Yes, back then, but after I used Shimoda i never obsessed with other camera backpack. I obsessed with camera sling bag now 😅, but I'm gonna stick with my wandrd roam 9L for now.
You guys should give other Photographers/Cinematographers Helicopter rides! I think that would be a cool Promotion for both sides and give those other people a really cool experience!
Awesome you found a sling bag that fits your needs! Getting something that works is a real crap shoot, but sometimes things really work out. Great video.
The thing with bags is, that you never really know if one is perfect unless you use it for some time, thats my experience. So for me, there is just no way around trying different options every now an then, but money is the limiting factor. I have one to hang over my shoulder and a backpack, sadly I can almost never use the first one. Even with just my camera and a small lens in it, it's just to heavy and on the field it's just pain 🤠But I love smaller bags just to store the camera and when I'm on a location and running around all the time. So I think it's perfect for your use case, that's exactly what I would chose, too. And let me just say, I really enjoy packing bags for a trip, sooo ASMR and comforting!
Just discovered you guys recently and I love your vibe! I’m also a Buffalo girl so everytime I hear a helicopter fly over I just pretend it’s you guys living your best life 😂😂 keep up the awesome content! 🤘🏻
Great video. Used to shop all of the time for camera gear / bags until I got sick. Makes you realize what you want vs need, and what you can live without. Stopped buying and just sticking with my PD 5L sling bag. Not as versatile as the WANDRD bag, but I’ll live with it.
I just tried this and the PD 6l and went for the PD because it doesn't stick out as far off your body, fits essentially the same gear, plus the strap just fit my body better
Hey guys, I just want to thank you. Right now my liffe is kind monotonous (but this is not a problem, everyone has some monotonousity in its life I guess), the fact is that right now I don't feel like I have the "right people" to surrounding myself with, those with who I shared the same passion or interests, and I'm really the kind of person who believes that everyone of us is the avarage off the 5 people he/she spend more time with; and just now I realise that watching your video every day or listening your posdcast while I'm doing my staff makes me feel as I am surrounded by the "right people" for me. You are keeping me company and teaching staff I love to know more about. You are also a wonderful couple and a really funny and enjoyable people. So I just wants to say thank you for doing content and shering it whit all off us. ☺
I was never a sling user until I tried Pete’s sling. Instant convert. Keeps my mirrorless body + 24, 50, and all the accessories and filters ready for action.
Time for a set "6 pin" headset cords that use "ship's power" and jacks to go with them. Alternately someone now makes a USB rechargable AA lithium battery regulated to 1.5v that is compatible with your headsets... Enjoyed the video as always.
Came back to this video. With college sports almost back in session, I am looking for a good sling bag for my shoots. I have a sling but its very loose and not really structured so you can't ceep things from banging up against eachother in the back. This looks to have some sturdy walls to it so might be the move!
This is my first time viewing one of your videos, and I must say that your content was so cool and entertaining. I have never thought about helicopter EDC, or helicopter life/travel ever before, so I also learned a few things from you. I can’t wait to see another video from you now 😊
I’ve scoured video reviews of the 6L and no one has mentioned if the bag will Mount in anyway to a suit case handle. I regularly use this as a lens bag for when I shoot events or weddings and I normally have a carry all roller I’d strap it to and on occasion to a suitcase at airports. Even if the top handle is wide enough to do this or not
Thanks again awesome creatives! I still look forward to your videos here. I sometimes listen to your podcasts because you two are great in front of the camera, and behind the camera too! Becki and Chris you guys are awesome! I restore and fix vintage Singer Sewing Machines from the 1940's, 1950's. That is why I come here to make my films improve. I am not trying to be you ... I am trying to be me. I love you guys from your channel. I think you are super-good people. Thank you. Have fun, keep safe.
I have 3 WANDRD bags, 1 is a sling. Love the brand and I've beaten them up pretty well. I had a zipper problem after a couple of years and they sent me a new bag right away
I use the Bellroy 10L camera sling . I’m not a sling person either but I’ve fallen in love wiry this thing . Actually used it yesterday morning to record down at the beach . Love Wndrd too ! 💪🏼 Anyway . ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
I'm switching from dedicated camera bags to lame backpacks with camera inserts. I find they are more comfortable. That said, I still enjoy well done videos! Good job.
I narrowed my camera bag search down to the wandrd, moment, and Think Tank 25i. Ended up going with the 25i for my general walking around bag. Didn’t want something that screamed camera bag.
After flying over 10,000 hours in choppers, I feel your pain. You can always wash the socks and underwear in the sink to save some weight. Wring them out in a towel to speed up drying 😎🚁
What's that next big helicopter trip????? How does C-FMVU do a flyby of that awesomeness? Edit: I just had to watch a little longer... Let's fly to Quebec City. We've got a great little place inside the wall, lots of incredible phot ops.
Love WANDRD so much. Rockin' my 41L PRVKE and love it since last year for travel and weddings. Now I'm looking at this one for some smaller stuff, is it comfortable to wear only at waist? Just considering this to use at waist and not at sling mode, so I don't know...
Amazing the lengths people will go to for a bathroom outing 🤣🤣🤣 btw still enjoyed the video, who doesn't love camera bags there all part of the GAS problem, just ask Chris 👍😎
I hear you. So many bags. I just bought the LowePro ProTactic 450. Is this one the bag to rule them all? Time will tell. Originally had bought the Protactic 300 ll but it was just a smidge to small. 😉
IDK, that's still alot of load in a small 6l bag on one shoulder. Why not the Nomatic Sling? I'm still wondering why we have so many camera bags on the market. In day and age, we can not come up with the perfect camera bag. What multitool is that?
I have the Nomatic sling too and it’s great but the strap doesn’t come off and it can’t hold the water bottle and tripod at same time which is a must for our small trips. The closest thing to a perfect camera bag for me is the Nomatic PM everyday bag, just wish it had a waist strap!
Hey Chris, I see you ditched the old helmets and are flying with a new style which incorporates your BOSE headsets. Who manufacturers then?!have a link?
I just have a small draw string bag/dust cover I use for my helmet. It fits inside the top of the WANDRD PRVKE as well which is handy for bringing more kit. Chris still uses his big dedicated helmet bag.
Wanted to see what could fit inside this bag as a matter of photographic equipment...had informations about EDC stuff I have no care about that could fit into... Disappointed to say the least.
@@BeckiandChris I have your problem with PD stuff. Funny I just wrote a review for their V1 5ltr sling. I called it "I filled it and then it asked for more". Little things like SD card or battery slots, two with red stitching and two with black, so you can tell full from empty. I also have one of their backpacks and I had it a year before discovering a small magnetically sealed stash pocket lol.
12 camera bags… I have 12 bags dedicated for cameras from brands like PeakDesign, DoucheB, and Nomatic(PM) 🤦♂️ I obviously don’t need that many but I completely understand 😅
What times we live in. Watching a video about people who own a helicopter that bought another camera bag that they didn’t need. Everything is content, everything is content. Don’t forget to film it, don’t forget to film it.
If I had a dime for every time my wife said "I really gotta do my peach" while I was in my imaginary helicopter, I'd have... $0.00. But in my car? $1,245,37.10
