@@RohitNaik It's $500, that's an absolutley ludacrous asking price. That's 20% more than an Arc'teryx backpack. Camera backpacks are generally overpriced, but anyone who purchaises this bag over the Shimoda featured in this video, or F-Stop, ThinkTank, or Atlas frankly has more money than sense and spends too much time following TH-cam influencers. i'd be embarassed to carry that bag around.

So that is $695 before tax in Canada, the full bag with everything will be $675 USD so $893 CAD, say what you will but that is a lot for a bag.

@@deviny You sound like someone who is angry they don't have the money for an excellent camera/electronics bag.

It houses all of our gear beautifully, the zippers continue to perform easily, and now I've expanded it to include some heavy books. Did I mention how comfortable it is to wear with those heavily padded shoulder straps and detachachable waist belt? I've recently ordered the rain fly (more to keep the dirt and mud from Mexico's hugely puddled roads) and the battery case.

Also the fact that you think I can't afford a $500 bag when the equipment I have easily passes $15k lmao. No I just don't like getting fooled no matter how much money I have and here you are trying to bs others into wasting their money too just because you used a bag for only 2 months and is trying to convince yourself its the best when you've used nothing else. 💀
@@deviny You're wrong. I checked most of these bags out and they will NOT carry a 17 inch laptop AND a 13 inch Macbook. As I mentioned, this was the most needed feature for us! Also, some of these bags are very close to the PM Nomadic in price. Why are you so angry and jealous of Peter, anyway?
That’s what friends are for, of course you help the ones you care about. It’s normal it’s not a competition. If more people where like this crew more people would be doing big things.
It was literally the vid i watched before this one. He recommends the protac 450 and less than 1min in the next vid he tells us that he doesnt like it.....
Just a heads up, you are using the Peak Design 45L bag incorrectly. I personally own this bag and have used it for a few months now. The camera cubes can be fastened to the bag all along the sides which allows the cube door to be completely tucked under and out of sight. You can even see the fabric loops on the side in your video to which they can be fastened. You have it fastened to the bag at the base which is only for use if you don't want access to the side access door and want to turn the medium camera cube 45 degrees to give you some additional space in the top compartment. This is pretty misleading in your video. You also didn't mention that the top half of the bag can be compressed, slimming down the profile of the bag dramatically.
I’m using a Grey/Black North Face Instigator - it’s not a camera specific backpack but it works really well when you’re only using a single camera and lens but need to take waterproofs etc - really great, versatile backpack!
The peak design travel backpack is amazing ! You can really do everything the others do if you have the optional insert options ! Peter’s bag is very similar in the end.
Hi Matti I have the peak design 45L and the issue you were having with the camera cube flap can be avoided, if you tuck it under the cube and then clip the cube to the bag on the sides then there is no issue. Hope this helps others considering this bag
So all this backpack/bag talk got me thinking about something basic - the mechanics of when you're out shooting. Yes, sometimes we pack up a bag and travel from A to B, then unload it. But when you're out walking around shooting, how do all the little things work, partially with gear in the bag, but also things like lens changes, taking out then using then putting away a tripod, etc. I'd love a BTS video not of shooting, but all the times you and Matt stop, take something out of a bag, change a lens, pack up a tripod, etc. It sounds super basic, but it's something I've wondered - do "pros" change lenses a lot more often than I do? Do you throw down your backpack on the snow in the park or on the street, flip open the whole lid and such to get something out or to put it away while out shooting this kind of content? Maybe dull, but helpful for everyone else to see those basics and how to do it well/quickly.
I'm using the Dakine Sync 15L and it's not very well known but oh so good! Especially for us smaller guys that don't want a massive camera bag but it has plenty of storage and so comfy!
For the upcoming "celebrity" TH-camrs, kindly dont be like this. Once you again more subscribe kindly dont recommend something just for the sake. Ppl followed you coz you gave some valid content. Evrybody knew this bag is too costly.
Your review of the PeakDesign Travel Backpack could have been much more complete, it's my daily driver and it has a lot of features that you didn't cover, such as : - The cube system that allows you to adapt the gear to clothing ratio. For instance, with a large camera cube you can fill up the entire bag with gear for a big shoot. On the contrary, with a small camera cube and medium packing cube you can have enough clothing for a week long vacation as well as a camera body with 2 or 3 lenses. - The front of the back has a few zipper pockets - It has both compression and expansion, meaning that it can compress from 35L to 30L for daily-ish use but also the front pocket expand for 45Ltotal, to pack more clothes for example - It features full back access, as well as side access on either sides, and even front access if you unzip the internal divider - Two water bottle pocket for water bottle + tripod carry or umbrella + tripod And a bunch more : laptop + tablet sleeve, tuck-away hip strap, sternum strap, smart ways to make the bag less pickpocketable, external carry, weather proofness, lifetime warranty... Furthermore, PeakDesign is part of 1%For The Planet and is launching a Carbon Neutral label. I know it takes time to learn about all of these features, but it's important to highlight that although it's a big backpack, it is also very feature rich to the same level of Pete's one.
Just got the 45l travel back and it's awesome so far! Got the medium cube for a7iii plus 3 lenses, powerbank and mini 2 drone setup. My Gimbal fits into the front pocket and the tripod goes to the side with a water bottle. That thing is amazing! And I love the materials, they seem really sturdy
Wandrd 21L was perfect for me when I went to Japan for 10 days - carried my DSLR, 3 lenses, batteries, gimble, tripod, and still had space above the camera packing cube for clothes, carry-on amenity kit, over ear noise cancelling earphones, wallet, keys, passport, etc!
@@charlesheinzphotography1637 wait, what's the price on the PM Nomatic? Someone said it's like 525 for just the bag and the cube. Protactic is like 250 at most.
I love my Peak Everyday 20L but I admit it wouldn't be great for a serious photographer. I travel a lot and the photography backpack I see people with the most is the Lowepro ProTactic.
Depending on what you’re using it for, I couldn’t agree more. The PRVKE 21 has accompanied me across three continents and has been perfect. It’s feature set is ideal as a daily carry and for travel. It’s less perfect-though completely adequate-for day hiking. The new Shimoda Action X bags have a similar feature set and a far more comfortable harness for wilderness adventures.
Matti, you just didn't get that whole thing with folding parts of camera cubes. It should be hided under the cube. You just used those clips on PD bag on the wrong side, so then the folding part obviously doesn't work as it should. ;) Great review anyway!
Yes ! Pete's backpack is amazing... BUT, no all of the process can be thanks to him, pretty sure there was a design team advising him and also giving him ideas, may be ! Thats how those projects work, as far as I know.
From what I’ve seen, I love Peters new bag. I don’t love how long the wait will be. Give us the goods now, don’t make us wait! I get it, but it’s one of the things that’s a bummer about Kickstarter.
FYI, you CAN fold the lid of the CIA Pro insert to stay underneath it in the Backpack Pro. That widest rib will be on the side, with the rest of the lid underneath the insert.
I actually think the LowerPro 450 and the 450ii are the best backpacks out there. The McKinnon bag actually fits less stuff then the lowerpro bag. I have the 450ii and I have a mavic pro 2 and one extra battery, godox v1, 3 sony lenses, tascam, radios, a7iii, osmo action, lowerpro pouch with cables, memory card case and finally on the back zippers I have leftover things like cables, hard drives etc etc, plus a 13 inch MacBook pro. You might think " but why carry all that stuff?". I'm a fulltime on the go corporate filmmaker and photographer, so I have to have everything on me ready to make happen whatever a client needs last minute. I'm not thrashing Peter's bag or anything, I just think the LowerPro is a way more efficient bag at the moment.
Dope intro man! I'm so on the fence with Peter's bag. Love the features it has and that i can push in some clothes there as well... It's either that or the Lowepro 450AW II...
450 AWII works great, and notably in comparison to Peter's: it can easily accommodate a gripped camera. Peter's does not. Wish it had a bit extra space for additional clothes, but oh well. For that, I'm considering Shimoda Action.
@@nicherman6759 I don't know if I want the word douche bag on my back, you know? lol

F stop's backpacks are probably the best backpacks. Very modular and durable. Just high priced, but for carrying around thousands in equipment, worth the investment
Shimoda bags are incredible. I bought the Peter McKinnon bag and returned it. I love his battery holder though. I just wish I could find a bag that holds a laptop and a mirrorless and small lens. Just small, compact and tight. I don’t always need to bring multiple lenses, so if there was a small minimal compartment with a nice big laptop slot, and doesn’t look like a turtle shell, that would be legit.
I have the same Peak Design Travel bag with camera cube. Not the bag I would recommend for every day carry but it’s nice for weekend trips. About the cube issue though. You put the flap of it underneath the cube before securing the cube with the hooks. That way it doesn’t get in the way.
Come on, Matt! Don't take your subscribers for idiots! Not cool at all! I haven't watched the video yet and I already know which bag he will end up promoting.
GLOBIK Well you’re also biased when you expected him to recommend Peter’s backpack. Besides I think it really is a good bag designed by a film maker. And always remember that no matter how many videos they make about a certain product, it is still your decision at the end of the day which one to buy. ✌️
@@charlesghelo You really don't get it lol. I'm not biased about anything here. I didn't even talk about the quality of the bag. I'm calling him out for misleading his audience. He's pretending to make some kind of review video when it's obviously a promotional stunt.
GLOBIK well he did make a comparison of the bags. 🤷♂️ And you saying that you know which bag he’ll end up promoting without watching the video? That’s a bias.
@@charlesghelo Hahaha! Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? You don't seem to get what most people in this comment section got right away and you use words that you don't even understand lol... So let's just leave it at that.
GLOBIK lol! Just because people know that Matti and Pete are like best friends doesn’t mean that Matti chose to promote the backpack for that reason. If Matti doesn’t know Pete, is it not possible for him to choose that bag because he genuinely liked it?
I've been using and loving the Peak Design Everyday 30L backpack. It allows me to carry my work stuff as well as always have my camera on me. The Peak Design pouches also keep everything organized.
Matti have you tried F-Stop and Atlas bags? They're more outdoor oriented camera bags but that also means they handle the weight better and saves your back. I'm now using an F-Stop Ajna, and love them.
The one thing all these backpacks lack is they cannot be locked for 0 access. If someone in an airport wiggles open your zipper and drops in a few baggies of drugs with intent on just stealing your bag when you get off the plane, but you get caught. You get to sit in jail till you can get bailed out then have to pay a lawyer to sequester the video from the airport which they wont give up without a court order. A great time all because a backpack didn't lock down to 0 access. This happens FAR more often that you would think it does. I think Peter's bag WOULD have been perfect had it had this. You mention that it's too big for every-day use and that you still like having the Db Backpack, but I think you under use the second bag in Peter's backpack if that is the case. Peter's bag will be my bag of choice till I can find something equally good but with 0 access locks. Also if you are reading this around 8/20/2021 Nomatic is offering 15% off on first purchase by first time customers. I don't know if Peter's bag is included in that but worth looking into. (edited to correct typos)
I just came back from work and on my way home i listened to the thirt episode of the Matti & Pete show. and i couldnt stop laughing about pete's struggle to get to see the finale of game of thrones, it was just so funny and i felt listening to it as i was there with you guys, it made my day thanks for that! And i would love to see more podcasts series in the future if possible because there so personal and funny to hear you guys talk about filmmakers stuff and other things that i can relate to really good❤ i've also sent this to Peter because i wanted to share it right niw with you guys both, oh by the way, this has nothing to do with the video but i hope you like this comment also😁✌🏼
Here's what I need: 1. Laptop, wiring, external drives and power banks. Because I'll be bringing that with me. Perhaps I'll get a lighter one just for in-field camera work. 2. Camera equipment. A pocket for the house, naturally. With a short lens on. At least a couple of extra lenses plus a place for caps and small things. Perhaps a pouch for cleaning equipment. And ofc a pocket for extra batteries, big and small, and for the charger. Last but not least a dual-use or utility pocket for those times I wish to bring a portable flash. Dual use, because it should also house a Mavic Pro drone. I haven't gotten one yet, but I plan to once my work situation becomes more 3. Hooks to hook your tripod(s) outside, so it doesn't jangle and so it doesn't make an un-even weight distribution on the sack if it's heavy. tl;dr: Doucehbag for city slicking and Peter McKinnon for photo hiking.
I still use the lowepro 450 and it's been perfectly fine for my use, but the one thing that really bothers me about it is that it doesn't have a water bottle compartment, and I always need a water bottle with me.
I'm not sure how anyone "reviewing" bags can not know this or be bothered to notice it, unless of course they are going through a process to come to an obvious conclusion as has been stated in the comments many times (and its not an actual review). I'm disappointed if thats the case.
I'm gonna get Peter's Backpack because Not only can I use it as a Camera Backpack BUT...also as an Everyday Pack as well because when I go Traveling instead of 3 bags to carry all i need is just 2. This and my carry-on...AMAZING...AND Simple.
The of travel bag is the best. You fold the flap under the cube before you clip it in. It's designed that way. But I do agree the camera cub needs to be thinner. Other than that I use this bag all the time.
I use an Incase backpack. It doesn't look like a camera bag with it's sleek design which is great plus it fits my tripod on the inside instead of externally with straps.
Anthony Riso cool! Thanks I remember seeing this. I was wondering how he did the whole sequence but I guess it’s not more than a simple edit for the rest of the intro. Thanks bro!
Lowepro AWII is hands down the best backpack there is ! It doesn't break your bank, completely modular and tough as hell. Can literally survive anything. It's side loader, top loader, full view everything. Dude has the got the best there is but doesn't use it just because it's so popular.
I use my hexbrand bag for bigger shoots when I need more gear. I go to lately for run and gun shooting is my wandrd prvke 31. It’s perfect for what I need.
Hey Matti, I’ve subbed for almost a year now, I think. Like your gear reviews. Nothing wrong supporting PM, just state the obvious and most of the negative comments below should go away. I have the PD 45l and it’s similar to PM’s bag except his look more comfortable but both are well done bags with attention to details. I haven’t tried PM’s bag for obvious reasons but from the vids, it’s definitely cool and detailed). Would be one of my top choices for travel and some city use. For outdoors use, I have the Atlas 45l Athlete and it’s the most comfortable and a roll top so you can squeeze a lot of non-gear with gear. I would suggest you to relook at your second choice with Shimoda. I’m buying into it because of their system and versatility range (30/50/70l + rolling bags). It also has comfort and when I bring heavy setups for photo and video work, I am not limited. And Ian, the owner/designer, is hands on. Same with Allan from Atlas. Also check out Cotton Carrier belt system for light setup photo work. They just finished their campaign on Kickstarter. Anyhow, no affiliation to the above brands. Just a consumer who loves bags from brands who care about quality, details that works in real world use, no gimmicks, and passionate at what they do. More options/reasons to buy. Cheers!
I LOVE the DB Backpack Pro. I actually was able to get my hands on it and did a review. Great video Matti, really enjoyed hearing your take on them. Cheers!
Matti, I actually just purchased the the lowerpro 450AW and all I keep wondering is: will the nomatic cube fit in there? maybe will be a better combo for me.
Good old streetwalker hardrive 2.0 from think tank. Holds what I need, 2 bigger bodies, few lenses, laptop, system flashes and all accessories. Not most beautiful bag. More like function over form but it is comfy and does what it supposed to do.
I had been using the Lowepro compu trekker aw for more than 10 years and now I’m thinking in a bag that potato jet recommend the ThinkTank photo urban accessories 15, what do you think about it?
The only video that I'm disappointed Matti had made. Hes such a sincere guy, and this video just seemed, less than sincere. But I get it I guess. Still a fan.
New favourite bag has to be the Tenba Cooper 8. Fantastic bag. For anything bigger I’d go with the Lowepro 450 v2 or for more protective a Pelican Case 1510.

Also the fact that you think I can't afford a $500 bag when the equipment I have easily passes $15k lmao. No I just don't like getting fooled no matter how much money I have and here you are trying to bs others into wasting their money too just because you used a bag for only 2 months and is trying to convince yourself its the best when you've used nothing else. 💀
@@deviny You're wrong. I checked most of these bags out and they will NOT carry a 17 inch laptop AND a 13 inch Macbook. As I mentioned, this was the most needed feature for us! Also, some of these bags are very close to the PM Nomadic in price. Why are you so angry and jealous of Peter, anyway?
That’s what friends are for, of course you help the ones you care about. It’s normal it’s not a competition. If more people where like this crew more people would be doing big things.
thank you father Happoja for all your sermons of camera wisdom. you are helping many people heal their camera karma. Amen Alleluja. God Bless.
I swear matti and Pete said they like the cool look of the protactic before
They did.
90% of their videos they use Protactic bags, clearly they like them.
It was literally the vid i watched before this one. He recommends the protac 450 and less than 1min in the next vid he tells us that he doesnt like it.....
I think I speak for us all when I say how shocked I am that Peter’s bag was your favorite 🐘
I am still loving the compact design of my Lowpro 350 AW. Does all I need and forces me to travel light and think about having the essentials
Just a heads up, you are using the Peak Design 45L bag incorrectly. I personally own this bag and have used it for a few months now. The camera cubes can be fastened to the bag all along the sides which allows the cube door to be completely tucked under and out of sight. You can even see the fabric loops on the side in your video to which they can be fastened. You have it fastened to the bag at the base which is only for use if you don't want access to the side access door and want to turn the medium camera cube 45 degrees to give you some additional space in the top compartment. This is pretty misleading in your video. You also didn't mention that the top half of the bag can be compressed, slimming down the profile of the bag dramatically.
I’m using a Grey/Black North Face Instigator - it’s not a camera specific backpack but it works really well when you’re only using a single camera and lens but need to take waterproofs etc - really great, versatile backpack!
I have the Peak Design Travel Backpack and LOVE it.
Much better choice.
The peak design travel backpack is amazing ! You can really do everything the others do if you have the optional insert options ! Peter’s bag is very similar in the end.
I did a review on the pd travel line, way better than pm's bag imo
Matti dragging every bag before he gets to Pete's... Haha We know that was gonna be the winner before the video started.
YUP! These guys are one long multi-channel infomercial these days...
The intro wins it all!!
Hi Matti
I have the peak design 45L and the issue you were having with the camera cube flap can be avoided, if you tuck it under the cube and then clip the cube to the bag on the sides then there is no issue. Hope this helps others considering this bag
“There’s no perfect backpack...”
*Peter lifts eyebrows from behind the camera*

@@essoSVK u can almost visualize it cant you ? :P
@@justrawmedia5985 that's exactly what I did LOL
@@essoSVK lmao
So all this backpack/bag talk got me thinking about something basic - the mechanics of when you're out shooting. Yes, sometimes we pack up a bag and travel from A to B, then unload it. But when you're out walking around shooting, how do all the little things work, partially with gear in the bag, but also things like lens changes, taking out then using then putting away a tripod, etc. I'd love a BTS video not of shooting, but all the times you and Matt stop, take something out of a bag, change a lens, pack up a tripod, etc. It sounds super basic, but it's something I've wondered - do "pros" change lenses a lot more often than I do? Do you throw down your backpack on the snow in the park or on the street, flip open the whole lid and such to get something out or to put it away while out shooting this kind of content? Maybe dull, but helpful for everyone else to see those basics and how to do it well/quickly.
I'm using the Dakine Sync 15L and it's not very well known but oh so good! Especially for us smaller guys that don't want a massive camera bag but it has plenty of storage and so comfy!
For the upcoming "celebrity" TH-camrs, kindly dont be like this. Once you again more subscribe kindly dont recommend something just for the sake. Ppl followed you coz you gave some valid content.
Evrybody knew this bag is too costly.
But It Has Very Nice Features And It Is Literally The Best Out There Filling Every Need
Tk Tk Amen !!
nice comment from a guy who hasn't posted any content and has 0 subscribers
I was kinda hoping that Matti would trash Peter’s bag and then cutaway to a sobbing Peter 😂
This would have been way better. I might have even liked this video if he did that.
Your review of the PeakDesign Travel Backpack could have been much more complete, it's my daily driver and it has a lot of features that you didn't cover, such as :
- The cube system that allows you to adapt the gear to clothing ratio. For instance, with a large camera cube you can fill up the entire bag with gear for a big shoot. On the contrary, with a small camera cube and medium packing cube you can have enough clothing for a week long vacation as well as a camera body with 2 or 3 lenses.
- The front of the back has a few zipper pockets
- It has both compression and expansion, meaning that it can compress from 35L to 30L for daily-ish use but also the front pocket expand for 45Ltotal, to pack more clothes for example
- It features full back access, as well as side access on either sides, and even front access if you unzip the internal divider
- Two water bottle pocket for water bottle + tripod carry or umbrella + tripod
And a bunch more : laptop + tablet sleeve, tuck-away hip strap, sternum strap, smart ways to make the bag less pickpocketable, external carry, weather proofness, lifetime warranty...
Furthermore, PeakDesign is part of 1%For The Planet and is launching a Carbon Neutral label. I know it takes time to learn about all of these features, but it's important to highlight that although it's a big backpack, it is also very feature rich to the same level of Pete's one.
Just got the 45l travel back and it's awesome so far! Got the medium cube for a7iii plus 3 lenses, powerbank and mini 2 drone setup. My Gimbal fits into the front pocket and the tripod goes to the side with a water bottle. That thing is amazing! And I love the materials, they seem really sturdy
He has the peak design 45L travel on the thumbnail but reviews the everyday bag in the video, no mention of the travel 45L, weird ..a bit misleading.
Wandrd 21L was perfect for me when I went to Japan for 10 days - carried my DSLR, 3 lenses, batteries, gimble, tripod, and still had space above the camera packing cube for clothes, carry-on amenity kit, over ear noise cancelling earphones, wallet, keys, passport, etc!
Got the 21 and now I got the duo. Perfect for everyday!
I’ve always liked Tenba and Dakine camera bags. They don’t get enough credit. The Dakone Sync is an awesome, small, everyday photo backpack.
Thats a whole lot of backpacks!
Thanks Matti! watching your stuff keeps me plugging away at my own TH-cam channel
Me just getting the protactic bag after matti recommendations
Mattic: protactic bad
Me : l
cant recommend the PM bad if you can get protactic for less now can he
@@burgunbeerd only more expensive if you get the package with all the accessories.
Well it would suck if you go by Matti's recommendations alone. But you do know that he's tighter with PM than peanut butter with jelly, right?
@@charlesheinzphotography1637 wait, what's the price on the PM Nomatic? Someone said it's like 525 for just the bag and the cube. Protactic is like 250 at most.
I love my Peak Everyday 20L but I admit it wouldn't be great for a serious photographer. I travel a lot and the photography backpack I see people with the most is the Lowepro ProTactic.
Peter's bag getting the most attention? Would NEVER have guessed
Matti, your light episode from four days ago you recommended the lowpro bag in the notes which you seemed to discount in this episode.
The Wandrd Prvke 21 & 30 is hands down my favorite bag.
5Cents Media been looking at picking one up!
Depending on what you’re using it for, I couldn’t agree more. The PRVKE 21 has accompanied me across three continents and has been perfect. It’s feature set is ideal as a daily carry and for travel. It’s less perfect-though completely adequate-for day hiking. The new Shimoda Action X bags have a similar feature set and a far more comfortable harness for wilderness adventures.
Matti, you just didn't get that whole thing with folding parts of camera cubes. It should be hided under the cube. You just used those clips on PD bag on the wrong side, so then the folding part obviously doesn't work as it should. ;) Great review anyway!
500 Euros for that Backpack, i know is amazing quality, but dude, 90% of peter pubblic don't have money :( put myself in this.
I’m still in love with my Pro Tactic 450, it’s perfect for me.
Mikael Klingbjer me too - daily use and takes huge abuse.
Its the best bag mentioned kn this video
conflict of interest there..... should be classified as an AD? thoughts?
Yes ! Pete's backpack is amazing... BUT, no all of the process can be thanks to him, pretty sure there was a design team advising him and also giving him ideas, may be ! Thats how those projects work, as far as I know.
From what I’ve seen, I love Peters new bag. I don’t love how long the wait will be. Give us the goods now, don’t make us wait! I get it, but it’s one of the things that’s a bummer about Kickstarter.
FYI, you CAN fold the lid of the CIA Pro insert to stay underneath it in the Backpack Pro. That widest rib will be on the side, with the rest of the lid underneath the insert.
Matti is always a good friend to PM so it’s obvious already even before finishing this video, this is a veiled promo for PM nomatic backpack
Oh, that Shimoda would be perfect for me. Thanks for the hint Matti!
but how many Marshmallows can you fit in the new PM bag?
I actually think the LowerPro 450 and the 450ii are the best backpacks out there. The McKinnon bag actually fits less stuff then the lowerpro bag. I have the 450ii and I have a mavic pro 2 and one extra battery, godox v1, 3 sony lenses, tascam, radios, a7iii, osmo action, lowerpro pouch with cables, memory card case and finally on the back zippers I have leftover things like cables, hard drives etc etc, plus a 13 inch MacBook pro. You might think " but why carry all that stuff?". I'm a fulltime on the go corporate filmmaker and photographer, so I have to have everything on me ready to make happen whatever a client needs last minute. I'm not thrashing Peter's bag or anything, I just think the LowerPro is a way more efficient bag at the moment.
It’s kinda biased... you didn’t show any features of the peak design backpacks. There is so much more into it
There is also more to the douchebags
Yeah, helpful he had 6 minutes to spare to cover ALL of the features for the PM bag though.
Dope intro man!
I'm so on the fence with Peter's bag. Love the features it has and that i can push in some clothes there as well... It's either that or the Lowepro 450AW II...
what about a Lowpro 450AW II with the cube pack eh? ;)
Get the PM. He's right about the Lowepro. I have the 450AW II. it's a great bag, but not nearly as well designed as the PM one appears to be.
@@danggood I'm leaning towards it. I mean, it already has my first name on it 😅
450 AWII works great, and notably in comparison to Peter's: it can easily accommodate a gripped camera. Peter's does not. Wish it had a bit extra space for additional clothes, but oh well. For that, I'm considering Shimoda Action.
@@danggood But it fits a gripped camera! Peter's doesn't.
The amount of times I heard “DoucheBags” was funny.
AlexCTech whoever thought of the name is a pure comic genius 😂
@@nicherman6759 I don't know if I want the word douche bag on my back, you know? lol
F stop's backpacks are probably the best backpacks. Very modular and durable. Just high priced, but for carrying around thousands in equipment, worth the investment
Shimoda bags are incredible. I bought the Peter McKinnon bag and returned it. I love his battery holder though. I just wish I could find a bag that holds a laptop and a mirrorless and small lens. Just small, compact and tight. I don’t always need to bring multiple lenses, so if there was a small minimal compartment with a nice big laptop slot, and doesn’t look like a turtle shell, that would be legit.
I have the same Peak Design Travel bag with camera cube. Not the bag I would recommend for every day carry but it’s nice for weekend trips. About the cube issue though. You put the flap of it underneath the cube before securing the cube with the hooks. That way it doesn’t get in the way.
Newmarket! Hungry brew hops! Cauliflower fritters!
Come on, Matt! Don't take your subscribers for idiots! Not cool at all!
I haven't watched the video yet and I already know which bag he will end up promoting.
GLOBIK Well you’re also biased when you expected him to recommend Peter’s backpack. Besides I think it really is a good bag designed by a film maker. And always remember that no matter how many videos they make about a certain product, it is still your decision at the end of the day which one to buy. ✌️
@@charlesghelo You really don't get it lol. I'm not biased about anything here. I didn't even talk about the quality of the bag. I'm calling him out for misleading his audience. He's pretending to make some kind of review video when it's obviously a promotional stunt.
GLOBIK well he did make a comparison of the bags. 🤷♂️
And you saying that you know which bag he’ll end up promoting without watching the video? That’s a bias.
@@charlesghelo Hahaha! Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?
You don't seem to get what most people in this comment section got right away and you use words that you don't even understand lol... So let's just leave it at that.
GLOBIK lol! Just because people know that Matti and Pete are like best friends doesn’t mean that Matti chose to promote the backpack for that reason. If Matti doesn’t know Pete, is it not possible for him to choose that bag because he genuinely liked it?
I've been using and loving the Peak Design Everyday 30L backpack. It allows me to carry my work stuff as well as always have my camera on me. The Peak Design pouches also keep everything organized.
Matti- "Only downside to the douchebag is that my gear sometimes fall out of the camera cube"
If only there was a lid to the smaller one 😂😅
Matti have you tried F-Stop and Atlas bags? They're more outdoor oriented camera bags but that also means they handle the weight better and saves your back. I'm now using an F-Stop Ajna, and love them.
The one thing all these backpacks lack is they cannot be locked for 0 access. If someone in an airport wiggles open your zipper and drops in a few baggies of drugs with intent on just stealing your bag when you get off the plane, but you get caught. You get to sit in jail till you can get bailed out then have to pay a lawyer to sequester the video from the airport which they wont give up without a court order. A great time all because a backpack didn't lock down to 0 access. This happens FAR more often that you would think it does. I think Peter's bag WOULD have been perfect had it had this. You mention that it's too big for every-day use and that you still like having the Db Backpack, but I think you under use the second bag in Peter's backpack if that is the case.
Peter's bag will be my bag of choice till I can find something equally good but with 0 access locks. Also if you are reading this around 8/20/2021 Nomatic is offering 15% off on first purchase by first time customers. I don't know if Peter's bag is included in that but worth looking into. (edited to correct typos)
I just came back from work and on my way home i listened to the thirt episode of the Matti & Pete show. and i couldnt stop laughing about pete's struggle to get to see the finale of game of thrones, it was just so funny and i felt listening to it as i was there with you guys, it made my day thanks for that! And i would love to see more podcasts series in the future if possible because there so personal and funny to hear you guys talk about filmmakers stuff and other things that i can relate to really good❤ i've also sent this to Peter because i wanted to share it right niw with you guys both, oh by the way, this has nothing to do with the video but i hope you like this comment also😁✌🏼
You pretty much coverd every thing thanks matti
Nice review but i was wondering if Peter's bag has the space to carry a tripod. is the side net big enough for a tripod?
Here's what I need:
1. Laptop, wiring, external drives and power banks. Because I'll be bringing that with me. Perhaps I'll get a lighter one just for in-field camera work.
2. Camera equipment. A pocket for the house, naturally. With a short lens on. At least a couple of extra lenses plus a place for caps and small things. Perhaps a pouch for cleaning equipment. And ofc a pocket for extra batteries, big and small, and for the charger. Last but not least a dual-use or utility pocket for those times I wish to bring a portable flash. Dual use, because it should also house a Mavic Pro drone. I haven't gotten one yet, but I plan to once my work situation becomes more
3. Hooks to hook your tripod(s) outside, so it doesn't jangle and so it doesn't make an un-even weight distribution on the sack if it's heavy.
tl;dr: Doucehbag for city slicking and Peter McKinnon for photo hiking.
I still use the lowepro 450 and it's been perfectly fine for my use, but the one thing that really bothers me about it is that it doesn't have a water bottle compartment, and I always need a water bottle with me.
Does the dbag have luggage pass through ?
The flap of the PD medium camera combo can also fold away like you did it on the DB.
I'm not sure how anyone "reviewing" bags can not know this or be bothered to notice it, unless of course they are going through a process to come to an obvious conclusion as has been stated in the comments many times (and its not an actual review). I'm disappointed if thats the case.
I spend way too much time investigating bags. I definitely have a bag problem. But it's so good! Backed peter's bag soooo pumped
I'm gonna get Peter's Backpack because Not only can I use it as a Camera Backpack BUT...also as an Everyday Pack as well because when I go Traveling instead of 3 bags to carry all i need is just 2. This and my carry-on...AMAZING...AND Simple.
How's the strap, it seems to be my problem from all of these bags.
I need a combo bag that fits me for fpv droning along with a sony a7s3, 2 lenses and a laptop. Any recommendation? :)
The of travel bag is the best. You fold the flap under the cube before you clip it in. It's designed that way. But I do agree the camera cub needs to be thinner. Other than that I use this bag all the time.
🎒🎒🎒.. for weddings do you recommend PM’s backpacks 🎒??? I carry two 📷s on shoots can you do a video showing two cameras with 2 zoom lens🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
I’m using a Lowepro basic bag. Matti your channel deserves 5 million subs I love your content so much🔥
I use an Incase backpack. It doesn't look like a camera bag with it's sleek design which is great plus it fits my tripod on the inside instead of externally with straps.
That intro is 🔥 ...a little stop motion/stabilization flow. Can you do a how to video?
Hey Jason! I think he actually did a vid on this. It's here: th-cam.com/video/cm1kU9EI_tA/w-d-xo.html
i think he filmed it with the 360 camera and used tracking motion in after effects
Anthony Riso cool! Thanks I remember seeing this. I was wondering how he did the whole sequence but I guess it’s not more than a simple edit for the rest of the intro. Thanks bro!
Jason Reeves anytime man!
Wow this is amazing content! You inspired me to create my own channel that focuses on filming!
Lowepro AWII is hands down the best backpack there is ! It doesn't break your bank, completely modular and tough as hell. Can literally survive anything. It's side loader, top loader, full view everything. Dude has the got the best there is but doesn't use it just because it's so popular.
Just bought a LOWEPRO PROTACTIC BP 450 AW II
yesterday. Looks like a Great Redesigned version of the 450 AW I.
I use my hexbrand bag for bigger shoots when I need more gear. I go to lately for run and gun shooting is my wandrd prvke 31. It’s perfect for what I need.
What was your top view camera in this video? It looked extra crisp. Bmpcc6k?
Peter has really made the perfect bag.
Check out the pd travel line. That is the perfect bag imo. Did a review on it with an unbias view.
Hey Matti,
I’ve subbed for almost a year now, I think. Like your gear reviews.
Nothing wrong supporting PM, just state the obvious and most of the negative comments below should go away.
I have the PD 45l and it’s similar to PM’s bag except his look more comfortable but both are well done bags with attention to details. I haven’t tried PM’s bag for obvious reasons but from the vids, it’s definitely cool and detailed). Would be one of my top choices for travel and some city use.
For outdoors use, I have the Atlas 45l Athlete and it’s the most comfortable and a roll top so you can squeeze a lot of non-gear with gear.
I would suggest you to relook at your second choice with Shimoda. I’m buying into it because of their system and versatility range (30/50/70l + rolling bags). It also has comfort and when I bring heavy setups for photo and video work, I am not limited. And Ian, the owner/designer, is hands on. Same with Allan from Atlas.
Also check out Cotton Carrier belt system for light setup photo work. They just finished their campaign on Kickstarter.
Anyhow, no affiliation to the above brands. Just a consumer who loves bags from brands who care about quality, details that works in real world use, no gimmicks, and passionate at what they do. More options/reasons to buy.
Cheers!
He ripped on the better bags before moving onto the PM advert. Utterly disingenious fellow.
I LOVE the DB Backpack Pro. I actually was able to get my hands on it and did a review. Great video Matti, really enjoyed hearing your take on them. Cheers!
Can you fit a 1dx body with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached in Peter’s bag?
Matti, I actually just purchased the the lowerpro 450AW and all I keep wondering is: will the nomatic cube fit in there? maybe will be a better combo for me.
Good old streetwalker hardrive 2.0 from think tank. Holds what I need, 2 bigger bodies, few lenses, laptop, system flashes and all accessories. Not most beautiful bag. More like function over form but it is comfy and does what it supposed to do.
I had been using the Lowepro compu trekker aw for more than 10 years and now I’m thinking in a bag that potato jet recommend the ThinkTank photo urban accessories 15, what do you think about it?
Hey. When does the Kickstarter end for PM's backpack?
Drinking game: whenever Matti says "REALLY".
Trying to get alcohol poisoning 😂😂😂
BRUH
Thank god... I don't drink.
The only video that I'm disappointed Matti had made. Hes such a sincere guy, and this video just seemed, less than sincere. But I get it I guess. Still a fan.
I am impressed with Peter's bag
Any thoughts on Atlas Camera back pack....? totally understand it’s in a deferent circle of shooting “outdoor projects” Love the video’s
New favourite bag has to be the Tenba Cooper 8. Fantastic bag. For anything bigger I’d go with the Lowepro 450 v2 or for more protective a Pelican Case 1510.
Great video. I love my Lowepro Fastpack 250.
What sweater is that ? Looks so good !
I don't know why, but I love the colors in this video.
Me too 😊
