WANDRD PRVKE 41L | REVIEW | My Favourite Camera Backpack just got bigger & better (BMPCC6K Pro Kit)

[@OfTwoLands]

Here is my review of the new Wandrd Prvke 41L. What bag do you guys use ? Cheers, Flo

[@driftwoodpictures]

I'm torn between either the WNDRD PRVKE 41L or the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack. Both of them look great, have you tried the PD, and do you have a preference? :)

[@TheLostKuma]

I like how in all your reviews, you always have a clear concise part about things you dont like as well. Nice bag, nice review, nice video!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much mate !! Really appreciate your positive feedback :).

[@MoseLaura]

I got the 31 because of you and I love it! It's so flexible, suits any situation and is nice looking!

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad to hear !! It really is the perfect bag :).

I've watched SO many of these videos and yours finally sold me. Thank you!

So good !! Need to go back and spend more time there ☺️ xx

[@saxophonicmusician]

I absolutely love Wandrd's products. I was very impressed with the V2 of the Prvke 21 L bag I first bought in 2018 I ended up getting the 31 L a year later, Been using their bags for a few years myself and not have looked back on another bag since. I even ordered their 11 L Prvke lite version for daily carry. Great Review!

[@OfTwoLands]

They are amazing !! We have the Lite as well, my wife loves it. Smaller but still packs so much, perfect for a mirrorless kit !!

[@AndyKunkel]

You're the reason why I got the 21L, absolutely love it. Wish I got the 31L though, but for about 2 years I was able to fit a c100, EOS R, a laptop, 5 lenses, audio, batteries and recording media. Fit much more than was advertised haha. But now I'm tempted to get this one haha. It's just perfect for my needs.

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad to hear :) !! Haha yeah this 41L is pretty impressive, you can fit a lot of gear. Having the 21L and 41L would be a pretty good combo :).

[@AndyKunkel]

@@OfTwoLands They're definitely my favorite brand of backpack. They put so much passion into their products, love it.

[@OfTwoLands]

@@AndyKunkel They really do, such nice people too :) !!

[@FastYou-uu8ck]

You have the 21L with 5 lenses at same time? Which lenses do you have? What about 17-40 and 24-70 and 70-200. Will they fit in 21L with the R and is there room left for additional stuff? Thx

[@AndyKunkel]

@@FastYou-uu8ck here's what I fit in it for the most recent wedding I filmed. EOS R BMPCC 6k pro 35mm Rf Canon 24-70 f2.8 Canon 16-35 f2.8 Sigma 18-35 f1.8 (attached to 6k pro) 24-105 f4 (attached to EOSR with adapter) Rode videomic Case to hold SD cards Samsung SSD t5 MagicRig ssd mount MagicRig top handle (attached to 6kpro) I put the EOSR and unattached lenses in the cube. In the roll top I put the BMPCC 6k pro, rode mic, ssd and some batteries. I put anything extra in the various slots. I'm sure you might be able to fit a 70-200 if you swap out a thing or two. But I would go 31L. Probably not the most efficient way to pack it haha but it works for me. I wouldn't pack this way for traveling, not much protection. Most weddings I do are local to the bag is safe in my car. For audio, cables, chargers, more batteries, I just use a cheap Amazon basics bag I've had for a few years. I plan on getting a bigger Wandrd bag to be more efficient. I'll do a quick vid on KZbin to show exactly how I fit everything.

[@learningcameras]

Hey! Curious how well this fits under an airplane seat if it can or would the 31L be better under the seat

[@OfTwoLands]

Hey, the 31L would be better if you want to fit it under the seat in front of you. I never put mine there though and the 41L does fit on the overhead compartment too :)

[@DrewJMcGee]

Just received my 31L V3(?) Prvke. I've packed my gear and will be taking a trip in a few days. Thankful for your video as it showed the divider flap under the cube, and your confidence in the bag makes me feel better about the price. ;)

[@Youknowthebo]

Another great video. Waiting for my wandrd Prvke lite to review for my channel. Looking forward to see if my bmpcc4k will fit into it easily

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks a lot !! The Lite is such a cool bag, great for smaller kits or for city use. Let me know how you go :).

[@allorientablesurface]

Much better review that other "hilariously funny" reviews out there, thanks.

Great review. I am thinking about using this as my edc/ range bag.

[@nunoparada]

Best review IMO. I got the 31l because of this review. First one btw

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much !!

[@supersnapp]

The design of the handles is perfect, and few bags have the top handles like this.

[@OfTwoLands]

It really is, so handy and practical !!

[@TheEclectic]

Heading to Antarctica next month and I bought the 31L, however after trying to fit my 100-300mm f/2.8 along with two camera bodies and at least two other regular sized zoom lenses, I realized I need the 41L with the Pro Deep. Hoping that it is able to fit all my gear, otherwise may have to revert back to my trusty ThinkTank Streetwalker.

[@riccardoruatasio7771]

Thank you so much for this video! Is very helpful! Great shoots! Well done👌🏻

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you liked it, thank you !!

[@ScottfromCalifornia]

Thank you! Perfect review and comparison

[@OfTwoLands]

@@ScottfromCalifornia Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you ☺️🙏

[@theJon5]

From what I understand, the 41L is the only one that will take a Nikon Z9 or EOS R3 with lens attached. Whereas the Peak Design bags have the depth in smaller sizes. Something to consider.

[@stevelink3]

Have you checked out the Nomatic McKinnon Line of backpacks? I think they make at least one that would accommodate a Nikon Z9 plus lens(s).

[@stevelink3]

Greetings and thank you for this excellent and comprehensive review of the Wandrd Prvke 41L. As a landscape, product, and wildlife photographer, I have the Wandrd Prvke 21L, which I use for hiking with a smaller kit, a Nikon Z7 and NIkkor Z 14-30 f/4 S lens and accessories. For that small kit, the 21L works great! However, for a much larger kit (Nikon Z8 and NIkkor Z 180-600 f/5.6-6.3), I was wondering if you think that the 41L would accommodate that. The problem is that all videos I see of this gear only show cameras with lenses in a horizontal orientation in the cube/bag. The Nikkor 180-600 zoom is 13" long, without the 3.5" lens hood attached. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@mmcsheehy]

I have used the Thule Roll top bag for years, but wanted a better access to the camera gear than the side access and was excited to try the WANDRD PRVKE 41L bag. I bought one in MN at the National Camera Exchange. A week before my first trip with the bag I found that the seems were already ripping. I hadn't even had the opportunity to take it out for a day trip let alone an international trip across the world for two weeks. Because these bags are in short supply I am unable to get a replacement so I had to repair the seams myself. This is extremely disappointing for a bag that costs over $300!!

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

Hi, I'm just curious on 9:27 is that a comparison between the 41 and 31 L?

[@OfTwoLands]

Yes it is :)

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

@@OfTwoLands Awesome, thank you!!! Cheers :)

[@nccontentcreator5142]

Excellent review. Thanks for mentioning the waste belt. Wandrd website shows it but doesn't even mention it. Lame. I think I will get the 31 L

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching !! The 31L is awesome :)

[@attilaishere_barcelona7935]

I think the 41 should carry me, not the other way around :) Do you think the 31would accommodate the 6K Pro with limited accessories? So maybe one more lens, a few batteries, and the EVF on...

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha !! The 6K Pro definitely does not fit with the EVF on in the 31L, it's barely enough with the Essential cube and without the cage. You need the Deep cube for the Pro and for this you need the 41L. If you want the 31L you will have to detach the EVF, which takes 5 seconds but can be annoying of course. It just because of the shape of the camera. Plenty of room in the 31l otherwise :).

[@attilaishere_barcelona7935]

@@OfTwoLands 👌 great to know, thank you 😊

[@craigfouche]

Is this bag any good for 8x10 large format photography, to carry lenses and camera and possibly film holders?

[@OfTwoLands]

I think so yes, especially with the Deep Cube. The 6K Pro is a fairly wide and tall camera and still quite a bit of room left :)

[@craigfouche]

@@OfTwoLands my 8x10 is 310mm square and 100m deep and there is really no perfect camera bag for any setup. With 8x10 I would use 3 to 4 lenses, a light meter and film holders which are A4 in size and a reduction back to 5x7 or 4x5. Which model then would you recommend the 41l or another? Thanks for sn informative video.

[@RolandsBriedis]

Hey, Thanks for review! Can't decide. Please help. :) Do You recommend to get "Essential Deep Cube" + "Essential+ Cube" as You have in this video? I am wondering if it is easy to access this second "Essential+ Cube" in top section. or more convenient would be getting only one "Pro Deep Cube", but having overall less customisability and space?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching !! I think if you intend to use both I would say the Pro Deep would be better then. I only used the two in case I really need to carry more than the Deep and also to demonstrate the space inside :).

[@RolandsBriedis]

​@@OfTwoLandsThanks! I have one more question. I know this is workaround, but I like idea to have two separate cubes and use second cube only if I need more space for gear instead of having only one "Pro Deep Cube". Is it possible to roll down upper section completely while having "Essential+ Cube" inside? And Is it easy/ fast to access to this Cube having it there or every-time You need roll out upper section?

[@RolandsBriedis]

@@OfTwoLands Hey :) Did You had time to check this?

[@likebliss]

You mentioned that you can use the 41L as a carry-on, but does it fit as a "personal item" under the seat in front of you, or is that only the 31L that allows for that?

[@OfTwoLands]

I always put my bags in the overhead locker actually. I don't think it qualifies as personal. Personal usually means more tote bags etc.

[@TonyInEstonia]

Hi Flo. Short question. Dont you use Side handle at all ?

[@sashinger5230]

Excellent video, definitely one of the best I've seen on these bags. Is the 31 really only 48cm in height? Looks bigger in the video and many pics out there. And did you ever ran intro trouble cause these bags have no load lifters?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks a lot!! On the website these are the dimensions : 48 X 30 X 18 cm. It is a decent camera backpack in terms of size. And no, never had any issues :)

[@sashinger5230]

@@OfTwoLands Great to hear! I know the dimensions from the website but it looks more in height from here. Maybe it's the position (load) of the roll top? Would be cool if you could measure it if possible. And btw if I may ask: How tall are you?

[@arcanefilms9380]

I have a question! I am debating between getting a 31L and a 41L. I have a canon 80D with a battery grip, an EOS R, a 24-70 f2.8, a Sigma 18-35 f1.8, a 50mm f1.8, a 70-200 zoom, a DJI Mavic Prod drone with batteries, a MacBook Pro, and a DJI Ronin S. I’m leaning more towards the 41L but I am not sure. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated!

[@Diamondranchfarmstead]

I can’t make my choice either about the same thing. I have one camera body and two lenses plus my MacBook Pro, and mavic air 2 plus controller.

[@marcello_s]

Hi man! This video is straight to the point and very well made. Amazing quality and content. I was wondering, how tall are you ? I'm asking because I'm hesitating between the 31L and the 41L. As you are carrying the 41L in your video, that would give me an Idea approximately. Thanks!

[@OfTwoLands]

Hey, really glad you liked it, thank you for the positive feedback !! I am 1.85cm (6'1) :)

[@soak000]

Great review. Will a 300mm 2.8 Canon lens fit in either the 31 or the 41? With a hood it's a pretty hefty lens. Thanks.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! I haven't tried the 300mm 2.8 yet with these bags but I have used the Sigma 100-400 with no issues if that helps to compare :). They have the dimensions of the cubes and bags on their site. Cheers

Bonjour. J’ai seulement la black magic 6k pro avec un sigma 18-35mm et un dji drone mini 3 pro (manette et chargeur batterie) et une action 4. Penses-tu que tout rentre dans le 21l ? Jnhesite tellement avec le 31l mais je ne veux pas voyager plus lourd et encombrant Merci beaucoup

[@RadianFilms64]

The bag looks great! And it also has all the features I want in a camera bag. Too bag it's not available in my country yet.

[@BertrandMariauxAvocats]

is it good for heavy exposure to rain? Thanks!

[@OfTwoLands]

I have used in normal rain and snow storm without an issue. The only time I used it in heavy crazy rain was in Iceland and I spend 3h and some water did get in in some parts but the water also got through my Gore Tex technical shell which means it was ridiculously hard conditions haha!

[@davidpalermo4695]

I want a PRVKE but the 41 seems too large and the 31 doesn’t have a “deep” cube. I carry a FujiFilm GFX100 II with the battery grip and lens attached so the regular cube is not deep enough. I need about 6.5 inches of depth for that camera. Very frustrating!

[@agentsmith64]

How big is the compartment that's separate from the camera cube? Looking to carry my drone and camera (just 1 Fuji x100v) organized at the bottom but still have a separate compartment that fits a full-size beach towel, sunscreen and sometimes running shoes. Do you think the top compartment of the 31L is big enough or do I really need the 41L version?

[@framejunky]

Sorry if I didn’t understand, it’s because you talk about a “deep-cube”. Are the cubes the same in the 31 as in the 41 so basically you only have extra space for extra excessaries?

[@OfTwoLands]

You can fit deeper cubes for the 41, yes :). You can fit more in and most lenses can fit upright.

[@framejunky]

@@OfTwoLands just bought me the 31 L V3 with the photobundle. Basically because of you, love your reviews. I only want to cary a bmpcc pro with a tilta cage and two lenses. Hoped the cage would fit in the 21L though, cause the smaller, the more comfortable, but the info I get from the internet is that it’s a no go.

Great review. I want to carry my Ronin RS2 along with my camera and a few lenses. Gimbals are pretty awkward in size. Do you have any idea if the 31 would be sufficient for that, or if the 41 would be better? I'm also considering the Lowepro 450 AW as it seems good, although it's heavier. Thanks!

[@semperfitygaming5619]

Which pack did you get? Also looking to get a RS2, camera, and a few lenses in.

[@Mendelmeister]

I would also love to know, if bmpcc 6k pro (probably with a cage on it) with the sigma 18-35, a ronins rs2 and a couple of lenses would suit in 31l.. perhaps only 41l. I’m a girl 170 cm though 😬 or it’s not that huge difference in size?

[@oyvind-b]

Im going to Antartica next year with two cameras but Im having a hard time to figure out which size to choose. I'll travel with a 80D and a mirrorless canon camera, a travelsize tripod, on-camera microphones, most likely a wide angle, a normal zoom and at least one 70-200mm. Maybe also a 150-600mm. In your opinion, should I go for the 31 or the 41 litre? Im also in dought whether I should invest in a 150-600mm for this trip, whats your experience on focal length?

[@OfTwoLands]

Congrats, such a beautiful place !! I went there with the 31L and it was more than enough, I prefer the 41L for deeper items such as my 6K Pro or monitor. I always had my cameras on me so the bag was purely just to carry lenses and extra gear. I would say yes for the 150-600, I regretted not having more than 200 on my trip. For that lens though maybe the 41L would work better since you can have the normal zoom and wide angle standing up to leave more room in the cube if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

[@oyvind-b]

@@OfTwoLands Thanks for your answer! I have to get there and back on the airplane, and be able to pack both cameras in the bag for the zodiac trips in rough weather. Thats why Im conserned by the size of the 31l. No dealers here in Norway so hard to test it out. Did you use the raincover or are the bags waterproof enough as it is?

[@jeremywfain]

Hey man, so you were able to fit your C200 Kit comfortably in the 31L?

[@OfTwoLands]

Yes, body sitting on its side and the accessories around :). There's a photo of it in my 21L review I think :) I would still suggest the 41L if you have a cage or larger accessories alongside the C200 like a monitor etc.

[@jeremywfain]

Thank you so much! So I actually found that shot of the c200 in your 21L review. Super helpful! Thought about it for a few days and decided to purchase the original 31L due to the price drop (bag alone $163) and seeing how you were able to configure it. I feel good about my decision. I don’t travel a ton with my gear and can/will probably purchase the Pro+ cube so I can fit all my c200 accessories, 2-3 lens, mavic mini and Fuji x100v. Thanks so much again and congrats on the new addition to your family!

[@andregtb1600]

Heyo mate, great review - super insightful. Wondering if you think a bmpcc 6k pro (in a smallrig cage, but no EVF) and 1 lens (sigma 18-35) would fit in the 21L essentials camera cube? Despite the enormous nature of the 6kpro, I'm looking to run the lightest possible bag/setup as I hike a lot in toasty Australian summer

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! I don't think it will. In the 31L cube for example you have to lay the camera flat if you have a cage on and it already takes quite a bit of room. I would still get the 31L as a proper camera bag. The 21L is better for mirrorless or photography in my opinion :).

Wandrd is not honest about their volume though. I had the 41l version, it maybe good for camera use, but it is not very good for travelling.The room is huge, but you need to get their camera cubes (of course for separate price), otherwise the organization in the main compartment is extremely terrible. The actual volume is like 37l-38l. Honestly, after months of use, I don't even like the bag anymore.

[@DavideCaricato]

Try to use compression cubes instead of camera cube.

thing is the whole weight of the bag with load hold on a main zipper when bag is carry around, have a look at 8:52 not good... it's a matter of time when the zipper broke

Interesting that you didn't mention their extraordinarily dumb decision not to make the inner lining of both the photography cube and the roll top a bight colour- say bright orange. Why didn't they do this? In the case of the roll top the interior is like a black hole and in the case of the photography cube...well, most camera gear is black. If you were working in dim light then good luck with that.
