I was doing some scrambling through some brush, over 300 feet up in the air on a cliff, when the lower zipper caught up perfectly on a branch and almost released my D850 with it’s attached 70-200mm 2.8FL over a cliff, I caught it as it was releasing. 😳 I like the design of the bags, but between that incident, and the straps being not supportive enough, I can’t recommend PD bags for anything other than EDC or casual shooting in the city. I’ve had a PD sling zipper come loose in the middle of a shoot also, thus making me carry my equipment, complete failure. I’ve had the magnetic flap on the Messenger come off while riding my motorcycle. Personally I’d recommend Mindshift for outdoors photography bags, or a real outdoors brand like Osprey or Mystery Ranch. When it comes to casual carry in the city, Billingham. PD is 100% overrated. You know it’s bad when they’re selling them out of Best Buy next to Lowepro (a better brand IMO).

Thank you for sharing this! So glad that didn't happen! I agree, for EDC, around town, and things like that, it will do. But when you have to take a lot of gear, I think it's best to pass on it!

Love how you just shoved your arm into the luggage pass-through as if it's another carry method 😂

I never use a luggage bag like that when traveling so that’s how I use it 😂😂

The worry that something could fall through or fall out is rough to me 😅like you said, lots of other great things about it though

Freaks me out all the time. That is exactly why I don't ever carry all my equipment.

Loved that charcoal color way back then. Still have my 30L from 2018 and it's great! 👌

I LOVED this color. It just so different from black. And I still really enjoyed this bag. I just needed to try something different and see how much I like the side openings vs having to open from the back of the bag with my new one.

@@TheAdamToy Yeah, for me it's rather some kind of an extended office bag with ability to add a small camera setup. They updated their camera cubes last year so you can use the xsmall for the top or the smedium for the sides which is pretty cool tbh.

I must have missed that! That is what I felt was missing the most from this bag!

Let’s goooo! Didn’t know you had a channel bro! I have the bigger version and I’ve never really liked it. I was hyped on it seeing others with it. The shoulder straps don’t stay tight and always loosen up. The inside compartments leave much to be desired. Doesn’t hold the gear in there tightly. Just my 2 cents. Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Subbed !
@TheAdamToy10 ай бұрын
Trying bro! I wanted to practice video more and figure this was a good way to do that! That is another thing I don’t like. I feel like I tighten it up and then after a few minutes it’s slips back down and the gear just moves around in the center compartment.
