McKinnon Camera Backpack 25L - Travel Camera Backpack by Peter McKinnon for Photographers, DSLR Backpack for Unisex

Loved the bag

I have quite a few camera bags that I have tested and nothing compares to this backpack. Even better that I got it on sale during the holidays. Fits a good amount of stuff. Zippers are great. Very comfortable to wear even all day if needed. I like it so much I got the matching nomatic sling. Great collaboration with Peter McKinnon. I would recommend the brand to anyone looking for a great quality bag.

Great bag, magnets on top lid is misaligned, good build quality overall, should be priced at 240$ not 399$

The McKinnon bag looks great and feels well-made—no doubt about that. But as soon as I unboxed it, I found myself immediately tallying up all the extra accessories I’d need just to make it actually work for my needs. And that’s where they get you. The design feels intentionally limited to nudge you into buying add-ons, turning this into a total cash grab. I ordered the bag with the large camera cube, which could work for bigger trips where you’re carrying all your gear and don’t need quick access. But for lighter travel or run-and-gun setups, I’d have to buy the small cubes. Then I’d need separate accessory pouches just to organize batteries, filters, and cables—because the bag itself only has two large accessory pockets and a couple of small ones barely big enough for a lens cloth or spare battery. There’s no real quick-access option unless you shell out for two small cubes and rotate one upward to reach it through the top compartment. But that eats up most of the internal space, so you’re trading access for capacity—hardly ideal. I was also surprised that the laptop compartment doesn’t include a separate tablet sleeve. For a bag at this price point, that feels like a miss. In the end, I returned the McKinnon and picked up the PGYTECH OneMo 2 25L instead. It came with every accessory I needed right out of the box and cost nearly half as much. For my workflow, it’s a far better value. If you’re just looking for a stylish, durable way to move your gear from point A to point B—and you don’t need quick access or detailed organization—this bag might work for you. But if function matters as much as form, there are far more capable options out there for a lot less money.

NOMATIC what more can I say.

I absolutely love this bag, I originally got the 35l but it was to big the 25l is the size of a normal bag and can fit under a seat on a plane so it never runs the risk of getting checked, it the ability to get different cubes is fantastic and the movable club for your back straps and to strap your tripod on the side are such a great thought. I’m so excited to Cary this bag around
