Hi! Is this still your current everyday carry? Can a 14" MBP fit on the inside compartment?
I still use it but not daily. I don’t know the measurements of the current 14” MBP; you’ll need to look that up and compare.
How would this fit the Nikon Zf, and a couple prime lenses?
9:15 i just got this bag and its awesome, but this doesn't make any sense to my, why there aren't any metal latches to utilize those brass eyelets to close when not using the velcro .What are they even there for?
That's a good questions… decorative, I guess!!
Bigger question can you fit your entire beard now into it since this was created 5 years ago and you forgot to shave it?
I got two of this bag as a camera bundle, otherwise I would never buy it. However, I’m surprise by how much it can hold, and it’s low key look is great to take to unsafe place like San Francisco. This bag reminds me of the school bag I used in middle school. The velcro is loud, the side pocket buckle is difficult to hook back and there is not much padding. A good utility bag but I wouldn’t pay that much money for it.
I am very impressed with the ThinkTank Retrospective 7 v.2, all the features are amazing, this is the bag I want to use for my photography gear!
what gear you can u put in?
Good review. I've watched it a few times but am still undecided.@@photojoseph glad to see you still use this bag because I have a question - Is the "31 cm" laptop slot a tight 31 cm, or is there some free play/give with that? I'm torn between the R7 or a bigger version dependent on whether my 31.3 cm, slim laptop will fit in that designated slot. On the rare occasion I might want to put it in there, it'd be a pain if it weren't actually possible. I really don't want to go larger unless I have to because I'm not that big and I'll end up weighing it down so much😄
I still use this bag to this day, three years later! It may well be my longest relationship with a bag 😂
Does it fit the Sony 200-600 lens?
@@photojoseph Extra words = extra value. I appreciate the content!
Thank you for supporting my journey with your kind and encouraging words.
How does this camera bag hold up against 2022 models would you still recommend?
I still use mine, and I still love it! It’s my daily carry. MacBook Air on the inside, iPad outside. Camera, coffee, and misc stuff. Great bag.
Dude the video was from 2018… it’s 2022.
Thanks for the review. Is the shoulder strap removable?
for the inside compartment, will it fit an ipad pro 2021 12.9 inch along with its keyboard since it was slightly wider than a 13 inch macbook air.
I know this was years ago but what a great demo! SO much more useful than the one ThinTank does - thanks!
I vibe with this guy. Big bag guy
What iPad is that one? I want a relative small/medium bag that fits an 11 iPad Pro
Wow, could you talk faster at first? Very good review! I have used the Retrospective 30’s for 2 years and love them!
I just bought this bag. Thanks for the review.
Brilliant video and really helpful for me looking for a new bag for my micro four thirds system. Thank you
What’s with the reenforced holes on the flap, for looks or to put a lanyard through to the back for security? I’ve just ordered the 5 v2.
you know… I think that's just design. Although sure, you could put a carabiner or lanyard through it!
Your videos are extremely helpful. I will be a faithful follower. Thank you.
I love the beg, but mine is the older model. The metal got rusted. That reason alone is why i dont upgrade on the new model. Still using the old model for already 5 years, and got a smaller version of it for my mirrorless. Great bag, but need brass.
interesting! I'd never heard that before.
Are you ready to give the V2 bag away yet ;)
Crap… yeah. Thanks for the reminder.
Silent movies went out in the 1920s, so…
Retrospective bags are great but they never have enough protection like foam filled walls. If it falls it will not protect optics inside.
If you're prone to dropping, may I recommend Pelican? 😬 I agree that they aren't the most padded bags, but for me that's great. Makes them thinner and lighter. I don't need a ton of padding; I need a way to carry and organize my gear.
Why not just loop the carry handle strap through for the carry on luggage handle? Not sure how you couldn’t figure that out
Cool. I’m sure that’s why they added the feature to v2 of this bag. Because it was totally unnecessary. I assume you own v1 and travel with it?
@@photojoseph it doesn't fall off when you tilt it, you have to tighten the handle strap so it's not so loose from the beginning. not that hard.
I’ve rewritten this response twice in an effort to not be as insulting as you have… Because as soon as you tilt the rolling bag to roll it, the camera bag falls off.
Am looking at getting this exact bag. Looks good for my gear--2xDSLRs, 4 lenses, 2x flash.
I like your beard, Don't talk so fast. appreciate your videos.
Mines just arrived however there's a nice 'tuck away' for the zipped inside that's not mentioned in the video which others was great.
Thank you for the detailed comparison!
Excellent bag and I love the review. Keep it up. I am going to buy the V2. thank you
like your presentation and enthusiasm :) thanks for that
Why thank you! For everyone who appreciates it, someone else tells me to drink less coffee ;-) I need more viewers like you! Hehe 😀 Hey have you seen my “2018 year in review” video? I just released it… https://youtu.be/bWFOgD9zfzY
What do you think of the Think Tank Spectral? I am thinking about getting one of these bags or the Peak Design Everyday Sling.
Great review - thank you! I have one question: Is it possible to completely remove (and put back on some day) the small handle (not the shoulder strap which I want to use constantly) on top of the bag?
u inspire me to get this bag. oh wow only 85 comments. thats huge. some people do give aways among 20 000 people lol
Lol it feels like you’ve never used original bag. Maybe it’s a secret for you but hand strap can be used to securely fix bag to the luggage. Such a promotional bs
Um, sure. That totally works. 🙄
Enjoyed the detailed comparison of these two Retrospective bags, thanks! Either one looks great but "free" is best & would obviously love to win your original Retrospective 7.
Like the review Joseph. The new bag looks well designed, but the old bag would likely fit my needs. After all, every photographer needs another camera bag.
Love think tank products! I would use this for my 6D + other accessories
Random comment! I WIN???!!
Love your channel and have subbed, keep up the great work!
Love your channel and have subbed, keep up the great work!
V.2 is also better because it eliminates the internal compartments which often interfered with easy gear removal.
Great video and review as always. Wow, M4/3 and the Mavic. That would be very close to my kit. Thanks for the review.
I love a good shoulder bag..
Looks like a great bag. Thanks for the in depth review
I hope that I win. Thanks
You should totally watch this video, Dean… https://youtu.be/oewc8YoyD7A
Thanks for opportunity. From a novice.
