you need reliability. So in my cheap nylon camera bag was my brand new Canon 5DII along with several L glass lenses. Pretty much the entirety of my early photography business was in that bag. As I stepped off the boat onto the dock one of the double handles separated from the bag causing the bag to violently shift over to one side. This caused the velcro top to rip open and send the contents of my bag to the bottom of about 7 feet of sea water. Lost the equipment, lost the shoot and lost the client. Two major lessons learned that day. One don't buy cheap bags. Two insurance companies are evil and will do anything they can to not pay out a claim.
Back when I was shooting rock climbing on DSLRs, I set up an anchor above the climber but didn’t realize the camera wasn’t secure. Yep, the camera fell and hit the climber causing him to fall off the wall on his long term project. Didn’t shoot a lot with him after that, I still can’t believe it hit him.
I drop mine in a canon bag. It is ready to take out and drop on the fluid head. I leave the 18-80 T4.4 lens on the camera (it’s fairly long). The last time I went out, I took two extra lenses and bpa-60 batteries, cables and extra c-fast carts (512sd). The trouble is that it has a large CANON logo on the side. Black gaffer tape will work until it catches on something and rolls off. I just don’t like advertising which bag to steal first. That is a great looking bag in the review. Thank you for your time.
Hey I liked that model a lot but my setup is smaller. Thought of it so I could use it for short trips and put like a couple of shirts and undies. Went with the Roadie Hybrid Roller 21. Super sturdy and great to travel with.
Here’s my story. The thing to remember here is that I am disabled. I have a bad leg from a motorcycle accident, so everything I carry, everything I pack, has to be very carefully considered. I was going to go shoot some video of the ferry building in San Francisco. I had packed my Sony gear and two lenses into a brand new shoulder-style bag. I don’t recall the brand but whatever. Since I didn’t want to be assembling all of my gear out by the water, I had assembled it all at home, and ripped out all of the dividers in the bag so that I could put the entire assembled kit into the large hollow cavity. However, the bag was too small, and at the time it was the only one that I had. I had my Sony A7S, two Canon lenses, Atomos shogun, all of it in cages and rigged together. Without dividiers I had to stuff the spare unattached lens into the bag next to the rig, inside a cloth lens bag with drawstrings. I got to the spot I wanted to shoot from, carrying the bag in my right hand with the top flap open cause, again, too small for my assembled kit. In my left hand I had my cane, which I need to walk. You know where this is going. Things move in transit and the drawstring of my spare lens snagged on one of the 15mm rods. I didn't realize it because I was trying to work the front of the assembled rig free of the small bag with my cane clutched under my arm. Managed to get the rig out, which pulled the loose lens out as well and... yup. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L series took three bounces on the concrete of the ferry terminal before diving into the San Francisco Bay. All I could think of at the time was, "I should have spent the extra money on the larger bag." Still have the insurance claim for the lens if proof is needed 😀.
I was shooting in North Korea and began getting a lot of attention from locals waiting for a bus. I'm used to being watched there but this was still kind of special. They weren't willing to approach me, language barriers, but they were talking to my tour guides a lot. Later, when we has moved on, I asked one of them what they wanted. It turns out North Korean men really like these manbags, a kind of oversized wallet they carry under their arms, and they were watching my neoprene shoulder-mounted camera bag. They assumed this was my manbag and that the big foreigner with the big camera must be carrying a hella lotta cash around on him. Okay, so at this point I am thinking the story was kinda cute. But then the guides asked me to leave the bag in the car. The reason: they had to pay a local cop a bigger bribe to leave us alone in that place because he assumed I was rich.
I was using a re-purposed Porter Case (orginally used to transport projectors). Looks like a Pelican case, but it's not nearly as sturdy. So you can guess what happened when someone tried to use it as an apple box. Foot went right through the shell (thankfully, my camera was no longer in it. Bummer is that they don't even make the same model anymore.
One time I went out with some friends - brought my camera to capture the moments. Little did I know that I forgot my memory card at home. So I had to carry this camera all night without being able to take a single picture 😁👍
Back when I was a film student I brought my Canon 600D onto location in a plastic bag with all the bits and bobs rolling around in it. Not great... Although it did start raining that day and I managed to turn the plastic bag into a homemade camera raincover. ☔
Worst experience would have to be that most insurance for transportation of camera equipment is invalidated if you transport it in a soft case. If you have any kind of crash / damage while in transit, a car, van etc etc many insurance policies will not pay out because it has to be in a hard case, flight case or peli case etc
Last year my producers Canon C300 was almost kept by customs because I didn’t have Carnet and the camera and lenses were worth more than $10K. I got off with a warning but I played that nightmare scenario in my head over and over again. 😬
I walked 2 miles in close to freezing temperatures in outback western Australia to shoot the Milky way. I've never done busy walks before let alone at night, and didn't know whether to expect packs of ravenous wild dogs, crazy territorial emus or kangaroos that wanted to have a boxing session. With only my headlamp to light most of the way to my shooting area, I was regularly turning around to check what some random noise was, large stick in hand to defend myself if need be. But the worst part of it all was carrying the camera, lens and tripod, all in my freakin messenger style bag! Why the hell did I not choose a backpack?!
I went on a hike to Runyon Canyon with some friends - I brought my camera to capture the moments - but I totally forgot to bring anything else with me - No Bag - No Strap - Nothing. So I had to hike the 2 - 3 hours of Runyon with a camera in my hand and no way to store it or put it away at all.
Recently had a shoot for a client in here in Tasmania. We were filming on a Red setup that we keep dissembled in a road case between shoots. The client wanted some footage of aboriginal middens that involved a short walk along a beach. We worked out that the best plan of action would be to take the Red fully rigged and ready and just walk it in. A Cam would take the Red, the assistant would take the tripod, and I would take my backpack with a gimbal kit. Well the walk along a beach turned out to be further than expected. The old "It's must be just a bit further". We were walking in soft sand for 90 minutes. Eventually the client listened to the aboriginal elder we were with and we found the spot; which we had to bush bash over sand dunes to actually get to it. Once at the midden, it started to rain, so the lenses started to get water on them and the sand stuck to our clothes. I took off my own t-shirt to wipe down the cameras, then used my rain coat to protect the Red. Then it was another 90 minute trek back to the carpark. The Tenba sure would have been handy.
Two questions. 1) Do you think its better to keep the camera assembled in a bag like that. Or keep it in a Pelican? i store my Varicam in a Protabrace. But I noticed so small skuffs here and there over the two years of owning it. 2) Im curious, are you applyin a LUT to your video or is that the native skin tone from the camera?

All my bags were seized and I was almost detained myself. They thought we were journalists. Luckily my friend had the 5D in his bag. With one lens. And somehow a lav mic. So we did all of our content on that for four days. Went back the airport to leave and paid $650 dollars to get my gear back. It helped having more than one bag then. But ever since that trip I've sworn by Tenbas long rolling bags. I had a long bag from Porta brace bust open that same trip in India. 😅 NEVER had a Tenba bag break. I have two long bags. Definetly looking at this one for my C200 rig. 🤙🏼
This is actually extremely smart and just what I was looking to get for my C200. If I could have your advice Rubidium, would you recommend the 21 Hightop or the 24 for the C200 if I wanted to carry some additional lenses as well? Thanks for your help!
I had the pleasure of shooting a video for a company in Alberta, awesome right ? Except i had to cary 3 bags for my canon c200 with all its components and my needs.... up 3 sisters peak a 6 hour hike !!! Great experience but wish I had this type of bag.
Hi Rubidium, would that C200 rig fit in the regular 21 inch (not the hightop version). I have a Red Scarlet W, top handle, mattebox etc. Just would like to know if it would fit in regular 21
@@Crimsonengine Ahhh I see.. thanks so much for the review. You're the only one that actually demonstrated the physical camera going in the bag... a lot of the other reviews just blabber on without showing....cheers for that. I'll get the regular 21 shoulder bag
Uh, Sachtler already had these. 2:47 Not a game changer. This be thing we did for 20 years use portabrace shooting TV. Business always change, new generations use DSLR do builds for everything but not learn history of their work. Game changer for you I understand, not for field. You may also do with hardcase place camera flat but soft has it time and place. 1:21 Always carry backup of every cable addition try to carry soldering set. Nice shirt. I’m Tuernah and THIS is my Masterclass.
I was asked to fly down to Florida to shoot a music video with zero time to plan I had to bring some lights and my camera rig I only hard case that I've never used the seem to be the right size for the carry-on overhead bin the case just had to foam inserts no cutouts so I jam-packed everything into that case here's where things started going wrong the flight attendant told me I couldn't bring that on the plane she would have to check it I was upset but I had to check it when I get to Florida open the case everything was wet inside condensation got in side all my equipment including the camera I got to the hotel and I had to lay everything out and blow dry everything the grip closed the case he thought he latched it because it's such a cheap case it's hard to latch so when I pick it up everything fell out oh and because I had to have everything taken apart I forgot my base plate so I had to do everything hand held. That was a bad day.

I used my toilatry bag for my A7ii... got residue toothpaste all over the camera and the lens. A part of me died that day.

Great review! Also brilliant name 😊
Thank you! 😁
Getting this bag for my UMP G2! Still can’t find a better way to handle so many cables lol it gets crazy pretty fast
Great unboxing
MR. PRINCE thanks!!
Two questions.
1) Do you think its better to keep the camera assembled in a bag like that. Or keep it in a Pelican? i store my Varicam in a Protabrace. But I noticed so small skuffs here and there over the two years of owning it.
2) Im curious, are you applyin a LUT to your video or is that the native skin tone from the camera? Feels a little greenish.
Ha! Worst carry. Not sure if this counts:
I was flying to the small country Bahrain off the coast of Saudi Arabia. I had brought a C100 with me and my 5D.
I got stopped at customs. All my bags were seized and I was almost detained myself. They thought we were journalists. Luckily my friend had the 5D in his bag. With one lens. And somehow a lav mic. So we did all of our content on that for four days.
Went back the airport to leave and paid $650 dollars to get my gear back.
It helped having more than one bag then. But ever since that trip I've sworn by Tenbas long rolling bags. I had a long bag from Porta brace bust open that same trip in India. 😅
NEVER had a Tenba bag break. I have two long bags. Definetly looking at this one for my C200 rig. 🤙🏼
Could you tell me if the roller’s handle locks at different stages? Thanks!
This is actually extremely smart and just what I was looking to get for my C200. If I could have your advice Rubidium, would you recommend the 21 Hightop or the 24 for the C200 if I wanted to carry some additional lenses as well? Thanks for your help!
I would go with the 21 hightop. The 24 is just huge :)
Crimson Engine Thanks for the reply and advice. I actually picked up the 21 hightop last week and I love it!
Hi
Is the tenba cinelux 21 Hightop still a bag you recommend buying in 2023 for my canon c200?
Yes! Just open it up and shoot!
Thanks you.
I had the pleasure of shooting a video for a company in Alberta, awesome right ? Except i had to cary 3 bags for my canon c200 with all its components and my needs.... up 3 sisters peak a 6 hour hike !!! Great experience but wish I had this type of bag.
Hi Rubidium, would that C200 rig fit in the regular 21 inch (not the hightop version). I have a Red Scarlet W, top handle, mattebox etc. Just would like to know if it would fit in regular 21
It does. The c300 needs the high-top. I like it because I can leave the monitor on the top of my rig with the high top (i.e. like a red)
@@Crimsonengine Ahhh I see.. thanks so much for the review. You're the only one that actually demonstrated the physical camera going in the bag... a lot of the other reviews just blabber on without showing....cheers for that. I'll get the regular 21 shoulder bag
I always used my baby diaper back pack to put my canon c200 inside of it😂
Herbert DaSilva Me to lol, they work wonders..so many pockets
1:57 Woah! How'd you do that???
c200 was in a Pelican case, then got stolen in San Fran. Pelican case 10/10 tho.
Those kinds of bags here in the Philippines are quiet expensive and is very rare to see. I would love to win the giveaway. Yeay!
Starts @1:55
OMG , its my dream to get it , a dream that for me is impossible to buy , I hope that I will be the lucky one
Worst experience was having to put my cinema Franken-rig into a DIY coffin made of a milk crate and a sound blanket 😰
Me..awesome bag I need that kind of bag

Uh, Sachtler already had these.
2:47 Not a game changer. This be thing we did for 20 years use portabrace shooting TV. Business always change, new generations use DSLR do builds for everything but not learn history of their work. Game changer for you I understand, not for field.
You may also do with hardcase place camera flat but soft has it time and place.
1:21 Always carry backup of every cable addition try to carry soldering set.

I’m Tuernah and THIS is my Masterclass.
I was asked to fly down to Florida to shoot a music video with zero time to plan I had to bring some lights and my camera rig I only hard case that I've never used the seem to be the right size for the carry-on overhead bin the case just had to foam inserts no cutouts so I jam-packed everything into that case here's where things started going wrong the flight attendant told me I couldn't bring that on the plane she would have to check it I was upset but I had to check it when I get to Florida open the case everything was wet inside condensation got in side all my equipment including the camera I got to the hotel and I had to lay everything out and blow dry everything the grip closed the case he thought he latched it because it's such a cheap case it's hard to latch so when I pick it up everything fell out oh and because I had to have everything taken apart I forgot my base plate so I had to do everything hand held. That was a bad day.
