Hi! I’m Lil Packrat and I love camera gear! Because I’m small, I am constantly trying to find the most compact but effective gear and camera bags. My IG is lil.packrat.

Brevite Jumper Camera Backpack Review // THE PERFECT EVERYDAY CAMERA BACKPACK

This is a review of the Brevite Jumper camera backpack. Mine is in the "moonlit blue" color. Not sponsored :p See my IG (@lil.packrat) for photos of me wearing the backpack: pB-TRLb0B4O4/?igshid=t5u9uhp1jffm Link to backpack: www.shopmoment.com/shop/brevite-jumper-backpack/moonlit-blue Filmed on: Canon EOS R Canon RF 15-35
what is the brand name of the cold shoe mount you're using to attach your monitor onto the Overhead mount OH100? let me know
Just bought this tripod and your video is exactly the use case instructions I was looking for! Thank you!
Hi, nice review, do you still use this bag? Does this bag still holds value? (Think Tank can be expensive) Or are there any better alternatives nowadays? Thank you.
Ok, nice backpack but how do I get the lens caps??
Very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make this. I actually do own the Peakdesign Everyday backpack v2 right now in 30L, but I was looking for something smaller and more classy looking.
Very nice review, thank you
Do you know if the 16" 2021 MacBook Pro would fit in the Brevite Runner? The M1 Apple Silicon powered laptop measures 14" x 9.75"
My work laptop is a 16” MBP and it fits :)
Yh those top thing on the runner looks like shit
Is this the Large Jumper or the original one you are comparing it to?
Ah sorry this reply is probably too late to help. It’s the original. They both are.
No worries. I wound up buying the larger Jumper and it is great.@@LilPackrat
This was so helpful! Thank you! For whatever it’s worth your authenticity in your style of reviewing is a very refreshing change from what is out there in UA-cam land and I watch a TON of content.
Thank you so much! :D I know I’m 3 weeks late in replying but seeing this was a great way to start my morning!
@@LilPackrat glad to hear that
Thank you. This was very helpful!
What color is the Runner backpack?
What’s on the shoulder strap?
Sorry for the slow reply! I have Peak Design Capture Clips attached to the shoulder straps :) they’re great for easy access to your camera!
Thanks for the great video, and perspective for shorter people. You should check out the Langly Alpha Compact camera backpack. It has a similar esthetic and size. It would make a great comparison to this ThinkTank bag.
Really cool suggestion - thank you! I’m glad this was helpful :D
Will this likely fit under a commercial airline seat?
Great review, thank-you. You have a knack for UA-cam, keep it up!
Thanks for the review especially the size comparison, is it possible to bring a PD tripod using this bag?
Sorry for the late reply - hoping I can still be helpful. I tried this out and the PD tripod absolutely does not fit inside vertically or horizontally. Also the outer pockets are far too tight for a tripod. Won’t work!
@@LilPackrat Ah I see, appreciate the insights!
I love the Video. Keep going with the content
Too kind!
I miss the chest strap on this backpack. Did anyone used in long walks with no problem? Tks
Sony a7s iii is the best
Thanks for sharing how you use your tripod. I'm gonna try the monopod and run and gun stabilizer tips
Great video. I also just watched your video on the Tenba DNA 15 backpack. Which one do you like better? Which one are you still using? Thanks!
Thanks! They’re really different since the “retrospective” focuses on carrying gear and the “DNA” focuses on carrying other stuff with one area for your camera. I tend to use the DNA - there’s a V2 by the way!
@@LilPackrat Thanks for your reply. I was trying on the DNA just yesterday at a big cameras store. I always need to carry extra layers, etc, since my gigs are usually outside. Your feedback is helpful. Good job on your videos. :)
Sub'd. Great presentation!
Hi Lil! Is this backpack its regular version or its L size? 🤔 Awesome review btw 😉
Great question! I got this before they came out with the L version so it’s the regular :)
This is a fantastic video. Thankyou! Do you know if the new capture clips from peak design will work like how you have set up?
The new ones unfortunately don’t have the tripod mounting hole in the back!
@@LilPackrat Thank you for replying! I have a new one from peak designs, i have not tried yet but I imagine you could just get it to grip I think? Have not had chance to give it a go yet. Going to work on a little project tomorrow.
Also bought this based off your review. Thank you!
Great Video-
Great, concise review. It’s gorgeous, but at this pricepoint, it shouldn’t have any quirks…
Are you still making content? How can we contact you?
That's a heavy load
fantastic review.
ONA bags look great and don't scream "photographer" in their style. I just can't get past the price when they have dumb issues like pockets that can't hold bottles or a good laptop pouch. Why would I spend 400 on this when I could just buy a Billingham that doesn't have those issues?
Fair enough! I do love my Ona Bowery so some bags are user friendly :) also really love Billingham and have 4 different sizes!
You should start an Etsy and sell your service for people like me who are to lazy to do it themselves but would pay top dollar for something like this
You said that Runner fits for MacBook Pro 16". But on their web site just mention 14". Could you please confirm it fits your MacBook 16". I am going to buy it. Thanks a lot
I can confirm that both the Runner and Jumper fit the 16” MacBook Pro. Note that with the Runner it is a tight fit zipping around the corner of the laptop. In comparison, it is a nicer fit in the Jumper which zips up without having to be careful at the corners of the laptop. Hope that helps!
Thanks for your review. I'm trying to decide between the Brevite and the Tenba DNA bag. Which do you prefer for carrying both laptop and camera gear and taking your bag for overseas travel to places like Central America, South America, Asia?
great question! I’ll answer as well as I can given limited knowledge of what your travel activities are, and your gear load! Anytime I don’t need to pack more than the Jumper can easily carry, I pick the jumper. If you are taking your laptop out often then definitely go with the jumper :) but if you’re carrying a water bottle and a tripod then you may want to go with the tenba. FYI there’s a new version of the tenba that no longer uses velcro - yay! brevite jumper has a really nice slim profile which you’ll appreciate if you’re in tighter spaces like city streets, public transit
@@LilPackrat Thanks for your reply! I think I'm going with the Brevite Jumper bag. The Tenba DNA 16 (they don't make a 15 anymore) is a bit too big and heavy.
Hello! Awesome review! Btw is the runner easier to open, or the jumper?
thanks! I find the Jumper easier to open and close :)
awesome def getting the runner
Love it thank you
I had not heard about this camera before. Looks very interesting.
I'm so glad you are back! I think you are a natural at this, and I think you will do well on UA-cam! Also I'm totally gonna look into that camera. Very cool!
Such a nice comment! Thank you :)
A year later this video is still amazing!
What a helpful video! Thank you!
The one thing is holding me back is that it’s 17l I need a backpack for school and phot. I hope they make a 25l orb soon
Thanks for the review!
Great video! Does the canvas add a lot of weight vs. the Peak Design? I'm 5' 7" so this would work for me!
Where do you get the Pokemon lens covers???
I make them :) I also made a video on how I make them because I get that question a lot! ua-cam.com/video/VBtsWlZUGpc/v-deo.html
how much $?
wow ! most useful video in this great channel dear sister 👍️💖💖💖🙏watching form Qatar 😎fully support
Great video. Cool lens caps!
Super helpful video, thank you!
Why did you stop making videos? I'm hoping everything is ok with you.
Thank you for checking in! Bit of a rut I suppose, but hoping to put together a video soon :)
