Hey Booray I'm a tall person and I think this bag will fit my needs. It looks very modern, and the Magnet is a good idea. It really fits a lot of things inside. Another great video. ''Tanks'' a lot.
I just purchased my 30i for $39.75 at B&H. It was their "Today's Deas" email. I couldn't resist (I also have a number of bags). BTW, I like the idea of using the Peak Design camera strap as the should strap for the camera bag.
The email I receive is from B&H Deal Zone. The subject is Today's Deals:. Usually there's about a half dozen items but I think it is only good for that day so you got to jump on them when you get the opportunity. Maybe you can give them a call and mention that you missed the email. Good luck.@@BoorayPerry
I've had my 30i for more than 4 years. You're right - the way it opens is genius. Almost any camera bag will work okay when you're loading it up, but become awkward as all get-out when you're out shooting and need to get into it. I own a couple of other Think Tank bags. The very small Mirrorless Mover 5 which holds my Sony RX1R II snugly, and the carry-on suitcase sized Airport Advantage Roller. I bought the roller for a trip by air, which was cancelled, but kept the bag. It's my "load up all the gear when I'm not sure which lenses/bodies I'll need" bag - when I'm traveling in the car near or far - and does the job well.
Terrific review, Booray. I just pulled the trigger on the canon RP for vacations and I was looking for a smaller bag for walking around. This may be my next bag. I love your strap hack. Genius!!
Reading the reviews on Amazon, a number of buyers commented that the rain cover, when fitted, obscures the straps. So you can not carry it by the straps once the raincover is fitted, but have to resort to carrying it like a package under the arm. Depending on the climate where you are having your holiday, this may or may not be an issue worth considering.
Think Tank has some great, well thought out products! That is a nice bag. You are spot on about how it opens and is one reason why I love the Moment 6l sling I bought last year. it's my current goto bag when I carry two cameras. Your Peak Design mod is excellent, I've seen you mention that before. I think I've seen this entire video before now that I think about it ;-)
i'm late to this but agree on the 30i. I have bags, many bags, but this is my favorite bag. I will keep it until it is shredded and then buy another. I like your two hacks and will incorporate the luggage bungee thing to my bag. I got a Tom Binh Absolute shoulder strap for this bag and it is by far too wonderful to even describe. One downside: the raincover is an awkward fit although made much better with the Tom Binh strap than the original strap.
I wished you release this video 3 days ago.... Just ordered the Think Tank Speedtop 15. The one with the magnets... I was between these two and finally I have chosen the Speedtop (don't know if you have looked at it also and what is your opinion). Generally I believe Think Tank makes bags designed for photographers without the bells and whistles of other companies.
I looked at this line, it seems only the largest "30" has that forward open feature. You make a good case for it if you need to be in and out of the bag a lot and in a hurry. My one issue with that is that it sorta leaves all your gear out for the world to see, which is fine usually, but sometimes, not what I'd like to flash. I like the tenba DNAs with their waterproofness and zipper top, that keeps your stuff discrete, also has a silent opening as sometimes the noise of the zipper is the thing you're trying to silence. Wotancraft pilots are nice and simple in use, also a soft bag which rests against the body nicer. Of course the Billinghams are another soft option, but I like all three of these cause they can be easiliy converted to non camera use. And in the sizes to fit a 13" laptop, they all have luggage straps to sit atop rolling luggage.
Hi Booray. My favourite bags are the Domke bags, Wotancraft & Billingham. I have several different styles of each of these brands. To be honest, I definitely have more than I need. I am SORRY, as I cannot help myself! 😂 😅😅
i used to have a lowepro street and field reporter 200aw which had a flap that could zip open in the middle so i didn't even have to lift the flap. that was the best bag i ever had. Unfortunately i had to retire that because it got ripped but i've not been able to find anything else like it anymore. I wish every bag has that.
Maybe you can help me, I can't find a travel camera bag that offers hardcase protection on the inside but the ability to be opened from the top. I travel on a motorbike/bike to remote locations for photography, and have had crashes; I want a bag that can survive a mild spill on a bike but still allow me to access the camera from the top as a normal carry around bag. The hardcases on the market are really on designed for airplane checked baggage, which isn't useful for me. If you know of a bag please suggest one! thanks!
I think it would depend on the lens. I suspect that if you are using a big battery grip then you are also using different lenses and would benefit from a bigger bag. 🙂📷
The ONLY recommendations I accept from UA-cam presenters about photo equipment are the recommendations made without reference to any merchants. Otherwise ... then the recommendation is seriously nothing but a goddamn paid commercial. Are people actually so gullible? Hell yes - they surely are! It's an extremely rare video which does NOT come packaged as a commercial, but at least a few of them exist.

I was looking at this bag, but ended up getting a Wotancraft 7L Pilot and just love it...

Have this same exact bag for about 4 years, great size for a smaller camera and lens. It is a perfect bag.
I had to go into my B&H purchase history to see when I purchased mine... Wow! June 2016. Like you I still love this bag.
I'm about to buy my second one. :)
I just purchased my 30i for $39.75 at B&H. It was their "Today's Deas" email. I couldn't resist (I also have a number of bags). BTW, I like the idea of using the Peak Design camera strap as the should strap for the camera bag.
I gotta see if that deal is still on. My bag is pretty beat up. :)

I have both the 10 and 25i
they are fantastic bags and like you have been trying to replace them butbi keep coming back to these bags

My main bag is also Think Tank but I have the one with 4 spinner wheels. It's so easy.
You have great taste in gear.
Thanks! 😁📷
I'm a bag guy too. Even way before photography. My newest pickups are Hex Ranger and Ranger Mini. Also have the Ulanzi shoulder sling bag too.
Terrific review, Booray. I just pulled the trigger on the canon RP for vacations and I was looking for a smaller bag for walking around. This may be my next bag. I love your strap hack. Genius!!
Thanks!
I have the Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20, it's a really good small bag to carry a Fuji X-E3 with an extra lens.
Nice video... The loops behind the bag are for tou to use Think tank belt. So you can wear the bag around your waist..

You are going to lose your mind when you see the Think Tank SpeedTop Crossbody 15. It's amazing.
That bag looks great but just a little too big for my needs. 🙂📷
@@BoorayPerry There is a smaller version 10 as well.

Mine is looking pretty worn. I'm gonna check out that strap
I absolutely love my Retrospective 5 & 6. They don’t open like the Mirrorless Movers but are great bags.
Nice! I think along the same minimalist oriented.lines. I use the smaller 2 sizes of the Peak Design bags..... as well as their nifty strap system.

I bought one. Great bag!
The back tripod holder is really a big old belt loop to secure the bag to your body. Great review!
Oh man, Booray! I want one now. LOL! Looks like a great bag, and it must be since they still sell it.
Okay, I get that you love the bag, but what I really want is the link to your 16 pocket travel vest!
Lol... I love that thing.
Well….post a link so I can love it too!

I love seashell and seahorses 😂
The strap you put the bunjy chord through is used to attach the bag to think tanks speed belt system!

I have a larger peak design bag that has that feature it's nice. 🙂📷
@@BoorayPerry what model is that?
@@wretchedworm The Everyday Messenger
The 10i is what my x100v sits in, with a few accessories. A little small, but powerful.
Wait till you see the new Mover 30
Is it out yet? I'm going to go look 😄
@@BoorayPerry One on order will have it in a few days. Is nicer inside, but lacks the tablet pocket.
A man with a bag......who knew......
What do you think of the mirrorless mover 5 for the x100v?
The 10 mine barely fits in.
I guess bags are “your bag” baby! 😂
None of the other thinktanks open that way. So the only "non" deal breaker is the 30i...?
Really? None of them?

That's a good one. I don't think I've ever seen a hard bag that you could sling.
Booray, you mentioned it holding an X-T4. Is that with or without the battery grip? Thanks!
I think it would depend on the lens. I suspect that if you are using a big battery grip then you are also using different lenses and would benefit from a bigger bag. 🙂📷
@@BoorayPerry thank you very much!
This guy sounds EXACTLY like Howard Stern.
How much does the bag weigh when loaded (including the full water bottle)?
