- After waiting a whole year for this bag, it's finally here. However, it does not really fit as much as I expected. There are a few design flaws.

These is the kind of videos we need to watch, it’s actually useful
Glad I could help!
I can appreciate this video.
However, I have this bag and I’m able to fit:
TOP PART (The Loft)
1 Sony A9II with the 35mm GM Lens
IN THE “CUBE” SECTION I have the two cube configuration, in it I have:
1 24-70mm GM Sony lens
1 14-24 Sigma lens
1 50mm GM Sony lens
1 24mm GM Sony Lens
1 GoPro 9
1 ND Filter
2 Wireless Go Mics/Transmitter
1 Anker power bank
Various cables
LAPTOP SECTION:
16” MacBook Pro M1 Max
SIDE POCKET ONE:
Manfroto tripod
SIDE POCKET TWO
Water Bottle or Miscellaneous pocket
I can’t help but feeling like people try to put square pegs into round holes and say it’s no good. This bag is not for everybody, but it works for my needs.
You can fit more with smaller gear. They use canon gear in their marketing materials and so do I and I cannot fit nearly as much as they did unless you do not take your laptop.
Yeah dude, let's sell our existing mirrorless gear and buy entirely new smaller ones so it can fit in the bag. OR recognize the design flaws and misleading marketing
Thanks for the honest review!
Always!
This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks for putting this together and sharing it. I wanted to get a feel for Canon use case options ✅
Glad it was helpful!
Nice points in your video. I think they made this backpack more for a run and gun style for your day of work, not to carry every equipment that you have. The loft (top compartment) would house your camera body and attached lens, and the inside area would just house things that you might need for the day. At least that's how I will use it when I'm blessed to get mine hopefully soon. Most likely I'll use my PM Travel backpack if I need to carry most if not all of my equipment. Again, great honest video! 👍🏽
Totally. I was hoping to fit a little more than I was able to but not everything. I do have my lowepro 450 bag that fits everything for large trips but this was not able to fit nearly as much as it should have considering its a 35L bag and my 30L peak design bag fits more.
I believe this is a 25L bag (Peter's older & bigger nomadic bag is 35L). That's probably why your peak design 30L fits more.
One of the two best videos I have seen. So many unboxing videos, glad you got around to taking a deeper look as to what fits. Couple of comments: Nomatic did send something out to get inserts to make the cubes more rigid like in the kickstarter campaign. I agree they do not look the greatest as is right now. Very good points about not being able to stand up cameras or lenses. I have not received my bag yet and am now super curious how my camera and lenses will fit into the smaller cubes. I am assuming the 70-200 fits laying down in the smaller cube?
Did they send out those inserts to anyone who got the cubes or just anyone who asked?
The 70-200 will fit in a small cube with maybe a very small item in front of it. The RF lens could fit in there with a camera body probably. But the EF mark iii takes up just about almost the whole small cube.
Great video. Helped me make my decision
Glad I could help
I went with the divider set, to maximize carry space for larger loadouts. I ordered 1 small cube as well. Good info here, thanks!
Glad I could help!
I'm always surprised by backpack reviews, not saying unboxing videos, that don't go into depth like this. Of course I want to know every configuration I can do & how well-protected all the gear I've spent thousands on will be. Thank-you! A very much needed video.
Fair enough!
Great video. V useful. Mine arrived but I haven't fully loaded it up to try out the different options. I'm not sold on it yet from first impressions either.
Let me know if you find any other good solutions!
This is a great video, the best I have seen yet on this bag. Most of the other videos are unboxing vids but don’t go into a lot of detail. Nice work!
The kickstarter project for this bag seemed wonky to me from the beginning. Probably some of that can be blamed on covid but in hindsight its seems to me that the kickstarter wasn’t managed very well. A year ago I wanted so much to order the bag but hesitated because I had a strange feeling about the whole ordering process. A month or so ago I actually did order the bag and the ordering process definitely was odd, no option to order cubes or dividers. I cancelled the order. It’s disappointing to see the cubes that appear to be questionable quality. I still think this could be a decent bag but I absolutely love my Shimoda Explore V2 25 bag. It’s simply amazing in so many ways. I liked so much that I bought the 35L for those times I need/want to pack alot of stuff!
Thanks! Yeah, its been hit or miss from what I am seeing.
I do really appreciate you giving an honest review. To many people give these fluff reviews and deceive people. With that being said it’s 25L Everyday bag. The set up your putting in to me isn’t a 25L setup. I could be wrong. For me I like the bag cause I’m no professional all my stuff is mirrorless so it works great for me. I can’t fit my A6400 ,ZVE-10, Tamron 11-20, Sony 16-55, and Sony 70-350 or the Sigma 16mm. I will say it’s right with the 70-350 when I put crane M3 in too. I use the with 2 small cubes the way Peter did in a recent video. I get how it would tight for pro’s or full frame setups. Anyway appreciate the video man. Just subscribed!!
I could agree! I think the bag size is a little strange with its dimensions is really my main complaint. I can only fit my one camera, one lens, and drone with controller along with minor accessories. If they made it just .5 inches deeper, it could have fit one more item like a spare lens or camera body and maybe it would have been like a 27L instead. Would have preferred that.
I do love the bag, just wish I could fit one more thing in it with a laptop.
Great video, Question: Does the PeterM new Sling fit in this bag?
I dont think the sling was meant to go in the backpack. Its kind of its own bag. The tech bag was meant to go inside this bag and does fit.
It does fit inside the larger travel bag, the 30-35L one. But sadly not this one
I’ve been considering this bag to utilize one Profoto B10 and two Profoto A10’s. One EOS R, RF70-200, and RF 24-105, and two nano light stands. What do you think?
I think you would be pushing the size limitations of this bag but I cannot say if it will or will not fit everything. I would honestly look into something bigger like the lowepro 450 aw. This PM bag is not really meant for hauling all of your gear, its more of a put a camera, lens, drone, and some extra stuff in it.
Personally i own the Camera Pack which is a travel bag hybrid. I am happy with it, its super comfortable, its the most comfortable bag i ve ever owned. But, being a travel bag it is a bit big for everyday use, even though i use it for exactly that, everyday use.
When the everyday bag was announced i was a bit on the fence as to whether to get it or not. I did want to go smaller but partially cause of the design and mainly for the price, and because it looked very expensive for what it is kind of put me off. Then i changed my mind even though i still had my doubts about the bag.
After watching this video i decided that i am definitely not getting it, its the unbiased perspective i needed. Thank you for this video!
Yeah, its hit or miss if it will work or not for you. Personally it has been a great bag for me but I wish it fit just a little more or was laid out a little differently.
so which setup do you prefer? I think the dividers are the best options rather than the cubes.
I have not touched my cubes since getting the bag. I think the dividers are the go to.
Still waiting for mine. So thanks for making this!
Hope you like it!
I think most people are still waiting
@@johnhalley6731 I just got mine and posted a video on it today!
@@Shellda I'm happy for you. I'm considering doing a charge back on them if I don't hear from customer service by Monday night.
@@johnhalley6731 I don’t blame you. I was getting close to pulling the plug. Fingers crossed for you John!
From the very first video they put up, I knew this bag was meant for smaller cameras like Sony bodies But it looks like its quite smaller than what I've expected. I use Canon R line up and I'm too slighting doubting myself to use this bag daily when package arrives. 1 whole year... I hope it was worth the wait
Yeah, I am a little disappointed with the bag after waiting a year. In the marketing material they used canon L series EF lenses sitting vertical so I figured my smaller RF lenses could fit but they do not. I think they may have used like a 35mm lens which is not super long to make it look like it can fit more than it can. You really need a specific set of gear to fit in this bag UNLESS you only need: 1 camera, 1 lens, 1 drone. Then its perfect and can fit stuff up top like a mic, filter, batteries, and such.
Great video, thank you!!! Could you share inner dimensions of both, small and large cubes, please?
I do not have this but think it may be on the products site.
@@TheEngineeringFilmmaker Thanks. Yes they do, not on the bag's page, but one needs to find the cubes as a separate item. There it is shown.
Maybe I am late to the party, but I would REALLY like to know if this bag would fit an RP + EF 70-200mm f/2.8 (MK II) attached to each other?
Presently my main lens is a 70-200 mm f/2.8 and I would REALLY love to have it fit being attached so I don't have to faff about once I am on the spot.
I think the lens combo might fit but the adapter might make it too long.
Thanks for an honest review. Quite clever is a nice way of saying deceptive marketing. I was sitting on the fence to move over from my very well setup LowePro 450 AWII but I think I’ll hold off. There’s not enough benefit here to justify the swap other than just revealing to my peers that I’m a PM fanboy.
I mean I love PM but not in a way that would allow me to be bias towards a piece of gear!
I wouldnt say that the lowepro 450aw and this bag are in the same category of bag though. The everyday bag has more feature/functions for "everyday use" where as the lowepro is more for fitting as much gear as possible. I do have the 450 aw version 1 and its amazing when I need to bring a lot of gear in a "smaller" backpack but this everyday bag could have fit just a little more gear if it was like .5 inches deeper.
I agree. I ordered the 2 small cubes, which turned out to be completely useless to me. I had to order the dividers, so I could fit my 200-600mm lens.
Yeah, I cannot find a useful "use" for the cubes. I dont see a need to want to take them out since I don't really have 2 types of kits I bring with me. Its a small bag so you can only fit like one kit per arrangement.
When I was shopping for the Nomatic Peter McKinnon 25L bag someone told me to get the Large Cube and I will be able to fit a lot of gear in there. That was true and false. I was able to get my Sony A7iii with 24-70mm lens attached; my drone and controller and a wide angle lens but it was super snug. Everything was in there really tight using the large cube. So I then took all the dividers out of the cube and used them in a configuration in the bag without using the cube and I was able to comfortably fit my camera with lens attached; DJI Air 2S drone on its side; 4 drone batteries; DJI RC Pro controller; 14mm Rockinon Lens. The loft area will have cables and stuff I can quickly grab out when I am on the plane.
I think the cubes are a good idea in theory but I have not found a use for them that makes sense yet
Will the sling get a video? if not how's it holding up ?
I have made a sling video, just need to edit!
Great content man! I was really disappointed that you can’t stand an R6 in the small cube sideways while having a laptop. Ruins the “everyday” part of the bag
Yeah, if this bag was like 1 inch or even .5 inches deeper it would easily fit most cameras on their side.
The bizarre part of the Canon RF lenses not fitting upright is that Pete shoots with Canon RF gear. You’d think he would’ve been the first line to prevent this silly (but significant) mistake by Nomatic.
Yeah, considering Pete uses the R5/R6 and RF glass, you would think the bag would have been optimized for canon gear, not sony.
Finally an honest review of the McKinnon regarding equipment. While I loved the look and feel of the 25L, it simply doesn’t fit most pro bodies and lenses.
Yeah, this bag is honestly great but I wish the minor flaws were fixed. The biggest annoyance I have with this bag is the laptop zipper always getting stuck on the other zipper when unzipping.
Isn't that what the bigger bag is for?
I have a number of cubes large and small. Nomatic do a retro frame that velcros into the cube its got a wire band around the top and what this does is square up the cube. I have 2 large and 4 small cubes nomatic sent these to me for all my cubes free of charge and I from the UK so they fedex them out to me great product and service
👍
I can't fit anything. I backed it on kickstarter and I have only received the tech organizer. Customer service still hasn't responded to my email request.
Yeah the customer service has not been great I am hearing. I just used my bag for a 2 week trip in Iceland and Im not super impressed
How can I buy it?
It may be up on Nomatics website or still on kickstarter/indigogo
I did receive an email from the kickstarter to provide a FREE attachment to make the module sections to stay together better. Mine should be coming this week.
I will have to check my email. Honestly I didnt even end up using the cubes.
@@TheEngineeringFilmmaker Understood, I use the cubes primarily. One for work and one for personal.
Can you clarify what kind of free attachment they providing. Will it make cubes to hold shape? I want to buy the two small cubes but so disappointed with the quality of those ovals
@@AlexSTR it's supposed be an attachment that fits outer edge of the cubes to help them keep their form.
@@jtkoppa3492 Thank you very much! That might help with the shape!
I think the reality is this bag is just too small for your gear. I shoot Fuji, mainly X100V + TCL and WCL and need and everyday bag to carry non camera stuff. I plan to use one cube and I think this bag will be perfect. Occasionally I'll carry an XT-1 and an FD lens or two in addition, and an IPad Pro.
I mean, Ive even tried to use smaller gear like my canon Rp which is pretty small. I have found that it really only fits a camera, lens, and drone with controller with a mic. They use canon gear in the kickstarter and I use canon gear. they just used the right size gear for marketing.
Homie never played Tetris and it shows…
Too bad tetris is 2D and this is a 3D geometry problem ;)
Nice to finally see a non-shill based review on these overpriced and form over function bags.
No problem!
I’d never bring my laptop in this bag methinks but good info nonetheless
I can be useful
Thank you very much for HONEST review with fit examples. Really disappointed with cubes quality. How can I find the honest TH-camr just like you who tried to fit Sony Gear?))))
It is probably the same. Sony gear is not that different in size.
What a bummer. I love my Shimoda Explore V2 35L. I can fit my R5 with battery grip, R6 on its side, Holy Trinity of lenses all in a medium DSLR cube. Even my RF 70-200mm F2.8L fits standing upright.
I was worried about the two smaller cubes but this is really not great for photographers. I wouldn’t have expected the misleading information from Peter McKinnon. So sad as he’s my favorite TH-cam photography influencer. And his first backpack was really great.
So two things
1: The backpack will still fit your taller lenses standing up right IF you do not have a laptop in the bag. Theres enough padding for your lens to not be an issue standing up (unless its a tall lens). BUT just keep in mind you still cant put certain things in the zipper pocket as if you do, it may crus them.
2: I did watch peters video again and his video was not very misleading. he mainly talked about the modularity and features. Even in his video, he did lay his stuff down flat not standing it up. This is an everyday bag not a travel bag but I think it would be a very useful bag for travel since it does have a laptop spot in it. With the laptop inside the bag cannot hold too much.
The main reason I am disappointed is that its a 35L bag but yet fits less than my Peak design 30L bag.
@@TheEngineeringFilmmaker I agree I think David misunderstood what the bag is and what it's not.
@@TheEngineeringFilmmaker I'm pretty sure the Everyday / v2 bag is 25L (his original bag is 35L with some expansion). That could be the difference you're seeing to the PD 30L.
Yes they definitely should
Have made it just a little taller. Even my Sony lenses can’t be stood up. You just can’t pack it efficiently. End up with lots of wasted space. The cubes are trash quality. More like ovals than cubes.
Yes 1000000%. I feel like there is a lot of wasted space compared to other bags. Even my Lowepro 350AW that is very similar is material can fit my lenses up and down. This bag just seems a little porrly designed considering they had over a year to figure it out.
this is a good review, but maybe a disclaimer about this bag not working for him would be nice. I agree, it is an honest review, but this bag was meant for the run and gun, and fit the bare basics in there. The bigger PM Bag definitely fits a lot more and has way more space. I just got this bag and love it; all of my canon gear fits in (not at the same time but thats why I got it)..its great for a day trip, and fits my canon body with a lens, an extra lens, filters, laptop/iPad, and drone all just fine without cramming anything in.
I mean, I cant even put my camera in sideways and a laptop at the same time, it puts way too much pressure on my laptop than im comfortable with. My R5 is a regular sized camera. I can only fit one drone, controller, lens and camera with maybe a laptop charger and laptop, then the misc items like headphones or other items in the top. My point with the size was that they did not carefully optimize the space in the inside like every other camera bag does. They could have raised the depth by like .5 inches and it would have been the perfect everyday bag.
