hi I'm Dustin Abbott and today I'm going
0:12
to show you how you can put Sony's new
0:14
4800 mm lens into Peak Design's new 6 L
0:19
bag are you ready well no I'm not
0:22
actually going to do that but what I am
0:24
going to do today is show you how that
0:26
the new 6 L bag is just so much more
0:28
useful than the 5 bag that I reviewed
0:31
about 6 years ago whereas this bag
0:34
worked okay if I was using small apsc
0:36
sized gear even though it's only one
0:39
liter difference on paper it is pretty
0:41
astounding how much different it is when
0:43
I'm trying to use fullsize gear in the
0:46
old bag versus the new bag if I try to
0:49
put something like my Sony Alpha 1 with
0:51
this new vro 35mm f1.2 lab pretty chunky
0:55
lens if I try to put that into the 5 L
0:58
bag here's what happens
1:04
however if I try to put the same
1:06
combination into the new six L bag no
1:09
problem we can zip it up we've got lots
1:11
of room inside what's more this new 6 L
1:14
bag that I'm reviewing today is in Peak
1:16
Design's great new coyote cover colorway
1:19
I've already reviewed in their straps
1:22
before in the coyote colorway it's one
1:24
of my favorites and so I'm really glad
1:26
to get an everyday use kind of bag this
1:28
is their everyday s sling 6L glad to get
1:31
it in coyote and here's the reasons why
1:34
I got the everyday sling 6 L bag before
1:37
I took a couple of trips and in
1:39
particular looking towards those for
1:41
example I did a recent trip to Japan in
1:44
which I carried the alpha 1 I carried it
1:48
this Tamron 28 to 200 mm typically with
1:51
those both attached on one side going in
1:53
there and then on the other side I had
1:55
two L layers going with the both the
1:58
sigma 20 mm
2:00
F2 and then the sigma 65mm F2 lenses
2:04
stacked in there with their unique
2:06
dividers in between them and so I was
2:09
carrying three different lenses I had
2:10
plenty of room for other things I a
2:14
pocket that I love that's near the back
2:15
here where I could have things like my
2:17
wallet and my passport hidden there in
2:20
this front pocket here I had memory
2:22
cards I had backup batteries things like
2:25
that some cleaning supplies and then in
2:28
the front pouch here I could carry a
2:30
variety of different things for one
2:32
thing I always carry a strap and so if
2:34
ever I want to just have a camera
2:36
attached to me and hands free I have
2:38
some more cleaning supplies it carried
2:40
some currency in there some various
2:42
things that I would have in the pock and
2:45
once it's all closed up and stored away
2:47
I would have a very con convenient
2:50
little package where I could zip up and
2:52
go very Sleek what's more the new 6 lit
2:55
bag has enough room in that same rear
2:57
compartment where you can actually store
2:59
up to an up to an 11in tablet and store
3:02
that away very discreetly to where you
3:04
wouldn't even know it's there from
3:06
looking into the top of the bag on a
3:09
more recent trip to my Myrtle Beach I
3:11
took was very happy to find that I could
3:13
store this combination I was testing two
3:15
vro lens of the 35mm f1.2 lab that I was
3:19
just mentioning and then also their new
3:21
Pro Series 885mm f1.4 and what I found
3:25
is that I had plenty of room to store
3:27
both of those lenses inside here in fact
3:29
I could even store like the 85 mm with
3:32
the hood a fixed into place and again
3:34
still have plenty of room to be able
3:38
to zip everything up into a very nice
3:41
and Sleek package that I could throw
3:43
over a shoulder on the back I had it on
3:45
me while riding a horse different things
3:47
like that one of the other things that I
3:49
like about this particular combination
3:51
is that I'm thinking not only about
3:53
packing my gear for travel but also how
3:55
I'm going to carry the gear when I get
3:57
there and while having large ger
4:00
backpacks is all well and good if that's
4:01
all you're doing a lot of times I don't
4:03
want to carry a full-size backpack and
4:05
so having this is more convenient and
4:07
the shape of it means that it's very
4:09
easy for me to put this near the top of
4:11
a carry-on luggage and still have lots
4:14
of space behind for other things in fact
4:16
while in Japan I carried this in here
4:19
and while taking a trip up to ISU for
4:21
you know a day and a half I had enough
4:23
room to carry all of my uh also all of
4:26
my other luggage the clothes I was
4:28
taking up their toiletry bags all all of
4:29
those other things and pack it all
4:31
inside this space and still have my
4:33
camera bag there when I wanted it very
4:36
often when I'm doing an overnight trip
4:38
my luggage is actually going to be this
4:40
peak design travel backpack and uh be
4:43
again for the same kinds of reasons it's
4:45
very easy for me to throw this up into
4:48
the top of the bag I can put it in
4:50
either direction have lots of leftover
4:52
room inside where I can store a lot of
4:54
things uh be it clothes you know the
4:56
various other things I'm going to carry
4:58
and then also have lots of room in other
5:01
spaces to pack even more clothes in and
5:03
so it's just proven to be something
5:05
that's convenient not only as
5:06
essentially using it in the place of
5:09
like a packing Cube for my camera
5:12
equipment but also that means that when
5:13
I get there I have the option of
5:16
carrying it as over theh shoulder cross
5:18
body and you can even convert it to
5:20
where you carry it around your waist if
5:22
you so desire one of the other things
5:25
that's a big deal to Peak design is
5:26
their sustainability and so one of the
5:28
cool things about the coyote U pack that
5:31
I've got here is it there it's made out
5:33
of what they call their xack material
5:35
that it's actually the outer shell is
5:37
100% recycled fishing nets that have
5:40
been the nylon's been taking for them
5:42
and converted into the fabric that's
5:43
used here it's fully waterproof it's
5:46
tough It's durable and I will note on
5:47
the note of the durability while this is
5:49
a version one rather than a version two
5:51
bag I've been using this bag for a lot
5:54
of years at this point about seven years
5:56
and it's holding up just fine frankly it
5:58
doesn't really look all that much older
6:01
than the day that I started using it and
6:03
so I have kind attested the fact that
6:05
these bags do hold up and they're nicely
6:07
durable I did a lot of walking around
6:10
Japan in various places carrying this
6:12
bag all the time it stayed comfortable
6:15
while I was there the other thing that I
6:16
do like about a sling style bag like
6:19
this is that if you want to change
6:21
lenses or something like that you kind
6:22
of ended up almost end up with a mobile
6:24
workstation where you can set things
6:26
here without ever having to set things
6:28
on the ground doesn't feel all that
6:30
precarious you've got a safe place to
6:31
put things while you change your
6:33
equipment around the bottom line is that
6:36
while I found the 5 L bag it worked okay
6:38
if I was using apsc as sized gear I find
6:42
that the 6 lit bag even though it's not
6:44
a big difference between 5 L and 6 l in
6:48
practicality it has both the extra width
6:50
and the extra depth that allows me to
6:53
carry fullframe gear and so rather than
6:55
having as I had to do with the the 5 L
6:58
bag often if I wanted to use a you know
7:00
a full-frame camera with a good size
7:02
lens I would have to take you know all
7:04
the dividers out and lay it just flatten
7:06
there for it to work which meant that I
7:08
was basically stuck with carrying One
7:10
camera one lens whereas here as you can
7:13
see I can either have multiple large
7:15
lenses or I can have uh you know two or
7:18
three or even more smaller lenses in
7:20
here along with the camera body and so
7:22
it's just much more practical in the way
7:24
that I actually shoot for myself price
7:27
tag here is about1 130
7:30
closer to 170 180 Canadian and so it's
7:34
as with most Peak design products
7:36
they're not super cheap however they do
7:39
have you know industry-leading
7:41
warranties on their things they're
7:43
durable they hold up and frankly there's
7:45
a lot of things that I really like about
7:47
Peak Design's just overall design
7:49
philosophy and the way that their
7:50
products work together and so if you're
7:52
looking for a bag where you can store a
7:54
full-frame camera and a few lenses and
7:57
go in a sleek and convenient way this is
8:00
pretty great and I have found that it
8:02
served me well in the multiple trips
8:03
that I've already taken with it if you
8:05
want more information you can check in
8:07
the description down below there is
8:08
linkage there um where you can go and
8:10
look at the product you can get maybe
8:12
more questions answered and beyond that
8:14
there are some buying links if you'd
8:15

8:17

8:18
