"There's just a big disconnection between hiking and photography." Well said! So happy there is now a design to accommodate backpacking and photography trips! Been searching for something like this. Thank you!
Been going back and forth between the Atlas athlete and this bag, and I think the overall empty pack weight of yours is the clear winner. Good stuff !!
the fact that this bag only weights 1kg and Blue is a color option is making me consider getting it even though I just got a new bag 2 months ago. Love your content keep killing it.
I am addicted to bags as well! I have over 10 brands of bags right now (shy of 30 bags in total) I do agree on that point of there is no compromise on camera/hiking gear from other bag companies, it's great someone came out with a solution!
Heaviest stuff does not go in the bottom champ. This is why all proper hiking packs have sleeping bag compartments in the bottom. Heaviest stuff at the top so the loads are distributed down throughout shoulders, torso and hips (not just hips).
I never thought I would hear lightweight and camera bag in one sentence. There are others that accommodate more none camera gear (F-Stop, Shimoda, Atlas, Wandrd) but they are not exactly lightweight, in fact they are around twice the weight or more for a similar seize putting them in the same weight class in some cases more the an 60-80l expedition pack! But costing almost double of what that expedition back cost and they won’t pack flat like this… So overall this look like a potential purchase, I had almost given up on camera bags. Doesn’t hurt I enthusiastic about coffee as well, nice Linea Mini you got there.
6:21 - sorry, but You are wrong. Intuition may suggest so, but we should carry the heaviest things at the top of the bag and the lightest things at the bottom - try it, you will feel that the backpack weighs much less on your shoulders. You're welcome. ;)
You had my at "I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE". Yesyesyesyesyes. Oh you ... Mr. Strohl. With a soon to be revealed charity venture in mind I just shot my first ever hiking-VLOG in "Les Vosges, France" for which I in fact brought a 2kg tripod and a fluid head all the way from Germany. So in the middle of the french wild just off of La Petit-Pierre I stood infront of my heavy-as camera set-up in my shorts, All-blacks jersey (gotta exhibit true love), and lone-peak runners and thought "I was just about to order a 600USD+ Dollar Dyneema Fiber tent. WHAT THE HACK WAS I THINKING?" So I send back tripod, fluid-head and all, fell in love with PD after two seconds of research (gosh) and THEN lost all hope in backpacks, as also the ultralight ones go like "meh, me don't like cameras". Then I found that experienced bloke that seems to share my sort-a-beard and my sort-a-humor - AND HE JUST MADE MY DREAM BAG? Respect to you ... and the van-door-reveal. Tito
I was sold at the thumbnail, but when you brought out the attachable pouch that fit your r5 and 24-70 I couldn’t even handle the thought of not having this bag. Please take my money!
Definitly a unique pack. If I hadn't found my perfect pack last autumn I'd check this out. It was really a long search to find the perfect pack and I'm glad I did. It's nice though if you can just design your own ;-)
Hi Alex. I’m taking a backpacking trip this summer and would love to but your backpack! Unfortunately, it looks like the small hasn’t been released yet. The website says the size is coming soon, but it’s been a year. Any idea on when the small size will be released? I’m 5”1 and my torso length is 16.5” which is just under the needed 17” for the medium :/
I wanted to buy a backpack, but the cost of shipping to Poland is almost half the value of the backpack. It is a pity that my country does not qualify for free shipping
There is only one problem with this backback: I ordered in July an paid the total amount of money for it. It was promised to get in August. Now it is the End of December and nobody has the backback shipped. Moment tells me I can have my money back, but I want the backpack. Whats up with it?
This looks so clean, Finally a solution for those big-mountain days; where I don’t have to compromise between my photography gear and all of the other mountain essentials. Can’t wait for my kit to arrive, and to start putting some miles on it this summer! P.s. - I look forward to thoroughly testing the claim it can carry unlimited Parmesan snacks ;)
Hello 👋 congratulations it looks great!! One question, it seems that both the Large and the Medium are 45L on thé website and I haven’t seen a Small...
The compromise of course is to use a small ICU unit in an fstop or other back that opens up fully on the rear. Then you have pretty much the same solution. Saying that, this pack might be much lighter? Also this beautiful pack has pouches everywhere and the large one on the back is amazing! Will this ever be available in New Zealand?
Hey sir ! Hi from France ! I can feel all the passion and energy you put in this project and I want to say “congratulations”, really! I can feel your passion and also how you worked hard on it. I’m not a pro, just someone who likes to take pictures for myself and I was looking for a useful and efficient bag so… what a good news 🥳. Coming in “Les Pyrénées” next week :)). Take care and looking for more videos about interesting gear.
I made a comment wayyyyy back when this was first announced, asking about leashes and I finally received my backpack today. It does not appear to have any leashes to allow you to attach your camera for safety attachment points around your shoulders? I have them macgyvered on previous ultralight backpacks and am disappointed they aren't on this backpack. I could have bought the pouches to add to my previous setup and been good to go. :-(
I've said this for years. I even asked cottage industry pack makers to build something. They wouldn't touch it. A dynema pack would be wonderful but no one will build it.
Eh you can really attach dedicated single camera pouches and "modify" any backpacking pack tbh. Daisy chains are not uncommon on hip belts and you can put it across your shoulder straps too. All depends on what camera you're taking of course. Mindshift rotation backpacks are pretty cool, they have a rotating dedicated camera bag hip belt that goes thru the bottom of the backpack. Some limitations on that and it's clunkyish but a better idea of what you're trying to get at.
The Rotation 180 50+ (50L) costs $499. This pack can do 45L+ with ICU and hip couch comes out to $320. It’s a reasonable proposition plus it favors the hiking aspect while allowing affordances for camera carry and access. I own a 22L Rotation 180. This bag has got really interested, I’m mostly looking to day hike or shorter hikes and 45L might be too big for my needs (this one is ultra light though). You are correct though, just buying this pouch alone and getting 30-34L day hike bag with daisy chains on the hip belt will nail 90% of what this bag is aiming for. The small rear access camera access is a nice touch though
@@greyspaniard Yeah totally, you can find those rotation bags on ebay alot cheaper nowadays, it's been out for years. The biggest one def looks chunky and heavy, never liked the look of those but the smaller models are good for day hikes. This bag still looks cool though don't get me wrong, i'm in that ultralight crowd and can see me using it but not gonna spend another $300 on a pack when i can do just 90% of that on my current bag like you said lol.
Hey Alex, great backpack! ..I think about buying the backpack but I have some guestions. Is the camera insert also included in the 200 dollar version or not? Is there just a second camera insert for the 300 dollar version plus the camera loader? When will they ship out? Many greetings from germany :)
Does anyone know the dimensions of this pack when empty vs full? Online I see it says it’s 30” tall. Is it always that big or what size can it shrink to?
You forgot about sweat. Sweat will infiltrate that camera area and ruin all the camera gear. Besides what do you do in a deluge? Rainwater will run down your back and enter the camera area- not even a rain cover can stop that. There shouldn't be zippers or a hatch right there- maybe put the camera door on the other side where it at least won't let sweat inside.
Hi Alex, I just found you on CZcams, because of the review of the new bag. I am going on an expedition to kirgistan to summit an over 7000m high peak and your backpack would be perfect, because I am planning on shooting a documentary, about that expedition. Unfortunately it is out of stock and it won’t be here in time if I wanted to buy it, so I wanted to ask you if it is possible to get my hands on one in advance. It would be absolutely perfect + I could prove that it works in the toughest conditions. In Regards, Ron Klokkers
Nice backpack, but I don't want to be rude but Manfroto has almost the same backpack for years the model is Ofroad, I have it, and I've been happy with it, only yours is problably a little lighter. Greatings from Slovenia.
sorry, that's nonsense. The Manfrotto Offroad comes in 20L and 30L. This is 45L. The Manfrotto 30L is 1.9kg. The Moment Strohl + camera insert is 1.3kg. I cannot comment on the comfort or durability of either, but they are clearly different beasts

super stoked for you bro! It was a pleasure meeting you and filming the launch video!
Stoked for this and stoked to put more miles on my bag!
Awesome, this is perfect for what I need. Thanks for your hard work
The bag looks awesome! Great work.
love the color
Love it when people do a real design. Great job, the pack looks good.
My Lord this is just perfect. I’ve been looking at all these packs for months and this just makes so much sense. Pumped! And Subbed!
Ordered 😍😍 I’ve been searching for a hiking/camping focused backpack with just a tad focused for camera gear but NOT the whole bag! Awesome design!
I've been looking for a pack like this for years. Well done!
Really hoping you make a daypack with the same design language!
Any plans to release more colors or a version 2? Would love it in neutral colors, like deep forest green, for birdwatching 👀
Definitely excited for mine to come in!
Loving the linea mini
Love this! I’m na UL hiker and have been looking for an UL camerabackpack for ages, this is perfect
Stoked on this bag! I was looking for something EXACTLY like this a few months ago. Definitely gonna pick one up!
I too share your addiction for camera bags and shoes ... and now your bag has been added to my collection!
love how many shoes you have haha
way too many..
@@alexstrohl never!
@Moment Love how you're still accepting pre-orders on a backpack that hasn't delivered for 7 months now.
I am addicted to bags as well! I have over 10 brands of bags right now (shy of 30 bags in total) I do agree on that point of there is no compromise on camera/hiking gear from other bag companies, it's great someone came out with a solution!
Heaviest stuff does not go in the bottom champ. This is why all proper hiking packs have sleeping bag compartments in the bottom. Heaviest stuff at the top so the loads are distributed down throughout shoulders, torso and hips (not just hips).
Would really appreciate if you release a different ICU that is wider and thicker to make better use of the space at the bottom of the bag.
I never thought I would hear lightweight and camera bag in one sentence. There are others that accommodate more none camera gear (F-Stop, Shimoda, Atlas, Wandrd) but they are not exactly lightweight, in fact they are around twice the weight or more for a similar seize putting them in the same weight class in some cases more the an 60-80l expedition pack!

Doesn’t hurt I enthusiastic about coffee as well, nice Linea Mini you got there.
Can you still fit all you need for a backpacking trip? Tent, Bag, etc.
Where can I get a Yellow one ?! love the bag !
Finally, a camera / hiking bag close to perfect.
WOOOP exciting
I always felt the same problem as you!
I am so happy that maybe you developed with moment a solution.
I’m addicted to backpacks and shoes too. 😃

That seems like the kind of backpack I need! I also had the same complaints about hiking/camera backpacks as you.
I was sold at the thumbnail, but when you brought out the attachable pouch that fit your r5 and 24-70 I couldn’t even handle the thought of not having this bag. Please take my money!
fully sent!

looks so good, dude.
hey alex! i know you mentioned that you were 5’11 and wear a Medium but what is your torso length?
Hi Alex. I’m taking a backpacking trip this summer and would love to but your backpack! Unfortunately, it looks like the small hasn’t been released yet. The website says the size is coming soon, but it’s been a year. Any idea on when the small size will be released?
I’m 5”1 and my torso length is 16.5” which is just under the needed 17” for the medium :/
Bravo Alex ! 👏👏👏👏
Je sens que je vais t’en prendre un 😉
Tellement longtemps que je galère avec des setups diy ! Merci pour ton taf !
I wanted to buy a backpack, but the cost of shipping to Poland is almost half the value of the backpack. It is a pity that my country does not qualify for free shipping
Similar to my Lowepro Sport 200, but this Strohl bag is lighter and has about 10L of more space. Well done, sir.
This is exactly what I been looking for
Is there any version of this bag in which I can carry my 200-500 nikor lens with D500?
I've been looking for a great hiking camera bag and I think I found it!!
Have you looked into the Atlas Adventure Backpack?
Is yellow still an option?
Hey Alex/Moment. Any chance the yellow is coming back?
There is only one problem with this backback: I ordered in July an paid the total amount of money for it. It was promised to get in August. Now it is the End of December and nobody has the backback shipped. Moment tells me I can have my money back, but I want the backpack. Whats up with it?
This is very exciting.
Superbe collaboration ! Je viens de prendre un Atlas pour des treks il y a un mois. Dommage !
Your link to the bag doesn’t work. Do you have another site now?
This looks so clean, Finally a solution for those big-mountain days; where I don’t have to compromise between my photography gear and all of the other mountain essentials.
Can’t wait for my kit to arrive, and to start putting some miles on it this summer!
P.s. - I look forward to thoroughly testing the claim it can carry unlimited Parmesan snacks ;)
no more than 20lbs say the engineers
best if 14 months aged parmesan

Shoot, If I didn't just get the MH Scrambler 37l this winter, then I would have gone with this.
Let's goooo Alex!
Looks amazing! Is there a link to that camera pouch? Would be an awesome addition to my kit!
Found it! www.shopmoment.com/products/strohl-mountain-light-camera-loader#productImage1

“Disconnection between hiking and photography” - so true… unfortunatelly, photography is not very compatible with any outdoor sport.
Does anyone know the dimensions of this pack when empty vs full? Online I see it says it’s 30” tall. Is it always that big or what size can it shrink to?

I like this bag. Just bought a different one because this bag didn't exist yet :(
Nice backpack, but I don't want to be rude but Manfroto has almost the same backpack for years the model is Ofroad, I have it, and I've been happy with it, only yours is problably a little lighter. Greatings from Slovenia.
doesn't have nearly as many stretchy pockets, weights 2x the weight!
sorry, that's nonsense. The Manfrotto Offroad comes in 20L and 30L. This is 45L. The Manfrotto 30L is 1.9kg. The Moment Strohl + camera insert is 1.3kg. I cannot comment on the comfort or durability of either, but they are clearly different beasts
Yea mate, but I've got a fu***ng Mamiya RB 😂
me want it!
Nearly perfect except for the colorfulness.
Comes in black too.
I love the colors, but there’s also a black one.
