5.11 cams 3.0 the ultimate 190L rolling carry all - Review! (Best airsoft kit bag ever?)

The 5.11 CAMS 3.0 is the latest version of the legendary "Carry All My Stuff" rolling duffel. A loadout bag I have been wanting to replace my old setup with for a long while now. I finally pulled the trigger on it and here is my overview and opinion on this outstanding piece of tactical luggage!
"Picture the CAMS™ (Carry All My Stuff) 2.0, yet stronger, tougher and more versatile. 5.11’s CAMS 3.0 lives up to the reputation of the ultimate large deployment bag or travel companion. This beast has a PE support board and withstands high impacts in extreme environments. With multiple, secure compartments and pockets, you can safely transport everything from documents to your armor to your rifle - all kept in place with skid rails for support and load displacement, and removable fiberglass rods in the molded side panels. Pack up and roll out. The CAMS 3.0 can handle it." - Product description from 5.11

I actually used this bad to fit all of my uniforms/boots/clothes + a fair bit of gear and personal items on a recent PCS move from Ft.Bliss to Germany! Even with pretty much everything I owned inside it, the weight was still decently manageable lugging around. Definitely recommend this bad for all my military folks out there 👍

[@komokolo4977]

PCS’ing to Germany and just picked this up for this exact reason haha, glad to hear your testimony.

[@mike-cs6he]

Thanks for this review man. No BS or drivel... and man... what a bag! Cheers 👊

[@adminairsoft9350]

lol was shopping around and found this. great review man, will look at picking one up thanks to you!

[@chassoto]

Great review! You know your stuff.

[@nicholaspookia9985]

after a few years... Finally ordered one :) Excited :) :)

[@nicholaspookia9985]

@Kingsley Orion over all i returned mine not as useful as i was thinking...

[@Warkeds]

Excelent video! I just bought mine because of Magaz!

[@caltari]

I'm in the same camp; photographer and rifle shooter. I need this.

[@carlseddon2392]

Just bought one, been thinking about it for two years

[@kingcatnip2614]

Great video ! , I actually just ordered this bag after watching this video about a week ago , it stuck with me haha . I'm here in America and your video was very useful and I found it funny cause I'm actually getting this bag to carry my daniel defense mk12 and armor for my range trips so once again your video is very useful to me haha thanks man !. Take it easy and stay safe my dude !

[@ChristopherBong]

That is huge! Great review btw 👍🏼

That’s what she said!

[@magaz]

About the bag of course...

[@ChristopherBong]

magaz HAHAHAHA!

[@Colorado-Tinkering]

I was looking for a good review of the CAMS 3.0 when I ran across Captain Tacticool here. More guns!!!! I’ll keep looking

[@magaz]

Waiiiit… I’m Captain Tacticool?

[@specialcookday]

I will wait for evike to have it in stock and wait until it goes on sale for amazing price.

[@hardstones17]

Man, I just ordered a B3 Hercules Duffel from Eberlestock. Wish I saw this beforehand but I am sure the quality of 5.11 versus eberlestock's is day and night in Eberlestocks favor so I am still happy with my purchase. Knowing this is an option though I may get one to have some day!

[@DrZalt]

You are not wrong, with that said. I still rock my CAMS 2.0 that I picked up in late 2013. Been with me on many travels, Still going strong so it is not all garbage.

[@bricktop9527]

Na erbelestocks not as good design

[@spellerlittlewing]

Excellent

[@OperatorBanditAirsoft]

It’s what I need thx

[@AnvilAirsoftTV]

Hmmmmm very tempting. I could do with a big gear bag for weekend events and filming. Plus I could attach all my useless uk issue pouches to the inside for organisation.

[@magaz]

I'd definitely recommend it! if a pouch is useless it just means you have to buy something new to put in it... Since recording this review I have noticed one issue though. When it's full. There is no way it's going up stairs anywhere with me. Massive downside seeing as my local is two floors up :)

[@CitadelDefense1]

Hopeful. Thanks.

[@ieric210]

Could be good for a one week family road trip and carry an AR in case SHtf

[@airsoftweekend6183]

that's what i call a bag for life.

[@magaz]

I’ll probably not take it on the tesco run though...

[@Multilive1000]

How is it when you carry it trough the mud? Are the wheels holding up when doing that?

[@magaz]

I couldn't really give an honest answer about mud, the closest i've had to mud is cobbled streets. It wasn't too bad on those, a little bumpy, it's been bounced up and down curbs, crossing roads and the wheels are holding up fine.

[@FloridaBikeVlogger]

want/need 190L of freedom!

[@AT-ki8jz]

Can I roll this on a hiking trail though? Will the wheels handle outdoor terrain?

[@magaz]

The closest I’ve got is cobbled street, it was a bit bumpy and Conan be easy to tip over going up and down curbs, especially if it’s full full. It depends how rough the terrain is, it would be a challenge. But the wheels should be tough enough to handle it.

[@yoinky]

Do you think this will fit in the trunk of a standard 4 door sedan car like a Honda civic or Chevy cruze?

[@magaz]

If it's any help, it can fit in the back of a Fiat 500 with both the seats down... (I had to throw it in the back of one I was driving while my car was being worked on)

[@THEfrostyKID]

Hey mate; does the bottom compartment have the ability to zip ALL the way off at all?…

[@magaz]

No, the bottom unzips on three sides, but remains firmly attached. It would be a great idea to have it be able to zip off and use as a separate bag though!

[@gamernick1533]

As much as I crave this bag, I just can't justify the price right now, my pockets are still burning from laying out for my MARS. Are there any similar bags out there that act as holdall and AEG case?

[@magaz]

To be honest, I’m not really sure. I was holding out on buying this thing for years. It was always one of those “one day I’ll say duck it and buy it” things (dick was an autocorrect. Made me laugh so it’s staying) in all honesty I’m still trying to justify the price to myself. If I’d picked it up pre Rona, it would have had a lot more use and have started to justify it being millions of monies... still love it though!

[@gamernick1533]

@@magaz appreciate the response, I'm glad I bought my gear during rona knowing what I was getting into, my brother bought in just as lock down started and waited months to play with the new toys lol. I've looked all over and just can't find anything quite like it. Even looked at areas that might have something similar like from fishing and photography gear. The closest I can' find that could be adapted arr lighting rig cases. Just want to be able to hold my rifles, clothes, PPE and plate carrier, wouldn't have thought it would be such a rare type of item!

[@kieranmurphy7418]

@@gamernick1533 Look at some of the extra Large Mountain Warehouse holdals, im certain that can hold a rifle, helmet, vest, clothes, sleeping bag.....

[@PuyiWuyi]

Whats it like actually pulling along as a trolley? As it has no extendable handle?

[@magaz]

It depends how tall you are and how heavy you have it packed. I’m 5’4 and fill it to the brim. I find dragging it with both hands behind me is the easier for the weight but it does clip my heels more often than trying the one handed drag method. NB tactical has just released their take on this bag that has an extended handle. I’m not 100% on whether having the handle would help drag it if it is filled to capacity though

[@DuWayneMorris]

if you had to replace the wheels, where do you find them?

[@magaz]

I’d probably try contacting 5.11 directly

[@ankitkalsi.]

Which colour is this bag which you reviewed?

[@magaz]

Coyote

[@nark6804]

What colour option is the best?

[@magaz]

It depends on what you are trying to match it with. I chose coyote as that’s my general rule of thumb when I’m buying a new bag. Kind of goes with everything

[@alfredogarcia219]

Is this the same size as the 2.0 bag

[@magaz]

I can only guess that it is. I don’t have the details though, so don’t quote me on it

[@FloridaBikeVlogger]

does it have a burst rating on it?

[@magaz]

I didn’t read anything about a burst rating, I’ll have a look

[@FloridaBikeVlogger]

@@magaz no worries, i am sure it has a good rating. I am going to get one forsure. just not sure where I will actually store it but I got to get my crap off the floor. thx for the video.

[@johan.ohgren]

Can it fit a fullsized musket?

[@magaz]

What is the length of a full size musket?

[@johan.ohgren]

@@magaz mine is apr. 124 cm

[@magaz]

I don’t thing so then, from memory I’d say you’ve got about 100 cm at most to play with. I’ll double check though

[@jord7011]

is the bottom detachable?

[@magaz]

The bottom unzips about three quarters of the way around to allow access to the rifle storage. It isn’t fully detachable.

[@jord7011]

@@magaz thats a shame, it would be good to have both options, maybe when they bring out a new model it will be an option

[@lxxs3v3nxxl]

Can this be checked on a plane?

[@magaz]

I haven’t personally taken it on a flight. But when I was looking at buying it I read a couple of reviews from people who said they have checked it. The only issue being it’s fairly heavy even when empty. So bare that in mind

[@Stew_Pid]

I just wish it was all around 5-6 inches smaller so it wouldn't be considered oversized for planes. It's around 65" and the limit for the US is 62."

[@magaz]

my wife said the same thing... wait, what are we talking about? Haha yeah, I agree, it is massive. It’s wider than the boot of my car... if I want to take it anywhere I have to put the back seats down!

[@Stew_Pid]

@@magaz I mean, that's saying something if you have to open and make more space to get it into the back. My condolences to your wife.

[@summerlinpublic5673]

It is only 57.. not over sized.?

[@blitznone1142]

Haha. NERDS

[@pixelpusher1393]

Interesting item and great review! Two questions, if you don´t mind: Those carbon rods which initially come loosely inside the bag, are they absolutely necessary, or can you load out the bag without them, too? And is it possible to get more dividers for the main compartment than just those two - maybe from a different party than 5.11?

[@magaz]

The rods are just there to give the back a little more rigidity. I would say it's entirely feasible to use it without them. I haven't looked into dividers before, A quick googs gives me a bunch of results on case dividers that are a similar design. You could look into camera bag dividers too. They are a similar design, usually a little more flexible with velcro edges.

[@pixelpusher1393]
