- [Matt] Doing the introduction.
Go ahead.
Do the intro.
- Let me sit here for you.
- Do the intro.
I need you to do the mic check.
(laughing)
What?
- Mic check?
- [Matt] You have to help me with the mic.
- (softly) Hi everybody, welcome back to Moving Matt.
- [Matt] No, I have to see the mic,
go do what I would be doing.
As loud as me.
- Everybody!
(laughing)
Welcome back!
Moving Matt!
Well!
(laughing)
- Hey, everybody!
Welcome back to Moving Matt.
If you're new here,
we do travel, some vlogs, and camera gear.
Today, we kind of get to mix the two
because we're going to open
this new Peter McKinnon backpack.
So, I'm going to do a quick unboxing,
a little bit of a first impression,
and then I'll give a review as well in about two weeks.
Well, for you, it'll be about 30 seconds
'cause I'm going to speed this thing along.
So, let's get to it!
Should I say, "What's up, everybody?"
Get it?
'Cause he says that?
(maniacal laugh)
Sorry.
(singing) Ah!
Okay!
So far, like it.
Pirate logo.
Very quick, first impression, extremely cool looking.
I've been needing a really good camera bag.
And I'm really excited for this
because from everything I've seen,
it's pretty awesome.
So, if you open up here,
there's a little bit of a magnet clip
that goes in there
and that magnet actually stops people
from being able to get your credit card information.
So, when we're traveling overseas, that's nice.
Let me quickly open this up.
So, this top part, as you can see,
is where you would keep your clothes,
at least for a little, quick trip.
And then, underneath here,
we have the opening and the dividers.
All seems really good high quality for now,
but yeah, I'm excited.
Oh, one more quick, little thing.
We also got the day bag.
(rustling)
Okay.
This was one of the most exciting parts for me.
Lot of times when you're traveling
you really want to be able to travel light.
This opens up and holds all your camera gear.
But wait, there's more!
This part,
right here,
will extend out to become
a little daytime backpack.
And supposedly it fits in perfect with the backpack.
So, that is a little unboxing portion.
Now, I'll get to the review.
That's going to take me two weeks
and you about 10 seconds.
Let's get to it.
(relaxed music)
So, I just came out here to finish this video
and actually get a thumbnail
for the video you're watching right now.
And the birds have been absolutely insane.
There's some feeding frenzy going on.
So, if you can't tell from the long hair and beard
and the quarantine 15, it's been quite a bit longer
than the two weeks that I thought
it was going to take to do this review.
But, that's for a good reason.
So, as everybody knows,
it's been an incredibly weird time lately
and I haven't had time to travel up until recently.
And I wasn't able to really use this backpack.
And so, I didn't want to just fake it and act like,
"Oh, I've had so much time with it and experience with it."
And to be able to try to give
my proper review or impressions of this bag.
So, I figured that I would wait,
give it plenty of time, use it as much as I could.
And then recently I was able to actually
go to a trip to Florida.
I took it with me
and I felt like I got a better impression
of what I feel about this bag.
It's crazy, I remember being a kid
and putting this rock here.
And we've had floods,
this creek has been extremely flooded
all the way up to the house,
and yet, this rock stayed here.
Anyways.
So, of course, my overall impressions of the bag is
I absolutely love it.
It's extremely comfortable, very well balanced.
I love the padding.
One of the biggest things that I love about it
is that day bag.
When I was in Florida,
it was something that absolutely came in handy
to be able to just put a few of the key,
essential things that I needed in that bag,
and actually leave the bigger backpack in the condo
was absolutely awesome.
It feels rugged, very well built.
I felt like all my camera gear was very protected.
When I put it in there,
I was able to just kind of throw it around in the car
and not feel like something was going to break.
Granted, results might vary.
So, maybe not throw it around too much.
So, the big negative is, with this bag,
is it is kind of expensive.
Granted, it's premium and I think
you get what you paid for.
But, it is $400 just for the bag.
And for the day bag, it's 125.
I got it back during the Kickstarter,
so it was quite a bit cheaper.
If you're buying it now, it is a big expense.
So, it really just depends
on the level of gear that you have,
the level of travel that you do,
and what you'll be getting out of this bag for yourself.
Personally, I like to buy something
that's going to be quality
that will last me a long period of time.
Instead of, like I've done in the past,
buying cheaper things that keep breaking
and I keep needing to buy more, upgrade,
and not do the things that I need.
So, that's my general overall thoughts of the bag.
That for me, it's been a hundred percent worth it.
For you?
Well, that's going to be a decision
you need to make for yourself.
But, what I can say is, if you do pick up this bag,
I believe you will enjoy this bag.
But, the downside is
you won't all of a sudden be as good
at photography and videography as Peter McKinnon.
Which I thought that was implied,
when I bought this bag,
that all of a sudden I would be way better
at photography and videography,
but apparently it doesn't work that way.
So, if you've liked this video,

Have you already got this bag?
What are your impressions of it?
Or maybe do you have a preference in a bag
that you think maybe is a little cheaper but better quality?
Drop in the comments section below and let me know.
And maybe let some of the other people know
that are watching this video, as well.
But until next time, peace.
