Stop buying expensive camera bags. Build your own!

This video came up whilst I was looking for reviews on the Lowepro creator bag before I commit. To be honest I think you've sold me on the Osprey bag too! Thanks for this video Matt.

This video shows how you know your stuff when things go towards outdoor activities. Well done ! A few things for you... "APS-C" means "Advanced Photo System type-C". The APS was a negative film system invented to revive the analog cameras, and give the audience an alternative to the 24×36 mm (also called 35 mm, due to the edge-to-edge width) that would cost less and be somewhat easier to operate. Indeed it was... cartridge, with not film sticking out, dropped into the camera through an opening, then close the camera... then snap your images. But the quality was awful for a simple reason : the negative was half the size of the 24×36 mm ones, and films used were of a lower definition/sensitivity/dynamic/etc. This system survived a few years before being dropped by its own creators. The digital sensors nicknamed "APS-C" have approximately the same size (around 16×24) but new technologies make them excellent. Its nos surprise to find many higher-end cinema cameras equipped with them. In the ARRI range several models are sold over 80000 USD (with no lenses, no batteries, no peripherals),and this says a lot about those sensors. Sublime, when well designed and conceived. Calling them "cropped" is a marketing ideology to let the public think they are of a less quality. Not. At all ! They have some weaknesses, like any tool. I work with such a camera, professionally, and used to work with another with a yet smaller sensor. These are tools, one just needs to know how to use them... that's it. Now a truth, very few would admit : even sensors nicknamed "full frame" are cropped. Because the only full-size sensors are the 20×30 cm ones taylor-made for special purposes, such as science, medical, industry, space,and the likes. They were designed to replicate the quality of "photographic plaques", the ones invented in the early years of photography, and still in use by those who work in architecture, landscape, art and want the absolute best images possible. It takes 10 minutes to set one up, then you change the plaque for the next image, etc. Those are THE ONLY "full frame" images sensors, and they now existe in digital versions but you may never see one in your entire life for they are super rare. No... more than this ! So, unless your camera sensor measures a huge 20×30 centimeters, which I doubt, you know it actually is cropped. Let the others think they have a "full frame" camera, because you now know it's not true and a marketing trap. Then, nice try with the word "accoutrements"... you nearly got it right. One important detail about French words : final letters are muted in 99% of the time. And it stands true for this one, the final "t" and "s" must remain silent. They are (t) the trace of roman roots and (s) the mark of plural form. So... you can try again, with that new skill of yours. 👏🙂

umm ok... first off the French are morons so I am not concerned if I use their vernacular properly.. second of all... not sure why you dove so much into ASPC stuff... I am glad you shoot with whatever... on paid gigs I shoot full frame.

After spending a whole month searching for the bags from cheap to expensive. I landed on your video and you nailed it for me. Some reviewer said similar thing LowePro and other camera brand make bags for camera and fit and comfort comes second. This is what noticed on my long hikes that these bags are not that comfy or at least the one I have but I couldn't find a proper solution to turn my normal backpacks in camera packs and you solved it. Your situation is similar to mine. Smaller camera setup and rest hiking stuff. We don't need ICU and other huge compartments. By the way how did this setup works with Osprey Tallon as I am considering to get that bag for its supposed comfort.

[@YankeeTankerOutdoors]

I have the talon. Worked great. The peak design camera clip is where the camera stays 90% of the time when we hike anyways. I wish camera bag manufacturers would realize how bad their comfort level is with their bag.

[@YankeeTankerOutdoors]

Oh and I love the talon.
