WANDRD PRVKE 21L | my 4x5 film camera bag and everything in it!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I get asked about this bag in almost every video - I have used it in blizzards, thunderstorms and never had any issues. Glad to see it getting some love!

90mm SA gang! Rise up!

I got the Wandrd Prvk 31 and it's just the best bag I ever had for Airplane travel. Even tho it's completely packed it's so easy to get out the notebook, Ipad, and camera for Security control. Just makes me happy every time. Also Perfect for carrying around my RB67. There are pretty solid Mounting straps to mount stuff on the back of the bag - I use those for mounting my tripod (which is around 3 kg - so really heavy). What I do is just slip the tripod with two legs through the handle closer to my body (sorry not a native English speaker so don't know how to explain that better) to support the weight there and then tighten it to the bag with the straps so it doesn't swing around. So far this has been a pretty solid setup.

I wanted to get one for my RB67 and 2.k g tripod. Because the shoulder straps are attached to the back panel, below the zipper and not attached to the main body of the bag, I was scared that all that weight would "pull" and ruin the zipper. I guess from what you are saying, it won't.

Exactly the review I was looking for from one of my favorite, trusted creators. Thanks!

[@sarahstellino1954]

That geared tripod head looks amazing! I really would like to upgrade mine. I use a ball head and I agree it’s pretty clunky. Thanks for the shout out! Love seeing you get back into large format!

[@jimwlouavl]

I have the same legs and geared head. They’re great.

[@sarahstellino1954]

@@jimwlouavl I have an old inherited manfrotto, so I will have to see if they’re compatible!

[@GreggObst]

The BTZS hoods are great. I have them for 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 but I would absolutely recommend using the 5x7 model on the 4x5 to avoid the issues you were seeing.

[@andreasschroder7880]

Great bag! I bought the 30 liter version back in 2018 and haven't regretted it yet. Very good for travel and it can handle a lot of abuse.

[@JustinCarf]

Great looking bag. I love the “poor choice of words” outtake because I thought that when you said it. Keep it moving and keep up the good work. 🤘🏽😂

[@mattanderson354]

I see a number of people loving the geared head option in the comments and while I agree that the mach 3 and GD3WH are probably the best combo I've ever used (1 year of use and ownership) I ended up downsizing to the travel angel (FTA28C) and a standard ball head (V1E) and couldn't be happier. I am absolutely in no way, shape, or form insinuating that you should follow suit with this random viewer's decision, but I thought it was worth putting out there that if you travel and hike with your gear frequently and over long distances, the mach 3 and GD3WH can be frustratingly large and heavy to travel with. This is especially true if you are trying to keep you luggage to carry on only. While ball heads can be annoying, the V1E has great resistance control and it's been fine in my experience for precise movements. As good as the geared head? No, but plenty good enough and worth the size, compactness, and weight savings. Do I miss the geared head? Sometimes, but not often. Different gear works for different people so it's all about what you want/ need, but maybe this will offer some helpful insight to someone like myself! A note: I have put everything from my Olympus XA to a Pentax 67 and most regularly my 4x5 system on the Travel Angel/ V1E with no issues. Happy photo taking all!

A self-timer cable release. 😮 never seen that before.

[@toddkorolphoto]

Dude, great set up!

[@jiml989]

Questions: I have a WistaSP which is 7.1 x 7.8 x 5.7 (with tripod foot). 1) I'm wondering if your bag is deep enough to fit the camera? 2) I carry exactly what you carry but have 3 lenses (90,150 210). Do you think you could get all 3 in the bag comfortably? Definitely want more 4x5 videos.

[@itsjonathanwade]

YUP. Love that bag. I've had it for a few years and holds up amazing.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

Nice setup well organized… the Benro head is a must for 45 camera and easy to use. Yes, I would like more 45 content. Try to get a Graflex type back adapter and you can mount the SL2 to the Chamonix…way cool! I have a adapter for my Fuji GFX and the fun is great. Be safe man, Cheers.

[@ConnorMcGaffey]

UMMM Self timer shutter!? Buying one of those immediately! Great video as always!

[@duriezromain3783]

Hi Matt, many thanks because I've been looking forward to buying that bag for two weeks but I was still hesitating a bit. I'm gonna go fort it ! By the way, you forgot to mention the secure pocket at the bottom on the back of the bag for wallets. Useful review anyway !

[@morrisbagnall2690]

The PD clip is awesome! Love mine.

[@charliebrown339]

I bought this geared head after fighting a ball head for about 18 months with my 4X5 cameras. Now I even use it with my medium format and 35mm cameras.

[@yunipena]

I need to get myself a geared tripod head. I have the F-2 and it's amazing. Have gotten some of my favorite portraits with the camera.

[@nageshwagh2476]

I have the same tripod for my sinar P2. Love it

[@gstpierre69]

That ccs hat brings me back

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

BTW, where did you get that timer? Looks a great accessory!

[@horaciomillan4181]

This backdrop is great.

[@toulcaz31]

Cool stuff! Maybe a lens spanner tool can get handy if it gets loose.

[@ryanbelk]

Dang. That bag looks amazing.

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

I used to use that bag as well for 2 years. Such a cool looking backpack but I always disappointment with zip 😢. I shoot 35 and 120.. but probably will shoot 4*5 soon, right..?

[@AdrianHolmesPhotographyCanada]

Love your channel. I just acquired the Minolta spot meter f. Same one you use for 4x5 photography. I can’t seem to find a user manual and/or video tutorial on how to use it to its full potential. Do you have any advice? Thanks Adrian

[@NickSmithPhoto]

Interesting bag, I’ve been looking for a smaller rucksack replacement for my 4x5 setup, but I worry about my shoulders as that KINDRD doesn’t have hip support. If you’re interested in getting a 90mm, I have some images on my Ilford Ortho video on my channel. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@craigfouche]

Do they have a bag for 8x10 to pack the same gear as you have for your 4x5 Matt? 8x10 bags are few and far between.

[@sarahstellino1954]

They don’t unfortunately! Would be amazing if they came out with one though

[@craigfouche]

@@sarahstellino1954 maybe Matts guy is listening... 🙏🏻

[@Zetaphotography]

Any updates to 4x5 Camera Bags

[@george_edward_]

been trying to get wandrd to do a collab forever now... i should just buy the pack at this point lol but i'll get them i know it

[@Thorpal]

Does someone know if a Pentax 67 can fit in this bag or the 31l version ?

[@jimwlouavl]

Good “tour.” Thanks.

[@kstrohmeier]

I will patiently wait for the downgrading from the over the top tripod video.

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Yeah, that is a nice bag.

[@charliefm826]

That's a nice looking setup Matt. If you don't mind paying for international shipping (from Australia) I do have a Nikkor 90mm 4.5 that I'm trying to sell

[@kevlarnegative]

Its a nice bag with one major flaw. Everything hangs on a zipper. Im too paranoid for that.

OMG, What is that analog self-timer called? I never knew that existed.
