I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).
I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.
I like:
- The simplicity
- The design
- The large main compartment
- Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert
I don’t like:
- No water bottle holder
- No quick access to camera
- To few images showcasing the insert in the bag
Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?
Would you recommend something else?
The roll top does expand nicely and fits quite a bit of stuff. The aesthetics of a filled roll top isn’t great, but I’m not the most stylish person, so take that with a grain of salt.
I’ve mostly packed a jacket, beanie, some snacks. Nothing too much.
If all you have is one camera and two lenses, you might consider just getting a camera insert that you can throw into any bag. It’d be way cheaper. I have a few from Tenba and they’re quite nice.
The roll top expansion will only be needed every now and then, so aesthetics for those times are not critical.
The problem I see with a camera insert in a small bag is that the access to the camera will still be inconvenient. Especially when packing stuff other than camera gear.
I like the look and features of the prvke, but the camera part might be a bit overkill for my gear. At least for the time being. I am considering upgrading to a Sony full frame mirrorless though.
the prvke smaller camera cube does not look that big… I don’t think you’re going to find a bag with side access where the cube is significantly smaller than the one in the prvke.
Put the bag at the top?
Or get one of those holster style cases for the camera, so its outside of your main bag, and just put the lenses in some protective thing.
