The suitcase handle is still stuck. It's been 3 days...

[@LugiaProphet]

A shame. Tried to "un-stuck" with a sledgehammer or with pizza? It both works in the same (convincing) way. Greetings from Germany once again!

[@TheMadkozzie]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😁

[@CymBan]

Hahahaha

[@loufonolleras5544]

Jim, what is the black bag with the funky red handle? Thanks!

[@deej807]

Hacksaw? Or just pretend that it’s supposed to stay out all the time.

[@tubadylan]

You are super witty, interesting, funny, and unprepared. Excellent and terrible. Way to go.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Cheers mate :)

[@Maphoppingmac]

I really like the "excellent and terrible" portion of the comment. Hahahahahahahaha! I love the interwebz and interwebz comments. Good on ya!

[@tubadylan]

Keep up the awful work. It's awesome!

[@jasonhe6947]

I laugh out when I heard the similar story of mine, "a week after that, I sort of gradually learnt that how important the lens is."

[@MeAMuse]

Lighting and background in this video was a big step-up...

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

We're getting there! Hoping to have a studio by the end of the year, a quiet one at that...

[@MeAMuse]

Going to miss the random noise breaks :)

[@steelyscott]

Very helpful video, James! Thank you so much for the info on the bags for us beginners, very helpful. 👍

[@philbrown8181]

James - you beauty!!! The inserts are a stellar idea... I love my 'non-camera-bag' camera... erm... bag, and this suddenly makes what was a constant 'lucky-dip' moanathon into something almost vaguely ordered, allowing me the off-chance of catching a glacier in mid-creep. Thanks!!

[@acrummey85]

Great presentation style, I like it.

[@andrewjditton]

Crackin' as per, Mr P!

[@MrParraPaul]

Haha love your technical terms for everything. Divider things - does exactly as it says on the tin. Great video James!

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@TheMadaz8]

I like the warm tone of your shot and the nice background ! Makes us feel so comfortable haha. Cheers mate. Thanks for this video :)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Thanks buddy! :)

[@kardnails8729]

Man, James, I don't know if it's the new lens, but the lighting and sharpness of this video was awesome. I actually thought you got a new camera, but I guess a new lens makes sense. Also the background is less distracting (inside videos, of course). Keep it up, love your videos!

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Great to know! I'll have to film more like this :)

[@sean1e100]

Best lighting set up and angle you’ve had for any of the videos in your new place in Manc. Top drawer sir 👌🏼

[@dominiquethenosyreader2686]

I love your videos and humor nice bag collection and history

[@martinbuttrick]

Brilliant James so funny!!

[@CrisConstantin]

Man you you revived my dreams and hopes with that suitcase. I love it, I want one...it's not available anymore. Bummer....Great video James. :thumbsup:

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Thanks mate!Should be in a few other spots, although not sure about international...

[@tristanjacobs6003]

Love the fact that you also include your failures in your video's! Hilarious!

[@benstorr]

Soooo good. In fact this may inspire me to do a "my laptop bag history" video...but but then I realised it would consist of x1 Sainsburys bag for life.

[@LittleTipple]

I’m so amazed you’ve still got all your bags! I seem to “donate” mine to other people, or actually donate to charity as soon as I get a new one, although that sometimes backfires... your video really made me miss my crumpler bags though...

[@bossthefluff]

Your PD backpack swing issue is easily solved. Below the locking brackets on the shoulder straps are small loops. Attach an anchor to each loop for easier grip. Just before you swing the backpack around pull on the loop to loosen the strap slightly, i.e. make it longer. It'll then be much easier to swing around. As you loosen the strap, you also have much more flexibility in positioning the bag in front of you. It hangs a little lower on your chest, which makes for much easier access to gear. I typically wear my pack high. When I need to access gear, I pull both loops to lower the pack evenly, and then swing around. It took me five minutes to figure out a smooth and efficient way. The main trick was to attach the anchors, which simplified quickly finding the loops with my hand.

[@pardodrummer9144]

Great and funny video! Well done What microphone are you using (in this video and In general)?

[@lims-karen3127]

Thanks for this! I'm looking for a bag now (as a beginner, with back troubles) and really doubting what to get. Easy access is important for me, as well as support. Oh and budget. Still saving up for my first non-kit lens ;-)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Good luck Karen, hopefully you manage to avoid some of the trial and error I've been through :)

[@Catisfat123]

I'm buying that peak design bag!

[@johnmcfarland2055]

I'm at a point with James' videos that I click "like" before they even start as I know they are going to be A) informative & B) funny as hell. Love that new 12-35 f/2.8 lens which, incidentally you seem to have forgotten to add into the description. No worries; I hope you resolve the bag handle....the red is quite attractive & wants to be on show all the time. Ha, ha.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Ahh thanks John! And thanks for the heads up on the lens too! :)

[@ickledotco]

Mama's got a brand new bag! Good vid.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂Thanks!

[@mikeshaw3229]

Nothing wrong with a bag video. I need to buy my second bag and wasn't sure whether to get a backpack insert or a dedicated messenger bag. This was helpful!

[@14596_]

Hi James, love your videos ! Just a thought, what do you think of Fujifilm cameras ? Cheers

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

Ha! This is awesome James. This could be MY story. I wonder if it basically fits any of us who have had serious camera kit through the years..... Or, maybe we are just, mad....

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

I think we might be mate :)

[@roadnotesrv]

Entertaining :), but still a great video and informative. Great channel!

[@iZogAdventure]

Bags of fun 😌

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂

[@ricardorgomez]

Great video. I was just going through my closet thinking how to organize all my bags. I have all but one of my bags. I still use them all. ThinkTank has really been nailing it with style. I bought the Spectral 15 several months ago and love it! I don’t like camera bags that look like camera bags either. The Spectral looks good when I wear a suit or jeans. I can fit all my regular gear easily. My first big and expensive bag I bought is the Billingham 550. Enormous and great if you’re going to be out all day taking photos and also want to take food and sweater/breaker. Amazing bag! Those Brits I tell ya. :-) All I want now is a ThinkTank International v3 and I’ll be set with bags for quite a while. I know. Famous last words.....

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Nice Ricardo, and famous last words indeed 😂

[@Youknowthebo]

As a bag reviewer I can approve of this video ;-) Thanks for this video. Keep up the great work!

[@Elaba83]

Cool video, in the past i was looking aswell for a bag wich i could swing around to swap lenses and went for the Lowepro flipside 400AW. Perfect size for carry-on luggage and with labels removed, it also doesn't look like a camera bag. Its big enough to hold my mirorless camera and 6 lenses + travel tripod inside. I've used it on a 5 months backpacking trip around asia and australia 5 years ago, and still use it to the current day. After 5 years travelling the globe its starting to show its end of its life and am looking into buying the exact same bag again, perhaps the version 2 wich released last year. Might be a good consideration if you are still looking into swing around bags wich are comfartable to hike and walk around with. And anti theft aswell.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

I like the look of those too! :)

[@bert9569]

I'm at the beginning of my photography journey and so far have been using a Timberland Messenger bag ( as I don't have enough kit or time to go and and use it yet), but I now am also the owner, as yet to be delivered, of a Crumpler, never heard of them before, 'inlay pouch'! As always, learning from your mistak... musings.

[@dunnymonster]

Who knew a video dedicated to camera bags could be so riveting 😊 Says a lot about me I guess lol

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂

[@miklschmidt]

I didn't need a bag. I just came here for my Popsys fix. Now i want a ThinkTank Retrospective 30. DAMNIT JAMES!

[@kennypringle4580]

You crack me up😂 I should probably watch one of your videos on a daily basis just to help me to realize that I’m not the only one with issues😳

[@curtis.strange]

I used a minimalist messenger bag for daily adventuring on a 3 week holiday, but ended up with horrible back problems for about 2 months after. I've been sticking to side entry backpacks ever since - no regrets.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Sorry to hear that Curtis, yeah I imagine using one everyday for 3 weeks would do that to me too!

[@accutus]

I like the Topic.

[@gregcooper2719]

Super interesting. As someone who likes walking up mountains and taking my DSLR, ample water, water proofs and food with me I use a backpack and put my small shoulder bag on the top, but not ideal... still on the search for the right bag...

[@marioarias9942]

I have the ThinkTank 30 also ,good bag but I added some foam padding and to all my bags too for extra protection. While carrying the 30 I've had it slip from my shoulder hitting the ground luckily nothing was damaged.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Ooh sounds like a good hack :)

[@marioarias9942]

James Popsys 👍

[@OllieHstock]

James, which bag do you use when you head into the mountains? Surely not the messenger bag :-)

[@terebiomimasu]

Though I don't have any camera equipment or accessories, other than my camera itself, I've always wondered what bag would be useful as a 'camera bag'. So ya, I found this video very helpful.

[@craigb8536]

Just got my email confirming that I bought absolutely nothing. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@RobJorg]

i just noticed that his right ear is slightly bigger than his left,. do like the camera bag with blue, i love blue,.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

It won't stop growing... 😂

[@lylestavast7652]

LOL at the siren... yup, he's at home ! Nice image quality on the lens. Hope you got the handle back down. BTDTGTT.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Fixed it thismorning - score! :)

[@hidekigomi]

Thanks! Since you have Peak Design's.... have you experienced to run into many with the same bag in the same color. Their products, especially the backpacks must have become too popular, I see them everywhere... now it seems Lowepro's bags look more disceet...!

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

I have seen them a fair bit in the last year or so, although I'm not often around lots of other photographers much. I guess it's still a niche product in the grand scheme of things :)

[@NetvoTV]

I already have a backpack, will get a Panasonic GX9 when i got the money, do you think I should get Peak Design Sling bag? Will sling bag really make me lighter and easy to walk around town with?

[@NetvoTV]

If you got other recommendations feel free to let me know, better I can wear on either shoulders

[@alpao74]

The grey divider thing kept appearing... I was in stitches every time

[@jakelarntz]

Man I want that 12-35 2.8 so bad!

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

First impressions are goooood :)

[@jakelarntz]

Waiting for a review ! Stoked for that one.

[@trembichmovingmoments8778]

Audio is fine :-) Enjoyable video once again :-) Got me thinking about my bags and how I can't dicide which one I like better... I use a messanger bag and individual lens pouches sometimes and a dedicated camera rucksack othertimes. The rucksack is more comfortable to wear but to change lenses or store the camera(s) away I always have to put it on the ground. Been thinking about getting one of those "slingshot" bags before but I guess they'll weigh as much on the shoulder as the messanger bag, without the possibility to change the shoulder you wear it on. So the perferct solution to me would be: get rich and hire a caddy 😁 Cheers from Germany Sören 😊

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂 That's the dream mate!

[@Munkaa]

I think I click faster than the light on your videos :D Cheers!!

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

ha, I really appreciate it :)

[@markhou]

Dude please review the g9x

[@Aaliyah01]

Random but serious question... can you by any chance (if you ever do see this and reply) tell me where you got your crumpler camera pouch thing from with dividers in it?? Would love to buy one but can't find it anywhere... thanks

[@alexcarrillo4143]

I used the most common camera bag which it is a retro courier bag cotton canvas bag, very roomy, and had for 3 years.. Although I do have Domke bags for storage my gear....

[@SimonPollock]

Thanks James! -- Simon / thinkTank

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Cheers Simon, fantastic bag!

[@ricdonato4328]

Wow, I can very much relate to owning many bags and carrying tons of gear. A few years ago I realize I do not look like a mule and do not play a mule on TV. Being that is the case (pun intended) I very much cut back on my carry kit. My usual kit is a light meter, film Rangefinder with two lens, 35mm and 50, both lens can fit in my pockets yet I often take the red fanny pack slinging it across my body. Depending on the shoot change to a film SLR, three prime lens, 28mm, 50mm, sometimes the 135mm. Each kit weights less than three pounds (1.4 kg). With either kit if I cannot capture images I need (required) then it is me not the gear. At the end of a long days shoot, hike, client, and the like, my back and shoulders now feel much better I do not feel beat. YMMV.

[@davidcooper6704]

Billingham every time. They are still the best. No noisy velcro and they are water proof. If you have expensive gear then you need an expensive bag (that is what I told my wife). My other bag is a LowePro Flipside 200 which was second hand but as new and cost me twenty quid.

[@ghosface353]

I got both the Retrospective 5 and 7. Bought the 7 first and it was the perfect size for my A7ii with the 55mm, pluss the 28mm, 85mm Batis and the 70-200mm f/4. But it was occasionally too big for me so, I bought the 5 when I didn't want to drag with me the 70-200mm. The 7 is also useful if I want a flash with me instead of the 70-200mm. Of course if I want drag all that gear, plus a flash (or for that matter two), I got the Urban Disguise 40 (2nd itteration I think). That has probably the same space as the Retrospective 7, but it has elastic rooms at the side, which the retrospective don't have, does room can fit a flash. I actually owned the Disguise first, but it has a black laptop back/office look, which I'm not that fan off. Okay if I'm driving around in a car, but if I'm going around a city, I feel the Retrospective series look better. The 7 is actually the leather version, leather pinestone, and the 5 is just pinestone. I both all of these should bags on sale. The only one I haven't bought on sale was my first one, the Mirrorless Mover, which was perfect for my first kit, the A6000, with the Sigma 30mm, 60mm and the kit lens. Then I bought the 18-105mm f/4, and suddenly I could just with the camera with that one, and there was no point of the bag (you can always carry the Thinktank raincover in your pockets, and put your camera in it if it rains). I do have a Lowepro bag for hiking, but I don't like the design of the insert.

[@uglyigor3055]

ok ok ok. Just one important question....you say "Rucksack" in the UK for a backpack?

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Weird, I know... 😂

[@dalej9868]

James! Could you do a quick, Popsys spec HDR process. Recently started some bracketing with mixed results. Process before merge? 1 stop either way? 2? LR or PS? Be super handy. Cheers.

[@dalej9868]

Sorry, I know you hate processing videos but it's an excuse to go up a mountain and play around for a video...

[@colinire15]

Can't understand why only 494 likes James. Love your videos and sense of humour. Keep it up the good work matey. :-)

[@slhibbs]

I've got this old bag had her for 22yrs now :-)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂Sounds like a good team!

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

Comment spree! (Not really, only my second xD). Thank you so so much for this video! It has answered so many questions I didn't even know I had before I watched it. I've been looking, briefly, at options but I disliked most of them. Either due to size restraints, or price. I didn't know that I most likely don't want a camera looking bag; as you also mention. I'm using an Eastpak, which isn't great - But it might become much more suitable with a small handy case for my cam and kit.. Currently I'm using a "spare bag" from my Blue Yeti headset lol But you are right (to some degree)! A bag should be able to fit a lunch - I'm just so fortunate I have a bunch of plastic containers I could use when I'm out of cling film hahah

[@everydayracing233]

Great video as always James! I have a ThinkTank Retrospective also :-)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Thank you, and niiiice :)

[@GjPeddy]

Perhaps you could loosen the shoulder straps a bit before swinging the pack around to the front? Maybe that would make it easier...

[@chryseass.5143]

And what did we learn- hmm, maybe purpose designed camera bags are the way to go! We can all relate to this quest!

[@moke1310]

I have some great bags (mainly Lowepro) and NO bag does what you want. it just can't carry the kit you want to carry, and NR headphones, passport etc. for on a plane and a bit of room for clothes. They are all a compromise. And I know - travel light but it seems daft to have a range of lenses to do the jobs and leave them home for a super zoom with all the travel photos waiting to be taken.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Compromise is definitely always the struggle :)

[@TonyNeat]

The biggest challenge I've encountered so far in photography goes a little something like this. Buy shiny new bag, take said bag home, open it and find the positioning of the dividers will not accommodate any of my stuff. Proceed to rip all the dividers out (because there's nothing more satisfying than the sound of ripping new dividers out and it's a good workout) then stare at the huge mountain of velcro hell for several hours and wonder where the f*** they all came from. Struggle for hours trying to arrange them just how I want. Find there is no arranging them just how I want. Wonder how to put them back as they were originally. The Photography Show is fast approaching and my enthusiasm is dampened knowing I may be going through all of this again very soon 😆

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

I know that chain of events only too well Tony 😂

[@sh8736]

Ditto ! Will see you at the show then 😀 Last year I challenged a bespoke designer to produce a bag I could take to a black tie do and not look like a camera bag. Most evening bags fit only a phone, lip stick and credit card.... totally useless. Friend who runs a gift shop told me they were getting better by which she means the hold the newer larger style iPhones ( sighs...)

[@SebastianBevanPhotography]

You got more bags than my wife got shoes, cracking video chap :-)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂

[@NotEmilyInParis]

Picture this. Paris November 2019. A Sunday evening. Here's me watching a video about camera bags. Still, it's miles better than Last of the Summer Wine which is the last time I watched UK TV.

[@captainianr]

Oooffff. Pro lighting?

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

ha, it's only taken a year of making videos - you wouldn't know I'm a photographer would you!?

[@chrisklugh]

Good video: Moral of the story, don't buy cheap bags your going to need to replace later anyway. Try to think about your needs first, then find the right bag. In my experience, I have 3 bags: Small, Medium, and Large based on the activity. I invested into getting good ones ($500) so I don't have to buy another one for a long time. :)

[@WhiteWulfe]

It was definitely nice to see you go over all the various bags you've had over the years... I'm having fun looking for a "proper" one right now myself... The AmazonBasics sling bag works (sort of), but it sure isn't all that comfy, and it rocks all over the place, fairly badly too once you put two camera bodies into it.... As for the word you were looking for, most call those thingies "camera bag inserts". Since you're rocking ThinkTank, any plans on giving some of the gear from their sister company a try? MindShiftGear. it's stuff specifically aimed at those being out and about outdoors and whatnot (aka active people who want good gear, and/or people going out into the middle of nowhere in a forest, on a mountain, etc)

[@stankmt5016]

What is that suitcase called?

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

From a company called Calumet :)

[@stuartjohnson1238]

Can relate. After trying different setups you start to realize there probably isn't a "perfect" camera bag...

[@theondono]

You are having issues swinging the peak design because you are supposed to pull from the tab on your shoulder first to open the strap.

[@gogovitch66]

jup, like the look of the new lense :)

[@GiuseppeMilo]

Mate really???? The Peak Design Backpack is the perfect camera bag! :D :D Also good luck with the Think Tank velcro... after a few weeks it didn't work anymore :( great bag but such a disappointment.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

ahh sorry to hear that. Mine's holding up but I guess we'll see. I still enjoy the PD, but personally I've not found anything perfect yet :)

[@GiuseppeMilo]

James Popsys yeah I guess it's very subjective but for the moment I'm very happy with it. Great video anyway keep up the good work.

[@davidsteer7922]

Was this video jump cut heavy?

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Sorry David, my bad!

[@davidsteer7922]

Keep up the good work BTW!

[@marcusnz232]

As an extension of your beginner's mistakes video, let me add the beginner's mistake for camera bags. It took me a long while to accept this but...bags you transport your gear in from place to place (or, usually in my case, country to country as carry on) are invariably no good at all as working bags and likewise, working bags are usually poor transport bags.

I have the 20L Version of the EDB. Much easier to swing around!

[@MichaelTapel]

The background somehow made me assume you're in Japan. The most annoying thing for me to carry is the tripod, in most times I either leave it at home or at the car.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

haha, nope, just grey Manchester. And me too, tripods... grrr!

[@kitbentley3809]

I loved and then hated the Peak, and sold it. Now using the Wandrd Pryvke and its bloody fantastic! Check it out if youre looking in the market James ;-)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Cheers mate! Love/hate exists with all photography purchases I find :)

[@dozerjohn]

Finding a perfect camera bag for yourself is sooo much harder than finding a proper camera. It is hell, total hell. I still can't find the smallest possible rainproof bag for my X-T 10 with kit sized lens. They are either way too large or way too small and mountaineering photography demands minimalist designs.

[@AndySnap]

Bags bags! I've been through countless bags, a video would have to be a series longer then Coronation Street... My next might be a ThinkTank Retrospective...

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

😂I hear you Andrew!

[@andrewp7002]

I've had a Retrospective 5 for years, great bag. Even with a heavy camera and lens in, it's very easy to carry. I will get a bigger one, though, after seeing this great video. I think I'm going to give up buying cameras and just collect bags! Domke is my usual carry-around one. Two others are Tamrac shoulder bags. They are lovely but have one serious flaw - the strap on the buckle doesn't expand, so you're limited as to what you can safely fit in them.

[@pshulzi7717]

You're very funny. I like you^^

[@DS-cf1zc]

This made me laugh, the only swinging you would do with that huge monster bag, has naff all to do with photography. I use a backpack provided by a well known camera seller for my DSLR needs, so lenses, bodies etc.. done weddings out of it and what have you. I use a Billingham Hadley small for my small Leica kit, and this manages that with filters and other stuff easily. Pissed my sides at the secondary camera angle.. sort of thing I would do.. lol.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Cheers Dave, never owned a Billingham - they look like works of art, a perfect fit for Leica gear :)

[@DS-cf1zc]

They are works of art, but Billingham as a company have awesome customer service, and I can get my ageing D300s and a lens in it if I need, so its not all Leica, Fuji, or Sony orientated.. I love it, weather proof, stylish, durable and above all else awesome in use.

[@bobk4438]

I had to look up what "quid" meant.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

haha, sorry - I forget that's slang :)

[@alexcarrillo4143]

And that comment of the city cars, their was and ad before this video, they are a pain when they roam my city of San Francisco so sorry James, continue.....

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Soft orange interior and ribbed... Just like my girlfriend! =D

[@KeithTomlinsonPhoto]

See now my other half says cause I have loads of bags that I have a bag fetish. I don't agree, every bag has a purpose. Glad to see you feel the same and glad to see you don't spend a fortune on bags either - function over brands. Great stuff. Doesn't the messenger bag hurt your shoulder or back after a while?

[@csaszi1986]

It dipends on the padding, but you can always switch schoulder :D For everyday use i prefer messenger bagds, however if you are going for a hike, you might need the backpack. I had a horrible mesenger bag from cullmann.. it's strap was poorly designed and irritated my neck in 0/24... so.. whatever you are looking for, try it on first with some weight added to the bag first.. :)

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

ha, absolutely Keith! Yes for me the messenger bags come unstuck if you need to carry a lot of water or a heavy tripod. For scouting missions they're perfect though I find :)

[@KeithTomlinsonPhoto]

James Popsys fair enough. I carry and em5 MK2 and have an Olympus trip 35 and am considering the Peak Design 5l as an everyday bag. Are you going to the Photography Show in March?

[@geoffreybarss273]

It's funny, isn't it, how tricky it is to complement the camera and lenses with the right bag, right camera strap, right tripod, etc.?

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Absolute nightmare!

[@Jarymut]

"Slow news week" :D 2018 was great. 2020 sucks!

[@poundedclown]

Really liked the look of the peak designs bag until I checked out the price £230 geez lol maybe not

[@drfdwf392]

They are called "camera insert".

[@renaissance6745]

SPLAT DE GREBO !!!!!!!!! STONY ATCHHILE

[@floriang1980]

ok, got you,... please ignore my comment on the other video about the backpack :)

[@andrewbaxter9395]

5.50 Ribbed....for your pleasure 🤣
