Don't Sleep On This POWERFUL Camera Backpack! PGYTECH OneMo 2 In Depth Review.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi there! We recently bought the bag too, and your video was actually part of our research before making the purchase. I noticed you talked about the safety strap feature. Here's a little tip: if you push only one side of the soft clip into each other, instead of both at the same time, it slides nicely under the ring. Give it a try! Hope this helps and have an awesome day! 😊🎒

[@ChangtseQ]

I was thinking the same thing, he just didn't know how to use it, i wonder if PGYTECH explains it somewhere!

[@cotiew]

so the real question is this bag or the shimoda explore v2?

[@PGYTECH]

Such an excellent review. Great job as always, thanks, Dunna🥰🥰

[@Hellamoody]

You're welcome!

[@pierdosurf3909]

Hello. excellent review, very detailed, for a very attractive product, both in terms of costs, but above all incredible quality. I met this company about 2 years ago, I purchased my first ONEMO 25 liter backpack. the choice of this backpack was not random, but after months and months of searching for the "perfect" photography backpack, I trusted it and I really liked it aesthetically. I have only been purchasing PGYTECH products for 2 years. I don't even look at other comparisons or other brands anymore, I like to be on the safe side. I also purchased the 35 liter ONEMO 2, plus women's photographic bags and shoulder straps (excellent gifts for Christmas). The ONEMO 2 was tested in rain and very adverse weather conditions. I was confident in my gear, all dry and protected. The backpack is excellently structured, studied in every detail, and the internal bag is truly a unique surplus. So my compliments go both to you for the review and to this company!! keep it up

[@JacquelineForand]

Great review Dunna! I remember the "security loops" issue you mentioned from some promo photos/videos, and I think you have to hook/thread the hard part of the zipper toggle through the loop for it to work. They don't slide through easily like you were trying to do since that wouldn't help stop thieves from trying to open the bag. I really appreciate you showing how both the backpack and sling look when wearing them, as well as being honest with your opinions about your likes and dislikes about the design. 😊 Looking forward to your next video!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much for the kind words Jacqueline!

[@LukeAntunes]

I was wondering too if these could “hook” through. Maybe a Short with an update? 🤔🤔

[@aphamfx]

​@@LukeAntunesYep, can confirm it hooks through easily compared to squeezing it.

[@jeremyfabrega28]

Have the 1st generation of this bag. Like it at about 85%..what I dont like is the mechanism of the buckle for the tripod sleeve (the same mechanism for all the buckles of the bag lol) is completely time consuming..besides that the bag is almost perfect lol

[@dunnadidit]

So close right?

[@robertaltman222]

I love my OneMo 1 - that small pack I find very useful once I arrive on location to have my camera and a lens or 2 quickly accessible - much faster fro my style than having to reach back into the main backpack for my camera - obviously it's a matter of what sort of shooting style once has.

[@raventhc8847]

The Thief lock zipper have the correct way to put it in and once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard. not useless at all.

[@tamron6014]

Didn't like it, send it back to Amazon. I really hated the super wide padding at shoulder/chest level. The chest strap felt awkward too. Still haven't found a new backpack for me.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for sharing!

[@laurenthenry]

Try the LowePro ProTactic 350 v2. Cheaper and very well designed.

[@JanandAnn]

Got this one lastweek. In Canada it was $350 on amazon. Worth it!!

[@dunnadidit]

Solid deal!

[@Hellamoody]

DAYUM

[@quickdry3]

would the shoulder bag work as the "top pocket", with the lid unzipoped and folded back so you can still get into ti from the top? instead of having the bulge at the bottom.

[@LukeAntunes]

I always love your bag reviews: very detailed and we have similar views on organization requirements, features and aesthetics (cuz yeah, that DEFINITELY matters LOL!) We need a 2023 bag showdown (maybe I’m the only one that wants this 😂😂) thanks for sharing Dunna!

[@hungshunger]

Hey Dunna, love your content! Now I'm a little conflicted.. Which backpack would you recommend for someone who has only one backpack for traveling and got heaps of equipment. The PeakDesign 45 or rather the Pgytech?

[@dunnadidit]

Honestly, that one is a bit of a toss up for me. They kind of serve a similar purpose but in slightly different ways. The peak is a solid contender and it well laid out but the extra pockets on the pgy are nice. Super close call.

[@dzongrila1]

Awesome review. I just purchased the 25L one. Intended to use it as a replacement for my standard laptop backpack, but this one looks a bit bulky. Usually for travel, I take a carry-on luggage and my laptop backpack. Can anyone comment whether the 25L one would fit under the seat in a flight? If not, it could be a problem. Otherwise, love everything about this backpack.

[@guidetheride2103]

Hello Donna, an impressive review, so detailed and well produced, thank you. I’m actually researching to find a multiple drones bag for my work, I’m looking to pack a mini 3, air2s, and a mavic 3; plus several batteries for each and other accessories including a landing pad, collapsible mini cones. I just want it all in one place so that I don’t need to make multiple trips to the car as i’m often parked far away from the job. This camera bag seems to fit the bill but it’s a bit of an investment £’s. I was wondering what your thoughts on my usage factor are for this bag? I’d value your opinion. 👍😊

[@REMY.C.]

Honestly? This bag is not expensive, packed with features, expandable for clothes, comes with a second bag and that's nice. It means you can use it easily to pack your gear and clothes for one week. I'd just prefer better side pockets and multiple front MOLLE straps. It's really a very nice backpack for that size.

[@felixancey3012]

Nice review. What bag would you recommend between this one, the Shimoda or the peak design travel bag? Is the pgytech more comfy than peak design? Thanks man.

[@matthewtomlinson9037]

Great review as always! Im curious how you feel that this bag stands up to the Shimoda explore series? I Know that the Shimoda is a bit more expensive but aside from the Sling bag the Shimoda seems to be much more feature rich in the 25 and 30L range, and the hip straps on the Shimoda are kind of heaven like.

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah, all in all I still prefer the Shimoda. It’s just a really great mix and a lot of solid options. I’m literally using it right now for some travel.

[@tylercornelison]

Love it Dunna! A great upgrade to my already favorite bag. But I will say the most impressive part was finding out that you're 6'1! 😂Why is everyone just 5'10 in my mind???

[@dunnadidit]

Lol 😂 well I’m glad my height could bring you some joy 🤩

[@brunogarcez]

6:01 Hey Dunna! Great video! You are doing wrong with the zippers 😅 you need to do like an needle thread 🪡! If you try you will understand that is good to be stiff 🎉

[@dunnadidit]

Maybe I’m not versed in threading a needle but I’m not sure how this changes anything lol.

Awesome review! It may not be the intended way for use, but when I travel with gear I use those small TSA locks, and it'd be perfect to clip around that theft deterrent loop and the zipper pull. 😁

[@dunnadidit]

That’s a good call!

[@EricStumper]

What an amazing review 🥰 Thank you so much. This might be the travel backpack of my dreams... If it weren't for the always too small bottle pockets 😭 Do photographers not drink anything while hiking? I always carry 2 to 3l of water in addition to any equipment when going out for 10 hours in 30 degrees Celsius. Maybe others don't need to drink 😂 at least manufacturers give me this feeling.

[@dunnadidit]

That’s a great point! I know there are some bags out there with water bladder pockets if you want to go that way. Or the Shimoda action line has really nice flexible pockets that allow for bigger bottles

[@dialaneog715]

The trick is to go together with someone else that has two large bottle holders and then complain about the single small holder on your own bag... you wouldn't need any bottle holders if you don't carry the bottles ;) Without kidding, it's kinda weird this massive bagpack doesn't have a proper bottleholder, bit of a miss.

One thing I wasn’t a huge fan of in the first version of this bag was the curve at the top that would make the bag too shallow inside to fit any lens or body. It’s hard to tell from the video but does it do the same on this bag or is it more squared off?

[@dunnadidit]

It still does slightly curve but the 35L is so deep that it might not be an issue for what you’re talking about.

Loved (and still loving) the original version. This version makes me excited because of the upgrades. The original one was already great value. It's funny you're complaining about the things that were improved from before (I don't disagree, all are valid to say), but I'm just happy about PGYTech improving this. Also, their customer support is a bit of work but they do try. And the lifetime warranty is great to see.

[@rkjelseth]

Hey man! I'm also a tripod and water bottle kinda guy! Looking for something to replace my 32 L peak design though. Do you have any recommendations? I've looked at several good ones, but often comes with only one side pocket!

Some amazon reviews say the straps just tear down after some use. That plastic clip that attaches those shoulder + hip straps - is really weird. I also see Manfrotto using it. It could not handle the weight of the bag, man. Sounds like a major risk to your equipment

Does the Nikon z9 would fit in the bag? It has to have a depth of 15cm because the z9 is 15x15cm and in my original onemo1 it’s too narrow, especially with a MacBook inside the bag 😢 Would nice to hear some answers, also from other 35L users ✌️

[@hans_mods]

Very detailed and fair review! I’m definitely not a fan of the tech look but it does seem functionally well done. My big concern of these tech-looking camera bags are the comfort(PD I’m talking about you). How does it feel when you fully pack it and go for a hike?

[@dunnadidit]

I have had a good time with the comfort of this one, I load it up and walk for 2 or 3 hours with minimal discomfort compared to other bags that I’ve used.

The OneMo og was really bad. The straps were horrible and dug into my shoulders. I wonder how much better the new straps are. Also the fact that their own bags don't fit their own Beetle quick release clips baffles me. How do you design 2 products that should work together but can't?

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for sharing! I assume you’re talking about the beetle not working on the first version right?

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@dunnadidit Yes the Beetle barely fits the first version. I struggled to put it on and even then I had to place it in a position that digs into my shoulders on top of the hard/sharp edges of the straps on the first version. I used it once and decided to sell it. I've had cheaper backpacks by Vanguard that carried heavier loads with no issues.

[@brandong4624]

for you and your workflow, would you pick this or the 41L wandrd prvke? personally i like the expansion on the roll top expanding the height of the bag (on the prvke) rather than the depth (like the pgytech) - just bought a wandrd prvke so hopefully it works out

[@dunnadidit]

For me, the PRVKE would win this battle for its versatility. Pretty much exactly what you said. I like the flexibility of height over thickness.

[@deerock7]

I own the PRVKE 41 and I can't say enough good things about this bag. The versatility along with the roomy interior just wins in my book. You'll love it.

[@chrisnelson2770]

Just bought this bag and I've got one huge issue with it. The capture clip and water/tripod are on the same side of the bag, so it puts all the weight on that one shoulder and makes the bag really uncomfortable. They should have allowed us to put the capture clip on either shoulder (so it doesn't interfere with the phone pocket), or put the water bottle pocket on the opposite side to balance the weight better Also, the sternum strap doesn't have a buckle to quickly undo it which is really frustrating for utilising side access quickly. Not having the sternum strap on makes the bag significantly less comfortable

[@ChristopherCanada]

[@g.ortizd]

For personal item on the airplane below the seat is better the 25l?
