Here is a link for Wotancraft Pilot bags: bit.ly/42ovx3j This is not an affiliate link, but I'll share this just so you can take a look.

The 7L is a really good bag and has ended my never-ending search for the perfect bag. Well, time will tell, but 2-years later, I havent yet looked for a change. The company is a pleasure to deal with, respond to questions immediately, and ship their products quickly.

@mengyuen9827 16 часов назад

I stack the divider to cover the height of the bag, then it works.

@joebrown479 3 месяца назад

I have had the 3.5L for almost a year. Took it to Europe to carry my Leica M11. Love it. I love the shoulder strap it came with even more. So comfortable and “glide-y” when you want to move or adjust it. Best one I’ve ever used! Worth it just for the strap alone.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

Thanks. Yeah, the strap is fantastic!

@Sven-R 3 месяца назад

I bought the 7L bag with 2 outside pockets. Bought it from the European distributor vintage217, was delivered very quickly. The attachable pockets are nice for taking a point and shoot camera, as they come with straps as well.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. So many people seem to like these bags.

@T29BSB 2 месяца назад

Hi Sven, did you get any additional charges? I’m looking at getting one from Vintage217 as I believe that’s the best place to order it for me as I’m based in the UK, but I hate not knowing what kind of charges the import hits you with 😂

@JuanManuelTastzian Месяц назад

I live in NL so shipping should be quick and not that much (€7.95). Thanks for this info, Sven.

This looks like an interesting bag, maybe the one i have been looking for. I want something smallish, not too bulky and kind of waterproofed as my EDC to carry an slr with maybe an extra lens (not big one) or two slrs (mirrorless and analog) for street photography, depending on situation. I've been trying to find one with the tablet slip inside so it's protected (I don't carry a tablet, but i carry drawing sketchbook pens etc, maybe a book to read). I like the flap as it protects better from both elements and thieves.

Great review Matti! I just purchased a messenger style camera bag last year, about the 7L size and trying to justify another purchase! 😂

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

Thanks. The 7L is not too big even if you only have one camera with you but I do like that 3.5L too.

@JuanManuelTastzian Месяц назад

Great review, Matti! I'm looking for a bag for street for my Olympus E-M5 III or PEN-F, so I don't need anything huge. I'm thinking of the 3.5L or even the 2L. Too bad there's no store here with these bags in stock to try them out (I almost bought the Peak Design slide after all the raving reviews, but trying it showed me I didn't like it). I am looking for something inconspicuous but functional. The 3.5 or 2L will be just fine for a camera with a small lens like Panasonic 20mm f1.7 or Olympus 17mm f1.8. I might even go by with just an add on of this brand? That would be nice to know! Either way, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

@mattisulanto Месяц назад

Thanks. The 3.5L version easily takes the E-M5III or the Pen-F and a couple of small lenses. Not sure about the 2L because I have not used that.

@AdamHouston 3 месяца назад

I have the 10L in black. I fill it to capacity during transport, but at my destination I’ll only carry what I think I’ll need for the day, that means it often has spare space in it, but everything stays where it should and it’s comfortable. I don’t use the large divider to form an iPad slot, so that also helps the bag to sit nicely against me. Now I’m just trying to rationalise my ‘need’ for the 3.5L bag.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

The 3.5L is a really nice day bag for shorter outings.

@AdamHouston 3 дня назад

I failed. I have the 3.5L now too for when I want stay super light.

@ImageMaven 3 месяца назад

Both bags look very useful for me too. But I prefer the brown tone of the 7l. I’ve had issues with some bags damaging the fabric of thinner trousers as they rub on your hip. What are your thoughts on that aspect?

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

I haven't had that kind of problems before and I don't have enough first hand experience to evaluate these bags regarding that issue. My shirts and trousers/shorts are still in good shape after three months.

@cameraprepper7938 3 месяца назад

The Wotancraft bags looks nice, but I prefer bags without outside pockets like those on Wotancraft. I would like to see more camera bag manufacturers make bags where the lid opens away from the boy, that lid almost always get in the way, also I would like to see that the lid when it opens away from the body, that it makes a secure shelf to place gear, fx when you shift Lens, battery or memory card, I have only seen one brand that did that, but I do not remember the brand name, anyone remember that ? Now I use an older Crumpler, when it was new I did not like, it slipped easy off my shoulder and the velcro was noisy, but not I wear it across my body with the strap at my opposite side of the bag and I like the velcro now when walking in streets with all kind of people, nobody can sneak into the bag without I can hear the noisy velcro, so I have recycled my own Camera Bag. 😊

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

Thanks! I have not found the lid a problem but I can see your point😀

@Hotkeys_PiliPili Месяц назад

I put pieces of tissue on the Velcro and use the clips if I want to close it. No noise, especially if you need to be silent and you still can secure your treasure.

@mattobrien8329 3 месяца назад

I am interested in the Wotancraft range, but will not purchase until I can purchase via an official EU outlet. I have no intention to get embroiled in trying to recover the item from customs and then handle vat and excise charges.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

I'm sorry to hear in your country the customs declaration process is a pain. In my home country I can declare the shipment online and then it'll be delivered to my door. I can see your point though and it's always nicer to buy from a local store.

@worms85 3 месяца назад

hi, what was the strap you used in the video for the wotancraft add-on pouch? thank you

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

The strap comes with the pouch. Please, check out their home page for more info.

@user-oz9hl1bf7q Месяц назад

Hey I am thinking of buying one of these camera bags for my Hasselblad setup. I much prefer a small setup and would prefer the 3L,. How do you think the 3l would handle a Hasselblad?

@mattisulanto Месяц назад

You don't mention which Hasselblad you have but I think the 3L version might take a mirrorless Hasselblad and 1-2 lenses. However, because I don't own any Hasselblad cameras that is only an estimate.

@jamy3172 Месяц назад

Hi, just a question does it comes with tripod straps default or add on?

You can strap the tripod on the bottom the the bag.

Some videos have the khaki brown looking yellow and other videos it looks brown. How would you describe it in person?

It depends on the light. Light brown with a hint of yellow or green sometimes.

I have the 7L bag for long distance trips, the 3L bag for weekend trips and the 2L bag for walk abouts so I can store extra batteries, another lens and keep my Z50 when I want to protect it. I have had no problems with heavy rains or snow with these bags. I added their round 'coin pouch' as my Freewell M2 magnetic filter fits in perfectly and are easy to access and the small square coin pouch holds four batteries and both clip onto the outside loops perfectly. for ME these are the best bags I've used in my 50 years of camera bags. I have not found the fact the bag doesn't away from me to be a problem I have also used the loops to hang my small light weight LeoFoto tripod from the bottom of the bag, making it a nice package deal. I found the magnectic clip to be a llife savior and easily got the hang of it. I too chose the kaki brown color as it doesn't scream camera bag so loudly. so here's a thumbs up for your video and for the camera bags.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. You seem to be a real fan with three bags.

@daviddyephotography 3 месяца назад

@formermpc10 3 месяца назад

Wow, what is the coincidence they sent you bags and you did a video? C'mom Matti, I thought you were different. I do not recommend shoulder/messenger bags due to the risk of neck injury. Yea, my friends losing movement in their arms didn't think so, either.

@mattisulanto 3 месяца назад

The disclaimer is there because I have to include it and I want to be straight with my audience. Why should I not make a video if I like the product? I decline most of the products that are being offered to me as "free" (and there are a lot of them) but if I receive an excellent product, I like to share that on my channel. Is there some scientific proof of the neck injury risk? I mean research, study, peer review or something. To be honest I find it hard to believe that a shoulder bag alone would be a high risk. After all millions of people are carrying a shoulder bag every day without problems. However, if a person has other health related issues I suppose a shoulder bag, or any bag, could contribute to that. I'm talking about shoulder bag users in general, not about your friend specifically.
