The new standard size has a larger central open area since they removed the divider that you had between the memobottle and your powerbank. Makes the space more flexible and compressible.
I first bought the Mini Tech Bag - Did not find the "perfect" place to stand up my iPhone Pro upright & my iPad mini fit a little to snug I returned it & got the Tech Bag (mid size). I have been using it for 3 months while traveling in my Van Conversion in the Southwest. Now I have the "right" place for the most used stuff ( phone - wallet - keys - AirPods - lip balm). Every other EDC (and there is a sh*t ton that actually fits) They all found their place -- eventually! You get used to reaching for the side grab handle or at times just man handling it by the top. I exclusively carry it a sling bag (on hikes, shoping & bicycle rides) and have no interest in the accessory strap to stablize it. Since you access the bag as a sling while you are wearing it from the back a Pro Tip would be to always access the bag from the back - that way with muscle & brain memory it facilities locating what's in the bag - For me "often' without having to even look - For Real Son... The ability to stand it up is so nice as the mini did not stand up on its own & that was a PITA. So - daily use for 3 months I am very happy with the bag. The bigger one would only oblige me to add more stuff in it. - so I'll stick with this ohe. BTW fully loaded the bag weighs 5 lbs 9 oz & appears to manage it just fine!!!
I did initially put the heroclip on the strap but it tends to slide around too much when taking it on and off. The white water bottle I really regret buying yes lol, I'm going to make a 'buyers remorse' video about it shortly, but the vapur bottle I love, I always try to carry water with me because its important to keep hydrated and its not always easy or cheap to get water when out
The mini is definitely for smaller items (maybe a wallet, phone and some other small edc items. I don't think you could really even fit a book in the Max one unless it was a small novel. But occasionally I do use multiple of them at the same time, as packing cubes inside of a backpack, but I wouldn't typically wear multiple as a sling at the same time lol

I think I'd throw the Hero Clip on the straps, and certainly ditch the water bottle; I'll be very interested in learning why you like it.

Nice video!
I normally take a BT mouse a charger with cable and sometimes some overear headphones. Do you think that would work on the tech case mini?
The mini isn't big enough to fit over the ear headphones, the max is probably the best fit to fit headphones+anything else
@@PackingLess okay thanks a lot!
Thanks for the comparison! Do you know if the inner zippered compartment in the tech case mini will fit a passport?
It just fits my passport, however the lip of the zip needs to be put over it to zip it up but it does fit, only just
The inner zippered pocket on the mini does (just barely) fit a passport
Hello, do you think a mirrorless camera like the sony zv e10 with kit lens would fit in the max version and still have some room for other stuff?
I think it might but only without a lens attached
Great video! Is the stainless memobottle insulated?
Thanks, no its not insulated unfortunately so its just a heavy metal bottle, I'll be making a video on it shortly
@@PackingLess thanks for the reply! Looking forward to the video, but I'll hold out for an insulated version
Great video by demonstrating the types of items that can fit etc. What is the name of the packable backpack?
Thank you, that backpack is the Quecha Arpenaz 10L packable from Decathlon
@@PackingLess thank you
I bought the mini by accident can't even fit a book in it.. do you ever have multiuse or really use more than one at a time ?😊

Guys, get a MAX version if you're carrying bulky stuff, standard and mini for a slim packing
what is the size of water bottle A6?
Thats the stainless version, its 181 x 105 x 37 mm (7.1 x 4.1 x 1.5 in), 320 g / 0.7 lb, 16 oz / 500 ml
Is it possible to have a clasp that is not magnetic?
They do offer a 'fidlock v buckle' version of their pro strap which fits all the bags
Nice comparison! Can these tech cases be worn on waist?
The sling is adjustable and flat so I would say yes but I'm not sure how stable it would be if it was packed heavy
@@PackingLess yes, I guess so. My stuffs will mainly be wallet & a flip phone in general. I hope it won't be big issue
Knicks colors 🙌🏾
Mini blue is RX 30 blue ocean ?
Yes thats correct
Over time that zipper will fail loading it that full all the time
