    Love the choice for this review. Awesome hearing from him. I don't even use a camera but still watched it and found it fun to watch.

    I’ve got one medium cube and two small cubes. Great thing about this is each cube I have is packed out for different set ups. One small cube I use for an everyday carry street photography set up. Small Sony a6000 with a 28 or 50 lens. My other small is for my 35mm film set up. Camera and some extra film. My medium is for my main set up which has room for my main digital and my main 35mm.
    So, depending on my mood that day and what I feel like shooting, I can just rotate my cubes in and out and store them in my cabinet already packed out.
    Terrific system and I feel it’s worth the money.

    I feel the same about side swinging, it just doesn’t work for me. If I want to access a bag while still standing and not taking it off I go with a shoulder bag or sling. Backpacks I put on then take off, it’s for bigger loads. The camera backpack that works for the best for me is the Tenba DNA 16. No other backpack has its style of camera compartment access, it’s tarpaulin too and self standing.

      We’ll have to check out the Tenba - thanks for the recommendation

      @@mrtavetski1859 Yeah I like I can set it down standing and just get to the camera. Its similar to a wandrd prvke in looks but it doesn't need to lay down. The company that owns Tenba also owns Shimoda, which is a more kickstarter marketed brand. They make nice stuff, thats usually for sale in photo/camera stores. Their product videos are actually really good, a lot of these photo brands videos' will trot a designer out there and they talk for way too long about a design or its all artsy video with music that doesn't explain the bags at all. I like their style.

    Great review Aaron! I agree that this is a very versatile and well engineered camera backpack! I also like the McKinnon 35L for my longest lens, a Nikkor Z 180-600. Thanks!

    Good vid bro, so the thought process with the cubes is so you can have your gear out at home, or if you want to pack travel supplies in one you can pull it out at your hotel and leave it while you’re out and about

    I own this bag and sell it after several month of use.
    the main problem with this bag is the false bottom for laptop section.
    it didn't over bouncy protection at all.
    the bump sound of the laptop will be quite loud if you drop it like casual.
    the other thing the side pocket it's good with magnetic but didn't hug the item and you will need to buy another strap.
    I would rather use peak design and it's much better in my opinion in alll usecase.
    yes it can stand by it's own but still, no proper false bottom for laptop is a big no.
    for the padding for me not comfortable enough and too much padding and the surface touch our body not wide enough.
    If you wear a watch it's very easy stuck while you slide in.
    almost everytime my watch stuck when slide my hand into it.

    I was an original backer of the Kickstarter campaign. IMO, this is the ultimate camera backpack. I've traveled the world with it, and have no intentions of switching camera bags in years to come. Its size, versatility, and features are just what I've been wanting from a camera bag for a long time. The only real con IMO is the jetpack look you mentioned. It's not really waterproof tho. It's water resistant, which is not the same. When I was in Kyoto, it kept raining, and my backpack was drenched, but my equipment was completely dry. That being said, with enough time and water, it can get to your equipment.

    • @Nomads.Nation
      @Nomads.Nation  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the distinction between waterproof and water resistant is very important

    As a outdoors photographer and backpack collector with a weak spot for nice and shiny premium stuff I really liked the bag after the first 2min 40s, but those waterbottle holder situations, lack of sideaccess and the zipperpole mess are all big turn offs :(
    Sticking with the PeakDesign Everyday ;)
    *edit: I should've watched the entire thing before commenting, the cons just kept coming lol
    No huge flaws, but so so many "eh its not ideal"-points, a $400 bag should have none of those
    **edit2: regarding sideaccess, I rarely use it with the bag swung onto my side, though that works for me too. The main thing IMO is that, I can put the bag down and on its side, maybe on a bench, and get stuff out - a lot more space efficient than a big back flap. For those you need to lay out the bag much more.

      Yea, I personally found side access in the peak design to feel very sketch, tho I never thought of putting it on a bench. When I'm out on shoots I 100% need the full layout too. Those rocket flaps on the other hand hahhah 😂

    I cannot possibly see how this will allow my Sony A7RV with a 70-200mm lens will fit, NOT TO MENTION, if I also had a Sony 1.4X teleconverter. This back may seem to carry a lot, but more for medium to small cameras (or your beer and chips, as you say). Sorry, will not work for a telephoto user.
