    UPDATE! I need to amend the personal item for flying statement. I said it didn’t fit under the seats because I was flying Spirit a bunch to cheaply get around for trips at the time of the video and forgot that your “standard” airlines like Delta, UA, etc., have slightly larger underseat storage (and I was sitting in the aisle seat a ton which often has a smaller under seat storage). You CAN fit this as a personal item, just not in ALL scenarios. Hope that helps!

    Still rocking the Brevite camera bag. It's become a must have for shooting festivals and concerts.

    I wanted to love this bag, but the lack of an external quick access pocket (at least one!) was disappointing. Also, the side pocket magnets were very weak and if the item/bottle wasn’t big enough it would flop around all loosey goosey. And the fact that they don’t include some accessory straps at this price is just egregious.

      Hadn’t thought about the lack of an external pocket, but definitely valid negatives!

    Planes might differ, perhaps I don't know. But I have flown with it many times and was able to stow it under the seat 😉🤘

    Hey I love your video. What airplane did you refer to where the backpack did not fit underneath the seat? I have the same backpack. I did not have that issue. It fit just fine underneath the seat.

    It's fit under the airline seats in every plane I've flown in so far (not many but still a win!) Hope it can still fit under many for you too! :)

    Have you checked out the Shimoda Urban Explore 25L that’s on sale 1 March 2024? Just curious since I think it’s similar to this Nomatic 25L and I’ve seen several reviews on it already.

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  8 місяців тому

      I haven’t yet! It looks really ergonomic from what I’ve seen but I don’t necessarily love the layout of the interior (and I’m not a huge fan of foam dividers)

    Damn. I wanted to take it Seattle as my personal item. I bought the nomadic travel backpack and was wanting to return it and get this to travel with. I have the Peter McKinnon sling for my camera it just takes up a lot of room inside there. You don’t recommend for personal item on flight? Any other ways to pack camera as this is my first trip to go shoot.

    The nickel-and-diming to make it a functional camera backpack is what gets me. If you are marketing this as a camera backpack, why must I buy the dividers or cubes to make this functional, and then add the camera straps so my tripod will stay put? With that said, I went with the Wandrd Prvke where I had to buy a camera cube to make it functional 🤨but it did come in at $100 cheaper.

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  Рік тому

      I agree-I’m not a fan of nickel and diming the things that make it a camera bag-as a camera bag it’s solid, but the price is on the higher end. It’s like you’re also paying designer prices 😅

    I cannot possibly see how this will allow my Sony A7RV with a 70-200mm lens will fit, NOT TO MENTION, if I also had a Sony 1.4X telecoverter. This back may seem to carry a lot, but more for medium to small cameras (or your beer and chips, as you say). Sorry, will not work for a telephoto user.
