DOPE or NOPE? The Brevitē Jumper Camera Bag

[@tombuck]

I’ve been using the jumper for over a year and it’s pretty darn terrific. Only downside is that the material isn’t super easy to keep clean if you’re in a lot of mud/dirt.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I sort of wondered that Tom. At first I loved it because it was so soft and felt really nice, but I could totally see how it might pickup dirt and mud. Have you tried washing it yet? Wonder how it would handle just getting tossed in the wash machine

[@sidbrun_]

On their KZbin channel they seemed to say you can just put it in a washing machine on cold, then leave it out with all the pockets open. But not sure if that applies to the camera bag too.

[@davidrosenblit]

IDK about anyone else, but when I watch other people on KZbin I'm very aware that they're creators. When I watch David's videos I feel more like I'm involved in a friendly conversation. That's nice.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Dude... That means a lot David! Thanks man👊

[@Frank343k]

Love seeing your take on this! The jumper was my first camera bag and was solid for a light carry with my crop sensor. Once I started to fill it up, it gets pretty uncomfortable without back padding and those straps. Still love to take it when all I pack is my camera and iPad with minimal accessories. Thanks for the video David!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Man, I totally agree with you Frank! I think with a camera and just a few accessories, it would be perfect. I could totally see how it might get uncomfortable to carry a ton in there for a long period of time. How has it held up structurally for you? Can it take a bit of abuse?

[@bigboi36]

BRO I took all weekend looking online at an everyday bag for work. Although I did watch the Brevite pack and unpack video, I was still on the fence. After watching this video,YOU TRULY NAILED IT! I love street-photography and for the longest I had two bags I would carry, a back pack and a smaller bag for a Fuji X Pro 3 with one lens attached and an additional lens. It worked but it was cumbersome. I also have a Nikon z 50 with an adapted Voigtlander 40mm | f2. I LOVE to shoot both cameras but could not carry both. With this bag I can while carrying an iPad Pro and my lunch for the day. PERFECT!!!. NOW the killer app you displayed was the ability to removal of all the dividers and have access to the entire bag space. I can now configure it to carry books, workout-gear, and lunch of course. This again is perfect because I want a bag to go to be able to do the following activities. 1. EVERYDAY Carry | Commute and Street-photography on the way to work (Lunch + ipad pro +camera) 2. GYM Workout followed by recce walk-about and stretch during golden hour. 3. Weekend Shenanigans | Light workout + coffee shoppe. * I may need two bags for different occasions. Weekday and Weekend 😁 Thanks again for a solid review. I will order through your affiliate links.

[@TheNetflixNook]

I've had mine for probably around a year and a half now and have liked it quite a bit. The straps are my biggest issue with the bag. Not the most comfortable for me personally, but the overall storage and style are perfect for a minimal look and feel.

[@DavidManningvlog]

So rad to hear that you like it Jay! I could totally see the straps being an issue if it was loaded up and wearing it for awhile. I dig though that it legit just looks like a normal book bag. I feel like I'm going to get way more use out of this thing than I originally thought👍

[@Red-xz1gk]

I have this bag and used it for over a year. Low profile, light weight and large inner volume are the pros. But the materials ( no water proof, gathering dust and dirt plus very hard to clean) , quality of the dividers and the Velcros, relatively flimsy straps, weak or lack of proper reinforcement bottom are the least enjoyable parts of the ownership IMO. This is not a cheap bag if paid in full. With a good discount, it may be a good option as a dry weather light duty day bag. But there are some other better options out there at reasonable price.

[@ClareGPhotos]

I got this bag last year in that exact color, and I love it! I use it for school too and camera gear

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love that Clare! I was seriously shocked at how much it can hold. But I honestly might end up using it as more of an everyday bag more often!

[@addsfour3499]

THIS, THIS, THIS. I am not semi pro. I want a backpack for day trips with one camera and a spare lens. I then need room for a jumper or raincoat etc. this is what ive been wanting for ages. Good stuff

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

I like the way it stands up on its own

[@HikingwithGus]

I have used the Osprey Manta 32 for years and love it. Lots of pockets, does not say "I am a camera bag" to loudly. I hike and backpack a lot so it fits my needs. Thanks for the vid though!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Osprey makes some of my favorite bags in the world! What are you doing for a camera cube sort of thing inside the Manta 32?

[@HikingwithGus]

@@DavidManningvlog The only thing that goes in the pack typically are my additional lenses, the Canon nifty 50, 22 f/2, and the kit lens 15-45. Batteries and filters go in my Helikon-Tex Numbat chest pack for easy access. I carry my camera, M50, on the shoulder strap using the Peak Design clip. GoPro is what I use for pretty much all my outdoor videos. And for that, thanks to you and your review, I use Snapmounts on everything from my chest pack, dashboard in my rigs, the dog, to my trekking poles and my Ulanzi mini tripod (Love those things. ) Jobi sucks and fall apart. Just saying. Cheers !

[@benglassockXVIII]

I've been looking around for a camera bag that isn't super bulky but can fit a good amount into it, once again you somehow read my mind and made a video on the subject! Great video and great telepathy skills! Love the channel!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Running on the same wavelength man! Hahaa! I’m also pretty keen on reading the comments section😉👍

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

We LOVE our Brevite! We use it all the time. It surprisingly holds a TON of stuff.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's for sure the most surprising thing about this bag! Stoked to hear you're loving it!

[@HajongLee]

that satisfying feeling when you got the tech pouch in as well. and the bag looks much better when it’s full!

[@jennifercollinsbrever4898]

Brevit needs to switch out their colors! If avoid black for a camera bag is key, then navy is only other deep shade… :/

[@DavidManningvlog]

@@jennifercollinsbrever4898 I'm digging the blue, green, and black colors. The rest are just meh to me

[@thatsginter]

Also, they have the Brevite "Runner" which is almost exactly the same version but with a magnetic flap top instead of a zipper top. I made a review on it on my channel and was also pleasantly surprised how much fit in there, And how it felt lighter somehow!!

[@DavidManningvlog]

I was torn between the two! That one looks dope as well though man!

[@annoymusi2735]

hey david, im planning on getting a vlogging camera. Which one of these should I get: dji osmo action, gopro hero 10 or insta one x2

[@actualartist3082]

I have the Brevite Scout II and it's perfect. Weather sealed and very clean. Gonna assume they discontinued it, but it was the best one imo. It had a removable cube as well.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Was it a full removable cube? Because I feel like that's the main thing that would make this bag better. It's rad that the dividers pop out so easily, but then it's a pain having to set them back up again. A full cube that you could pull in and out would be dope!

[@johncarreon7703]

Hey Thank you very much for the Insight. I would love to get the Bag :) My only question: The way you arrange the dividers, would it fit the R5 mounted with the RF24-70 (mounted), RF85 1.2 (upper cube), RF50.12 (lower cube) & EF35mm 1.4 with the adapter (side cube)? Without using the Daypack compartment

[@tpwaguas]

Random question. How long of a video clip in a video should be or general rule of thumb? In other words how long before the veiwer gets bored of a clip? If that makes sense. thanks Love your videos!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Solid question Tyson! That's going to absolutely depend on the type of video that you're making and what the intended pacing is. There's films that have ten minute shots that are incredible and other films that have a seven second shot and it feels like an eternity. Director's choice man, but I think when you watch back your video, if there's any moment when you're bored hearing yourself talk, cut that out👍

[@tpwaguas]

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for the tip!

[@blakerupert4920]

Looove the song at the beginning! Mind me asking where you found it?

[@BrandonTalbot]

Huge fan of the Boundary Supply Errant.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Does the Errant have any sort of camera cube configuration options?

[@BrandonTalbot]

@@DavidManningvlog There's a medium sized cube that fits in on the bottom or a smaller one that actually clips into the top to leave the bigger bottom section open.

[@marydavis57]

Thanks for the review. I have wanted a Brevite for quite a while, but this made up my mind.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's great Mary! I'm for sure pleasantly surprised by this bag!

[@peterleary8738]

As far as a camera backpack that doesn't look like a camera backpack this nails it. The recurring thing I hear, and it's a huge con, is the Velcro is pretty flimsy. Camera gear shifts around which is def not what you want for your gear. If the pads were sturdier and the velcro was stronger I would buy this bag.

[@raypratts1818]

I bought a few Cuts t-shirts. My wife loves the way I look in them.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love hearing that Ray! Man, it's hard when you see the cost, but once you have a couple, they end up being the only shirts I reach for!

[@raypratts1818]

The cost is a factor. But I’ve bought less expensive shirts that look good for a short while but don’t last. I wear Cuts even to the business meetings with a sports jacket. They are very versatile and look amazing.

[@cultureclam]

Nice little day pack for around town but it lacks the stiffer structure necessary to actually carry camera gear safely. Unfortunately the bag quickly loses its shape when loaded with cameras/lenses. The dividers are overly long and flexibly so my gear ends up piled up at the bottom of the bag. Would work much better with a camera cube of some sort. It's a shame as the bag is quite handsome and a joy to use and carry otherwise. Little help for v3 Brevitē?

[@yonwuilianaubravo7117]

Nice video! quick question. Do you think the top part can fit a gimbal? a zhiyun weebill 2 or the dji rs 3 mini?

[@OzxGG]

Is this the regular 18L or large 22L size?

[@neilford5262]

Surprised you didn’t recommend the Peak Design Everyday Backpack, especially either 20L or one of the Zip options. Appreciate that they aren’t for everyone though.

[@DavidManningvlog]

The Peak Design was my main bag for a couple years and I love that thing. Especially the easy access! I don't think it's super stealth as to not look like a camera bag though. For this one, I was looking for a bag that legit just looks like a book bag, but then can hold a surprising amount of stuff👍

[@spiraloutt6489]

Was this the 18L or the 20L?

[@jred9622]

hi bro, is the bag material durable enough to carry its maximum capacity of 18L?

[@jendemar5088]

[@chryseass.5143]

I'm sorry but that bag looks flimsy to me. I could see that the straps and back were not padded enough. The basic design and set up is similar to the Lowepro Fastpack ( which does look more camera baggy!)

[@paularroyo3751]

I can definitely use a bag like that. Tell me, have you ever considered doing some sort of a collab with Jeven Dovey?

[@Kenshirokan]

One thing I can't quite understand is why popular youtubers only endorse ridiculously expensive options of items that shouldn't be (backpacks, tripods, etc.) A minimalist backpack for $169?? No thanks. I understand that you pay for quality but in a lot of cases these exorbitant prices for everyday items doesn't always equate to that. There are plenty of options at far more reasonable prices. It baffles me how all these youtubers endorse so many over priced products. I'm not even going to start on the Cuts clothing brand you hype up. $50+ t-shirts? Seriously? Aside from all of that I do enjoy watching your videos reviewing mainstream products that don't reflect above said gripes (cameras, electronic equipment, etc.)

[@DavidManningvlog]

Totally get that point Alex and Olena! There's multiple factors that weigh into that, but budget is for sure one of them. I think to most photographers $169 for any sort of bag is a pretty solid and affordable price. What I stuffed in there in this video, with laptop included, is around ten thousand dollars worth of gear, so in comparison, the bag price is GREAT! But I also completely understand that everyone looks at price differently. As for the shirts though, get one for Alex and I promise you'll be stoked!😉

[@Kenshirokan]

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for the response, I honestly didn't think you would...lol. Good points. Perhaps one day I will try out a Cuts shirt!

[@Jaayboii-Netskys]

great video man, can never have enough varying backpacks in my eyes! I love a super big backpack with a smaller backpack inside, the big backpack holds everything I need for travelling to somewhere, for example if I'm going to climb a Munroe (Large high in Scotland) - I bring the big backpack in the car, filled with everything I might need. Once I arrive, bring out the smaller backpack with GoPro, Insta360 1 R, selfie sticks, attachments etc and a water bottle (so I don't carry a massive load of things). The backpack back in the car contains extra clothes for rainy hill climbs, a friends drone (for when I can borrow it) other bulkier items like suction cup mounts etc. I like the look of this bag! Also, great video. love the surprise in your face when you realise its got more capacity that first initially thought

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's a killer setup Jaayboii! I'm going to play with something similar and see what I can come up with!

The dividers are awful on these. Your camera gear is going to be everywhere once you start moving around. That’s the biggest drawback about the bag

[@DavidManningvlog]

Someone else mentioned the same Roy! It took me really pressing on the velcro to get the dividers to stick, but I'm a few days into using it and they're holding up well. I'll keep you posted though if I end up with that issue👍

[@LuisMarquez80]

that camera cavity is very flimsy. I had this and returned it.
