Hey everybody!
I wanted to get on really quick and talk to you about some new tech swag I got over the
weekend.
I found this backpack from Think Tank.
It is their Urban Approach Mirrorless Camera bag.
Say that one again, Urban Approach Mirrorless Camera bag number 15.
I'm assuming that these come in different sizes probably and this is the 15 size.
I shoot most of my YouTube videos and vlogs that I do on a Sony mirrorless camera.
I use the Sony NEX - 5T.
It has since been revamped into some crazy awesome different name.
The main reason I went to this camera is because it's so much smaller and compact but still
gives me great picture quality and travels light.
That is the big thing.
For me as a video person, I love traveling light.
I don't really want to appear like I have a whole bunch of stuff with me, especially
when I'm flying.
So, to start off minimalist design for sure not too much going on here.
Pretty calm, lax bag.
The front pocket I would say is about 3 to 4 inches deep and pretty shallow.
So maybe you fit a passport in here, your cell phone something that you might need quickly.
On the side you have a nice mesh pocket that you can maybe put a water bottle in, you also
have these straps that you can hook extra carrying cases and bags to if need be.
A lot of people do that, they'll loop them in through here.
Going to the back, the awesome thing about this bag is that it keeps a low profile but
usually there's a trade off with smaller bags like these.
It'll only maybe hold a 13 point whatever inch laptop or it'll maybe only hold an ipad.
This bag holds both.
So you can fit a laptop and a tablet in this sleeve.
Which is super awesome for me because when traveling and going through security, you
end up needing to take out your laptop and your tablet and to have only one section to
have to deal with to take that out is great.
Now moving to the side.
This bag comes with a tripod area and strap.
This strap comes with your bag to help you secure any tripod or monopod you want to your
backpack.
If you're using a tripod you'll put two of the legs into this hook, or one, depending
on how thick your tripod sticks are.
Then use this to velcro to the side and secure the head to the bag, and this is adjustable
it tightens and loosens depending on the thickness of your tripod or monopod.
I personally travel with monopods because I just like them better than tripods, but
my monopod works great in this as well.
Moving on to the inside of the bag.
Lots of storage.
Nothing but storage here.
It's really awesome.
It comes with many different pockets.
I put a variety of gear in here.
I'll put my recording device, I'll put my Sony Action Cam in here, all of the batteries
I need, my media, storage, hard drives.
You can carry up to 5 lenses in here.
I mean you can carry as many lenses as you want but there's endless possibilities here.
Completely customizable and moveable to whatever shape and size you want.
Also, on the inside is the water cover for when it rains.
You can cover your bag and keep all of your equipment nice and dry.
And on the wall flaps you have more storage in these two mesh pockets in the front.
So, all in all a very solid bag and I've really enjoyed using this bag over the weekend so
far.
Finally, on the back you have really nice comfortable straps with mesh backing, and
also for when you're traveling, you can open this section and your bag will fit over your
rolling bag.
So, once again easy movement easy access just all around comfortable bag for you and your
gear.
So this is the Think Tank Urban Approach Mirrorless camera bag.
I really enjoy this bag, good job Think Tank.
This bag I believe retails for $170.
The camera store where I bought mine was having a sale that day, so I got it for 15% off so
ended up coming out to around $140ish I think.
Which is pretty good considering, so to get one under $200 that I really like and I can't
see myself buying another camera bag for quite some time.
This one really does meet all of my needs very well.
So yeah I just wanted to get on and show this bag to y'all and how much i'm loving it, and
thank you Think Tank.
If you have a camera bag that just rocks your world, and does everything you need it to
do and more let me know what it is in the comments below and where you purchased it
and why and I'll see y'all when I see you!
