Review on Woodland MindShift 26L Daypack Backpack For Outdoor Activities by Adam Roman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dumb design flaw hurts this bag!

At this price point and size, I'm always amazed how a company can get close to an ideal and then do something so paramountly stupid! So here we have a bag that's certainly on the large side and it can easily accommodate two cameras, lenses and flashes and all of the little accessories you might need, but probably won't. It's well made and pretty nice looking in the green color.So what's the silly mistake they made? The bag isn't exactly deep enough to deal with cameras with a battery grip or a pro body! Seriously? We're talking an inch and maybe less. Just a half inch more depth would make things a LOT better for a camera like a Z7II with grip. Now my Z7II JUST fits, but not with a bracket attached. That requires lens removal and putting the camera on its back. Seriously? I'm keeping the bag because it does work for me, but my buddy just returned his because his pro DSLRs are just too tall. There's just no excuse and Mindshift would probably say "buy the bigger bag" but that thing is just too big. So in the end I'm happy with this bag, even if fit is a bit tight for a gripped Z7II. It's just that I can't imagine a designer missing on something so obvious that would hugely improve a bag like this. Job #1 is make sure CAMERAS fit, right? LOL! Anyway, if you own larger rigs, I suggest testing to see what fits. Mirrorless bodies obviously have a better chance. If I was in charge of this company, I'd fire the designer for such a blatant oversight.
