The PERFECT Camera Backpack! - TENBA AXIS V2 Review

[@V1aviation]

Very nice review. I fly a LOT for my channel (no pun intended) and with new handluggage regulations here in the EU i'm looking into a new bag as well. Since i'm out in the field for 10-12 hrs a day i need to have a small compartment for food/drinks etc and it seems the top compartment with a BYOB could do the trick. Still undecided whether I want the Axis 20L or the fulton 16L, but Tenba for sure makes the perfect bag! Oh and before I forget, THANK YOU for actually taking the bag on a plane and showing the fit, not many do that.

[@JeremyWalton]

I for sure had to take it on a plane. I think that can easily be a make or break decision. It's hard to find the perfect back. We all need different things, but I've found Tenba bags check off a lot of things.

[@TheJeffChase]

Nice review, good mix of actually using the bag in the real world, along with showing it off on set. Unrelated question, where did you get those cool maps on your wall?

[@JeremyWalton]

Thanks for the comment. I had fun making this video so I'm glad everything I did paid off. Check out Street Carvings for the maps. I really want to do a wall full of cities. Maybe one day.

Like the way you.lit the bag up to highlight the very dull cammo pattern 😁

[@DWebbTheOldHead]

Great review and video, my man. I believe I’m gonna donate my meager earnings to this very same camera backpack very soon.

[@JeremyWalton]

That would be a good choice. Its been an awesome backpack for me!

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

Solid review. Honest and to the point.

[@JeremyWalton]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@travelexplorer]

I am about to buy a bag this one is in my top 3 I am still deciding but I have a question, how is the zipper area, do they hold (lets say tourist work in the Europe crowded streets, with the bag on the back) how dangerous for someone to open you the bag and grab the laptop, or the side door, how easy is for a thief to get your gear?, that is my only concern.

Great review… thanks

[@lindonfc]

I'm torn between this in the 20L, 20L LT & Lowepro protactic. Need to get my mitts on them. Nice footage of Yellowstone. Keep it up. Great review. Cheers.

[@JeremyWalton]

It’s a tough decision for sure. Thanks! I love Yellowstone.

[@lindonfc]

@@JeremyWalton Thanks for the reply. Yes Yellowstone looks fantastic. I'm from the UK and nearest equivalent is the Lake District. Without the bears thou. 😂👍

[@JeremyWalton]

Just checked out Lake District. I'll have to put that on my to do list!

[@lindonfc]

@@JeremyWalton Yes well worth a visit. Lake Ullswater is a little less crowded than Windermere. Very photogenic. Scafell Pike if your into a bit of climbing. Highest mountain in England. Take care.

[@michellek1376]

Great review! Do you think the 20L would fit under an airplane seat?

[@JeremyWalton]

I personally haven't tried that bag, but if you watch Tenba's video on the Axis V2 tactical backpacks, they say the 20L will fit under the seat.

[@oarnold2900]

I have the 20L. The only time I have flown with it, there was room in the overhead, so up it went. But I feel confident it will fit under most seats (the regional jet window seats' under areas are usually compromised by the curvature of the airframe).

[@playboyrobby5125]

late reply but i travel all the time with it fits perfect even on spirit flights!

[@shawnrudd4234]

😂 you really do love that bag! Seems like a nice bag. Does it provide any crush protection?

[@JeremyWalton]

I do! No crush protection for the backpack. Although I've had zero issues when traveling with the original and V2. All my gear is good to go. My equipment under the plane has crush protection for sure. Tenba has some good options for that!

[@stkuj]

I've been looking at this bag (AXIS V2) for 6 months now LOL. They just introduced the AXIS LT line - thinking that maybe the one to get instead (unfortunately it's only 20L). How you checked it out?

[@JeremyWalton]

Haven't got my hands on the LT line. Looks interesting though. I think 20L would be too small for me if I was only rocking 1 bag. Don't wait too long. Before you know it the V3 will be out, lol.

[@stkuj]

@@JeremyWalton I was thinking that he 20L would be a tad to small for me too. Then, I saw their matching 6L sling (combo with 20L) would be a nice versatile system).

[@diegocaracasfc]

It is small! ​@@stkuj

[@paulgero]

have you seen the new version just launched last week?

[@JeremyWalton]

I did. The V2 LT 20L looks interesting. I wouldn't mind trying that out. Prob too small for my normal bag use, but it's nice to have options.
