Nice review cheers. Not sure why all these photo backpacks feel they must have a laptop sleeve? I don't know anyone that actually uses that, or takes a laptop out with them when they go shoot. Not sure what purpose a laptop serves when your out for a day shooting? What that laptop sleeve should have been is a Hydro Pack sleeve. This is essential when I'm out skiing, cycling, or hiking. A water bottle in a pocket, weather it be an add-on, or an elasticated pouch on the side of your rucksack, is next to usless. Forcing you to remove your rucksack just to get a drink, unless you have double jointed arms of course 🙂. The shoulder straps already have the required webbing straps to feed the Hydro Pack hose through. What a shame yet another photo rucksack designed for photographers who never need a drink...
Ive spent a lot of money on camera bags but have decided to use my old backpack and just shove everything into it carefully. I use my pro tactical 350 AW for my audio gear.
One of the best reviews of this bag, thanks! I am thinking about buying this bag for mountain biking and put a drone (Mavic Mini) in the top part to protect it from crashes. Does the backpack sit snug on your back without the waist band? Do you think the backpack would work at all when mountain biking? //Olof
Bike Adventures thank you! I believe so but I have zero experience mountain biking with it. You can still bring the waist band with you and put it on if you feel it is necessary!
Great review! I agree with you on all points. I hate that there is no included water bottle pouch on the bag itself. The Molle system is secure, but looks awful aesthetically. laptop isn;t a deal breaker for me, but it should at least fit what it claims to fit. Still on the fence between this bag and the Tenba Solstice / shootout bags.
Your music is way too loud - fighting with you all the way through. I found it difficult to concentrate on what you were saying!! I think the laptop issue is down to the purchaser making sure they read the spec then they know what size to buy!! I also woutld bave liked you to put your Fuji gerar into the bag to illustrate your point. Looking itno an empty space doesn't help much when trying to guage what will fit
A questo punto la versione Protactic 450 è la più ideale… io sto valutando l’acquisto da tempo, ma sono indeciso proprio per quanto riguarda lo spazio… il 350 forse un po’ troppo piccolo…
Sono d’accordo, dipende molto dalla tua corporatura. Io non sono alto e il 450 su di me sembra un frigorifero. Se però su di te è ok, vai assolutamente con il 450!
@@AndreaMitrani effettivamente sto vedendo molti video dove in spalla sembra enorme e mi scoraggia un po’ e vado a vedere i modelli 350, ma considerando che vorrei metterci una xt4 con grip… drone e avere un po’ di spazio per altri oggetti, le versioni 350 sono un po’ risicate… anche se si indossano meglio
@@AndreaMitrani Yesterday I bought this one: www.kamera-express.nl/product/12230476/lowepro-flipside-400-aw-ii-zwart/?channable=0069de69640031323233303437365f&zoek=flipside%20aw& not a badass like the protactic 350 but it is neither too big nor small and the 16 inch macbook pro fits in easily!
Just watched the video. Great points from a usage POV, however I think this bag is misunderstood. It was designed to be an outdoor multi access bag that allowed any miscellaneous items to be attached on the outside and without the rigidity of where it can be placed. I didn't like the design until I bought it very cheap 2nd hand. I use fuji and nikon and I deliberately use half the inside for gear & half for other items like a jacket. If I need more gear, then I use the optional accessories you can buy to attach to the bag. If I need to use bigger gear, I can attach my jacket to the outside of the bag. I've also attached a fold up stool to the bag when shooting motor sports all day. All that aside, i don't like the dividers and it is crap when wet. For me this bag can be sleek if you don't fill it up and it can mirror the marines if you want to take the kitchen sink with you. Having said all that, I can understand why you would send it back.

Thanks. The honest, detailed review I was looking for.
This was the most comprehensive review. Thank you. Especially for highlighting all of your gripes!
Thank you for the encouragement!

dude, you keep complaining about features of the bag that relates to size. You should have purchased the bigger one.
Aubrey Williams the problem is that the bigger one is TOO big.
@@AndreaMitrani buy the 450 and make a new video crying about it's too big
@@AndreaMitrani I've got the same issue now. Looking to buy the 350 because I think the 450 looks way too chunky.
@@Sleepwalkingok lmao 😂😂
The 450 is huge…i think the 350 would be perfect for my needs..good honest review 👍

What bag did you end up buying?
Great review thank you
Does the side accommodate a dslr? (nikon d800 is quite beefy). Thank you.
Yeah I think it does
so you say a 14" laptop will not fit.. I find it strange seeing the size
HunGerMovies it fits, but it struggles a bit, especially if the rest of the bag is full. It depends a lot on how thick the computer is.
15inch macbook fits easy
Great video

Hey, thank you! I replaced the bag with a Wandrd PRVKE 21 which I absolutely adore.
thanks for the info although i probably don’t need a bag with sexy name either lol

Thanks for the feedback, I will be more careful with the music and everything next time.
Disagree. I thought it was perfect. Gave a nice, soothing vibe.
good information!
Thanks!
Get the Freeline bp350,much better overall,have pro tactic 350 aswell will sell it now that i bought Freeline...
Need that bag tho ☹️ 😂lol i cant fit all my things in my bag already 😂
15inch laptop fits easily
Not in the 350. A 15 inch MBP (late 2013) does not fit.

the 350 is too small and the 450 is too big. I got you. there is not a middle model but the design is fucking nice.
Yep, that’s pretty much the point.
