Revealing My Camera Bag MAJOR Upgrade. (Completely Revamped Sony Setup) 

Love seeing your camera gear videos!

The pacing on your videos is so good sara. Literally watch anything you put out (even the ads and stuff) and it's always fun to watch!

It doesn't surprise me that most social media people go through the peak design etc., bags first before coming to a photography brand bag. They were on everyone's wish list. Tenba is a great back; I like it because it's small and still functional. My everyday back is the Lowepro Protactic 450, and my lite version is the Protactic 350. Have fun at NAB!=

Fun setup, amazing all the stuff you can get into that bag.

YES Camera Bag! Love seeing you gear videos. You're always heavy on functionality.

I just bought the Tenba Axis 24L V2 just 2 weeks ago. Definitely an amazing bag.

Nice camera setup Sara!

This was an incredible video. Thank you Sara!!

I'm the same with the A7SIII. I love the form factor, I'm so fast with the custom buttons, and overall much prefer the body layout to the FX3 and FX30.

“Temba, his arms wide.”

Love me the DJI Mic system. Use it on doco shoots ALL the time ... raised my audio game!

That old Macintosh in the background rocks! I'm old enough to remember them when they were new. All the folks in the drafting department at work had them. Those Sony machines just aren't anywhere close to my budget, but I do also love dials on a camera and aperture rings on lenses. Two years or so ago I was able to find a barely used X-T3 at a great price. I'm still using it and really like it. Now, I'm not a video shooter, only photography for now. So, the X-T3 is plenty of camera for me. Maybe I will be able to afford a newer body some day. Until then, I'm still enjoying this one. Thanks for the bag tour! I love bags with MOLLE loops for attaching things. I almost got the LowePro bag that is similar to yours. But, I ended up getting the Hatchback instead because I wanted the access panel on the back of the bag. But, yours has both!! Will have to check it out. Have a rockin' weekend!

hell yeah, been eying the Tenba bags, happy to see them being peachy approved. looking at the Fulton V2 though

You are a life savior, this bag is really good for me

Tenba bags are so underrated. Love a good compact backpack!

My Tenba Messenger has gone to work, daytrips, and far away vacations in Japan and Indonesia. It’s held my Canon DSLRs to an R5 today, and still looks brand new. I trust this bag with my life, super reliable!

Tenba is really really good. They are seriously awesome. Not only are they bags extremely functional but they look great! Not something I can say with many other brands that do camera bags. I rock the Tenba Fulton V2 16L and it holds a truckload of stuff including the MBP 16". Even so, it retains a slim silhouette which is just so satisfying. Can't recommend Tenba enough.

@6:20 was so clutch. I have the rode wireless go 1 & 2. Was just thinking about selling, but I have those handheld attachments and you just showed me I have no reason NOT to sell now 🙌🏾

Flat Pencils for the win! I loved that little analog segment in the middle of all this tech!

Thanks for Sharing Sara 😊

I've got that bag. It is dope. I could have used mayyyyyybe a little more vertical but WYGD.

Lucky me - I am looking for a camera bag. Nice video!

Sara, I love the Sony ECM-B10 mic. My settings are auto and digital. I never use any of the filters as they make my voice sound weird. But yes, I am a fan.

love tenba bags! just got my wife the logitech with the touchpad for her ipad pro- its great =)

Great stuff as always Sara, it's always nice to see what others carry in their bags on trips & away days as it usually boils down to the things they use and trust the most. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Where I live (the UK) the PD Carbon tripod is over £500 - I know that price can be less of a factor with high quality products, and I really love Peak Design's stuff, so do you believe it's a worthwhile investment for what you get? I presume you value the carbon fiber build for lack of weight, but considering I can find alumin(i)um tripods that have similar low-profile designs & features for less than half the price, I need some convincing, especially with the mixed reviews the PD has received. 2. Do you find it annoying/frustrating that you have to carry an additional charger for your iPhone when everything else runs on USB-C? Yes, there's MagSafe wireless charging but that's more like a power bank (I also have one of these) so I just wondered if it ever bothers you that you're having to reach for a different cable or charger to recharge your phone. 3. Where did you get that unbranded windshield for the Rode Interview Go? Also, you didn't mention it in the video but the A7IV is a pretty good hybrid camera - I lean more on the photography side than video usually but coupled with that 14mm f1.8 GM you would have a pretty good vlogger setup along with your Switchpod. And my great uncle was a carpenter so I grew up around flat pencils - designed to be exactly where you left them!

I really like the progress bar on the sponsor spot ! Don’t know if you have it on any other videos but first time I noticed it 😁

Nail polish remover (WITHOUT ACETONE!) removes the RODE logo from the microphone windshield pretty well. It's like never have been there. I'm talking about the microphone handle where you stick the DJI mic. Tested it on mine 👌

great size bag

This video is peak Sarah and I’m here for it!!

Haha I laughed when you said “You guys must be exhausted” and “We’re going back in” Your energy is great and gave me a few giggles lol. Love my Sony a7iv

I struggle to get gripped d850s in some bags they havnt the depth , i got the temba axis 32l . Its mahoosive , so im using my lowepro 450 , fits a nikon 200-500f5.6

This girl literally has everything on clutch. I thought I carried a lot of equipment, lol. Now I need to start carrying some of the things I never thought of!

Great video! How have I not heard of the switch pod? I will be picking one up 🙂

Horizontal scroll in editors seems cool!

The bag looks very similar to like the Lowepro protactic 350 that I have, but with a lot more extra accessible pockets on the outside.

I really like the word cushioning

Tenba makes serious kit. I still have their messenger style bag after 7 yrs

One tip for mouse - try to bind CTRL+C / CMD+C to the left wheel move and CTRL+V/CMD+V to the right. And I agree - this is the ultimate mouse.

Hey, I know you from Twitter! Also, I actually really love that ECM-B10 dunno why, but it’s worked really well for me.

Thanks for another great review! This bag looks awesome. I love the styling of it. The 14mm lens was not even on my radar, until now…it looks perfect paired with the A7IV. (Side note: Some of these comments are outrageous, the misogyny is heavy-I do not know how you deal with it, but you are a champ!)

Great video

Great job on the video Sara! Thanks for making it. I'm a film student here in Vegas and we were strongly encouraged (bribed with extra credit) to go to NAB so maybe I will get the chance to say hello!

I am struggling with my bag and computer configuration. I have a Dell G5 15 SE 5505, which is a 15.6" gaming laptop. It's kind of a boat anchor (including the enormous AC adapter) with crummy battery life, but it's my only computer. It's plenty fast for photo and video editing, which is important to me. So, I was thinking about getting a more portable laptop or something that fits better in my messenger bag. It doesn't have to do video editing (though that would be nice), but photo editing is a necessity. I need something with JUST ENOUGH power that is portable and dirt cheap. Used hardware is not only an option, but I prefer to go used. Chromebooks don't seem good enough for the job. I was eyeing computers with Iris Xe graphics, but do I even need that much power? Any recommendations?

You want a bag for gear? The Rush 12 or Rush 24 by 5.11 makes an awesome gear bag

Hopefully I will see you there!👍

Come on Sara we all know when you get serious about family photography you grab the Leica 🤗 Totally agree with you that the Logitech anywhere mouse is the best 👍😎

Hi Sara, do you have any recommendations for a good hair light? Thanks!

I’ve been using that bag for my wedding stuff for the biggest size, and it’s my favorite of all bags, super rugged materials and the ergonomics for your back it’s outstanding. Grate choice

Just come across this video, you are the first person I've watched with this bag to actually wear it to show you how big it actually is, I am looking at the 24L version, only thing that puts me off is you can't unclip the two straps that hold your tripod in. Can those two clips on the front be removed to replace them with clips that fasten

hI, LOVED the video. Started my monday with this and johns recently video. Good way to start the day. One note, you forgot to add the ending animatio assets like previous video and the subscribe button and such. ok byeeeee

I have a FX6 and I am looking for a camera backpack for my camera so it would be easier to bring back n forth from home to campus instead of carrying my hefty bag. Any suggestions?

with the sony mic u godda turn the directionality to the middle position, or full surround. the low end gets cut in the "shotgun" mode... also the active noise reduction makes it sound less natural, if u don't need it for live then better to do in post

I agree with your dislike of the Sony hotshoe mic (Sony ECM-B10). I spent the $$$ to buy it for my vlogs but honestly my $50 Rode VideoMicro sounds better (especially in wind).

I got myself a Tenba bag as well but a bit bigger, due to my Lumix BGH-1. However, my biggest huddle is that I have to make less than 7 kg (15 pounds) as carry-on bag, for my travelling around South East Asia, and I'm trying to find a laptop that is small and lightweight but it can takes a punch in graphics and rendering but man, Tenba is THE BEST ever bag to carry around.

Shimoda and F-Stop make the best camera bags. Peak look cool but yeah they don't compare to the kings. Shimoda Explore v2 is on another planet though to these. This bag your showing is nice for sure though. Still as usual a fire ass video Sara. Love it.

16:16 holds up the life changing Rode thread adapters but didn't talk about it rip. Honestly that thing has come in clutch for me

I really like the sony hot shoe mic - not having the cable is great, auto level is great, no battery is great. I was under the impression it was just as good interesting to know. However I am not at your level where I've an audience or a studio etc. My whole setup is designed to be semi portable and simple and it's good enough for me.

I love my dji wireless lavalier microphones 🥹

Switch out that Apple charger with a GaN based one, and then use the MagSafe connector to the Mac. The GaN adapters all have multiple ports, plus you can use the ports on the MBP to charge. I carry two chargers that combined are barely bigger than the Apple charger, but I can charge two iPhones, an Apple Watch, an iPad Pro, two Fuji batteries, and my MacBook Air M2; all at full charging speed and with my two USB-C ports on the MBA itself available for additional charging if needed.

Does anybody know if Logitech is continuing updates and support for their keyboards? I have been having issues with some keys that give me different symbols.

How much is the total weight of the backpack with all the stuff? It doesn't have the chest strap which helps to evenly distribute the weight and not over stress the shoulder and waist.

I’m going to NAB!

Wow it looks like a better version of the Lowepro ProTactic.

You should ask Peter Lindgren about how to set up the Sony mic 🙂 A collab between you two could fun too 🙂

Do you have a link to that camera equipment cabinet? Looks amazing

The fact that you still rock the A7siii as your main run gun when you have the means to have any camera you want truly speaks to how confident you are in your abilities. That is awesome!! You are awesome. I loved this video. Just ordered the mic handle for my DJI lavs!

I rock the lowepro 450 bag and almost always think this is an unnecessarily large bag, but always liked that look, I think you just solved my next purchase. so cool. Thanks Sara!!

Wow the peak tripod is about a thousand usd where I live in Asia. Dunno the price on your end but that's insane for a tripod.

Thank God I'm not the only person preferring a smaller bag 😅

just wondering, how do you sharpen those flat pencils? I can't imagine

The "Love is Blind" photographer call out got me lol

Ihave 16 inch MacBook Pro, which beg would you recommend? Thanks

Which lav mic do you use with the DJI mic?

What Mic is currently boomed recording your talking head videos?

When you're showing us how big a backpack is, it would help to know how tall you are so we can all imagine it on someone we know of the same height.

Are you using the 11" or 12.9" iPad

Resolve on iPad?! Time get back on the tech tubes as I clearly missed that one... Cool carry gadgets.

I still have my a7siii no need to upgrade*** for me I'm not a film maker lol

That's definitely not 20l it's more like 25-28l. But I really think you should rock brevite jumper or similar backpack will suit your style much better. Ofc if you manage to fit everything you need. Or maybe just try to minimize the gear.

Wait so you’re not using the Sony ZVE one?

Pls send the link of your investment portfolio vid.. can't seem to find it!

My daughter asking for a tablet with pan thanks for mentioning the Logitech crayon, I didn’t even think to look 3rd party for iPad.

Alright, ready to level up? The pen and gaff tape trick is great, but….. The missed opportunity is that a black marker should be wrapped in white tape. Now you can write on it! Need a name tag? Got it. Someone showed up on set with the same bag, tripod, ect as you? Put your name on it. Speaking of names, can’t remember the talent or clients name. Stick a reminder to your tripod leg, or hide it under your laptop. Battery, cord, or piece of gear being flakey on set? Mark it to test later at studio. But only if you wrap white gaffer tape. ◼️⬜️ Love your videos, I never feel like I’m being sold to, or pandered to. Thanks

I've been looking all over the internet day in day out for some carpenter's pencils and everywhere is sold out. Now I know why. Sara b hoarding lol

The only bummer about these Tenba bags is that they are pretty uncomfortable. I switched to a Shimoda pack a year ago, and the difference is huge.

Send us a post card from NAB!

wow you own the Peter McKinnon bag?? that bag was very very expensive,I could never afford that bag 😅😀

You moved to Los Angeles and you brought rain here in the month of June

❤

I love your videos. Would you and Justine ever do a video together again?

Let's go half on a baby

The tiny Sony hotshoe mic suckssssss, the bigger one is great

Best female tech reviewer. Superior woman and always smiling and clued up. 👍

If you love a good carry-on like me, check out “July luggage” - carry-on pro is the best….

Let's make some noise

Thumb down for all the time used the name "Ipad"! I do sometime name my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: in a conversation I sometime called "my Tab S8" and sometimes (to be not too mononmanie) I called my Tablet. The same in a conversation you dont always used your dogs name like "My Andrey here, my Andrey there: Sometimes you just say: Andrey, My dog. etc....

PLEASE keep calling out Sony for not bringing firmware updates! LOL. I basically want everything that the ZV-E1 and FX3 have, but in the A7SIII - it's more expensive than both of them! Maybe it'll finally be worth it to upgrade from APS-C.

It needs a cross strap

How many things may be required. So the desire to work may disappear😂

Don't use the frisbee trick? It's worth it. It'll Protect your $2k+ Camera if it falls on the tripod. Worth Spending a buck or two at the dollar store.
