Yes.

You might want to check out the Shimoda Action X30 (see below). I like it more than the Atlas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIGYp2pqr8mNqcUsi=daS_e7lVypKlXm1J

Not directly. Folks have developed various work around though.

Thank you I’m glad the video was helpful.

I spent years shooting on crop sensor DSLRs before moving to full-frame mirrorless cameras. Higher end cameras have their benefits and can make things a bit easier in some ways, but aren't necessary to get good photos.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree and really don't understand splitting Lightroom on desktop into two different products. Plus, I would love to see the new AI based denoise come to the iPad. There is no reason the newest iPads with Apple silicon couldn't run that feature.

Yes, the full resolution RAW files will be synced back to your computer.

It copies the RAW files. It will also sync the RAW files to your Lightroom Classic library.

@@BrendanWiltse Thanks, I'll try again

Glad it was helpful!

I agree. I have the Peak Design Everyday Sling, but am not familiar with the Ulanzi one. I supposed you could always attach the Falcam to the strap but that isn’t as nice of a solution.

Thank you!

For a few months I imported and edited almost exclusively on my iPad. I would only go to the computer to organize my library and do more advanced edits. I think Adobe’s syncing could be better but I find a super convenient workflow.

Thank you for the information. I'm seeing that Adobe is taking Sync Photos away in February. Will this effect your workflow?

@@doodledidit As best as I understand Adobe is removing Creative Cloud synced files but photos synced through their Lightroom products will continue to be supported. So this won’t impact my mobile workflow.

I have the same workflow laptop-classic based editing on my iPad

Do you find yourself editing more on your iPad or laptop?

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you! My goal is to post content more regularly in 2024.

Definitely the Shimoda. I liked the Atlas Athelstan but my biggest long-term complaint is the camera storage area is very shallow and it was a tight squeeze to fit larger mirrorless bodies and lenses into. I like the flexibility of the Shimoda system.

@@BrendanWiltse Thank you so much for your reply. I was about to get Shimoda Action X30 anyway, but still was wondering about Atlas Pack Athletic bag as the web site was alluding to an upcoming sale ( Black Friday ). Now I can comfortably just go with Shimoda and not look back. Shimoda is also over $100 less than Athlete Pack, which helps a lot for me anwyay. Thank you 11

You make a good point about downsizing your camera system. It doesn't matter much if your bag is super heavy. I find LowePro bags in general to be a lot heavier than they need to be.

I call 'em like I see 'em.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. I doubt I’ll do a follow up. LowePro bags leave a lot to be desired, at least for those of us that carry gear long distances.

@@BrendanWiltse hey, so can you suggest an alternative?

Nikon 18-35 f3.5-4.5. It’s on my my favorite Nikon lenses. I’ve owned a lot of the f2.8 glass, for most shooting this lens performs just as well and is much lighter.

Well. I bang it around in rivers/streams, throw it in the back of my truck with other gear, and have travelled with it to Hawaii. To be honest, I don’t give it as much care as I do the rest of my gear. It still works for what I use it for which is mostly shallow water snorkeling.

@@BrendanWiltse I'm planning to buy a 200DL housing for my A7iii for stream/river snorkeling photo (mostly fish portrait and school), the lense I use is recommend with the 8" port. How do you like this huge dome in small streams? Would you prefer the compact dome?

@@OliMoris7 It’s cumbersome in small streams. If you can make a smaller port work I would do it. In some of the streams I work in the housing and dome barely fit under water.

The rain cover comes with the pack and you'll find it in a pocket at the bottom of/under the pack. Good review btw and I agree that a larger lumbar pad would be an improvement. I often use mine without the hipbelt as it's overkill on shorter trips. If I used it a lot, I'd probably would have cut off the pull out pocket on the hipbelt, the hipbelt pockets are more useful without this IMO. My largest negative is that I like to be able to get a travel tripod inside the camera compartment, but it's not tall enough even for a PD travel tripod, a 1-series Gitzo or similar. Would have been very convenient when I travel and want everything inside the pack. It's possible to put it in the main compartment though, but then it takes space from other non-photo gear and is not as protected. Also note that Atlas has a 2021-model with lots of small improvements.

@@frstesiste7670 Love that integrated rain cover as it's very easy to unpack and cover the bag very quickly. Packs back in very easily. Such a nice feature...

You’re welcome.

Thank you.

Atlas, f-stop, or shimoda. I use an Atlas Athlete almost daily because I like that it has external water bottle pockets. I have a review of that pack here > kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWibfaFujc-Sgrc

@@BrendanWiltse wow, thank you so much for your swift reply and suggestions, looks like i´m currently not able to get the Atlas Athlete here in europe, but i will check out your review nevertheless and also th eother brnds you mention!

You’re welcome. It’s a well built bag that looks nice but isn’t particularly functional in terms of hiking/outdoor adventures.

You’re welcome :-)
