I’ve had the tech case for almost a year and I take my go pro equipment when traveling. Found that not all my stuff would fit. I will definitely upgrade because of this video. Thanks!

[@PackingLess]

Thanks, I definitely think the max is the one to get, its just a touch bigger but worth it

[@8820Shane]

Did you get the max or did you go with one of the bravo slings? I’m wanting to get one specifically for my GoPro while traveling. Also be taking a selfie stick. Not sure if it’ll fit.

[@4Kreflex]

@@8820Shane Well on my old tech case the selfie stick would fit. But usually my waterproof case wouldn't. I sold my old bag and got the new tech case max. Definitely A lot more room. But maybe not enough depending what you need inside. I usually carry a stick, batteries plus the charging case, media mod with light. Plus a battery bank. All fits.

[@8820Shane]

@@4Kreflex thanks, that’s about what I’m trying to fit in it. That helps

[@4Kreflex]

@@8820Shane No worries, glad it helped!

You putting that A7C in the Max sold me on it just now. I have a Canon R8 with a 35mm prime which I normally wouldn't carry in this but having it as an option is really cool. Could see myself using the R8 a lot more if I feel comfortable carrying it around with me.

[@sdophoto1405]

Ok this is a great video. I am considering a new bag. I was wondering if it would hold the sony a6700 which is just a tad bigger that the sony a7c

[@PackingLess]

It might, but I have a new sling I'm reviewing that might work better, stay tuned

[@jayadriantolentino]

great review man! quick question, can an ipad mini 6 (with case) fit in the tech case?

[@PackingLess]

I dont think so, but it does fit in the Max with the case

[@Criticalmaze]

@@PackingLessis that flat water bottle the 6oz or 12 oz?

[@PackingLess]

@@Criticalmaze that’s the smallest one a7 6oz yeah

[@letunglong8666]

Hi. Can you tell me did they come with 2 more additional straps or just the strap on the video? Thanks

[@PackingLess]

Usually they come with just the strap shown in the video, but you can buy additional different types of straps

[@mihaidragnea9785]

Does the max fit in the elements backpack?

[@PackingLess]

I dont have that backpack, but I think it would fit

[@cordellfrank1798]

Can fit ipad mini in the reg tech case as with case on.

[@PackingLess]

I think it does yes

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

My ipad mini 6 has the zugu case and also my other ipm6 for work, uses a PIVOT T21A titan series cases, and barely fits with the t21a case haha. So normal cases like the zugu fit well!

Do wireless charging powerbank charge phones through a divider?

[@PackingLess]

On the thinner sides maybe, but the magnet wont be as secure

[@carolinesanderson5950]

Great comparison. I think the max is the good for me. Much more complete bag & having the strap is perfect :)

[@PackingLess]

Its definitely my favourite one

[@jcap8391]

​@@PackingLessDo you think a small 9mm handgun, a 4oz pepper spray bottle, my wallet, my keys a couple of earbud cases could fit in the max? I'm looking at this or the black ember kompak😮

[@PackingLess]

@@jcap8391 guns are illegal here in Australia so I cant really comment

[@jcap8391]

@@PackingLess Really? That's crazy. That kinda adds up. I always see people attacking each other with boomerangs and machetes in videos. 👍

[@PackingLess]

@@jcap8391 Hah yeh, well I can say a boomerang wont fit in there :P

[@georgeseriani2482]

Will the max carry my eight inch Amazon HD fire 8?

[@PackingLess]

if its similarly sized to the ipad mini 6, the bag is Length: 24 cm (9.45”), Height: 15.50 cm (6.10”), Depth: 9.50 cm (3.74”)

hi i have a fuji xt4 with 35 mm lens do you think it will fit in the tech case? thanks for the useful video!

[@PackingLess]

It might, but I'd recommend the Tech Case Max for carrying a camera

[@alvinbartolome1239]

Finally a comparrison video. Question, for camera carry (Fujifilm X100F + small accessories), which is the better sling? The Case Max or the Bellroy Venture Sling 6L. Thank you very much.

[@PackingLess]

I actually kind of prefer the Tech Case Max because the venture sling is a bit harder to get fully into, the zips dont open all the way down the sides. And the Max is a bit more versatile because you can take the straps completely off and use it like a packing cube

[@alvinbartolome1239]

@@PackingLess Thank u for the suggestion, too bad the Case Max is sold out at the moment.

[@alvinbartolome1239]

@@PackingLess It is me again, does the case max provide ample cushion at the bottom part to protect our cameras? Thank u.

[@PackingLess]

@@alvinbartolome1239 Theres a very small amount of thin padding on the bottom, same as the sides and front

[@alvinbartolome1239]

@@PackingLess Hi again, how wpuld you compate the Max vs the Peak Desig Tech pouch in terms of camera carry.

[@beasteight8896]

does the max version able to fit Nintendo switch with its case?

[@PackingLess]

It fits a switch, but with a case would depend on the case

[@SuperMario77]

Please can you make a video on 1 litre or less belt bags , which can hold a slim water bottle, iphone max pro , passport, airpods, keys and some money and cards …I can’t find a good comparison video on small size belt bags..

[@PackingLess]

This one could be worn as a belt bag if you like. Alpaka have a lot of other sizes of bags that can be worn around the waist or as slings

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

I wish they had longer shoulder straps! I am 6ft 5in, and I have a twin. He is heavy set, while I am muscular and dense. But we are both wide, and thick chested, broad shouldered. I use the max case, and had to rig paracord loops where the strap clips secure, so I could use a generic shoulder strap that had gator jaw style clips that I secure to the paracord loops, has worked well. But I just wish they had at least on their site the option to order straps that were maybe 10-12in longer, esp since also some folks will wear over a jacket or a sweater! The way the stock strap fit extended, the pouch road a few inches under my arm pit, vs with my custom strap setup, can wear similar to how you are in opening of the video. When day to day, I use a black case, when traveling I use orange! Great video btw, and you've given me ideas for new items to carry!

[@JBBell]

The text on your website contains a bunch of complete nonsense about the max. It says it has a card holder, and that it can fit a 13” laptop, amid other misinformation. I presume it was written by ChatGPT.

[@PackingLess]

Hey, thanks for catching that, I did have some filler text there while I was building the website, I must have missed that one before publishing.
