Many thanks to you for all that you have shared with us. Your success is well deserved!

Haven't had a "made for camera" bag in a while. Have used several backpack or messenger style bags over the years.

Looks like a great ball head. Thanks for another worthwhile video. I have several bags, but always seem to go back to my Lowepro Sling bag for most of my photography.

Congratulations on your success Mark. Really enjoy your videos - refer back to them often. I currently have a Peak Sling 10L bag that I use when I go out shooting.

I was soooooo hoping the giveaway was the ball head! :P I was one of the ones who commented when I spotted it on that previous video. Thanks for the video on it, it sure is cool. I may just have to get one for myself. As always, great videos Mark. I look forward to Wednesdays.

Congrats on 175k subscribers! I had a Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW Backpack and gave it away because fully packed it was more weight than I could manage 🤣

This new ball head sounds amazing- I love all the aspects that you mention. 👍🏻

I just got the Colorado Tripod Company Highline medium ball head a couple weeks ago and it is awesome. They are a great company really providing high quality products at more affordable prices. Highly recommend them to everyone. My current bag is the Shimoda Action X30. Great bag!

Congrats on the milestone, Mark! My current kick-around back is an Endurax sling bag. A great bag for running and gunning, but it takes its toll on the neck after a while. I also use a much bigger Neewer bag as my carry-all bag, but it’s mostly just for travel.

Thanks for this video! I've been looking for a lighter weight tripod and ballhead for a while now. I had already sort of settled on the Centennial tripod, but hadn't found a ballhead yet. It was nice to hear from someone who's actually used the gear and liked it.

I ordered an Aspen ball head right after the release of this video, still waiting ..........

"Never had my finger on the pulse of the ball head market" Not something I'd think of keeping up with either. Always felt like once I had one that didn't bother me, that was it forever. Also, I'm using the Lowepro Trek 450. Nice bag, but this giveaway bag looks like a good day-to-day bag.

Never owned a decent ball head or a camera back pack I have never been comfortable with backpacks they are always to big and clumsy, I never carry much equipment so a smaller backpack might just be what I am looking for! Thank you for explaining your latest ball head that looks a decent bit of kit! Oh and well done for attracting all those subscribers.

Really like the look of the Aspen Ball Head. I am glad you introduced us to it. And, yes, could really use a new camera bag. Thanks for another great video, Mark Denney!

I’ve just started looking at new ball heads for panoramic photography. I’m currently using the Tenba sling but think I need to upgrade. Love watching your videos every week.

I am using now for a few month a new Photobag called The "Element Backpack" from a company called Compagnon from Germany. It is a 30 litres bag with a plus rolltop of 12 litres. It was a true odyssey to receive it because it was sent to a friend in Berlin who was going to travel to Santiago/Chile. From there it was picked up by another friend living in the same city who had planeed a trip to Patagonia where I live very soon, but for the Pandemic, she could not travel. So another friend of mine who is living near my home was going to return from a trip to Valparaíso to Puerto Natale, where I live (some 3000 km further south), a few months later and on his way to the airport, in Santiago, he visited this second friend and picked up the bag and brought it to me. So since I bought it until I received it, there was a lapse of time of 4 months. I am very happy with it but still need a bag a bit smaller such as a 26 litres for smaller trips around the city.

Hi Mark, Thank you for the very informative video. I preordered the Aspen Ballhead last year and can't wait to get it in my hands!

Congrats on the 176K! I love all your videos, you make photography easier to understand, Right now I'm rocking just a basic Lowepro bag.

I currently have a shimoda icu shoved into my ski touring pack. It works for now. Congrats on the milestone. Your video's always teach me something so, thanks.

Great review of the ballhead. Nice to see what other options are out there. May pick one up someday.

Great review and congrats on this milestone, I'm sure there will be many! Right now I'm using the PM Cube Pack. It's small enough that I can carry it every day while out and about.

Congrats on such a huge milestone and thank you for all the information you share with us

I have never thought too much about ball heads. Thanks for the information! That looks like a much better camera bag than I am currently using (a no name brand from a rewards program!).

Love the videos keep them up, a lot of your videos have helped me along my photography journey. I'm currently using a mindshift 40lt

I use the Mountainsmith Tanuck 40L bag currently. It is great for being able to take along my camera gear, along with anything I need for camping. I am in need of a regular every day camera backpack, but this one works great for going out into the wilderness for a few days at a time.

Congrats on your new milestone. I use a smaller Lowpro and just love it. My DSLR and 3 lenses fit very well. Keep up the good work.

Hey Mark, love the channel! Congrats on reaching 175k! Thanks for making the video about the tripod ball head we didn’t know we needed. 😎👌🏼🔥🔥

Really sweet-looking ball head. Congratulation on your 175K milestone Mark. I am currently using an Endurax camera bag. It has enough space but is not very comfortable.

Congrats on 175K! Well deserved for a channel that always has great tips and great pics. I'm currently using a Lowepro SlingShot 302. I like that it's got room for multiple lenses and lots of pockets and extra space, and that the sling makes it easy to get in and out of on the go. I don't like that it puts all the weight on one shoulder (short sighted choice on my part).

Thanks for all the tips. I'm currently using a lowepro bag. It's pretty small and compact and I had to adapt it to hold a tripod

Thank you for always putting out great content. I currently use a Zeti camera bag to carry my gear. I look forward to more videos!

Thank you Mark! always look forward to your shows and learn something new every time. Great work

Thanks for the video Mark. Currently don't have a "bag" I use. I either lug the think tank travel case or my peak design sling. I either bring everything or one body and lens.

Mark, Thanks for the heads up on the new ballhead looks beautiful!

Congratulations on 175k! That is awesome! That ball head looks pretty interesting. I am currently using a small Altura sling bag. It sounded like a good idea for my mirrorless setup when I bought it, but it's definitely too small and needs to be upgraded. The Mindshift bag looks pretty sweet!

Thanks Mark, love your channel. Currently I’m using the Atlas Athlete pack most of the time, bit could do with a smaller pack for short trips. Looking forward to your next post!

I have always loved photography and recently took my next planned vacation to a national park as an excuse to upgrade my camera to a entry level mirrorless and work on my photography. As I have been learning, I found your channel and have been going through them all to learn as much as possible. I know the basics but I have learned so much from your videos. I appreciate all the time and detail that you put into your videos that makes it easy to understand and comprehend. Just wanted to say thanks and congrats on 175k!

Just really started getting into landscape photography. I have really enjoyed all the tips I have picked up on your channel. I have the Lowepro Passport Sling bag currently, so I could really use an upgrade on a new camera bag for hiking!

What a great milestone to reach 175 k+ of subscribers, congratulations! Keep up the good work! As for the backpack, I have a Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW.

Hi Mark, congrats on another milestone. Been watching your videos for a while now. Keep up the good work. My current camera bag is just a generic no name camera back that is facing apart at the seems. Definitely time for a new bag.The mind shift bag looks great.

I am currently using the Shimoda camera bag. Congratulations on your 175K subscribers! You provide us with quality content, Mark. Keep up the good work.

I got the Peak Design Sling for my birthday and I really like it for carrying a cam and one (or two small) lense(s) on a short walk or in the city.

I have the Mindshift Rotation Trail and 34L bags and love them. The rotation system is really handy out on a hike.

Great video as always. This really is one of the best photography channels on youtube. Also I currently use a Lowepro camera pouch inside a normal backbag or just the pouch by itself

I currently used a Gregory Targhee 32 (back country ski bag) with a camera insert. It works great for the hiking with the gear!

I have a Tamrac backpack that I've used for about 10 years now and enjoy. I just added a new lens to my collection that I would like to carry around, but that has put me over the edge and now I have to choose which lens to leave behind.

thanks Mark, I currently use an Osprey Soelden, with an aftermarket insert for the camera and lens! I like the backcountry/hiking style bag.

Been using a cost effective Lowepro camera bag for awhile now. Great bag for the money, and extra space food, jackets, etc without being too cumbersome. Congratulations on 175K!

I have a lowpro bag that's pretty nice, the equipment access is from both sides and I hardly ever forget to zip it back up 😬 after changing lenses .

The ball head looks great and I will definitely have to check it out should I decide to upgrade. I am currently using the Atlas Athlete pack - based partly on your video from a while back. Having used it for a little over a year now I still really enjoy it but I've been looking for something that is still sleek but can hold a bit more gear.

Thanks for all you post Mark. Looks like a great new ball head from CTC. My current backpack is a LowePro Flipside AWII.

I dropped the ball head went to a geared head instead for my landscape photography. It really makes those small little compositional adjustments so much easier. I'll still use the ball head occasionally if I'm thinking of shooting wildlife.

Looks like a wonderful ballhead. I've been looking to upgrade for a while now. This looks like a great option.

Keep up the great work. You have inspired me to not give up on my landscape photography journey. My current go to bag is a lowepro flip side 200aw

Great overview Mark. I have a Gitso ballhead that might be as old as my Tamrac camera bag. I’m guessing about 15 years. I’ve been thinking about updating both.

Many congratulations on reaching 175K subs. Well done, and well deserved. I am currently using the Lowpro Flipside - I think it is a 20L.

Currently using the Domke F-2 shoulder bag. Love your videos. Thanks for the education and the inspiration!

Your vids are among my handful of my tops that I always watch. I recently bought a Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW. So far so good.

I enjoy using a Shimoda Action X 50. I can carry a fair amount of gear and a smaller bag can be very useful for small outing. Thanks for sharing your comments on the new ballhead design.

My bag for carrying my full kit is the Shimoda Explore 40 Adventure . I have other bags that I use for hikes when I take less equipment but my favorite is the Shimoda.

Congratulations on this milestone. Love your channel - keep up the good work!

Hey Mark, thanks for the videos. I have been loving your channel. My primary camera bag is a Lowepro Offroad waist bag. My other bag is a Lowepro Orion AW from my days as a ski photographer in Utah 20+ years ago when I was shooting on 35mm film and I could access my gear on my waist without having to put it down in the snow.

Hey mark congrats on the milestone! i could definately use a camera bag as im currently using some little shoulder strap bag.

GREAT CHANNEL! Thanks for all of the info! Constantly helping me! I am using super crappy bag that I hate. I am definitely in need of a better one!

Thanks once again Mark; great review ... always appreciative of your pragmatic, "plain speak" approach. As far as bags, I'm still trying to make an old Swiss Army laptop bag work when lugging around camera gear. To say I'm overdue for a more purpose built option is an understatement!

Congrats on the growing channel! You’re definitely my go to for Lightroom tutorials. Currently using a osprey daylite pack which is great for hiking, not so much for holding camera gear.

Congrats on the new milestone Mark - well deserved! I don’t have a camera backpack so things just go into my daypack. This pack would be a real blessing!

I'm going to be getting a new tripod plus head this year, hopefully. So, good to see this review. I am kind of attracted to the geared heads. I like the idea of being able to make fine adjustments. Did I understand you correctly, that the big knob on this Colorado head allows fine adjustments, while the other knob allows coarse adjustments?

Congrats on your milestone. I use the small (15L?) Peak design bag. Very sleek design but quickly realizing a bigger bag would be better. Keep making great videos!

Mark, your videos have been so helpful! I’d say about 80% of how I use a camera or edit photos comes directly from these videos. Now I know more about ball heads, too.

Congratulations on your latest millstone Mark!! and thanks for always posting interesting videos....

I've been going through the time of my life and have been binge watching all of your videos. Just want to say that you've become a mighty inspiration to me. Thank you for all you do. Keep it coming!

Congratulations Mark... Many more to achieve.. Love ur videos...being a doctor I barely find time for photography..but learning through every opportunity i get.

Congratulations on the well deserved milestone! I have been using the standard Nikon sling bag that came with the camera. Going truly minimal with one body and one lens!

Thank you for all of the information you give. I am currently using an Amazon Basics DSLR and laptop bag. It is less than ideal!

Congrats on 175K. Keep up the good work. Your channel is one of my go to channels for photography. Today I use my hiking pack for my camera gear. A pack designed specifically for photography would be a step forward.

Congrats Mark! I’m new at the photography hobby and love your channel! I am using a Brevite backpack currently.

Thanks for all you do. It takes quite a commitment to post as well and as freq as you do. I use an old Canon backpack. Looking for a bag for new Sony mirror less.

Great review of a beautiful all head. Since you got me hooked on landscape I have just been using a second hand alpine bag, it i getting well used now I have found a niche 👌

Currently using an old Tamrac shoulder bag that is about 12 years old... could definitely use an upgrade. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming!

I’m glad to hear your review of the Aspen Ballhead. I was really interested in it while at the conference in Kanab. I think I’m going to be switching too! I use a Shimodo explorer bag , or my North Peak day pack for shorter hikes.

I mostly use a Lowepro Flipside Trek which is a really great pack, though the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired. I also will often use a Mountainsmith camera insert in my regular daypack. That works well when most of the gear I'm bringing isn't camera gear.

Thanks for the information about the ballhead. I happen to be in the moment of searching a new one and I'll definitely keep my eyes on it. I'm using the Lowepro Flipside 200 AW. It is nice but a bit small. The giveaway bag looks like a good alternative...

Wow, that does look like a great ball head. Time for me to upgrade! I also love the Mindshift bags. I think they are great quality and have all the features needed for that size range. This would be a treat to also upgrade my camera bag. All the best.

Great video. Thank you for the review of the Aspen Ball Head. I purchased one of their Highline Ball Heads 6 months ago and love the quality and feel of the product. I have been on the Aspen pre-order list for a few weeks now and your review and comments have made it even harder for me to patiently wait delivery. I currently have the Mindshift Backlight 26L bag in green. It has some miles on it and has held up very well.

Interesting ball head set up. I'm currently exploring options for a new ball head, so I will keep this one in mind. A free camera bag sounds good and this one looks pretty handy. I currently use a Lowepro Sling bag which is about 10 years old now. Bag designs seem to have improved a fair bit over the last 10 years.

Hey Mark, Great video and as always I enjoy all of your tips and knowledge. I'm currently using my old Osprey Kestrel pack and a Peak Design packing cube.

Congratulations on the 175K milestone. You have some great content! That is a neat looking ball head. I currently use the Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW II Pro Modular Backpack. This is a great bug, but it’s time to switch it up a bit.

Much deserved. Always look forward to your content. Don't have a camera bag - yet!

Thanks to you Mark. For your work, your photos and your videos. 😉😉👍🏻👍🏻 Very cool the new ball head.

This has convinced me to get a ball head. I've been toying with the idea of getting one and I think now is the time to pull the trigger and go for it! Congratulations on the milestone! I'm currently using a Sandstrom, nothing flash but has served me well for years!

I am currently using a Lowepro Photo Sport. Good for hiking but a tight fit if I want to take more than my camera and one additional lens

I'm currently using the Lowepro Slingshot 202 for strolls around the city and the Lowepro Fastpack 250AW for hikes and longer sessions. Holds all my needed gear and offers some room for snacks and beverages. And the side access feature on both is a feature i wouldn't ever want to miss again, I love not having to take off the bag to reach for my camera.

I recently bought a cheap bag from Amazon and would love an upgrade! Especially one that carries a tripod on the side as you demonstrated. Congrats on the 175K! Amazing!

I’ve been using a 15 year old lowepro mini trekker. At the time I didn’t have any gear at all and it felt ridiculous using it. As my gear multiplied 😄😄😄 I managed to fill it up but there is hardly any space for personal items let alone storage for a jacket or anything else truly useful. Nowadays I use the lowepro to store my gear in the house and when I go out I use a hiking backpack with a camera insert.

Congrats on 175K! I currently have a Shimoda adventure bag but would love to have smaller bag for urban use.

Great session, Mark! I have been a fan of RRS for some time. Glad to know there are now competitors! Great review. I look forward to looking into the Aspen ballhead. Keep up the great work!

Mark, nice to see that you got the Aspen Ball Head. There are a lot of us out here that have been waiting for years to receive ours. Maybe one day it will happen.

Thanks for this video. I have been wanting a new ball head that has the features of the one you demonstrated. I will definitely give it a look. I wouldn’t mind having that backpack either. I currently use a shoulder bag, but have been thinking of switching.

I'm using a lowepro flipside trek 200 camera bag. Good for a beginner and on sale it wasn't too pricey, about 100 USD. Doesn't hold more than camera, lenses and accessories but that keeps the weight down for short hikes or when you just need the basics.

Congrats on the milestone! I really enjoy your channel and look forward to each new installment. I currently use an Endurax ShellX extra large camera backpack. Nothing fancy by any stretch of the imagination but generally has been adequate in most situations.

Thanks for the info, I never really considered a ball head, but got me thinking. I am currently using a XIT bag, and it is a bit crowded.

I am currently using the Tarion Pro bag and it holds both my camera bodies, my drone, and all my field recording stuff!
