Hello again, Izzy at Digital Goja showrooms.
Huge bag! Even though they call
this their Light-Pro or their Pro-Light.
This is the MB PL 3-in-1 36 Pro-Light from
Manfrotto, beautiful bag.
We're going to take a closer look.

you're ever in Miami come say hello to
me at Digital Goja showrooms.
So, here we have the new Manfrotto Pro-Light,
this is basically their lightest
material, empty weighs a little bit over 4 Lbs.
but it's meant to accommodate
some serious equipment. It's Ripstop Nylon,
which is water repellent and synthetic
fabric. This holds some pro gear in here,
I mean, so this is meant for the prosumer
or the advanced user, because if you used
to working with DSLRs you're going to
have up to 7 lenses in here, a flash
and a full-frame DSLR with a battery grip.
You also have different fasteners
so you can move stuff around, I'm going
to show you. You have multiple entry points
on here, so you can turn it into a sling
design bag or a standard backpack.
Course, if you're doing video, it's going to
allow you to work with something like
the Canon C100 Mark II with the handles,
a lens attached, microphone and even up
to three additional lenses and a backup
body. Plus, if you're some of the new age
videographers and photographers now
that like to work with drones this has the
room for a DJI Phantom 4 and even a
backup camera and some lenses.
So lets take a look at the inside of this guy.
First,
this is the
bottom opening in the front and notice
how, instantly, I have a huge lens in here.
This is my 6D with the 70-200 2.8 and that fits
very comfortably in there. And, on the
side pocket here, this is your rain cover,
even though, again, this is water
repellent treatment system, this does
have an additional rain cover that gives
you the added protection if you're
caught in a huge downpour. Notice how I was
able to fit a flash there and you also
have this pocket which is, again,
everything has velcro so you can
actually remove everything and set it up
to your liking and this guy allows you
to now store extra batteries, memory cards,
whatnot, right in here. So that's a really
nice added benefit. Now let's see if we
can move further up so I can show you
the rest of the space in here. Now notice
how I have 3 full-size lenses. I mean,
I'm not skimping on equipment here,
I have a very standard all around lens
that you need in today's full-frame
market, a 24-105, I threw in my favorite
Sigma 50mm 1.4 and for giggles
I brought on my 100 macro, beautiful
lens of course. So notice how easily all
this equipment fits in here and I still
have room to spare.
I actually took out some of the padding
and dividers here, this is of course
their very popular, very well padded
dividers.
Let's close this guy up and notice how
you have this system of closing for the
zippers, makes it a lot easier to close
it up. Course here's where you have the
capability of connecting a tripod if you
choose to. Course Manfrotto products are
going to give you the ability of taking
a tripod along. Now let me show you how
easily it is to access the side pocket.
So let's say you want to convert this to a
sling bag,
notice how I can now open this side up
and if I'm right or left-handed I can
access the camera from here, or, I can
flip it around the other way and now I
have the same capability on this side.
So that way you can access your gear
without having to use it as a backpack,
very thoughtful. Honestly a lot of
thought went into putting this guy
together. And back here you have your
laptop compartment, which gives you nice
procession for up to a 15" laptop.
And here is the harness system, very
extensive, very well-thought-out, great
lumbar support and notice how you have
the trolley attachment here, so if you
want to put it onto your carry-on you
can do so. And of course this, is TSA
approved size for a carry-on, so you can
take this guy onto the plane with you.
So there you have it, it's basically a
prosumer advanced design backpack that
Manfrotto has put on the market because
face it, there are a lot of us that now
are going into video, so you can work
with the larger video cameras and also
the drone system. Very modular, notice how
you have the top handle grip here,
so this allows you to carry it. I can go
on and on about all the external pockets
that this has but it has plenty of room
so you can take everything you would
need with you at all times. And notice
how you also have the top loading area
here, almost forgot about that, cause you can access it
this way and voila!
I put my video light in here with an
extra battery so, and you have more
compartments for storage.
Now let's take a look at how well the
padding is on this, obviously very well
padded. This is easy on your back, here is
your waist harness. Now, let me show you,
course it's connected here when we're
using it as a backpack but let me show
you how easily this is now to re set-up
as a sling.
Another thing is, they have really good
harness and strap management,
this allows you to put this to the
correct size so you don't have a bunch
of excess strap going around. So, now I'm
going to disconnect here, alright, and this
guy will now be placed into the storage
area so it's neat and out of the way.
Alright and now I'm going to use this
connection over here and there you have
it, now you have a sling design and you
can do it vice versa for the other side.
Weather you're left or right-handed
this allows you to convert the 3 in 1
into a sling bag, not just a regular backpack.
So, it gives you a lot of
different configuration options, you can
even crisscross the harness to wear
it in the front.
I mean they they gave you a lot of
options that makes this a very versatile
backpack design. So, if you are in the market
for a backpack that can fully maintain
all your gear, if you're going on a long
shoot, or even on vacation, or a long trip,
take a much closer look at the
Manfrotto Pro-Light 3 in 1 - 36 backpack.
Happy shooting!
