New Camera Bags For Mirrorless Outfits

I am using this as an audio bag for field recording, as well as occasional mirrorless camera duty. I tried several messenger-style bags from Manfrotto and others but this and it's smaller sibling 36M really stood out. (See my pix for size comparison - I got both and returned the smaller one.) It's pretty big but nicely balanced. The killer feature is the lower compartment: I like how messenger bags keep the weight close to my body, but that makes them tall and skinny so things get buried in the bottom. With this bag I can keep the primary gear accessible on the top shelf and still have easy access to bottom via the lower door. I put my MixPre-6 audio recorder on top (with right-angle XLR connectors) and have room for cables, headphones, and a small mirrorless camera on the top shelf. I keep my mic + pistol grip underneath, along with a backup recorder and several small microphones. The rain-cover is great, the strap is nicely padded and adjustable, and you can rig the front buckles to hold a tripod or stand. The lid can flip back and stay out of the way, or you can reach through a zippered slot to grab things. The top of the bag zippers shut so you can safely stow it sideways during airline/car travel without little things falling out of pockets. It's basically perfect!

I've been doing research on camera backpack for a week and stayed in a camera store for an afternoon and finally decided to buy this. It is one of very few bags that meet these requirements: - Lightweight ( 3lb). - Fits a 13 laptop. - Fits a DSLR + a mirrorless camera + 6 lenses in various sizes. - Not exaggeratively large. This backpack fits my Canon DSLR, Sony mirrorless, and 6 lenses in different sizes. If I arrange it more tightly, it can even fit an additional 70-200 f/4 telephoto lens. A 13 laptop or 12.9 iPad Pro fits neatly. In addition, it has another dedicated slot for 9.7 iPad. I haven't carried it outdoors, but I can foresee that the accessibility may not be as good as other bags that have side and back doors. But those bags are usually more expensive and heavier.

I bought this bag for my mirrorless Fuji camera and lenses. Most camera bags I’ve used in the past were too large and cumbersome. This one fits my frame really nicely and is easy to use.

Spacious for such a small bag. Tried several other similarly sized bags, and this one has more room, especially in comparison to bags that have removable paded inserts. Perfect amount of padding; not too much. Really a good option for mirrorless cameras. I Use with sony A7. Great for camera laying sideways and one more lens. (I carry 55mm and 16-35). Can also use with three lenses (one mounted and camera pointed downward), but it can get a little snug. The two removable dividers don't have a flap that flops over to protect between camera grip and top of lens, so there's no cradle for the camera to point downward. That'd be nice, and I'll probably end up trying to find one. But on the positive side, I'm able to carry an older nikon 200 F4 with it, which is 6 long with adaptor attached. That said, it's tight. But for smaller mirrorless systems like an a6000, it would be ideal. It would be nice if it had a removable strap so you could ad one that was a little beefier. A chest strap to prevent sliding when biking would be nice, but that can be added. The velcro is pretty loud when you open the bag. The clasps will probably last a long time, but they're not easy to open. And if you want a lot of pockets, this is not your bag: one in the back, one zipper in front, one zipper inside flap. That's a little frustrating, because there's not really a good way to segregate new batteries from used batteries. But the front pocket could easily accommodate a speed light, batteries and filters. It's also not as inconspicuous as the 803; it's subtle, but it still looks like a camera bag. But with all that said, I still give it 5 stars, because it's exactly what its intended to be: uncomplicated, spacious for a small bag, and well made. If I was only carrying some manual primes with my A7, or had an a6000, I think it'd be perfect. Highly recommend.

I own many think tank bags, and like all of think tank bags, this one is of excellent quality. My only complaint is that it does not serve my purposes. I purchase this bag to store a Nikon Z 50 mirrorless camera. The camera will not fit in the bag, even with the pancake 50 mm kit lens. If you have a small mirrorless camera that will fit in this bag. Don’t hesitate to purchase it. It is a very well made bag. I returned the bag in exchange for the think tank mirrorless mover 20 bag.

I have been using Domke bags for over 35 years. I was looking for a smaller bag that I could put a mirrorless camera in and use for traveling. This bag works great! I just need to get it softened up a little like all my other Domke bags. I do agree with others though I don't know why such a well made bag uses plastic shoulder strap hooks.

I have a mirrorless camera and I was looking for a smaller bag. I have arthritis and can no longer carry the bigger, heavier bags. I like to travel and it carries everything I need without all the weight. I also like how it looks. You can't really tell it is a camera bag and I feel safer and not as worried about someone stealing it.

So normally at this price I am expecting junk cause these things start at double the price and go up at most small camera outfits. This does the job it's supposed to do, and can't complain about the construction. It is a lightweight umbrella. If you are going to try to bend it, then it bends end of story, light weight get it. I would not call it flimsy by a long shot. Overall impression, yeah I would buy this again in a heartbeat, and it takes nice soft shots with my Nikon speed-lights, and handles the warmth from my Ari Tungstens (from not too close) just fine.

LOVE these cases and use them to store numerous camera outfits. To keep humidity as low as possible, I also use a yellow Ruggard dehumidifier along with the dehumidifier that comes with each case. Both keep humidity down to 20% for weeks before needing to be recharged.

My outfits for shooting snap shots with may camera have many pockets, for that reason. Pockets to hold all the junk i carry around but when i remove my lens cap and place it in my pocket, I usually end up searching all of them before i find it. Problem solved with this lens Cap Clip by Hufa. not so good is that I forget some times that I am using it.
