Out of all of the camera bags that I own this one is IMO in the "medium" category, its by no means small, but not at all bulky, Id have no issues taking it on a bus or train. I have taken it on flights, trains, light rails and so on and to me it was just fine. Anything smaller than this I don't thing would hold enough gear for me. Hope that helps.
@@FifthNorth Massive help thank you. I am looking to use this for travel filmmaking/photography and therefore need it to be fairly compact. I assume that a gimbal can fit should it need too? Certainly looks to be a great bag.
Great review man! I’ve been looking at this bag and could not find any reviews. Sadly, I already have an everyday bag, if I didn’t then this one would’ve probably been my choice.
Fantastic review and perhaps the only question I had left to ask before pulling the trigger on this bag is whether or not it’s big enough to hold a 2023 16” MacBook Pro.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. Check out my link here adorama.rfvk.net/XY1Mbo (my affiliate link, thanks for the support), in the link Adorama has the specs of the laptop compartment listed, when I compared them to the specs listed on apples website for a 16" it looks like it will fit. Thanks for watching, hope that helps.
Kind of, you can definitely modify it but I wouldn't say it's 50/50, more like 60/40 maybe 55/45. But there is definitely two different settings, one that makes the camera bag part the entire bag, one that makes it most of the bag (id say about 75%) and then one setting that makes it the 60/40ish version. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.
@@FifthNorth I do weddings. So the idea was I could pack some clothes for overnights for weddings far from home. Plus my r5 and r6, 7 lenses and my flashes. No bueno.
Yeah I realized I made a mistake in the video and kept saying 19L but the graphic said 15L. According to Manfrotto’s website the “S” is 19L, and the “M” is 22.5L, which is confusing because according to B&H Photo the “S” is 15L and the “M” is 19L. So im not 100% sure which is accurate.
@@benheo Well that's the tricky part, according to BH Photo video its 15L (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1657636-REG/manfrotto_mb_pl2_bp_bl_s_pro_light_backloader_camera.html) but according to Manfrotto, its 19L (www.manfrotto.com/us-en/pro-light-backloader-backpack-s-mb-pl2-bp-bl-s/) On Manfrotto's page on the right side in about the middle of the page there is a section called Specifications, it shows weight, minimum weight, internal dimensions and then there is a part that says technical specifications under it it says Full List, Full list is a clickable link and there it says that it is 19L. It is confusing how two different sources have two different sizes especially so far apart at 15L and 19L. I hope that helps, thanks for watching.
What's your go to backpack for everyday use?
How do you find it size wise? Dimensions look to be on the bigger side for say trains, planes etc..

I have found you can never have too many camera bags. Not intentionally, but it seems to work out that way...
Its a problem…i have collected many more since this video 😂
Thanks and you really helped me to finalize my selection. One question, can you remove the personal space and use that as for gears?
No problem, thanks for watching, yes you can, you can make the entire bag all one big compartment and all gear.
@@FifthNorth Do you think this bag can carry Nikon Z 7ii and 6 ii two bodies and 70-200 lens and 24-120, 14-30 and some filters and batteries?
@@reubencana might be a tight fit, but its possible, sorry I dont know Nikon gear that well. Maybe look at the “M” version its a bit bigger.
Thanks
Your video helped me making my decision, Thanks mate.
Got a new sub!
Thank you for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Im stoked that the video was able to help!
Do you think two Canon R5 bodies with lenses attached would fit in this backpack going side to side?
They could, just depends on how big the lenses are.
Fantastic review, thank you. Was curious about this bag and I think I'm sold now. Cheers!
Awesome glad the video helped you! Thank you for the feedback as well much appreciated!

Thank you for watching and the feedback! Yeah I love it, its a great bag! Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thank you for helping me through the mine field of back packs just what I needed😊

This is a very useful review. Thanks ✌️
No problem! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Is it suitable for use while riding a motorcycle? I want to ride with my camera.
Honestly I have never tried as I have a moto specific backpack. Ill give it a try this upcoming week and can let you know.
Can you make the layout 50-50?

Sent the PM 35l back cause I found it too small lol.
Wow, you must have a ton of gear!

@@Soul_Visuals_Photography oh yeah that is alot of gear!
If this is 15L, what does the medium version check in at?
