I love my Evo-60 and the only thing I would change about it is the size of the RCI dividers - the short/medium ones were too small to accomodate the width of an average full frame lens so I had to combine two is a poor compromise. The new RCI's seem to have addressed the only major criticism I had. Now they just need to produce the XL in sufficient numbers so I can get my hands on one. It would be nice if NYA offered the dividers separately.
Is the new version with a removable waist belt only available for the Kickstarter? Estimated delivery on the kickstarter is November 2022, I'm moving abroad on the 30th November so would be worried about not receiving it in time.
This is your pack and you clearly like it a lot - fair enough if it works for you that is all that matters ... to you. However to be clear this is no more a hiking pack than F-Stop, Shimoda or Atlas. And at ca. US$500 it is ridiculously expensive for what it is (you can buy the very best hiking packs, with far more technology involved, for half that) but that is my personal issue with all camera bag manufacturers - they price their products for what photographers can afford (and let's face it US$500 is nothing compared to what we spend on cameras and lenses) rather than what they are worth. Maybe that's just common sense but it affronts my sense of fair play ! For serious hiking instant access to my camera equipment isn't an imperative, even camera packs have to be put down, so opening a standard hiking pack (top access, L or J back access) is actually just 30 secs longer at most, and as primarily a travel and landscape photographer those extra 30 secs have never been an issue. The Fjord 60C may be just fine for an overnighter but if we're talking serious hiking then, as per all other camera packs, it's a non-starter because the ICU/RCI just takes up far too much space and all other aspects of the bag are designed primarily for photography not hiking. For example I use the bags listed below, using the lightest ICU or lens cases I can find, and wrap other gear in a plastic bag and inside my spare clothes - they are well protected inside the bag and easily accessible via the L or J zip. The ICU/RCI is easily accessible from the back of the pack. Super stretchy pockets and large top lids such as those on the packs I've used all over Asia/Europe such as the Gregory Baltoro (J zip back access), Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre (L zip back access) or my current 60L pack the Gossamer Gear Mariposa (no L or J zip and no lid but under 1 kg with huge stretchy pockets) enable me to keep a camera, with even a large lens, in them. Pockets attached to the shoulder straps allow for access in seconds to another 2 lenses without even needing to access the pack interior. Pack weight 18 - 22 kgs with 2L water. So for serious hiking this bag is a non-starter I'm afraid, the lack of pack spine adjustments and front adjustment straps (yes, i saw the load lifters - that's not enough for serious hiking) plus I also don't particularly like strapping gear to the outside as you have done with your tent and sleeping bag (I would never keep my sleeping bag where yours was unless in an Event dry bag (or similar), your cinching in the video didn't close the opening and left it open to the elements (maybe that was just for this video) and rain will run down the bag onto and into the sleeping bag). Sorry Michael but to me it's just another in a long line of camera packs they market as camera/hiking packs but focus too strongly on camera gear at the expense of long distance hiking comfort. I strongly advise anyone who needs a hiking/camera pack to go for a high quality hiking pack (preferably with L or J zip access and large stretchy pockets) your comfort on long overnight or multiday hikes is more important than supposedly quick access or gear protection (4 x Nepal trips, many in China where I now live and Kyrgyzstan, Dolomites, Iceland etc and I've never ever had any damage to my camera or lenses utilising a hiking pack). Obviously YMMV. Now I'll go enjoy your photography based videos !
It's a great "Camera Backpack" for hiking and "I" like it better than the f-Stops - sure it's all personal opinion here ;-) hiking only Backpacks will always have an advantage over back-opening camera bags though and are better for hiking. If I were to do a one week trek through wilderness I would take my fjälraven, which is 80 Liter. But I also travel, do one day and two day hikes and for this the Fjord is my choice PS: I now use a dry sack for my sleeping bag ;-) as you say the original pouch was too small
Very useful comment, I appreciate hearing a different perspective and there is probably no right or wrong here. It will really depend on personal use and priorities. My current bag is a Lowepro flipside 40, it fits my camera gear well, is carry on compliment but is extremely limited as a day bag. I can just about fit a small water proof, bottle of water and spare batteries. I really like the look of the fjord but the price is very off-putting. From November I will be traveling, hiking and probably living in a van a lot of the time. I want a bag which will fit my DSLR 200-500mm Nikon lens and two smaller lenses, plus be useful for longer hikes (nothing extreme probably but you never know). The fjord does look like it ticks most boxes but if there are superior, cheaper hiking packs that are carry on compliant and expandable that would take an RCI, that may be a better way to go. I think I could cope with my camera gear being slightly less accessible.

I see everything on my calibrated display. On cell phones and displays with off calibration it might be too dark, because of the contrast. I'm sorry for that.. dude

Nice video buddy

Currently only Kickstarter as far as I know. But best directly contact NYA-EVO
@@mibreit-photo I will do. Thank you

Hi wie groß bist Du denn ich bin 184cm und bei vielen ist das Tragegestell zu kurz?
186cm. Man kann verschiedene Einstellungen machen. Für mich passt er perfekt. Hab noch ein Video zum Fjord wo ich das einstellsystem zeige.
@@mibreit-photo Danke Michael für die schnelle Antwort. Die dünneren Divider sind ausreichend für unserer Boliden?

Bis jetzt super
dude, is far too dark. We cant see the damn backpack.
