MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Review: The Best Camera Backpack?

If you're a landscape photographer who is looking for a new camera backpack, the MindShift BackLight Series should be on your short list. This is my favorite camera bag of all time, and I have virtually no complaints about it. In this video, I explain why I love it so much and take you on a tour of its features & layout.

Good review! I own this bag as well as the 34L version, but your right, the 34L version is a bit too big. I just got the Mindshift "sprint" version, which I really like, it's slimmer, lighter but just perfect for my A7R5 + 100-400 2.8 GM and OM-1, it's best for that quick after work or short 1-2 hour picture taking walk. I also own the Mindshift "Rotation 180" bag, which I also really like, I only wish though they modified the bag so the top is designed with a roll up sleeve (kinda like the shimoda bags) to allow more storage, that way I can quickly access my camera and when I need more room to put my jacket or sweatshirt, etc...I can fit it in the top part of the bag - especially when I start early in the morning but by late morning it's time to remove layers...I can store it more easily. I told a Mindshift representative my suggestion (during a camera store grand opening), he was open to hearing my suggestion, hopefully they will take it to heart! Enjoy watching your channel and I subscribed.

I’ll have to check out the sprint! A friend of mine has the rotation 180 and for whatever reason, I’m not a huge fan of it. A roll up top (or cinch top, like a hiking bag) would be awesome. Thanks for the sub!
