Unboxing + First Look: Wotancraft New Pilot 18L Camera Backpack

Wotancraft has updated its Pilot travel backpack, and I'm pretty excited to give this one a test drive out in the field. The previous version was a bit too big as an everyday camera backpack, but this new 18L version feels just about right. This is just my unboxing and first look. Please wait for my first impressions video soon as I show how I would actually use this bag in the field while I'm out on the streets of Vancouver.

Beautiful bag... I recently went on an island excursion with my 7L Pilot and hoped I had more space and now looking into the 18L. It's between you and Justin Mott that I got turned onto Wotancraft. Thanks Take.. Also have the 3.5L bag..

[@OGtalks]

Top 5 bag companies for me personally ! I did an unboxing not long ago on the 10L pilot ! Can’t say enough good things about Wotancraft !! Great post BHT !✌🏼

[@bigheadtaco]

Yes definitely in my top 5 for bags. Small family owned brand that hand-makes all their bags in their Taiwanese shop.

[@bosiefoobar]

Now I am curious who the other four are;)

[@pengfeixu4738]

I've been waiting for this video for days... Nice share. but the Molly strings colors on new pilot 18L have changed, it seems better looking.

[@bigheadtaco]

Thanks, it’s a great bag. Slight colour difference, that could be because of different width, or perhaps upgraded materials. I’ll ask Wotancraft 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Tony16610]

I really just wish they did find a way to "lock" the side access, given how prominent they are. I do a lot of travel around SE Asia and when taking public transport or walking down a crowded street- I'm always wary of pickpockets.

[@bigheadtaco]

Me too…..

[@bikecommuter24]

Nice looking Bags, but that looks like the size bag I would take for a trip 😆 I'm sure they are great for that too. Seroiusly they are nice looking camera bags, I remember when I used to carry a LOT of photo gear almost 12Kg at one time that was my DSLR Days now with mirror its around 6kg. I use a way smaller backpack than I used too which was different models of Lowepro and Think Tank Photo. (I'm still using Think Tank Photo bags to this day my current one is from them)

[@bigheadtaco]

Ya, I guess because I review gear, a ‘larger’ backpack works for me

[@ConsciousnessDiscussions]

Is the laptop suspended above the bottom of the bag such that it is protected if you drop the bag? And can you adjust the height of the laptop compartment to make the laptop easier to reach?

[@bigheadtaco]

The laptop sleeve is not suspended unfortunately. This is a good point about height adjustment. I’ll mention it to Wotancraft.

[@AndrewL]

can u put a body attached with a 70-200m on the side ?

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

I just got the pilot 10L but it couldnt fit my sony 200600. I will have to try this 18L, i think it should fit vertically…

[@BolusInfernalis]

Have you tried this yet?

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

@@BolusInfernalis yes, perfect bag for me really. Been using it for close to 1 year now.

[@simonsaysAdventureCalls]

will the pilot 7l fit in the top section?
