I'm going to echo what other's have said. This review by far is the best one I've seen. you did an excellent job of pointing out all the pro's and cons and your examples of how to use this bag are excellent. Much appreciated, I wish all reviews were like yours. Kudos amigo. Please keep doing what you're doing. Wotancraft should hire you as a consultant.
I love my Wotancraft 7l! The best camera bag I’ve ever owned. It’s so comfortable to carry! I love the pockets on each end, which are perfect for sunglasses and a water bottle when I need to carry one. I have no problem with strap adjustment - I find it way easier than the Peak Design bag. My only complaint was that clips the tripod strap on the bottom of the bag often caught on my pants pockets. I never use those straps anyway, so I just removed them and problem solved.
Nice review Roma. I have several of the Wotancraft camera bags. I believe that they are reasonably priced for the quality that they offer. My favourite is the Wotancraft Ryker (all leather materials). This bag is no longer being manufactured, but it is of excellent quality. Billingham also produces excellent camera bags as well as a few other manufacturers. It is good to have many possible choices for photographers.
Same complain about front zipper. I think my bag has faulty zipper but now I know it happens on all 7L. Luckily I dont have problem with rear zipper. Nice tips about tripod placement.
Excellent review. I'm looking into this or other sling bags as a diaper/dad bag and have a couple of related questions: 1) How stable is this bag or how tight can you wear it? I am looking for a bag that won't swing forward if I need to bend over to pick up my child or if I'm making quick maneuvers to chase them. Can a stabilizer strap be added? 2) I like that this has external water bottle pockets. I'd like to carry both my child's bottle as well as my own 700ml bottle. I'm curious if my bottle could fit securely in the sleeve area without falling out - I'm thinking it may be too tall for the side pockets. Thanks again for your review!
I have been using either my 3.5L & 7L Pilot bags daily for about a year now and just love them... I was not a fan of the stock dividers and replaced them.
Nice video! IMO, the opening mechanism is a double-edged sword; if it’s easy for the owner to open it, it’s also easy for others (i.e. thieves) to open it too, if they know how it works. And with the increasing popularity of this brand, more people will find out about this convenient opening mechanism, even the ones with bad intentions…Sometimes the old way is the safest way.
Very good looking bag. I appreciate the review. If I buy one I will definitely go use your link, just need to decided if I wanted to get the Khaki Tan or the Black :)
I appreciate the kind words, but the links are not affiliated. I’m not getting any commissions if you buy through them. As for the color, I love the black, it’s very stealthy, but it looks “dirty” in certain lighting conditions..
@@Romafedorov Thank you, I heard recently from Wotancraft that they changed from a charcoal black like yours to a pure black since the feedback was some people were finding it looking dirty.
Out of all the reviews of this bag, I find yours is the best. Thank you for such a detailed review with great lighting and color.
Glad it was helpful!

This is how a video should be! Great video! Passport, gold, diamonds 😀 Hopefully it will fit a Nikon Z8 and 24-120!
Cheers. I'm sure it'll fit your camera and lens. it's very spacious.

What dividers did you replace them with?
@@darrenhaken Some thicker padded one's from an insert I purchased a while ago...
@@mwales2112 ah shame. I thought I might be able to buy them
@@darrenhaken I looked through my ebay purchases, but didn't see it. sorry..
Solid review 👍. Mine is otw. Be careful.. your laptop in the background is going to overheat, lol.. Nice touch. 👌
Hahaha cheers!

Yeah, I totally see your point..
Do you think you could get an r6 with battery grip in that 7l with lens attached? Or is it too narrow, thanks for posting up the video
It might fit if you remove the iPad divider, but I'm not sure. The bag is pretty stretchy though..

@@Tony16610 That's a great decision, but it doesn't bother me too much..
This is an excellent video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
If it is that easy to open the top flap, people can steal stuff out of it no?
It's a tradeoff
Great recommendation, would definitely look into this further once I buy another bag
It's a great bag! Thanks for watching!
Sorry. It looks amateur. Cheap thin dividers and just a magnet to hold it closed. No thanks.
