Jason Vong just holding everything in a normal bag without protection... but thinking of the Lowepro protactic 350aw :)

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

So when you travel with this bag do you bring it as a Carry on? Or do you put it through luggage/baggage? Im really curious, Must be nerve racking if you dont bring it as a carry on...

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

What equipment do you use to set up your overhead camera? Is it on a tripod on a table or something?

[@LeeZavitz]

I like this setup. I might have to grab this bag.

[@bikecommuter24]

I have been using this backpack for about 7 months as my daily photo bag, so far no complaints from me. I looked at the Peak Design and chose the Airport Essentials over it. I do motorcycle-motorsports photography and I ride my motorcycle to a lot of those gigs and events. The PD seems you would have to be careful opening it so nothing would spill out, if you opened it the wrong way. but it does have some neat organizing sections on those side pockets. The lock was one of the features that made me buy it, only thing is you either lock the camera compartment or the computer compartment not both, I solved that by buying a extra TSA cable lock, to lock the other compartment and I keep it in the cable section. I lock the bag to my bike if I just need my cameras but I'm usually not far away anyhow. As for those asking about SD cards Think Tank Photo sells a pretty neat folding pouch-wallet thing called the pixel pocket rocket they make two versions one hold four CF and three SD cards and another that holds nine SD cards. so thats covered. They also sell battery pouches one hold that holds one battery and a memory card, one that holds two batteries and another that holds four, thats the one I got, I keep two batteries for my 7Dmkii and two for my SL2 in it. This bag holds a lot, with it I'm set for action photography, time lapses, portraits, stills, whatever comes my way. I too use the Rode Video Micro go, no batteries needed and it works great on the SL2 which I use for video, the SL2's battery seems to last longer than the one on my Sony a6000 which can't even take a plug in mic. I like your set up looks like for setup to cover anything you might need to take care of. I still like my DSLR's but I'm no stranger to mirrorless.

[@The_Essential_Light]

I have had this back for many years. When I shot with a DSLR it was great. When I switched to a Sony A7iii it became obvious this bag was too big for the camera body even with a lens attached.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

that peak design bag is looking more and more tempting. Currently using the LowePro 450AW

[@user-wh7pu4kl6h]

I don't really have much gear so I just use a nice big compartmentalized school back pack with a rain cover like yours. Just until I get a new one because I'm 13 and just stepped into the world of photography so yaeh ur videos rlly help me out ❤️❤️

[@JasonVong]

Awesome! Keep on shooting!

[@dalvin-earlnichols6208]

I have an Incase DSLR pro pack. I love it!!!

[@zyxyuv1650]

Consider getting a Rode VideoMic Go + Deadcat. It's similar to the VideoMicro but it shakes less cause it's got a much better shockmount. It requires no batteries and is more directional than the VideoMicro.

[@KyuKim]

That BATIS glass tho! 👏🏻

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

Love seeing all of the equipment that you carry!!

[@JasonVong]

Thank you!

[@Samuel.Andersen]

Love this backpack, it’s like a “office”.

[@CharlesBudd]

That looks ideal as a carry on - not too heavy either at less than 1.7kg. I made the mistake of getting a solid carry on case but it’s so heavy I can’t get my essential gear in it without going over European airline weight limits. Doh! 😂

[@Drehundred]

Wandrd Prvke 31L. Took it with me to Japan a couple weeks ago. Going through airport TSA was a breeze. I was able to fit my A6500, sigma 16mm, Zhiyun crane plus, mavic pro, power bank. On top of that I still had extra room for a couple more lenses.... or green tea KitKats.

[@carflo2112]

Great video, I too am rocking the Peak Design 20L Ash backpack, but am looking for something about the same size as the Peak Design that holds more. I am not that tall, and the 30L Everyday Backpack is just a bit to big for me, so this Think Tank might be a good option.

[@JasonVong]

Yeah 30L makes me look like a turtle lol

[@jmsmallville19]

I have the same observation with the peak design backpack

[@MarcosRochaTV]

Cool man! You gave some ideas.

[@baodo7905]

my dream camera set up 😍

[@Ev_Boyd]

Hey @Jason Vong My wife and I are getting ready to do some travel vlogging. If you only took three lenses cost not being a issue what ones would you take? We will be doing mostly vlogs, portraits, landscapes.

[@JasonVong]

Personally, my current go to is the 16-35mm GM + 85mm 1.8. If weight wasn't an issue either, 16-35mm, 24-105mm, 70-200mm GM

[@Ev_Boyd]

Thanks bro! Love the channel, keep up the awesome hybrid shooting content!

[@oooo606]

It looks like there’s a little gap between the top of the body and the bag. Does it rock around in the bag much? It’s really difficult to find a bag that fits mirrorless well.

[@RangerRickTV]

would you recommend this bag or the Urban approach backpack?

[@JasonVong]

I never used the urban one: (

[@d4rks33k3rz]

how do you think about this as a travel backpack for walking in cities for long periods? I was looking at lowepro protactic but the new one is so expensive. This looks like a nice backpack for my fuji system when I want to bring the 50-140 around.

[@ajalbetjr]

Thanks for publishing this video!! This answers my questions about traveling with cameras and lenses, but what do you use for traveling with Lights and Stands?? I have my first out of state wedding in 3 weeks and not sure what to get ( to hold for example, an AD600 Pro and 2-3 large Manfrotto stands)...

[@JasonVong]

You may want to check the stands in. Kraig Adams had this before, worked well for him geni.us/wYxLzYf

[@ajalbetjr]

Jason Vong Thanks!!

[@ds617]

I bought A7R3 3 months ago. When the first time I tried to connect it to SmallHD, I found the mini HDMI port was broken. It couldn't output properly. I never used the port after I bought the camera. Sony asked me to send it for repair. I did and they fixed it. But the repair note shows they replaced the whole mainboard. Do you think it's normal and acceptable? At least, Sony customer service told me it's normal. Im thinking I bought a bad copy at the very beginning. Sad.

[@GamingDaily]

when your at the airport security area do they ask you to take out each item out of your bag or do they just let you lay it out all open and stuff?

[@Mikeybikey88]

Nice! Great lens selection. Mine is similar to yours in terms of focal length, currently using adapted Canon L lenses so they are heavy and bulky. What do you think of the weather sealing of Sony native lenses on A7III bodies? Coming from the 1DX and 5D3, I feel that Sony cameras have poor ergonomics and lack ruggedness. Other than that, I love the Sony system.

[@JasonVong]

my a6500, a7riii, 55mm, 18-105mm all took some hard hits but they all survived. Some of my gear have been in the rain and no issues. Other than that, I haven't been in any really rough situations.

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

How many bags do you have in total? But dang, look at that arrangement!

[@JasonVong]

let's see... 1..2..3..4... ..99...100 😂

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

Jason Vong oh my gosh 😂😂

[@IAmKenArts]

I am looking for a new bag and can’t decide between the airport essentials and the Lowe Protactic. What do you think about that one?

[@d4rks33k3rz]

I'm in the same boat as you right now, did you make a choice?

[@powergeegee]

Hi Jason! Thanks for the video! I am just looking for a backpack like this as I am going to travel to US with my equipments! DSLR, lenses and other essentials. Aside from the backpack, as I am travelling from Hong Kong, is there any custom issues if I travel with my camera equipment into the US?

[@JessieJayson]

I have the zhiyun crane plus and the thinktank airport essentials. How do you fit the zhiyun in it?

[@RJM1982]

can you put a fully built Z.crane Gimbal in here with the camera attached?

[@IAmKenArts]

I had an evecase which was good concerning how you can store things. Bad thing is that the shoulder strap broke at the airport. I had about 12kg of Equipment in there and took it up at one strap to put it on my back and the stitches didn’t hold. How about this one? Is it solid?

[@JasonVong]

So far so good

[@joshuavega4563]

Nice! Have u ever tried langly backpacks?

[@paulresurreccion4037]

Hi Jason. Do you know if this bag would fit into a Pelican 1510 hard case with the foam of the Pelican removed? Thanks!

[@KenCheng]

too bad it doesn't open from the other side (or inside) of the bag instead, or as the term YOU would use "backdoor". I'm always paranoid about people unzipping and taking off with whatever they can grab in crowded environments. I'm sure you can put a lock on it, but then that's too much inconvenience

[@MikeyTurbo]

Great video 👍

[@IMDABROWN]

Hi JV didn’t you move from the Rode Wireless mic to the Senheiser AVX?

[@JasonVong]

I swapped back. The Rode has an extra gain control. I always peak with the AVX even when the settings are all low.

[@IMDABROWN]

You should have told us this when you switched back. You are letting me down JV, you are letting me down 🙁

[@AntivistX]

Jason plz sell me your 24-105 f4 sony has been backordered on that lens for months now and still no word when its coming back instock

[@JasonVong]

Damn is it still?! I actually don't have that lens. Danny got it on loan so we did the test and shoots on that 😔

[@AntivistX]

yeah unfortunately a lot of people are selling it used for 100 to 200 dollars more because its been on back ordered for so long

[@YanSaddamS]

How about thinktank airport commuter?

[@kamalazizi4481]

Why you not bring your gm lens ?

[@gevandian9112]

Hi jason, Will the ronin s fit on this backpack?

[@JasonVong]

nah it will stick out

[@gevandian9112]

@@JasonVong even if the battery and tripod is place separately?

[@SaladinGucman]

So no extra Flash light with you?

[@Thechicagosniper_]

What ND filter do you use for your 55mm?

[@lomarvgc1580]

Why you have a crop censor lens in a full frame camera bag?

[@lomarvgc1580]

Nvm

[@easynyc]

Can u fit crane 2???

[@easynyc]

???

[@vanbyarryferraren4744]

What ND Filter do you use for 55mm 1.8?

[@storymarvel5864]

Hi, do you think it can fit the Zhiyun crane 2 inside the bag?

[@sganzerla]

Take a look at Manfrotto Mover 50 and AW 500 from Lowepro. It was my doubt some time ago, went with the first one. Even the dual handle fits the bag but not in a clean way... and you have to spend a lot of time thinking about the configuration, but works.

[@easynyc]

Can you fit crane 2?????????

[@andugo]

any roller bag to intro?

[@charlesgwynn1073]

I thought you had 16-35 GM?

[@JasonVong]

I haven't gotten it... yet...

[@chamocalcetin1071]

“for sony mirrorless” only. if you put other gear in it puts you out

[@Martykoi]

24-70F4 is better than G master 24-70?

[@scottlawless24]

MKPV was curious about this as well. I have the f4, but have an opportunity to get the GM for pretty cheap today

[@JasonVong]

Lately we've been questioning the sharpness of the 24-70 f/4 lens. If budget is an issue, go for the 24-105mm f4 instead

[@scottlawless24]

Jason Vong should I sell my f4 and get the GMaster for $1400?

[@JasonVong]

damn if its for that price, hell yeah

[@scottlawless24]

Jason Vong kinda what I'm thinking since I'm getting into the wedding thing and don't wanna carry a bunch of different lenses.
