But can you fit hockey skates in it?
When that smaller bag opened up to a backpack my jaw dropped😂
That bag is more expensive than my camera 😭
Firdaus Jaidil same 😂
I do not know how much it costs and do not even want to know. Just by that video and all the thought process that went into designing this backpack shows that it is as expensive as a small car. Crazy.
@@Leprutz Daniel says how much it costs in the video..
@@Michal_Kedzierski Yeah... I just saw it too but I had written the comment already. lol. It is expensive but it is understandable thoug. somehow.
Same xd
I've been using a sub $50 bag from Amazon Essentials for 2 years... It holds all my camera gear, and a laptop. You can customize the layout, fit whatever you need in there, and it obviously isn't gonna have all the little details like a side panel for pulling your camera out, but it's $50!
Save money for fun gear and toys. An expensive bag does not make you better at your craft.
Looking for a bag.. mind linking the one you're using?? $50 is a great price.. plus you already tested it..
@@suncityvibes2016 Hey, this is the cheap one I've been using for a couple years. It might have been slightly updated. I had a friend sew on my own little logo over the Amazon Basics logo so now you can't tell if it's a $50 bag or a $300 bag lol
Also as a bonus, if I get it dirty or it ever gets wrecked, who cares. No big loss. Here's the link, there are a few others if you search around: amzn.to/2NBtiVH
Hope this helps! ☃️
@@TheJeffChase you are the man.. thanks for going above and beyond...for a stranger on TH-cam.. thanks brotha..
@@suncityvibes2016 I like to be helpful when I can't sleep. Hopefully it builds good karma for me or something lol
@@TheJeffChase it will!! Thanks.. literally just bought it.. arrving Wednesday!! Im exited.. been wanting to buy a camera bag for over a year.. finally got it!!
Looks good, not going to happen based on the price.
I once hiked up Mt. Fuji with most of my stuff, coz I had no place to leave it. Since then I carry only important stuff in a $20 backpack, which can fit 2 cameras, 2 tripods, lots of small stuff, 15" laptop and a skateboard, and my other luggage is in a case with wheels. Either waiting in a hotel room, or checked-in luggage, or locker. And as a bonus I always have some extra space for exotic foods and other stuff I bring from my travels.
What bag is that?
My dude Daniel always clutching the reviews.
Trust me always💯
Joseph Garcia my dude Joseph! Reply on ig 😂
Peter mckinnon: FULL OPTION bag
Chinese suppliers: Hold my beer!
do you know the chinese version of this ???? so expensive but i really like it
@@the_user0069 no sorry, but if anyone could know where to buy like this bag for a less price
😂😂
@@georgionawfal9995 Ha ha!! If it's less price, it's shit quality and will fall apart when you need it. It's top quality, pay the price and watch it last for fucking ever!!
I bought 1 Chinese bag in my life. It cost me 90$ for what seemed like the ideal bag versus 250$+ for the competition. The Chinese bag fell apart after 6 months of daily usage. So I bought a Lowepro for a tad more than twice the price and have been using it daily in a lot different terrain and travels for the past 2 and a half years and it's still holding up perfectly!
Buying cheap is often a waste of money
The negative you mentioned was super important!!! Rest was great about the bag, however the placeholder for keeping passports, wallets etc isn't good. That's the number 1 bummer. I wish they would revise that before shipping.
Was thinking the exact same, no point in having a RFID safe pocket, when they can just take the wallet / passport 🤔
can't justify the price. Would love to see a mini version for half the cost
Very true
Scott Douglas Photography EXACTLY
That's not how cost to size usually works out though
The Peak Design feels much more versatile IMO. That Cube Pack though... that I dig.
Jessie Wald Photo i own the peak as well. Which compartment do you mean? The frontal one? That one looks pretty much the same as the one on the Peak to my eyes (but the Peak expands on the bottom AND top, and even gives you the option to stow the separation panel for a full on duffel style if you need it). This bag does look cool... But as I said, it seems less versatile... The Peak compresses to a smaller 30L size (which actually works great for me for daily carry) and expands to a bigger 45L size. The stowable waist straps make them much more handy, as I feel I would end up leaving them at home if they were removable. And thr list goes on: more versatile/all-over external carry, stowable rain cover that you can deploy in a pinch... Plus the whole camera cubes modularity that makes changing travel setups a breeze. But that’s just my opinion! 🤓
Juan Manuel Gómez Ramos I have the peak travel backpack as well and I agree with you 100%. It looks very similar but the peak seems more versatile. I use it as a daily carry and feels very sturdy. One thing I think this has an edge is it has a good amount of padding and the outer shell as well as the straps look very nice. But I do understand that this is a camera backpack while the peak can transform into one with the camera packs. I am still very happy with my Peak but if I had money to burn I would have wanted to try this out.
How do you like this bag vs. Peak designs travel backpack?
I feel like when you stuffed those clothes in it and had to expand it, it no longer complied with some airlines carry on luggage size limits.
Just the bag empty looks like it would exceed carry-on weight limits on some airlines haha
Jed weight limit the moment you put batteries in it. The airline carry on limit is bullshit when you can’t put laptops batteries or cameras or lenses in your luggage. As for size, that compartment is all clothes so just squish it
Yup, it's way too big for a carry on. In that case you might as well go even bigger. A tweener I think they would label it.
NateRoscoe it’s not too big for a carry on
That’s the Potato Sack
Oh a culture man.
Potato Jet!!!
😂😂 potato jet
This bag has more space than my home
Sell your home and buy the bag
Daniel, your humility oozes through the screen. Thank you for helping me figure out whether to get it or not. I think this is a good case of you get what you pay for.
I dont know why im watching this i dont even have a camera or a laptop.
Lol same 😑
@@52blessings80 Haha same broke club.
I am here too.
Just love to see this and dream wish I had this
My Lowepro Protactic weighs about 28 pounds fully loaded. I can only imagine how heavy you can get this one fully loaded with clothes. You'll get really buff lugging this around.
This looks like an awesome bag overall. I love your down-to-earth review small. I’d love to see a “mini” version of this bag.
This bag is legit. If I hadn’t invested in a black ember system this year, I’d totally buy it.
Ramon you bought a backpack you can hardly call it an investment :)
i rather just buy another lens with that money
If you travel a lot though, this is essential
Just a big name plopped on some mediocre quality. Do yourself a solid and get a manfrotto bag for 1/2 the price
Caelin Tredoux this bag? Essential? You can get a bag that’s just as good, maybe even better, for more than half the cost. Mine only cost me $50 and it’s small enough to carry, resistant enough to the weather, and it can hold all of my gear. The price of the bag in the video is just not justifiable, unless you just happen to have wads of money to toss away to buy something with someone’s name on it
@@lukamester4953 Manfrotto backs can run £150+ and that's because you are paying for them to slap their brand name on it.
$675 is still to steep of a price.
You can get the bag for 299$
Where did you get $675 from? Its going for $299
@@Slesaint17 The number is correct, but that's the manufacturers suggested retail price - MSRP that includes all the accessories and will go on sale after the Kickstarter campaign.
The bag itself, you can get for 299$ right now on Kickstarter without any accessories
Martin Hojak aahhh gotcha! Thanks!
And it doesn't really offer anything to deserve that price.
I’ll wait for reviews from people who weren’t given the bag for free. Almost $700 for a camera bag and all these youtubers not giving any real cons is annoying and makes me not want to trust any of them regarding gear moving forward.
You should never really "trust" a youtuber who reviews something if they got it for free. Especially with someone with Peter's name on it because in the youtuber photo world he seems to be "the one" all these guys aspire to be. Schiffer is IMO 1000x better than McKinnon in his content, but that doesn't mean i'll take his word for it on this bag. Putting money down on a product makes it less bias.
He said he wil be honest but you can clearly see his not
@@kevinjansen9583 He probably IS being "HONEST" but he can't compromise his standing with PM so it's a totally compromised video for that very reason. The intention was to reach as many people as possible so this stupid bag could get funded. It worked. Lets be actually honest though, Peter had little to do with the design of the bag having ZERO design experience and using a photography bag for less years than most actual pro photographers.
The bag designers designed it, Peter gave bitty clueless notes "would be nice if" and these guys managed those expectations. The PM name on it and his stupid lame pirate logo (like he's some sort of rebel....guy is as vanilla as coke) and badabing, DONE
I_SavedLatin no way it’s worth that much. Not worth 1/3 as much
Exactly
You say : "For Me It is definitely worth the money"? Sure, it probably is if this ticks all of the boxes, but it's disingenuous to say this if you have been given the bag as a gift. Personally I don't think it's hitting the market at the right price point, though there is clearly a need for this kind off bag for a few photographers/youtube creators. For everyone else, I'd say go for a Lowe Pro Tactical bag and an overnight bag for your clothes, you know, for that one time where you have to grab a flight to somewhere to do a photoshoot, like.
Yup, just bought the pro tactical
Been really looking forward to seeing a review of this bag! Thanks!
Fancy seeing you here!
Woah, fancy seeing you too! I guess we love great content creators!
But is it even a fair review?
Great review man!!! That camera cube really is the best part!
EXACTLY 🔥👏🏽
*Tells a reasonable con*
Him: now maybe Im nittpicking and really trying to find a con and dont take my word blaah blaah completely honest"
Been looking for a bag that can fit the weebill-s. Seems like this will. Can't wait to get mine in! 🙌
Bro any bag is gonna fit a weebil I put mine in a hex sling once
I'm really glad you like the bag definitely a nice addition for you! I also get lowkey paranoid about pickpocketing 😅
I bought the PM bag. You know guys you can buy the main bag as a stand alone right? And then extras are $25 each. So I just bought the SD card wallet and rain cover. So paid like $450 for the lot. For that money and my requirements it’s perfect. It’ll check as hand luggage, keeping my cinema camera, lenses and MacBook Pro and some clothes with me on long haul flights. I can also take a wheeled pull along with extra clothes etc and check that in the hold. Daniel, The front pocket is lockable with a TSA lock, just move the main zipper round and secure it to that. This bag does everything well for me,
I’ve had the bag for a few weeks, and I really enjoy it but I have two major gripes. 1) the quick access panel is on the wrong side of the bag. Cameras have their grips on the right side, but since the quick access port is on the right side of the bag you have to grab the non grip grip side of your camera. Hopefully that makes sense. 2) the camera section isn’t flat so your expensive gear collapses in on itself kind of like when you and your friends slept on a trampoline and woke up all piled next to each other. Other than that, it FITS EVERYTHING. Two cameras, drone, mix, two monitors, a shadow of batteries, cables, filters and my drone. Like my whole studio with the exception of lights. It also carries three days of clothes on top of that! It’s insanely comfortable. If it holds up
For 3 years I’d say it was worth the $386 I spent on it.
That bag is so cool! Did anyone else notice how the color of the bag, the color of the wooden table and the color of the Wooden floor, all matched? If he didn't notice that, nice job anyway!
Security feature for front pocket- there’s a loop inside the pocket that pulls out and you can loop it w zipper. Great job w video. One of the best Mckinnon bag reviews.
Now, with all this gear packed into this bag, how many feet can you walk until you collapse ?
A long distance depending on the person theres no way this bag will ever weigh as much a rucksack, My advice put the amount of wight you would carry in a bag like this and go for a walk a coupe miles atleast once a week youll be amazed by how far youll be able to carry a heavy load for.
ethan dude, you carry that shit daily or only when deployed on a mission?
You have to be terminator with endore skeletons to carry this heavy bag. Function while it is great but it need wheels.
Or ya know...a grown up.
can you show us how to set up the Overhead shot?
Great point on the zipper not having the ability to self store in a built in garage type of fixture, or lock in place. Great review!!
I always watch all of your videos, I’ve been following you for a little over a year now and it’s crazy didn’t realize you blew up. Glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve. 500k now it’s nuts man. Could have sworn you were just at 80k not too long ago!
I bought this bag through their kickstarter back in November 19’ and I was blown away when I received it, to me it’s worth the money.
I paid 40 dollars for the Lowepro 180AW and it’s amazing especially for hiking.
As a military blogger/traveler, I really like the bag. The price is very high, but it makes sense why. It still hurts to buy it though haha. I think it’s nice, BUT, as you said the security of it. If it had a locking feature somewhere that’d be awesome. Overall dope bag! Thanks for the review! 💪🏽🤙🏽
That skating b roll just sold me this cube bag
the problem is the weight requirements that airplanes have for bring on luggage, and this might bring that weight above that limit, forcing them to check it and put it into the plane, which might be tossed hard and could potentially cause damage or lost etc. Thats problematic to a degree, but it depends on your equipment weight etc. Am i wrong in thinking like this?
I travel with an 18L bag which hovers just under 7kg, so no way this thing weighs under 10kg with camera gear and a 15" MacBook. Must be common in many parts of the world to not weigh carry on?
@@MrJed_s yeah, I have no idea what average weights come from a bag like this with heavy equipment. I guess this would be a one or two day vacation kind of bag lol. Would be curious to see people who flew with the bag, comment or talk about weight and if they could carry-on the bag or not.
I'd love to see the breakdown of that overhead rig!
Peter M’s bag is amaaaaaazing!!!
This is great, now if only I can afford it 😭😭
This bag is fine for summer time. Try packing winter clothes in this thing and you won’t even have space for filters.
I'm interested in that overhead setup
You brought up a good point, this is a premium product and the price reflects that.
I love your videos Daniel. Keep em coming. We share a lot in common and it's cool to see you out here doing your thing.
I love the bag but if I'm being honest, I'd want two additional features out of it. 1.) I'd want rollers so I could just roll it along in the airport or other places that I have to walk a long distance. 2.) I'd like to be able to put my own branding on the bag. I'm not sure if the material would allow for embroidery. Maybe it can but no one has talked about it so I'm not sure. On the plus side I do like that Peters logo has a very small footprint which allows for plenty of personal branding real-estate.
bro you're smashing it. been following you from almost day 1 from my personal account. PROPS BRO PROPS!
That bag is next level🔥🔥
Too expensive. Too big for my requirements. I will keep using my 20 litre Everyday Backpack as my carryon and put everything else in my light weight Eagle Creek wheeled luggage.
Its about as much as a peak design backpack, I would say it’s worth it for sure
No locking mechanism is not nit-picky at all actually. It's a valid criticism, and a huge one tbh. Thats hella easy access for pick-pocketers.
"Honest review" sounded more like "don't want to piss anybody off."
When I finished watching this review I was excited because this is the perfect bag for me but when I saw the price I was immediately sad
I just bought mine. It is worth every penny!
All these bags are becoming very similar. I'll stick with my Wandrd 21L. Perfect for weekend photography/city break.
Jay L I got a wandrd prvke 21 too and I really like it.
Thanks for the detailed review. I know much more about this setup now and like that its a complete system versus piecing together bag, accessory pouches and card holders.
It's a scam guys, I'm sorry for those involved but it's way overpriced, and you're paying for the TH-cam guy and his signature.
And a s a proof you're only seeing reviews from fellow TH-cam stars, most of them whom cannot even get the bag full.
Wndrd, peak and even mindshift all make better bags IMHO. No disrespect for this channel of course.
Cheers
Agreed
Yeah... look at lowepro. Their protactic 450 aw ii is now circling $220 on b&h.
It is essentially the same bag as the Peter McKinnon one with the exception being that it doesn't have space for clothes. I think that the lowepro is a far better bag (not even to mention the value proposition). I'm eagerly waiting for the long term reviews of this bag. I'm not sure if nomadic have build quality under control yet. The bag seems well built, but durability is a different issue.
I'm not too familiar with nomadic, but I don't think they have a reputation for solid camera bags nearly as good as say lowepro of think-tank.
@@ApertureApex You're missing the point of this bag. The protactic 450 aw ii is a good bag. Both Peter and I own it an like it, but when I'm going away for the weekend that bag holds my camera gear (only) and another bag has my clothing etc. What Peter made here is an "all in one bag". Going away for a 3-5 day trip and want to carry only one bag? This is it. Everything can fit in here. When I'm flying to Costa Rica to shoot a wedding this brings it from 3 bags to one. Going North for the weekend to get Northern Lights? One bag. Shooting a wedding out of town? One bag, LIKE A BOSS. Sure the ProTactic bag is dope, but it serves a different purpose. Peter and I have owed all the bags over the years from Peak Design, to LowePro to Canon to ThinkTank (he's in their catalog) and this is the culmination of the "dream bag" after buying 1000's of dollars of bags that "just don't do it all" .
Gabriel Bousquet small niche group who travel for over nighters and shoot. Just sayin
I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a scam, as the peak design travel line is around that price as well. The only difference is, the PDTL actually fits all your clothes and camera gear for a week of travel. I did a review on it and I would have to agree that this bag will only fit as much gear and essentials for a weekend trip at most, unless you want to constantly do laundry every 3 days.
Love my lowepro 450AW, but cube pack is really cool)
cinIALVEspO w sad but true
There are so many types of camera bags in the world. I also bought a camera bag the other day! I couldn't fit all the equipment and it was a lot of work ♬ The video was a lot of fun! I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)
I think that front pocket to hold wallet and passport is a design failure, it could be located at the back panel.
I thought that, it needs to be accessible whilst wearing the pack, this current way you have to keep taking the pack off, ask someone else to get the documents out, or keep them in your hand.
Great backpack. It is. Not for most people though. There's plenty of backpacks for much 1/3 of the price that do everything well enough to justify them over this.
My jansport + camera insert has been going strong for the past 20 years.. it outlasted all the expensive camera bags I've owned...
to me- with an hyper expensive backpack like this- the fact that most all the youtube reviews were done by people who were given it for free speaks volumes.
Holy cuuuuurrrrr-ap ! This bag is brilliant… briliant !!! I definitely drool over your gear though… I'm in my very first year of freelance content creation so I've got a long way to go to get there. In the meantime, thank you being inspiring and sharing all this quality content. Very glad I bumped into your channel. X
Though spendy, I really like a lot of these features. The cube bag converting into a backpack surprised me and I like that add-on option. Thanks for showcasing this for us!
Realistically regardless of how you spin it, its over priced. However as a piece of Peter Mckinnon merchandise, I feel it puts it in perspective. Its a really cool bag (although looks way chunkier then I like). If you dont like the price (like myself) dont buy it.
brooooooo, you have become my fav editor, youtuber!!! Great content!
I wonder if these bags have broken yet, looking at the design, i reckon it’l last 1 year tops before the ziper gives out.
The back straps connect to the bag via the back panel and Zipper, meaning all the weight of that huge bag is attached to the straps via the zipper only.
On other bags like my lowpro the straps connect to the entire shell, and the back panel zips off to reveal the items, which puts the weight of the bag from the shell to the straps and avoids putting strain on the zipper.
I reckon the zipper on this PM bag will break very fast
Re: price point; keep in mind that this is a premium product with 18 months R&D. Also, money is no object for Pete, so, it's not thought out for the average photographer's budget. That makes me sad, too.
The bag is $300 which is a very good price for the product. The $675 is a total price for all the accessories and the bag in one package deal. Pay attention people.
Hot damn dude!
bruh, when the f did you get to 500k? Well deserved brotha!
Aye great video Daniel, I might have to pick one up man. Sick you got it early, keep up the great videos homie.
You nailed my concern from the start. This bag is easy to identify and there are a heap of your tube videos saying hey your passport goes here. So people know where to find it and it’s gone. I prefer a pockets inside to store it and when I need it I have it in my hand. Other than that it does look like a great bag. If you own $5000+ worth of gear then of course you should get this.
I love your content and I hope you don’t sell out and start doing a hundred reviews once you go quantum leap!(but I do understand that you have to support yourself)
Great video! I have an older nomatic backpack and a big downside is that the chest straps felt too easy to come off, and was impossible for me to reattach. However, I like that it can distribute a lot of weight better than even very padded northface bags. If you want the pressure on your back to be more comfortable I definitely recommend it. Everything else in the bag is just like a normal backpack but better.
I think the biggest potentially negative I would find about this backpack (or any large camera backpack) is the fact that you're a big target for people who want to mug you for your gear. But again... this is true with any bag of this size.
I always find it ironic when people say they weren't paid for a review just given the product from their good friend as a gift... Of course thats biased, you were given a $650 product from your good friend, let the good reviews keep rollin!
We love you Daniel but please don't become like Peter and Matti, they're such mainstream vloggers these days, I remember in the old days when Peters videos would be 1 minute of intro follow by 15 minutes of Premiere editing, now its the complete opposite and just pushing products or ideas.
You're much better than that, your content is unique and inspiring, please keep doing you and try not to get so caught up in the YT mainstream junk.
I fully agree with this, actually stay FAR away from both Peter and Matti. Daniels' accomplishments are his own on this platform.
Thank God you came back
Love From Pakistan
I finally upgraded my bag, after about 12 years, and got a backpack with most of these features and really good quality, for about US$55, delivered. With lenses still on my wish list, there would be absolutely no way to justify spending this sort of money on a bag. More power to anyone who can though.
Basically like a fancier, more expensive Lowepro Whistler 450 AW ii, only the Lowepro is a lot more rugged & doesn't come with or offer all the smaller bells & whistles.
Honestly it looks like a really cool bag, and supporting Peter McKinnon is a nice bonus! My question is it looks like a really "thick" bag with all of the compartments being used. Is this going to work as a "carry on" with airlines? Is there dimensions listed fully packed as you had it?
Peter needs more Ford Raptors, Red Monstro's, Giant office spaces he won't ever use fully, new sea doo's etc. SUPPORT him ....riiiiiiiight.
This bag is the BAG.
Nah, Peak design 45l travel line IS the bag
The hype bag yes.
Neat! Thanks for the review, Daniel 🙌
Carry on allowance is 10 kg at most, with many airlines reducing their allowance to 8 kg. How much does this thing weigh empty? Are you really going to check all your equipment? You're probably better off with a hard case if you're going to check it. Might be good for hiking though, if you're strong enough to carry all that equipment.
If this bag can reduce the number of your carry-on items for flights and doesn't weigh a ton on your back, then it's worth it.
Thank you the review. They just came out with an update to address some concerns people are having.
Thanks for the review! This was very helpful!! That day pack is dope
I appreciate your in-depth look at this bag!
if this cost 200-300 like most camera backpacks, it would be STEAL.
But the hefty price tag makes it not worth it for the vast majority of people.
I'd much prefer the RFID safe pouch is on the other side of the bag (i.e. against my back). Without any safety feature to that compartment basically people can easily open the zip without you feeling anything especially when the bag is packed..
First off Awesome review! Seems totally genuine and I Love it.
My only concern would be the design of the cube packs zipper in backpack mode. Very cool concept but I don't think I would risk a zipper failure and dropping my gear on the ground.
That cube pack is sick!
you reckon its worth the money but you didn't pay for it. rolls eyes.
Careful you don't step in the B.S ;)
Somebody give the man some neosporin for that burn 🧴
They put Peter McKinnon's name on it and charge an outrageous price to it. At the same time and even before this, PGYTECH OneMo backpack was also launched at Kickstarter with similar design at a 3rd of the price.
