As a photographer, I prefer a sling bag as it's easier to change lenses without having to remove the pack. Unfortunately, there are no current sling bags that accommodate all of the gear I generally like to carry. The everyday backpack zip is a nice compromise, as it allows easy side access (similar to a sling) but has a more secure closure at the top compared to the magnetic buckles of the non-zip. I tried the 15L, but found it too small, so I went with the 20L and so far, it's been great. Therefore, for general use I'd probably go with the V2 non-zip (primarily for its expandability), but for photography, the zip is the clear winner. A nice feature of the zip is that you can easily tie-off the zipper pulls to prevent accidental opening. As a side note, I got the hip belt in order to increase security, transfer a bit of weight off my back, and it's nice to have additional mounting options for a PD Capture (although it's too bad they didn't provide for left-side mounting). I have a number of PD items and they're generally well-designed and well-made (plus there's that lifetime warranty). Another plus of the these packs is that they don't look like camera bags (my Lowepro ProTactic 450 is very obvious--and huge).
I've seen a lot of content about those backpacks but seriously it's the best, straight to the point and with the good informations, and good video examples as well. Thanks a lot for this video it made my brain clear about those two. I'll go with the everyday backpack, probably the 30l since it's the same price as the 20l in my country.
If it is not cameras it is the accessories ;) I have over the years tried to resolve that challenge of what camera bag or bags works best. Small form or large form, fit everything in to minimalist. Shoulder bags to back packs to sling bags. Very Interesting comparison and observations!
I actually don't like the shape of EB. At top width vs at bottom, it goes 3 cm down. And I know that upper part is meant for longer lenses etc. But looks not so pleasing. I liked v2, for daily work + occasional 📸 . EB is good for full time photographers who most likely to carry 📸 daily/frequently.
Great video i thought you would have had more subscribers haha, the production quality is great! I think ill probably go for the Everyday bkpk V2 when I have some spare money :)

That's awesome, glad it helps!
Hi nice video, I wanna the the everyday zip for traveling I would like to know how many piece of clothes can it carry ? For 2 weeks ?
That really depends but 1 week is a bit of a stretch for me with the zip if I want to pack all of my clothes in it.
If it is not cameras it is the accessories ;) I have over the years tried to resolve that challenge of what camera bag or bags works best. Small form or large form, fit everything in to minimalist. Shoulder bags to back packs to sling bags. Very Interesting comparison and observations!
Less is definitely more!
Nice comparison. I went with the Everday backpack V2 20L
Great choice!
Nice video, BTW is that charcoal color?
Thanks and yes the everyday backpack is charcoal and the zip is ash
