Hey Guys, How are we all keeping?

So after I had a lot of questions about one of my new bags, I thought I'd do a quick review/ first look at the Gitzo 30L and share a few thoughts as there isn't much out there on this pack!

Full disclosure I got the bag for free as I was helping Manfrotto out with some in store workshops last year with Wex Photo in the UK. I had the chance to choose a few products and this was top of my list. I'm under no obligation to review the bag, but as lots of people asked, I thought I would!
This isn't any kind of "paid for review", I only feature gear I actually like!

I've been using the Adventury over the last 8 months now as my go to day bag. It has enough space for all the kit I need on the daily, my main tele lens plus a spare body and wide, as well as having loads of room for personal gear. The roll top access is really nice for grabbing out a coat or flask and the internal camera section provides a great protection for all my photo kit.

The outside is made of a really nice durable ripstop material and the drab green colour is perfect for wildlife photography. In use I've found its just about the right size for a day out looking for wildlife and other than wishing it had a little bit more support on the hip belt and straps for when its fully loaded, its rapidly become my "go to" bag for wildlife photography close to home. You can check out the bag here, they also do a 45L version if you need to carry larger lenses or even more gear!
