The Best Compact Camera Bag? | Leica M11, Q3, Nikon ZF, X100VI, Ricoh GRIII

[@CleverSupplyCo]

Thanks Benj! Appreciate your support! Think you did a better job walking through the bag than I did! 😅

[@koobs4549]

@@CleverSupplyCo why the different material depending on the color choice? Would you consider doing a slate gray, waxed canvas?

[@CleverSupplyCo]

@@koobs4549 fair question! we started years ago with the waxed canvas, both black and Tan. We love them but the black picks up a lot of lint and dust initially so we wanted to try something equally as rugged that would be better on this front with shedding dust and lint.

Can’t find on Clever Supply website!

[@StuartWeir]

Todd, if you’re reading this, you need a bag this size, but with a stabilizer strap (the ones that keep these bags on your back when riding a bike - Chrome bags are a great reference point).

[@CleverSupplyCo]

Good idea, something for us to think about for sure!

[@morninglightphotography]

Backed this project in the first hour. So stoked to get mine!

[@tracyyann.]

I’ve been waiting for a bag like this! Thank you!

[@_parkphoto]

I love it, it’s great to have a larger version of the sweet lil sidekick! Not quite the right fit for me but glad it exists

[@StapediusReflex]

Glad to see my Q43 will fit in the cube with some room to spare. Appreciate the overview!

[@TheAlexRosas]

Getting this to replace my old moment 2L sling. V pumped. Thanks for walking through this 🤘🏼

Been loving your content recently dude!

Appreciate it! Definitely have binged multiple videos of yours as well!

this is for real haha

I backed this project and excited to receive this bag. I have a peak design sling and getting this so I don’t have to switch cameras and just have a dedicated bag for my x100vI. My collection of cameras is nowhere near as amazing as yours but it is nice to just be able to grab and go and not have to empty and refill a bag. By the way, you should have your own line of Clever Supply bags. The “Taken” Benj Haisch edition Sidekick with this quote on the inside “I don’t know who you are but I have a unique set of skills. I can track you, I will find you and sidekick your….” 😊

"Obviously you wouldn't do this with this exact setup. They're both 28 millimeters" Tell that to a guy on Reddit the other day posting his "EDC" that consisted of a Lecia Q2, Lecia Q2 Monochrom, and a Leica Q3...

[@DarrinLin]

🤣 edc reddit is such a meme

[@Buckeye-ish]

Thanks for doing this, I think it will just be a little too small as I tend to overpack

[@ka_sh_iif]

Have you used the wotancaraft portable camera pouch? If so goes did this compare? I find the wontancraft bag to be solid for the Q3 but I would like a little more room. ✌🏾

[@benjhaisch]

I haven't, sorry. I see Justin Mott promoing their stuff a lot and they do look good

[@koobs4549]

Very cool vid Benj. I ended up getting that Wotoncraft bag but I’m not happy with it. I have a Q2 Mono & a GRIII, so seeing how those two cameras would fit was all I needed to back it. I was lucky too, there were only 3 Super Early Bird spots left WOOT!!!

[@FC000]

Looks great! Would love to know if this can fit a small camera like a Ricoh GRIII or X100VI and a Mini 3/4 + RC remote.

[@JJCPhotography]

This is indeed a great and wonderful sharing！！！👍👍👍

[@50cron]

Hi Benj, would this fit a Canon 5D classic with a 40mm pancake?

[@norakonieczny7480]

Great review as always! Have the large and small; gotta have this mid sized one too!

[@jackpatmoreinc]

Great video Benj! Just out of curiosity, how does this compare to the original Sidekick???

[@EswarNeon]

Two weeks ago I was in Paris wearing a fake kislux Chanel bag and people thought it was real. I had a lady compliment me when I was in the Louvre. It was an unforgettable experience.

[@ericjon23]

can you fit the x2d with a lens?

[@benjhaisch]

nope, the body is a little too big. probably would fit with just the 28P but that's about it haha

[@JoeLopez]

This is the Sidekick Pro, right? Nice job!

[@benjhaisch]

Yep!

[@quintonmckimm]

Cool! Your first “check it out” link doesn’t seem to be working for me.

[@benjhaisch]

Interesting, I just checked it and it works for me. I’m not sure :/

[@quintonmckimm]

@@benjhaisch Regardless, I found the right link and backed it! I was so close to buying a similar size bag from another brand but really like what Clever Supply is up to.

[@LMNDZ513]

Very cool...me personally my main concern is the dimensions..the Kickstarter does not have that info..as a 2L..sling..my concern is the depth..measured out my X100VI setup has a filter and a Hoage Squarehood and it makes the cameras' depth around 3"..and the body is 5" long..by the looks of it it will fit..but obviously have other items extra battery, another filter, 1 extra Sd card..phone, gum, pen, wallet?..etc so overall just wanted to know the whole dimensions of the bag? going by the cameras around the bag maybe the bag is 9L x 7H x 4D"? estimated guess haha ... bc after its all said and done yes you will have a camera inside..but then how much more can you actual put inside..when you actual start to put your EDC items....bc past experiences its nice to have the camera fit..but then other brands fail short bc the camera fits well but then it quickly runs out of space for other things even though there are designated pockets/compartments that supposedly you can put inside this bag the camera takes up most of it..and end up having no room for other things....it quickly can get really tight..haha kinda weird Clever Supply doesn't put the actual dimensions of the bag?..so consumers can have a better gauge on what items they can actually put..

[@CleverSupplyCo]

Hey! Technical specs are in the FAQ section! Pasted them here for you. -- Capacity: 2L Dimensions: 8"x6"x4"
Weight: 11oz (with included padded insert) Materials: * Waxed Canvas (tan) or 400D Cordura (Black) - Both weather resistant * YKK coated weather Zippers * EVA foam for structure and protection * Clever Cube padded insert

[@LMNDZ513]

​@@CleverSupplyCo Thank you.. oh just noticed...subtle detail but I guess there is no available like "key attachment" string or cord inside the main compartment?..

[@LMNDZ513]

Benj..wow..the gear on the table..thats what close to $50-65K? total lenses and all..haha

[@benjhaisch]

Haha yeah a few loaners on there

[@qin1992]

I prefer the wontancraft pilot series personally.

[@koobs4549]

I have it but am not happy with it, I feel like they should’ve just made a 5L model. The 3.5L is just too small & the 7L is too big, a 5L model would have been the perfect sweet spot

[@qin1992]

@@koobs4549 I got the zipper pouch and drawstring pouch with 3.5L. This allows me to carry one body, two lenses, Godox Ad860, flash modifiers and some extra stuff. I feel this works better than a 5L bag, but cost more.

[@jasontaycs7195]

I like smaller bags, but do nobody carry a water bottle? I can’t leave the house without one, which means anything smaller than 7L can’t fit my needs.

[@benjhaisch]

Haha even with larger bags I rarely carry a bottle, but I wish I did :)

[@sr.lumbreras8618]

Just buy a bottle when you are thirsty

[@jasontaycs7195]

@@sr.lumbreras8618 That's unsustainable and an unnecessary expense to me. I try not to buy bottled water unless absolutely necessary.

Another inch taller and longer and that might be perfect.

Zippers & camera gear. Not a good combo imo. Better if was a satchel with a flap...
