I too had many bags, and still can't find the "perfect" bag. But my most trusted and used bag is the Lowepro Flipside Trek BP 450 AW Backpack. Same idea of two compartments, one for camera equipment and an upper one for miscelanious items as your Shimoda bag, but I think Lowepro did it first. This is the bag that goes out with me in deep snow and -30 C degrees, and also when hiking in the summer months. It has survived everything. Rain, mud, gravel, sand, snow ... And it has kept my gear safe at all times.

I put a large mirrorless core unit (ICU) inside the Shimoda 25L. Yes, it does fits! Spec wise they say you need a 30L or larger. Website even state explicit warning. However, secret sauce is to unzip the top pouch, remove it entirely and insert the core unit (ICU) from the top instead of the usual back panel. Went to Costa Rica with Sony A7RV + 70-200 & 200-600. All of that fits in the large mirrorless core unit (ICU). Bonus was this 25L also fits under the airline seat as a personal item!

I travel with an Osprey non-camera backpack that has 2 wheels and can be pulled. It comes with a front-detachable daypack that can even be worn on the chest, with the backpack on the back, so it’s super versatile. For the trip I pull my extra socks over my lenses, wrap my bodies, and mix it in with clothing as buffer. At my destination I use the daypack only, or the small "personal item" Peak Design sling bag that holds my travel documents, etc., my small Fuji with pancake and a tele. This has basically been my setup for 10+ years. Unfortunately, zippers and stickiness of plasticized parts are becoming an issue, but I’ll never buy bags with useless bulky padding. For everything your bag holds, Omar, I think it’s huge.

Hi Omar, oooh I love this video and like your bag! I have a hard core obsession with bags of all kinds.... Last year I hunted for weeks for a travel bag that would fit under the seat of a plane. I got extremely frustrated in my search because I can no longer carry heavy gear on my back and I had a hard time finding non-back pack travel gear. I'm also 5'2" so with a lot of gear in a backpack, I literally look like I'm strapped to a rocket and you could tip me over easily! So, I ended up getting a cube for my gear which I tuck into a rolling bag that can go under the seat of the plane. It's great because I can also pack in my iPad Pro and a few toiletries. However, if I don't feel like using that or if it's a smaller trip, I use my Tenba Solstice Sling 10L. I love Tenba products - they are SMART! I can fit my Fujifilm X-H2S, my 500mm lens, my smaller X-T30ii, another smaller couple of primes and there's a front pocket for my phone, some cables and a side pocket for a water bottle. The rest of my stuff is checked on a bag in the belly of the plane. Have a fun trip!

I use a Tenba Fulton V2 16L bag for travel. It is similar to this bag with the rear camera access. What I really like about the Fulton is that the top of the bag has an expandable roll top design. I carried a Sony a7iv with Tamron 35-150mm on the camera, 3 lenses and a flash in the camera section and used the top to carry non-camera stuff ie.. jacket and also had an x-pro3 with a 23mm f/2. When the jacket comes out the bag rolls down to a smaller design. I bought the all weather one.

And a tripod on the side. The bag can extend to put clothes or a gimbal. And it comes with a small handbag for a drone or a small camera and lens.

I'm very much into one bag traveling. If I wasn't also a photographer, I could probably go anywhere for however long with a 25l EDC backpack. But given my rather expensive and cumbersome hobby, I tried at least 15 different bags and the only one that is (barely) carry-on size and can fit all my camera gear, my drone and all other travel stuff (toiletries, tech, clothing, laptop) is the PD 45l travel backpack with a medium camera cube inside. I wish the straps had a little more padding, but other than that I love the bag - features, access, materials, zipper feel. And btw not checking a bag is about the freedom of getting to the airport 30 min before your flight leaves, about not having to wait by the carousel to pick up your bag, about not having your stuff delayed/lost; it's not about the cost, because I've spent way more on small & light versions of everyday items, on jackets that pack inside a pocket, on shoes that pack smaller than my dopp kit and weigh 1lb/pair, on all merino wool clothing so it's as light/compact as possible, than I would have ever spent on checking bags. But yeah I can basically live out of this one backpack for 7-14 days (depending on climate), or even indefinitely with access to a washing machine.
@tejraju11 ай бұрын
I have this in black, great choice! I use a tenba BYOB bag instead of shimoda's cube. I turn it vertically & open the flap, so I can still access my apsc-sized gear from the side opening of the bag. And can easily remove it and use it as a shoulder bag during long sessions. Please don't put the 400mm in the bottom; there's no padding! And sometimes water seeps in from the front half pocket zipper, especially when it rains a lot. The 400mm would be separated from the front pocket by a very thin material. But apart from the front pocket zipper, all the other zippers are water resistant; hence the lack of 'smoothness.' The top compartment where you put the lens in the beginning has the water resistant zipper; less chances of moisture.

In preparation for an Africa trip this spring I needed a bag to hold my 17" laptop, camera gear & some items I'd need on the 20+ hour flight that would qualify as an airline carry on. I purchased the Shimoda Action X30 V2 and loved it but it was bit too small for all my gear. I exchanged it for a Mindshift Backlight 36L that fits my needs which has more usable space in the camera compartment & easily fits the laptop. In this case size matters.

Started with a Lowepro Mini Trekker backpack (original version - I think now called Classic) must have had that for a couple of decades or more - at some point I added a Lowepro CompuTrekker backpack - same bag but with a padded laptop compartment now incorporated, for trips where I was wanting to do some image processing while away. More recently I have added an F-Stop 50 litre camera backpack with ICU system, which also has room for hiking gear/provisions or a couple of days clothes for a weekend trip. It has the advantage when flying budget airlines that the ICU with the camera gear and travel docs can always pulled out to take onboard in the cabin and the bag stowed in the aircraft hold if the airline gets picky over space or weight allowances.

In the past few years I’ve been traveling with the Peak Design 10L sling bag. It’s light, easy to fit under the seat, and has a surprising amount of space. The big advantage, however, is that it forces me to make choices. I only have one body (Fuji XT5) and when I had a bigger bag, I would toss in just about every lens I own, “just in case”. Of course, most of them just sat in the bag and became more weight to carry around. Now I have to do a little more thinking about where I’m going and my expectations for the trip, which I think has resulted in better photos. Looking forward to the Costa Rica pictures, Omar. I’ll be there in October for the first time and already planning for which two (maybe three) lenses to take.

My most recent camera bag is the "TASMANIAN TIGER TT Modular 30 Camera Pack" with a molle system to attach stuff to the outside (and inside too). And for traveling there's an additional "Mindshift GEAR BackLight 18L Daypack" here too. I used a Lowepro LP37177-PWW Protactic Rucksack 450 AW II earlier (also with a molle system, but a sparse one) but always hated the round hardtop which wouldn't open easily. Tasmanian Tiger (TT) stuff is used professionally by police and other groups and thus is rugged. Mindshift/Thinktank produce good stuff too, but the TT stuff is even better IMHO.

One thing to consider Omar, at 2:50, that EVF may get brassing if stored like so. Ive got the Action x30 bag and the ripstop material on the laptop sleeve rubbed against my Z6II EVF (due to pressure from my back and friction ) after many hours of hiking. Perhaps Shimoda have changed the material (hard to tell in the video) but i stlll wish the laprop sleeve exterior was a soft material. Otherwise my Shimoda bag has been amazing and hasn't failed me yet in the years I've used it.

I definitely would take the amazon basics bag into a Costa Rican rain forest though. I would use the Lowepro Dry Zone that another photographer gifted to me somewhat recently. I kind of feel like doing a bunch of "whats in my bag" videos with some fellow photographers and videographers. My amazon bag is definitely a blivet .

I like to access my camera on my right side while wearing it on my right shoulder so it needs to be on the left when facing the front of the bag and a lot of bags have it on the right.

I ended up with the Warndrd PRVKE bags (yes, bags 'cause you can't have too many apparently). Three different sizes (had to get the largest when I got the Z9 because she is so dang big). Zippers are annoying; the pull string always seems to be in the wrong location for ease of pulling. Just. Annoying. They are not perfect, but waist straps are easy to install or remove (no fighting velcro) and the top is a roll top so super easy to add stuff to the top of the back. I think they ware a bit cheaper than Shimoda (you're paying for fewer vowels). Not a fan of the dividers in the cases, Shimoda seems easier to use, Wandrd seems thicker and perhaps more protective. I like to store and pack my camera body WITH a lens attached and it seems most bags fit things better if you separate everything unless you go with really large bags. Will these be my last bags? I doubt it. :P

Been using a Shimoda Action X50 bag for a couple of years. My only gripe is the ICU - the dividers are just far too rigid to allow a perfect set-up. So I too have been using dividers from another (Lowepro) bag

Check out the Cosyspeed Camslinger. Maybe an option for Portrait shooting.

I have ThinkTank Retro Backpack. Almost identical design. PS Omar, you would have made an excellent school teacher but lucky us. Those poor damn kids though.
