      You can't have lived long in Wales. Pro-tip, when strolling through a gentle Welsh wall of water, clip your backpack to the underside of the nearest friendly ewe. This thickly woollen cover will give it the extra protection needed in the local clement conditions. No abusing these friendly natives though.

    First off, I truly appreciate how much time you guys put into this video and braving the heat for us. I was torn between the Atlas, Peak Designs, and Shimoda. Ultimately went for the Atlas Athlete because of the waterproof rain cover, 50/50 split, origami box, removable belt and sealed hydration pouch. I also like how their is a very safe and protected laptop pouch.

      @swaroopsankarsivadasan 4 роки тому

      I too kind of think in that way as I use Lowepro Whistler 450AWII to carry my birding and wildlife setup. Initially I thought the bag itself is little heavy, but once I started using it for my hikes I really appreciated how evenly it distributes the weight. Also it’s really waterproof and no complaints in that front as well. The rubber base gives me so much confidence to put my bag in any surface. Also if things really get messy you have a cover as well. The only minor gripe was that the waist belt is now fixed on the flaps not in the frame, (The 450 AW model came with the other way) which will affect turning the bag around your waist but as it hugs the waist so evenly, I can overlook that minor thing. I definitely think this bag should have been in the video.

    Aluminum frame and waist belt are a must for multi-day hiking trips. I’ve done a lot of hiking in sand and dunes which makes weight even harder to carry. Once I finally upgraded to a proper hiking bag it made such a difference. I went with the F-stop Tilopa, but the shimodas seem awesome too!

    The Atlas Athlete is an excellent bag. It's more my long-range one. 15+ miles. I can put my tripod inside of it too. No snagging on trees etc... Another is the Shimoda X30. It's my mid-range 10-mile pack or shorter depending on what's needed. My short-range or crawling through tight spaces pack is the Mindshift Backlight 18L. All 3 of these packs are comfortable and hold my gear perfectly. I had been using an F-Stop Tilopa for 8 years until it finally started falling apart. It went through a lot. I loved that pack's design but it never really fit me very well.

    Some nice packs there but one problem I find with these packs is they dont have enough padding at the bottom. Often after a full day and you get tired it is easy to put the pack down a bit hard and damage gear as it hits the ground. I like to put some closed cell foam across the bottom under the insert, as much as I can.

    So I am curious why you reviewed the Shiimoda Explorer 40 (still a great bag) instead of the 30L or 50L from the new Action X series that features the Expandable Roll-Top and removable belt and other enhancements. The Action X 30L with rolltop hold as much a the Explorer 40. Thanks for the reviews though.

      Yeah. Having tried the and returned the peak design bag (camera cubes only take up more space and add weight), the moment I got the McKinnon bag, quality was already the best bag I’d ever seen, and in use, I’m discovering I like it the most of any bag I’ve ever used. I wish the inside color was different, and the flip flop between the front and back of the bag can be slightly annoying sometimes, but none of these bags even come close.

    Now, I always had an issue with finding a good backpack, because most of them did not fit the mirrorless small camera Systems such as Leica M, m4/3 or Fuji because they HD DSLR sizes in mind and had not really the capacity to carry food, clothing, drinking, hygiene etc for trip of 2-4 days or a longer outdoor sessions.
    Long story short, the best backpack for the small camera user that does travel and hike after a long search for me is Wandrd. The PRVKE is the perfect compromise between city and hike and fits a lot of gear. I have a Leica M plus 35mm Cron, 50 Lux, Olympus EM1MKIII with 12-100, 7-14 and 300mm, EC14, Rode Mike, GoPro 8, Peak Design Travel Tripod with space for stuff for a 3-4 day hike.
    Their new Fernweh improves so much on the PRVKE for Hiking... once they have another color for that one (like the green or blue for PRVKE) I‘ll be first in line.

    Yet another entertaining *and* informative clip. Some other "reviewers" in this field fail miserably when they attempt either, let alone both. Just one thought: Australia moved to the metric system many years ago, and though I grew up using archaic measurements, it takes me a bit to convert back and forth: maybe you could put a conversion overlay on the clip for when you mention one metrological system in lieu of another? I have a much-loved friend in America and if I tell her it's 33 degrees outside she gets thoroughly lost, so a conversion might benefit a lot of people. One other thing: I have an inherent distrust of airline baggage handlers and insist on carrying my camera and laptop ontp the plane myself - maybe a review of bags that are a size suitable for carry-on luggage would not go astray? Please though, keep up your excellent work - I look forward to every clip.

    I have a terrible $250 manfrotto pro backpack it’s horrible, the configurations don’t make any sense. If you set it up like the pictures you can’t get your gear out from the quick pockets on the side so what was the point? I can get lack of access with a cheap backpack. I got discouraged and got an AmazonBasics camera and laptop bag. I have my GH5 + 2 lenses, my RX100, shotgun mic, wireless mic, memory card pack, chargers, gorilla pod, pixie tripod, laptop, backup hard drive, lens filters and it was $46

    I have the Atlas Athlete and love it. It is very comfortable and well padded and can carry a pro DSLR and lenses, but not attached. The camera needs to lay down. For me one of the best aspects is how condensed it becomes if not packed out. It can be very low profile.

    Nice review! 👍
    But no words about the question: is attachment of tripod on the side of backpak so convenient? As for me - it is uncomfortable for rather long walking (if at all). In this case weight is not evenly distributed and my back back gets tired quickly. It's much more reasonable to attach tripod along the spine as in some old backpacks like Lowepro Flipside 300 (1st version) etc. After all, nobody takes an unequal weight on shoulders when doing sit-ups in gym if doesnt't want to have backache. Here is the same principle. The Manfrotto backpack has a better design from this point of view.

I liked the Shimoda but too heavy without ever putting anything into it. Oddly, I settled on the Tenba Fulton 16L. Much smaller but I'm going lighter and lighter each trip. It fits my Nikon Z7ii, 24-120 and 100-400 zoom which is large and enough room for filters, etc. If you have questions on others, I think i've tried them all. Not easy.

      @@gerryphilpott9766 thanks! I ask because I got the 21L last week, and it's actually very uncomfortable on my body after 15 minutes or so. It somehow makes my little Canon M6 with lenses feel like a brick, let alone putting my Canon R in it. I took the cube out and tried using it as an everyday backpack too but that's still not great and my shoulders have a dull ache today.
      So I'm wondering why so many reviewers have called it the "most comfortable" camera backpack. I'll be returning it and I think I'll just go back to using my normal backpack and use one of Tenba's "BYOB" cubes instead. You're right, it's definitely not easy, I've watched too many reviews at this point.

    Camera Backpacks it's always wasting of money. not just OVERexpansive but also useless unless you travel in the car or bring you gear on shooting spots in the same city. no, almost no places for socks, underwear, jeans, etc, IMHO much smarter to buy a regular backpack and put insert for gear. inserts from eBay/ali very cheap, also tenba make pretty nice, though expensive. but I have lifehack: lunch bags can cost almost nothing- 99cents and up but work as inserts(not as a bag) very good. they also cooling gear

    I like the format of this review. I wish somebody did this for female bodies. Because apparently the only camera bags designed for women look like handbags, which are not very practical for hiking. But it is impossible to consider the bags shown here because they're never reviewed for women. I don't know if you know this, but our chests and hips look different. Normal hiking bag designer know that women need different bags. I don't understand why camera bag designers ignore this.

    Gotta say the older Wandrd Prvke is not so great. The dividers are too thin and don't protect your camera gear AT ALL. They have new dividers but don't sell them separately and won't replace the old ones, making any pack bought just a few years ago worthless for photography. That's terrible customer service right there.
