Let me know if you have any additional questions about the bag or my experience with it! Would love to do a follow up video answering all of your questions.
I have this bag too and its awesome. Ive used it traveling and hiking and and the features like the rolltop and rainfly have been so useful. Great content too!
Your document comment made me laugh out loud. I said the same thing every time I watched a review that mentioned documents in that pocket. They must be spy’s carrying classified documents that they want hidden😂.
Thanks, just got it. On the accessory straps, to strap a tripod to the bottom of the bag, it looks like you loop them back through the little flexible buckle on the strap so that they don't hang down too low.. Sorry hard to describe but thanks much and all the best.
Thank you very much, Jonathan! You made a good job with that video. I learned a lot and now can imagine better. I´m going to order that bag now despite the price is a little bit hurting. But - I hope so - it hurts only one time. Bye! Sven from Germany
Oh yeah completely understand. This one wasn't gifted to me so I felt the pain in my own wallet as well lol. But it's been very reliable for me, and looks like it will last me a long time. Hope you enjoy it!
This is such a great review. I've always loved how this bag looks but I was debating between a douchebag or the PM Nomadic bag. Now I'm grabbing this literally because of this review. Thanks!
The biggest downside to this bag is that the front material gets scratches easily (see 1:25). Do you get this problem? Is it serious enough to warrant attention?
Hi Jonathan, I have the old 21L but it was a bit too small for carrying photo equipment + books shopping and jacket. Wondering if the 31L is too big for a short guy (170cm) and dense urban travel? I don’t want to bump into others in small bookstores. And has the airflow design improved since the old one was sweaty?
Useful！ Thanks Bro. But most of the backpack was sold out. I was ordered this backpack Aegean Blue but it is just the bag not Photography Bundle. When I receive the backpack, I need find Camera Cube, or use the other cube to instead of it. Again, Thanks for your video.
Great review! i'm still between the 31 and the 21 on want to get. Is the 31L too big? sometimes with a big bag it can easily feel like a gym ball is attached to your back
Michael Fuentes yeah for sure know what you mean. The thin profile definitely helps with that. But for reference the girl at the lake at 3:42 is 5’9 and the girl at 6:20 is 5’7” and this is the 31. Totally depends on if you’re gonna be packing it to the brim though for traveling. But just keep in mind that if you do that with the 31, it will for sure get super heavy.
Great video! Did you find that the pack fit comfortably under the airplane seat? That’s an important factor for me because I don’t like having to count on finding space in the overhead storage locker.
Thank you! And yup! it has always fit under the seat for me every single time on multiple airlines and plane sizes. I'm the same way so it was also important to me. You'll find that it's a bit longer than the space if you have the roll top packed to the brim which might cause an issue if you have a grumpy flight attendant, but i'd say 95% of the time it never caused an problem.
Thanks for watching! Honestly I really think I might. I’m just waiting to “finalize” my setup. I picked up a BMPCC4K for video and was waiting for all the new camera drops to see what my hybrid will be (currently with an A7iii). But with all this COV*D stuff going it’s kind of changed how I use this bag since I don’t travel as much; now it’s more of a gig bag. So a couple things up in the air but in theory it looks like something I want lol.
Awesome video! Quick question : I don't have a camera nor will in the futur. Once a month I go to a different city for a 5-7 days getaway. Would you recommend it to me? (the price isn't a problem). Thanks Jonathan!
Hi, may I ask you. Did you get reply on your question or may be used it already? What is your thoughts about this bag during getaway trip. Thx in advance for your comments
This would be a nice pack for urban exploring but since theres no dedicated spot for a hydration bladder i probably wouldnt take this on a long mountain bike ride or hike . Shimoda action x 30 would be more suitable . Iam still thinking of picking this bag up thanks for the video
Hmm, yeah I see what you're saying. I haven't used a hydration bladder personally, but I'm wondering if you could maybe slide one into where the laptop sleeve is and have the rub come out the top between the zippers. In any case thanks for watching!
Not the front pocket (probably, maaaaybe you could squeeze it in with the weebill but it would be awkward), but I would usually carry my gimbal in water bottle pouch on the side and wrap it with a sock lol. Sounds ghetto but I've gotta my Ronin S all around the world like that and it works well.
