I have a camera with the Ronin SC. Will the 20L be enough space for the everyday backpack?

Great review! I’m leaning towards the 30L. I’ve seen that the laptop compartment can expand into the bag to some degree. I have a thicker 15” Dell Latitude laptop for work plus a file portfolio... maybe 2.5-3” total thickness. Will the back section expand that much? I’m looking for a sleek, everyday work bag where I can also always have my camera with me. Hoping this bag fits the bill. I love everything I’ve seen so far.

Great vids hombre! Question for you and this is probably aimed at the 30L bag. Supposed you have a camera (Fuji xh1), couple of prime lenses, laptop, iPad, and odds and ends. Do you think you could pack two days of clothings too? (Assuming you use the rolling method)? I’d love to use the 30 for a 1 bag travel bag and then then not traveling have it as my day carry. I know there is a bigger travel bag but that would be too big for a daily carry I think. Thanks for the effort in getting all your information out! Chris

Hey thanks Chris! It depends on how light of a packer you are in terms of clothes for the 30L backpack. I've done something similar for ski trips where I've used the bag to carry 2 days worth of clothes but with that, a lot of it I was wearing since it was the winter and I only had a change of base layers+underwear+PJs. I think a drone would push things over the limit so leave that at home if you have it but camera + lens (2 max) +laptop + iPad + some charging stuff + a few toiletries, you should be fine!

I’m stuck I’m thinking of investing in this bag I like the 20l for school but I go to work after school so I need carry my work gear with me which includes chef clothes and knives depending where I’m working and maybe work boots too so I thought the 30L might work well for me not sure 😣

Would the 20L be sufficient for a 5D Mk3 + Grip and a 50mm or 85mm? With enough room for a spare lens?

@GoingAwesomePlaces

6 жыл бұрын

Yes it'll fit but you'll have to adjust your dividers in the bag within the 20L to give more space for the 5DMK3 with Grip. The body + grip will take the full width of the bag in one divider and the 50/85mm can sit in a second divider. The spare lens may or may not fit in a divider depending on how big it is. If it doesn't fit a divider, you can always put it on the top part of the bag above the dividers and just make sure it is in its own lens case. Hope that helps!

Hi, very nice review! The bag is GORGEOUS DESIGN + FUNCTIONAL COMPARTMENTS = HEAVEN!! I didn't realize that this bag is designed to be a camera bag. I am planning to get this as a gift for my boyfriend for work and gym. Do you have any feedback on using the bag as a gym bag...like going to the gym after work. I was thinking that the divider can be used to compartmentalize the running shoes, workout clothes and lunch. Edit - this is for the 20L backpack :)

Hey Rose! Haha definitely organizer heaven here and customizable to what you need. Now I have to be honest, I haven't used the bag as a true gym bag although I have thrown random clothing inside my 30L while travelling. I'm guessing you're thinking about the 20L right? Well I can't see why you couldn't use it as a gym bag because if you make the dividers wide enough, you should be able to easily slot shoes in one compartment and clothes in another. You probably wouldn't need as many dividers as are provided and everything else you'd need for work would most likely just fit through the zippered part of the bag (i.e. laptop, keys, pens, misc stuff).

Hopefully this comment is seen by others considering which one to go with. I have an everyday sling 10L. It is *too small* for even a jot down the street if I want a tripod and other camera gear I want to use like a speed light and some magmod gear. Yesterday I looked at the 20L. Honestly it doesn't appear to be a whole lot bigger though I know it is. I think I would still long for more space as I tend to spend a few hours out shooting and want the bare necessities along with enough camera gear to feel comfortable with. I too have a mirrorless and though they are small, I want a zoom lens that will do the job along with another lens. Based on these reviews I've decided on the 30L because I don't need more than one bag and I'll be prepared for most if not all situations as well as having snacks and whatever other little things that come up. Those little things can add up to more space than you have if your bag isn't big enough. Thanks for the review @Going Awesome Places.

Can you fit 2 mirrorless bodies with lens (16-35 & 24-70mm) attached in the 20L with room for possibly 1 more lens (70-200mm) or a shoe mount flash?

@GoingAwesomePlaces

5 жыл бұрын

Ohh that would be very tight I think. The 70-200 would blow things away because that would take a complete slot at the bottom and the slot above could really only fit one mirrorless body + a smaller lens like a 16-35. If you're then comfortable with having the remaining things in the top open compartment, MAYBE you could? But I would definitely recommend a 30L for your needs

Yes that's the current price of the bag!

Let me solve your "main issue" right now. If you know which side is your "go to" side then you simply load your "go to" items accessible when you flip to that primary side. After just a short while of using it you will develop muscle memory and when that sudden opportunity for a great picture presents itself, and you quickly respond with flipping the backpack to it's "go to" side, you will have your camera and lenses you use most ready for action. Second issue with no legroom by placing the 30L under the seat in front of you......um, don't put it under the seat in front of you. I fly a lot, and I mean a lot, and I've NEVER had to put things under the seat in front of me....NEVER! I see absolutely ZERO reason why anyone would do this.

Good tips for new users for sure! When wearing the bag itself, it's less of an issue because like you said, you eventually develop a comfortable way to swing it around whether it be your left or right side. One thing that I still kind of have trouble with is when I have the bag on the ground and I'm facing it. Remembering which side my camera body is on can be confusing sometimes because how you swing it doesn't automatically click in your head whether it's the left or right flap (if maglatch side is facing you). The longer you travel with the bag the more automatic it becomes but it takes some time for it to register (at least it did for me!)
