I literally just started looking for a camera bag now that I need to carry more than a couple lenses and a body since i just started studying photography & cinematography at uni, this would be perfect!
Right and even IF the perfect camera bag DID exist, it wouldn't be perfect since our needs / workload / gear etc. change all the damn time! hahah! Currently rocking a Lowepro that's too large for "everyday" use but it allows me to carry all of the lenses, gimbal, can strap on tripod of even skis + poles!
I´m using the Bevis Gear camera back for a couple of years now... very small company, bag was brought to life through a kickstarter project... its not the biggest bag, but its unique in the way you can access your gear. You never have to put the bag on the dirty ground again, i love it
My gear: - a Sony zv e-10 with the kit lens and the Sony 10-18mm ultra wide lens - a GoPro Hero 8 with several extension poles - a DJI mavic Air 2 drone - an insta360 X4 with extension poles - the DJI Mic 2 - the Hohem isteady MT2 gimbal - a tripod - a NorthFace 32l duffelbag that I'm supposed to be using as a camera gear bag. Well this will be my first time travelling with all this gear and I believe the bag won't hold that well. I'm looking into getting your favourite bag soon too. I'll let you know once I have. Thanks for the video!!!
I have the same issue! I’ve been through a bunch of camera bags. Right now, I have a Pelican case, a couple of Wandrd backpacks, and a Peak Design. The gear I’m rocking is Nikon Z8, 70-200, 200-500, 14-30, SmallRig cage, SmallRig fluid head tripod and a bunch of smaller accessories.
Just getting started with photography and loving every moment of it! My passion for creating drone videos led me to pick up an AZIV camera and a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens to pair with my DJI Air 2S. Exploring my small town on walks has been such an adventure, finding unique things to capture along the way. Right now, I’m using a budget camera bag from Amazon, but I’d love to upgrade to something that can hold all my gear, including my drone, in one place for easier adventures!
Hi Chris! I'm a huge fan of your work and always learn so much from your videos. My current gear includes a Sony Alpha 6400 with a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 lens, a Zoom tripod, a DJI Mini 3 Pro RC, a DJI OM 6, a K&F Concept CPL filter, a Freewell ND filter, and sennheiser mKE 200 Mic. While I'm passionate about capturing moments, my current backpack is a repurposed school bag, making it difficult to safely and efficiently carry and organize all my gear. It often leads to frustration and missed opportunities due to slow setup times and the risk of damage. I believe a dedicated camera backpack would significantly improve my workflow and creativity. It would allow me to transport my gear more securely and efficiently, enabling me to capture those fleeting moments with ease. Thank you for this incredible opportunity!
What I still love about the 25L is the ability to swap the cube system in and out. I do a lot of different gigs from headshots with flash setups to rocket remote photography, so being able to quickly and seamlessly swap equipment and not worry that something is being missed is huge for me. And for every day, I'm also now in the 18L camp. Carries my R6, 24-70, 100-400 and my headphones with some other accessories. Much more comfortable and easier to store at the office.
I love how the PGYTECH OneMo 2 positions itself as a gimbal user. Now, everything can fit in one bag. I need it as a hybrid shooter with two cameras and four lenses.
Awesome comparison! I am currently using a small ONN camera bag for my Sony A6400 and A6500. I have only done video for a couple of weddings and am really liking the idea of landscape photography. My current bag doesn’t quite have the room that I would like to have and this PGYTech bag would be AWESOME!!! Keep up the awesome work!
I'm currently using the F-Stop Ajna for all my gear, including the Sony ZV-E1 as my main video camera, the DJI Mavic 3 and at least one FPV drone! What I am missing now is some space to also transport my DJI RS gimbal, which did not find any space so far and is therefore collecting dust in my office. That's why the PGYTech OneMo would be perfect! Before watching this video, I've ordered myself the K+F Sling bag which seems to be incredible in terms of value for money... excited to test it!
I aspire to own this bag as I continue using my trusty DSLR setup, choosing to prioritize essential expenses over upgrading my gear. My dependable companions in photography are the Canon 5D Mark III and 6D Mark I, equipped with a 16-35mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.2 lenses. This bag would provide the added security my equipment deserves and greatly improve the comfort and convenience of carrying my gear during shoot.
Been looking for a bag recently, came at the perfect time! Thanks Chris. Been looking for hiking backpacks mainly as they are more comfy with heavier loads and finding one with a panel access is hard.
Great review again! Currently using an ancient Ogio Airport bag, its large, heavy and i need something new and easy to bring everywhere! Pack it full of 2 Canon EOS Rs, and RF glass, 15-35, 24-105, 70-200, a few flashes, Go Pros, gimbal and other small accessories. A new pack would change my ability to haul gear with me to remote sites as the airporter is more like the hard case on wheels.
I'm a total rookie here! in the process of buying my first camera.I fly a DJI mini II. And I don't necessarily think I "deserve" your bag but it would definitely help me as I set out to learn photography. ✌🏻
My setup is the Canon R6 Mk2, R7, RF Zoom trifecta of lenses, DJI RS2, DJI Mavic 3, DJI Mic 2, Maven magnetic filters, Peter Lingren Battery Tri-charge, and a bunch of random accessories haha. I have the OneMo Lite but it is way too restrictive for my gimbal and bigger drone, borderline too small so the OneMo 2 might be the perfect upgrade for a more serious bag to hold everything! Best of luck to whoever wins!
Hey Chris, for me as someone who also does time lapsing and who needs extra tripods, sliders, and motion control systems that need to fit into one bag, I haven't found the perfect backpack for that case yet. Maybe your favorite one is the one.
I have about 15 camera bags but use them more for storage. I tend to pack for the purpose and kit. That definitely reinforces for “the perfect camera bag doesn’t exist” statement. It’s different for my full frame kit than my M43 one, and different for video or stills. Thanks for doing the contest!
I have a Canon 5D III as a primary photo camera and a Canon M6 II as a compact travel slash video camera that I can adapt my EF lenses on to. I still use the holy trinity of lenses in EF mount. Once I can afford it, I'll upgrade to a better mirrorless setup. I have a gimbal too, but barely use it now as it's awkward to carry around. I use a generic amazon camera bag as I haven't found the perfect bag yet, but the PM Nomatic and PGYTech bag seem to be pretty close, and I love how they made a place to store the gimbal!
Recently upgraded to a6700 used from using a6400 for 5 years to get into filmmaking. For lens, I got a Sigma 18-50 recently for an all-around lens for videos/photo, and still rocking a Tamron 18-300 for photos and few sigma prime lenses. Hoping to upgrade from my generic 11L camera bag from amazon for a much better camera bag. This will help me save a ton of money. Wishing us luck to all participants!
My entire set up: Fuji x100vi, Fuji xt4, insta360, 70-200fuji, GoPro. iPhone. Currently rocking an ONA bag which is beautiful and I love but it doesn't carry everything when I need it. Would love the PGYTech to expand my capability to carry everything.
I have a Shimoda Action x30. wich is amazing for travel because you kind of have a dry bag ontop where you can fit tons of extra stuff like clothes or any other things besides camera gear which makes it amazing for camping trips. Im rocking a lumix s5 with a sigma 24-70mm and I would love the 🔫-tech oneMo 2 so i have some great space for my gimbal! 😁
When I first "got into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a kislux . I wasn't trying to show off, brag, or pass it off as genuine, I just wanted to see if it fit my requirements and how it would sit with me before I spent money on the real thing (without the SA staring at you). Turns out, it didn't fit me. I saved a ton of money and time on returns. It made me very happy. It fit me perfectly.
Chris I have literally been checking reviews for the PGYTech for the past month 😭 My bag is starting to fall apart and I’m filling it up with EVERYTHING I can when I travel: R6, 15-35, 70-200, Fuji X100V, DJI Mini3 Pro, extra batteries, filters, DJI Mic Mini, Action cams, waterproof case and other bells and whistles! Incredibile that you are doing a giveaway of it right now!! I am about to go through an extensive trip to Iceland soon and I would love to have a quality bag that will accompany me as I go on probably the biggest journey of my past 8 years, and hopefully also help me as I transition my career from 9-5 to professional photographer!
That PGY tech back is an absolute unit. I've downsized my gear a bit but still rocking a Canon R5, RF 14-35 f/4 L, RF 24-70 f/2.8 L, EF 70-200 f/2.8 L, and Rokinon RF 85mm f/1.4. Then I also have a few different filters, a Røde videomic NTG, Llano dual battery charger, and the goat aka a rocket blower 😂
The timing of this is mad, been looking at the OneMo2 25L😂Great video! And that olive green is so nice My current bag is a piece of poo, I got it for like ￡55 it's an old Lowepro something (think it's discontinued). I've ended up scratching most of my stuff as it's a floppy bag. I have the XH2-S, 10-24, 16-55mm, DJI RS4, DJI Mini 4 Pro, 16" M1 Max, then all the little things like SSDs, filters, batteries/chargers and whatnot. My tripod is usually just swapped for the gimbal as I've never really needed both on the same shoot so far.
No idea if you’re still going - but I just rocked a Lowepro messenger bag that really killed it on my vacation, great strap, held what I needed and was low profile.
Sony shooter here! 👋 Used the Incase ICON for years. Fits lots of gear but definitely guilty of the “tipping” problem. 😆 Great review, thanks for the info!
Currently using a Sony a7c and a7r3, usually with the 35mm f1.8 on one and the 85mm f1.8 on the other, plus one or two flashes, transmitter, the dji rsc2 gimbal when I'm shooting video, a Coiro leather dual harness for when I'm shooting events, a tech pouch full of memory cards, cords, and spare batteries, and my 16inch Macbook pro. It's a struggle to pack all that into my current camera bag (a Hakuba something or other) when I need everything, and my current one just isn't comfy when carrying a lot of gear. Been looking to upgrade for a while, especially since these days I need to travel for events, but hadn't figured out what camera bag would work for me. That PGYTech bag actually looks really nice for my needs.
Right now I am just getting started into photography following my passion for making drone videos I purchased an A7IV and a sigma 24-70 f 2.8 to compliment my DJI Air 2s! I have loved the adventure of going on walks in my small town and trying to find interesting things to photograph. Right now I’m using a cheap amazon bag but a new camera bag would make it easier to haul my stuff around with me including my drone in the same place!
Sounds like you're really embracing the journey! The DJI Air 2S is awesome...what's even more awesome is that you won the giveaway, Connor! Send my team an email at info@thechrishau.com so we can hook you up!
Currently, I have Sony ZV-E10 ll with Tamron 17-70 f/2.8. This is a perfect setup for me. I was saving to invest in some camera bag & the might help me a lot. Cheers!
Great vid there is no perfect bag is definitely something I’m learning as I watch these review vids. I’m a lumix user - S5ii with an 50mm,85 and the Kit lens and I have a DJI pocket 3. Looking to start getting into videography
My current setup is a sony a5100 from fb marketplace with a sigma 18-50 f2.8, as well as a bunch of vintage lenses. I also own a Canon 50D along with a canon 17-40 f4, 70-200 f4 IS USM L, as well as a 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS USM L. I shoot mainly cars and motorsports, as well as landscape and portraits, and will be going on a trip to Japan in February. I feel like the bag would be perfect as both an everyday shooting bag as well as for travel :)
I learned early there’s no one bag to rule them all, but I can find bags to match situations. I have a walking around daily backpack for when I wanna have a ton of stuff or if I plan on shopping and want extra room. I have a sling for my mirrorless and a smaller one for my everyday camera. I have a travel bag that fits camera gear and I may have a bag problem
Currently im trying to keep things small and compact useing A6400, sony 16-55mm and sony 70-350mm. Some wide lens and probably drone is on the way so that bag would be the perfect size for that setup!
A great bag wouls be awesome! The search never ends for this paramedic for "THE" bag 🤣 I'm sporting a Canon 5DMKIV with a 100mm f2.8 macro, 16-35 f2.8, 24-70 f4 and a 70-100 f2.8. Sometimes there's a dji air 2 stashed in as well. This all gets crammed into my lowepro bag. You should totally ship one of those babies to me because, well, that would be awesome 🤠 also, a more slim bag for shooting around town or hiking would be genius and the handles on the pew pew bag! Chef's kiss!
Rocking a Sony a6700 and a FX30 depending on application. Sigma 18-50, 23, and a Tamron 70-180, with a couple others in the mix when needed. Ronin gimbal, batteries, filters, monitor, assortment of cables. Don’t know if I deserve a bag, but it would certainly be nice for organization and as a quick get up and go bag for shooting. Great videos
There are some pretty killer bags I've used in the past that have gotten damn close to being perfect. Two in particular have been pretty much spot on. The Vinta Supply Co (RIP) Backpack, and it's clone from Langly, the Alpha Compact. Up until I upgraded to the Z8, it fit everything I could want, and didn't scream "expensive camera inside". That said, my current kit: Z8, Z 14-24, Z 24-70, Z 70-200.
Love love my PGY tech onemo lite ive been using the past couple years and holds a ton of stuff for its size. Holding up great and gets on a plane as a free personal item. Cant ask for more.
Nikon supporter here...I have the kitchen sick that also needs to fit into my bag...along with homeschool junk and more camera gear..oh and possibly Social Work job tools as well!
I am currently using a vanguard backpack but it is truly on its last strings if you will, hopefully I get a new one soon! I used a Canon R6 with a Tamron 150-600mm, along with a RF 14-35mm, a nifty fifty, and a 100 mm macro. I love nature and wildlife as well as landscape, I'm a student filmmaker just starting in university studying film and television and really need a new bag because they are so expensive.
I currently run a Canon EOS-R, 24-105 w/EF-RF adapter, 17-40 w/EF-RF adapter, and a 70-200 w/EF-RF adapter in a Lowepro Drone backpack, cause it was a hand me down and amazingly it fits in that bag, but not much after that, so i stuff the top compartments with my RODE mic, charger, extra batteries, and filter pouch, thats pretty much it. I like the backpack cause since it has the harder reinforced outer lid it protects my gear, but its just too small to carry anything else, so i have to carry another sling if i want to lug around extra stuff. I have eyed the PGYTECH OneMo and have considered it, but again its been a consideration based upon funds at the moment. Great videos and thank you for all your advice and common sense to what is needed vs wanted in a world where there is NO PERFECT BAG!!
I use the Wandrd 6L Sling. I have a Osmo Action 4, Osmo Pocket 3 and a HoverAirX1 selfie drone. With all the leads and batteries/packs im finding it a little tight now. So the larger bag your giving away would really come in handy. First time I've seen that pack and i too love the logo. I really like Wandrd stuff and was looking to upgrade but if i won this then obviously no need. Great review by the way.👍
first of all thanks for your efforts im using brandless camera bag which is not safe 😅😂, my equipments is sony a7iii sony fx30 tamron 28 75 sigma 16 f1.4 dji mic weebill s gimbal helioss 58m f2 dji action 5 pro and macbook pro 14 inch
Currently rocking a 6 year old mid size Manfrotto bag. It was purchased because it does not look like a camera bag as much. Definitely in need of something bigger when I travel though. Leaving some gear behind hurts sometimes.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for kislux , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, itâs your choice. No judgement from me
My Every day in a two year old $65 bag that is falling apart: Canon R8 with an adaptor for old lenses (used to show in 80D) Nifty 50 24mm DJI Mavic mini 3 Galaxy tablet s8 remarkable tablet a smaller bag with lotions, Chapstick, necessary chargers, and gum. Lense cleaning accessories The bag is just getting old and the Faux leather looks extremely dingy. I would love to show up to sets looking a little more put together and it would be nice for some extra space. Love the review content dude!
I just bought my first camera and I am still a student and love your videos. I still need a Camera bag. I would like the Bag really. And I love your vids so much❤❤❤❤
@ Hi Chris I acctualy dont know how to send you a Message and I would be really happy when someone else would win the bag because I got an early christmas present with the wandrd rouge sling bag 6l. Sorry for the bad news. Merry christmas❤️❤️
Great video! Im using the Peak Design 30L bag rn. Im really trying to get into vlogging and youtube, so I figured, lemme carry around my Sony with 2 lenses in there all the time and at least it'll be with me to shoot with. But the PD bag shelf system is really betraying me rn. It normally is fine, but lately, I can't get the things I need to fit anymore and its really annoying! I really wanna switch everything to nanuk and just before your video I spent the last 2 hours or so researching the 935 and the 963 with all the Cubik inserts lol
Dig the vid. I’m still using an old army green in case bag from 6 years ago. Works, but not the most elegant 😅 An upgrade would be most appreciated! 🙌😁
So agree about not having the perfect bag, that’s why you need more than one :) I currently only have one, a think tank streetwalker. I would trust your opinion about bags, I’m sure you’ve tried a used a tin of them!
The perfect camera bag doesn't exist honestly maybe that's s big chance to get pgytech 😂😂. I used canon eos r6 mark ii rf24-105 , rf 50mm rf 16mm rf 14-35mm. Gimble mostly and few small panel lights and tripod sometime
Just get to the end of your video! I😁 never try any of those bags you mentioned before, I was always with Wandrd, I used a 2017 wandrd prvke 21lts but its small for the gear that i want to carry with me like my sony a7c, my sony 16-25 mm f2.8, the sony 35 1.4 gm, the 85 1.8, my dji mini 4 pro, rs3 mini, my tripod and my macbook pro 14" there are a lot of things! 😲Im trying to figure it out how can I organize my time by having my own textile business, been a part time youtuber and study english as my second language! Im going crazy! 🤯
Sony 6700 Insta 360 x3 DJI mini 4 pro DJI rs mini 3 The gimbal storage would be perfect. Living in Gothenburg Sweden it rains 60% of the year so commuting to work or shoots and not having to have the gimbal in the side pocket and worry about it getting wet is a killer feature 😅
I’m calling it “pew” tech from now on. Pew! 🔫 pew! 🔫 Currently rocking an a6700 with the sigma 18-50 mm combo 😊 Also, the “handle” in the middle of the back of the backpack is for mounting the bag onto the handle of your carryon/check-in luggage. This makes it easy to bring without killing your back.
i have 2 canon R6, dji mini 4 pro, insta360 x4, 24-70, 70-200 and flashes. and i the first PGYTECH onemo backpack and bought it on kick starter in 2019 and after years of abused i finally broke one of the zippers. It took me 5 years to break the first one. so right now i am recking an amazon one while i can buy it again.
I would use this backpack for professional work. Two cameras, 3 lenses and a flash, seems like it’ll all fit no problem. Then have the small sling bag to my drone!
I literally just started looking for a camera bag now that I need to carry more than a couple lenses and a body since i just started studying photography & cinematography at uni, this would be perfect!
Rocking a cheap one from Amazon that never stays in the place you put it. Just started out photography. Since having a drone, a R6II with a 24-105F4 and a 70-200F4 it has no more space for my two primes. I would love to upgrade.
Thank you for the video. I was surprised you called out the 'copycat" brand It's quite courageous to do nowadays on a social media platform... but I also feel it is also reflective of your integrity. Anywho, my young family and I will be coming across from Australia to Canada next month for a short 'bucket list' holiday. I'd love to finally replace my very heavy and old camera bag with one you might gift... if I'm lucky enough to be selected.

I feel like it was only yesterday when a practical bag was ugly and a beautiful bag was impractical. And look at this now. The best timeline for sure :D
Having the built in sling would be mint. I currently have a knock off wandrd bag with a sling jammed into the roll top 😂 I shoot Fujifilm with the brick of a 16-55mm lens, the 35mm and the 100-44 when I have the space. I also carry a DJI Drone, 2 flashes and have managed to roll up and jam a soft box into the top with the light stand strapped to the outside of the bag which works but is not functional hahaha
Fuji X-T4 w/grip, 18-135, 10-24, 50-140, Godox TT685, peak design aluminum tripod in a LowePro Photo Trekker I received well used as a gift (donation) in 2008.
current gear Sony A6400 with a Sigma 50mm prime and Sony 30mm primed lens. I also back a DJI pocket 2 for video and BTS stuff. I bring all the lens filters for each corresponding lens and filters for pocket 2. I bring at least 1 tripod with me or smaller clamp tripods you can get from a small rig. I bring a portable charger, extra batteries, and lens cleaning stuff, too. oh, and some business cards, too, you never know. I'd love to win because I've never won a contest before, and it would be cool too if not, though this video was still super informative thank you, homie
Raw dogging it in a Alpaka Gear sling but if I am bringing a Full set up, lowepro creator box camera cube so I can throw it into one of my mystery ranch backpacks. 🤙
My setup includes a Sony a6400, 24-70, 30mm, dji mini 2, zhiyun crane 2, and MacBook Pro. This bag would be perfect for my setup because it will all fit perfectly.
Right now my camera bag is one of those small canon bags not sure the name of it but the gear i’m using is a canon rebel t6 with an 18-55mm, i really wanted the sony a7iii and out of the wanting it so badly i got scammed on offerup for it, they took 260 from my saved up birthday money and since i didn’t have enough money to buy any other camera i had to get the rebel t6, don’t get me wrong i’m grateful for even owning a camera. I’m 14 years old and just had a wanting of cameras and i’ve really gotten into it, im shooting sport photos and scenery. I personally believe than a quality camera bag like the one your giving away will boost my ability to be more efficient with the amount of photos i’m taking because with the bag i have right now it’s a bit hard to take it everywhere. please see reasoning with me thank you for the opportunity!
My camera gear includes: Lumix S5 with a 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens (I got inspired to get the Lumix S5 after watching one of your videos from two years ago, titled "3 Months w/ LUMIX - Am I Switching Back to Sony?"). I bought it recently, about 3 weeks ago. Other gear includes my Canon M50, Canon T4i, 50mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8, 70-300mm f/4-5.6, DJI Ronin SC, Joilcan Tripod, Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop with a 4060 GPU, Caden camera backpack, and a ton of little accessories (such as batteries and SD cards). I’m 16 years old, and I shoot weddings with my brother, as well as create content for my personal Instagram page. Right now, I can’t afford a new backpack, and my current one isn’t very comfortable or spacious enough to keep everything organized. A new camera backpack would make a huge difference in helping me stay organized and comfortable during shoots, especially when I’m on the go.
Oh man, I definitely need it. Im working with 2 Sony cameras (a7iv and Zve1), so many lenses I can barely remember them all (primes and zooms) and also some Fuji gear. Yes, I fell into the Fuji rabbit hole too 😅. Not only with the x100vi but also the XT5. Add flashes, filters, batteries… Im way in over my head. A little help?
Drop a comment below for a chance to win the PGYTech Camera Bag - my treat! Also what camera bag are you rocking right now?
I literally just started looking for a camera bag now that I need to carry more than a couple lenses and a body since i just started studying photography & cinematography at uni, this would be perfect!
All you can do is wait for the perfect bag to ever be released right, thanks for the vid!
The wandrd prvke Aegean blue. Love that thing
Peakdesign V2 for everyday and Shimoda Explore 35L for photography excursions
Right and even IF the perfect camera bag DID exist, it wouldn't be perfect since our needs / workload / gear etc. change all the damn time!
hahah!
Currently rocking a Lowepro that's too large for "everyday" use but it allows me to carry all of the lenses, gimbal, can strap on tripod of even skis + poles!
"The perfect camera bag doesn't exist"
SO TRUE!
I´m using the Bevis Gear camera back for a couple of years now... very small company, bag was brought to life through a kickstarter project... its not the biggest bag, but its unique in the way you can access your gear. You never have to put the bag on the dirty ground again, i love it
My gear:
- a Sony zv e-10 with the kit lens and the Sony 10-18mm ultra wide lens
- a GoPro Hero 8 with several extension poles
- a DJI mavic Air 2 drone
- an insta360 X4 with extension poles
- the DJI Mic 2
- the Hohem isteady MT2 gimbal
- a tripod
- a NorthFace 32l duffelbag that I'm supposed to be using as a camera gear bag.
Well this will be my first time travelling with all this gear and I believe the bag won't hold that well. I'm looking into getting your favourite bag soon too. I'll let you know once I have. Thanks for the video!!!
I have the same issue! I’ve been through a bunch of camera bags. Right now, I have a Pelican case, a couple of Wandrd backpacks, and a Peak Design. The gear I’m rocking is Nikon Z8, 70-200, 200-500, 14-30, SmallRig cage, SmallRig fluid head tripod and a bunch of smaller accessories.
Just getting started with photography and loving every moment of it! My passion for creating drone videos led me to pick up an AZIV camera and a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens to pair with my DJI Air 2S. Exploring my small town on walks has been such an adventure, finding unique things to capture along the way. Right now, I’m using a budget camera bag from Amazon, but I’d love to upgrade to something that can hold all my gear, including my drone, in one place for easier adventures!
Hi Chris!
I'm a huge fan of your work and always learn so much from your videos. My current gear includes a Sony Alpha 6400 with a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 lens, a Zoom tripod, a DJI Mini 3 Pro RC, a DJI OM 6, a K&F Concept CPL filter, a Freewell ND filter, and sennheiser mKE 200 Mic.
While I'm passionate about capturing moments, my current backpack is a repurposed school bag, making it difficult to safely and efficiently carry and organize all my gear. It often leads to frustration and missed opportunities due to slow setup times and the risk of damage.
I believe a dedicated camera backpack would significantly improve my workflow and creativity. It would allow me to transport my gear more securely and efficiently, enabling me to capture those fleeting moments with ease.
Thank you for this incredible opportunity!
What I still love about the 25L is the ability to swap the cube system in and out. I do a lot of different gigs from headshots with flash setups to rocket remote photography, so being able to quickly and seamlessly swap equipment and not worry that something is being missed is huge for me. And for every day, I'm also now in the 18L camp. Carries my R6, 24-70, 100-400 and my headphones with some other accessories. Much more comfortable and easier to store at the office.
I love how the PGYTECH OneMo 2 positions itself as a gimbal user. Now, everything can fit in one bag. I need it as a hybrid shooter with two cameras and four lenses.
Awesome comparison! I am currently using a small ONN camera bag for my Sony A6400 and A6500. I have only done video for a couple of weddings and am really liking the idea of landscape photography. My current bag doesn’t quite have the room that I would like to have and this PGYTech bag would be AWESOME!!! Keep up the awesome work!
I'm currently using the F-Stop Ajna for all my gear, including the Sony ZV-E1 as my main video camera, the DJI Mavic 3 and at least one FPV drone! What I am missing now is some space to also transport my DJI RS gimbal, which did not find any space so far and is therefore collecting dust in my office. That's why the PGYTech OneMo would be perfect!
Before watching this video, I've ordered myself the K+F Sling bag which seems to be incredible in terms of value for money... excited to test it!
I aspire to own this bag as I continue using my trusty DSLR setup, choosing to prioritize essential expenses over upgrading my gear. My dependable companions in photography are the Canon 5D Mark III and 6D Mark I, equipped with a 16-35mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.2 lenses. This bag would provide the added security my equipment deserves and greatly improve the comfort and convenience of carrying my gear during shoot.
Best camera bag review/overview video that ive seen in a long long time - love this
PGYTech have some serious lineups of bags. Recently brought K&F 10L Sling bag, loving it !
Been looking for a bag recently, came at the perfect time! Thanks Chris.
Been looking for hiking backpacks mainly as they are more comfy with heavier loads and finding one with a panel access is hard.
Great review again!
Currently using an ancient Ogio Airport bag, its large, heavy and i need something new and easy to bring everywhere!
Pack it full of 2 Canon EOS Rs, and RF glass, 15-35, 24-105, 70-200, a few flashes, Go Pros, gimbal and other small accessories.
A new pack would change my ability to haul gear with me to remote sites as the airporter is more like the hard case on wheels.
I'm a total rookie here! in the process of buying my first camera.I fly a DJI mini II. And I don't necessarily think I "deserve"
your bag but it would definitely help me as I set out to learn photography. ✌🏻
My setup is the Canon R6 Mk2, R7, RF Zoom trifecta of lenses, DJI RS2, DJI Mavic 3, DJI Mic 2, Maven magnetic filters, Peter Lingren Battery Tri-charge, and a bunch of random accessories haha. I have the OneMo Lite but it is way too restrictive for my gimbal and bigger drone, borderline too small so the OneMo 2 might be the perfect upgrade for a more serious bag to hold everything! Best of luck to whoever wins!
Hey Chris, for me as someone who also does time lapsing and who needs extra tripods, sliders, and motion control systems that need to fit into one bag, I haven't found the perfect backpack for that case yet. Maybe your favorite one is the one.
I have about 15 camera bags but use them more for storage. I tend to pack for the purpose and kit. That definitely reinforces for “the perfect camera bag doesn’t exist” statement. It’s different for my full frame kit than my M43 one, and different for video or stills.
Thanks for doing the contest!
I have a Canon 5D III as a primary photo camera and a Canon M6 II as a compact travel slash video camera that I can adapt my EF lenses on to. I still use the holy trinity of lenses in EF mount. Once I can afford it, I'll upgrade to a better mirrorless setup. I have a gimbal too, but barely use it now as it's awkward to carry around.
I use a generic amazon camera bag as I haven't found the perfect bag yet, but the PM Nomatic and PGYTech bag seem to be pretty close, and I love how they made a place to store the gimbal!
Recently upgraded to a6700 used from using a6400 for 5 years to get into filmmaking. For lens, I got a Sigma 18-50 recently for an all-around lens for videos/photo, and still rocking a Tamron 18-300 for photos and few sigma prime lenses. Hoping to upgrade from my generic 11L camera bag from amazon for a much better camera bag. This will help me save a ton of money. Wishing us luck to all participants!
My entire set up: Fuji x100vi, Fuji xt4, insta360, 70-200fuji, GoPro. iPhone. Currently rocking an ONA bag which is beautiful and I love but it doesn't carry everything when I need it. Would love the PGYTech to expand my capability to carry everything.
I have a Shimoda Action x30. wich is amazing for travel because you kind of have a dry bag ontop where you can fit tons of extra stuff like clothes or any other things besides camera gear which makes it amazing for camping trips. Im rocking a lumix s5 with a sigma 24-70mm and I would love the 🔫-tech oneMo 2 so i have some great space for my gimbal! 😁
When I first "got into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a kislux . I wasn't trying to show off, brag, or pass it off as genuine, I just wanted to see if it fit my requirements and how it would sit with me before I spent money on the real thing (without the SA staring at you). Turns out, it didn't fit me. I saved a ton of money and time on returns. It made me very happy. It fit me perfectly.
Chris I have literally been checking reviews for the PGYTech for the past month 😭
My bag is starting to fall apart and I’m filling it up with EVERYTHING I can when I travel: R6, 15-35, 70-200, Fuji X100V, DJI Mini3 Pro, extra batteries, filters, DJI Mic Mini, Action cams, waterproof case and other bells and whistles!
Incredibile that you are doing a giveaway of it right now!!
I am about to go through an extensive trip to Iceland soon and I would love to have a quality bag that will accompany me as I go on probably the biggest journey of my past 8 years, and hopefully also help me as I transition my career from 9-5 to professional photographer!
That PGY tech back is an absolute unit. I've downsized my gear a bit but still rocking a Canon R5, RF 14-35 f/4 L, RF 24-70 f/2.8 L, EF 70-200 f/2.8 L, and Rokinon RF 85mm f/1.4. Then I also have a few different filters, a Røde videomic NTG, Llano dual battery charger, and the goat aka a rocket blower 😂
I absolutely love the PGYTech OneMO, been using mine for 3-4 years now and can’t imagine changing it out
The one mo2 is such a great bag. I use it for travel and it’s just so so perfect.
Great vid. Im rocking the Everday Bag and a Lowepro..
The timing of this is mad, been looking at the OneMo2 25L😂Great video! And that olive green is so nice
My current bag is a piece of poo, I got it for like ￡55 it's an old Lowepro something (think it's discontinued). I've ended up scratching most of my stuff as it's a floppy bag.
I have the XH2-S, 10-24, 16-55mm, DJI RS4, DJI Mini 4 Pro, 16" M1 Max, then all the little things like SSDs, filters, batteries/chargers and whatnot. My tripod is usually just swapped for the gimbal as I've never really needed both on the same shoot so far.
Rocking peak design sling, but almost looking for my next favorite!
No idea if you’re still going - but I just rocked a Lowepro messenger bag that really killed it on my vacation, great strap, held what I needed and was low profile.
So fabulous! I hope you bought that little Dior bag. It is so cute. You are right. The kislux is handbag heaven.
I LOVE my Onemo 2. Two years and I don’t feel the need to switch.
They have my vote.
Sony shooter here! 👋 Used the Incase ICON for years. Fits lots of gear but definitely guilty of the “tipping” problem. 😆 Great review, thanks for the info!
Currently using a Sony a7c and a7r3, usually with the 35mm f1.8 on one and the 85mm f1.8 on the other, plus one or two flashes, transmitter, the dji rsc2 gimbal when I'm shooting video, a Coiro leather dual harness for when I'm shooting events, a tech pouch full of memory cards, cords, and spare batteries, and my 16inch Macbook pro. It's a struggle to pack all that into my current camera bag (a Hakuba something or other) when I need everything, and my current one just isn't comfy when carrying a lot of gear. Been looking to upgrade for a while, especially since these days I need to travel for events, but hadn't figured out what camera bag would work for me. That PGYTech bag actually looks really nice for my needs.
Been waiting for the perfect camera bag that isn't insanely bulky loaded. Either look like a hiker or tactical. Something lowkey is always nice.
Right now I am just getting started into photography following my passion for making drone videos I purchased an A7IV and a sigma 24-70 f 2.8 to compliment my DJI Air 2s! I have loved the adventure of going on walks in my small town and trying to find interesting things to photograph. Right now I’m using a cheap amazon bag but a new camera bag would make it easier to haul my stuff around with me including my drone in the same place!
Sounds like you're really embracing the journey! The DJI Air 2S is awesome...what's even more awesome is that you won the giveaway, Connor!
Send my team an email at info@thechrishau.com so we can hook you up!
@ this is so awesome thank you so much 😁😁😁😁
Currently, I have Sony ZV-E10 ll with Tamron 17-70 f/2.8. This is a perfect setup for me. I was saving to invest in some camera bag & the might help me a lot. Cheers!
I’m considering the PGYTech. I think your review is what I needed to hear.
Great vid there is no perfect bag is definitely something I’m learning as I watch these review vids.
I’m a lumix user - S5ii with an 50mm,85 and the Kit lens and I have a DJI pocket 3.
Looking to start getting into videography
My current setup is a sony a5100 from fb marketplace with a sigma 18-50 f2.8, as well as a bunch of vintage lenses. I also own a Canon 50D along with a canon 17-40 f4, 70-200 f4 IS USM L, as well as a 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS USM L. I shoot mainly cars and motorsports, as well as landscape and portraits, and will be going on a trip to Japan in February. I feel like the bag would be perfect as both an everyday shooting bag as well as for travel :)
I learned early there’s no one bag to rule them all, but I can find bags to match situations. I have a walking around daily backpack for when I wanna have a ton of stuff or if I plan on shopping and want extra room. I have a sling for my mirrorless and a smaller one for my everyday camera. I have a travel bag that fits camera gear and I may have a bag problem
Currently im trying to keep things small and compact useing A6400, sony 16-55mm and sony 70-350mm. Some wide lens and probably drone is on the way so that bag would be the perfect size for that setup!
A great bag wouls be awesome! The search never ends for this paramedic for "THE" bag 🤣 I'm sporting a Canon 5DMKIV with a 100mm f2.8 macro, 16-35 f2.8, 24-70 f4 and a 70-100 f2.8. Sometimes there's a dji air 2 stashed in as well. This all gets crammed into my lowepro bag. You should totally ship one of those babies to me because, well, that would be awesome 🤠 also, a more slim bag for shooting around town or hiking would be genius and the handles on the pew pew bag! Chef's kiss!
Rocking a Sony a6700 and a FX30 depending on application. Sigma 18-50, 23, and a Tamron 70-180, with a couple others in the mix when needed. Ronin gimbal, batteries, filters, monitor, assortment of cables. Don’t know if I deserve a bag, but it would certainly be nice for organization and as a quick get up and go bag for shooting. Great videos
Hey hey! Great video. Been thinking about the Nomatic bags for awhile
Love my pgytech bag as well. I have the first one and travel between Florida and Alaska often worth my camera, lenses, and drone.
I do need a better everyday carry camera bag, currently rocking the PMK Nomatic 35l, thanks for the video bro
Sick!!! 🙌🙌 I use a nomatic bag right now!
There are some pretty killer bags I've used in the past that have gotten damn close to being perfect. Two in particular have been pretty much spot on. The Vinta Supply Co (RIP) Backpack, and it's clone from Langly, the Alpha Compact. Up until I upgraded to the Z8, it fit everything I could want, and didn't scream "expensive camera inside".
That said, my current kit: Z8, Z 14-24, Z 24-70, Z 70-200.
Love love my PGY tech onemo lite ive been using the past couple years and holds a ton of stuff for its size. Holding up great and gets on a plane as a free personal item.
Cant ask for more.
I’m a fan too!
Nikon supporter here...I have the kitchen sick that also needs to fit into my bag...along with homeschool junk and more camera gear..oh and possibly Social Work job tools as well!
Manifesting a camera bag for this Christmas ❤️
I am currently using a vanguard backpack but it is truly on its last strings if you will, hopefully I get a new one soon! I used a Canon R6 with a Tamron 150-600mm, along with a RF 14-35mm, a nifty fifty, and a 100 mm macro. I love nature and wildlife as well as landscape, I'm a student filmmaker just starting in university studying film and television and really need a new bag because they are so expensive.
I currently run a Canon EOS-R, 24-105 w/EF-RF adapter, 17-40 w/EF-RF adapter, and a 70-200 w/EF-RF adapter in a Lowepro Drone backpack, cause it was a hand me down and amazingly it fits in that bag, but not much after that, so i stuff the top compartments with my RODE mic, charger, extra batteries, and filter pouch, thats pretty much it. I like the backpack cause since it has the harder reinforced outer lid it protects my gear, but its just too small to carry anything else, so i have to carry another sling if i want to lug around extra stuff. I have eyed the PGYTECH OneMo and have considered it, but again its been a consideration based upon funds at the moment.
Great videos and thank you for all your advice and common sense to what is needed vs wanted in a world where there is NO PERFECT BAG!!
I use the Wandrd 6L Sling. I have a Osmo Action 4, Osmo Pocket 3 and a HoverAirX1 selfie drone. With all the leads and batteries/packs im finding it a little tight now. So the larger bag your giving away would really come in handy. First time I've seen that pack and i too love the logo. I really like Wandrd stuff and was looking to upgrade but if i won this then obviously no need. Great review by the way.👍
PGY Tech One Mo Sling is the best camera sling bag i ever have! So comfortable & lots of features just like the backpack.
first of all thanks for your efforts im using brandless camera bag which is not safe 😅😂, my equipments is
sony a7iii
sony fx30
tamron 28 75
sigma 16 f1.4
dji mic
weebill s gimbal
helioss 58m f2
dji action 5 pro
and macbook pro 14 inch
Currently rocking a 6 year old mid size Manfrotto bag. It was purchased because it does not look like a camera bag as much. Definitely in need of something bigger when I travel though. Leaving some gear behind hurts sometimes.
I currently believe that in terms of materials, details, construction, and quality/price, Pgytech wins!!
Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for kislux , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, itâs your choice. No judgement from me
My Every day in a two year old $65 bag that is falling apart: Canon R8 with an adaptor for old lenses (used to show in 80D)
Nifty 50
24mm
DJI Mavic mini 3
Galaxy tablet s8
remarkable tablet
a smaller bag with lotions, Chapstick, necessary chargers, and gum.
Lense cleaning accessories
The bag is just getting old and the Faux leather looks extremely dingy. I would love to show up to sets looking a little more put together and it would be nice for some extra space. Love the review content dude!
I just bought my first camera and I am still a student and love your videos. I still need a Camera bag.
I would like the Bag really. And I love your vids so much❤❤❤❤
@ Hi Chris
I acctualy dont know how to send you a Message and I would be really happy when someone else would win the bag because I got an early christmas present with the wandrd rouge sling bag 6l. Sorry for the bad news. Merry christmas❤️❤️
Great video! Im using the Peak Design 30L bag rn. Im really trying to get into vlogging and youtube, so I figured, lemme carry around my Sony with 2 lenses in there all the time and at least it'll be with me to shoot with. But the PD bag shelf system is really betraying me rn. It normally is fine, but lately, I can't get the things I need to fit anymore and its really annoying!
I really wanna switch everything to nanuk and just before your video I spent the last 2 hours or so researching the 935 and the 963 with all the Cubik inserts lol
Dig the vid. I’m still using an old army green in case bag from 6 years ago. Works, but not the most elegant 😅 An upgrade would be most appreciated! 🙌😁
So agree about not having the perfect bag, that’s why you need more than one :) I currently only have one, a think tank streetwalker. I would trust your opinion about bags, I’m sure you’ve tried a used a tin of them!
The perfect camera bag doesn't exist honestly maybe that's s big chance to get pgytech 😂😂.
I used canon eos r6 mark ii rf24-105 , rf 50mm rf 16mm rf 14-35mm. Gimble mostly and few small panel lights and tripod sometime
Just get to the end of your video! I😁 never try any of those bags you mentioned before, I was always with Wandrd, I used a 2017 wandrd prvke 21lts but its small for the gear that i want to carry with me like my sony a7c, my sony 16-25 mm f2.8, the sony 35 1.4 gm, the 85 1.8, my dji mini 4 pro, rs3 mini, my tripod and my macbook pro 14" there are a lot of things! 😲Im trying to figure it out how can I organize my time by having my own textile business, been a part time youtuber and study english as my second language! Im going crazy! 🤯
So awesome 🔥🔥🔥. I’m rocking an old tiny canon bag and need something bigger and better!
Currently using the PM 25L. 🎒👌🏼
Sony 6700
Insta 360 x3
DJI mini 4 pro
DJI rs mini 3
The gimbal storage would be perfect. Living in Gothenburg Sweden it rains 60% of the year so commuting to work or shoots and not having to have the gimbal in the side pocket and worry about it getting wet is a killer feature 😅
I’m calling it “pew” tech from now on. Pew! 🔫 pew! 🔫
Currently rocking an a6700 with the sigma 18-50 mm combo 😊
Also, the “handle” in the middle of the back of the backpack is for mounting the bag onto the handle of your carryon/check-in luggage. This makes it easy to bring without killing your back.
Huckberry looks cool AF as a brand. Probably one of the few times where I was happy to see an camera-unrelated sponsorship
For real. That brand is amazing. Half my wardrobe now is huckberry
i have 2 canon R6, dji mini 4 pro, insta360 x4, 24-70, 70-200 and flashes. and i the first PGYTECH onemo backpack and bought it on kick starter in 2019 and after years of abused i finally broke one of the zippers. It took me 5 years to break the first one. so right now i am recking an amazon one while i can buy it again.
I have 2 Nanuk 935’s, they are amazing to protect my gear.
I love competition in terms of products. Free game!
I bought a kislux red mini Chanel bag, wish I had more Chanel bags, but considering my budget it's cool to have one bag
sheeesh Pgytech 🔝
I would use this backpack for professional work. Two cameras, 3 lenses and a flash, seems like it’ll all fit no problem. Then have the small sling bag to my drone!
I literally just started looking for a camera bag now that I need to carry more than a couple lenses and a body since i just started studying photography & cinematography at uni, this would be perfect!
I have the PGY Tech bag and I absolutely love it!
Rocking a cheap one from Amazon that never stays in the place you put it. Just started out photography. Since having a drone, a R6II with a 24-105F4 and a 70-200F4 it has no more space for my two primes. I would love to upgrade.
Thank you for the video. I was surprised you called out the 'copycat" brand It's quite courageous to do nowadays on a social media platform... but I also feel it is also reflective of your integrity.
Anywho, my young family and I will be coming across from Australia to Canada next month for a short 'bucket list' holiday. I'd love to finally replace my very heavy and old camera bag with one you might gift... if I'm lucky enough to be selected.
I feel like it was only yesterday when a practical bag was ugly and a beautiful bag was impractical. And look at this now. The best timeline for sure :D
Currently I am currently rocking the PGY Onemo Lite, but Onemo 2 would be a super nice upgrade
Having the built in sling would be mint. I currently have a knock off wandrd bag with a sling jammed into the roll top 😂 I shoot Fujifilm with the brick of a 16-55mm lens, the 35mm and the 100-44 when I have the space. I also carry a DJI Drone, 2 flashes and have managed to roll up and jam a soft box into the top with the light stand strapped to the outside of the bag which works but is not functional hahaha
I'm using a Amazon basics bag right now haha have been for the last 6-7 years 🧐 also love the channel haha
Fuji X-T4 w/grip, 18-135, 10-24, 50-140, Godox TT685, peak design aluminum tripod in a LowePro Photo Trekker I received well used as a gift (donation) in 2008.
My newest setup is the fx3 with the new 28-70 GM! Had to sell pretty much everything to afford that lens so winning this bag would be amazing 😅
I’m using the phytech one mo light.. but the wheeled one is looking “wheelie” attractive!
current gear Sony A6400 with a Sigma 50mm prime and Sony 30mm primed lens. I also back a DJI pocket 2 for video and BTS stuff. I bring all the lens filters for each corresponding lens and filters for pocket 2. I bring at least 1 tripod with me or smaller clamp tripods you can get from a small rig. I bring a portable charger, extra batteries, and lens cleaning stuff, too. oh, and some business cards, too, you never know. I'd love to win because I've never won a contest before, and it would be cool too if not, though this video was still super informative thank you, homie
Raw dogging it in a Alpaka Gear sling but if I am bringing a Full set up, lowepro creator box camera cube so I can throw it into one of my mystery ranch backpacks. 🤙
I’m using the standard Sony LCS BBK sling back 😊
My setup includes a Sony a6400, 24-70, 30mm, dji mini 2, zhiyun crane 2, and MacBook Pro. This bag would be perfect for my setup because it will all fit perfectly.
Right now my camera bag is one of those small canon bags not sure the name of it but the gear i’m using is a canon rebel t6 with an 18-55mm, i really wanted the sony a7iii and out of the wanting it so badly i got scammed on offerup for it, they took 260 from my saved up birthday money and since i didn’t have enough money to buy any other camera i had to get the rebel t6, don’t get me wrong i’m grateful for even owning a camera. I’m 14 years old and just had a wanting of cameras and i’ve really gotten into it, im shooting sport photos and scenery. I personally believe than a quality camera bag like the one your giving away will boost my ability to be more efficient with the amount of photos i’m taking because with the bag i have right now it’s a bit hard to take it everywhere. please see reasoning with me thank you for the opportunity!
My camera gear includes: Lumix S5 with a 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens (I got inspired to get the Lumix S5 after watching one of your videos from two years ago, titled "3 Months w/ LUMIX - Am I Switching Back to Sony?"). I bought it recently, about 3 weeks ago. Other gear includes my Canon M50, Canon T4i, 50mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8, 70-300mm f/4-5.6, DJI Ronin SC, Joilcan Tripod, Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop with a 4060 GPU, Caden camera backpack, and a ton of little accessories (such as batteries and SD cards). I’m 16 years old, and I shoot weddings with my brother, as well as create content for my personal Instagram page. Right now, I can’t afford a new backpack, and my current one isn’t very comfortable or spacious enough to keep everything organized. A new camera backpack would make a huge difference in helping me stay organized and comfortable during shoots, especially when I’m on the go.
Oh man, I definitely need it. Im working with 2 Sony cameras (a7iv and Zve1), so many lenses I can barely remember them all (primes and zooms) and also some Fuji gear. Yes, I fell into the Fuji rabbit hole too 😅. Not only with the x100vi but also the XT5. Add flashes, filters, batteries… Im way in over my head. A little help?
