Hi Volker Films, I’m so happy to hear my video helped you decide. I love both, but boy I’ve been using the 16L (bigger one) all the time. The other one just holds my backup cameras now. What is the name of your tiny island? Is it in the US or somewhere else? Very cool life and I’ll visit your channel next to learn more about your films. Thanks for watching my video, and especially for leaving a comment. I always love to hear about my viewers!

Hi Joe, I’m so happy my video was useful. Having back problems is no fun, but fortunately sometimes with time and gentle exercise they improve. I wish you well with life and photography. Please let me know if I can be helpful to you in any way. It’s so nice to have loyal and friendly viewers like you! 🙏🏼😊

Hi K LL I’m always happy to read your comments, and I know you subscribe to my channel for investing information. You were the one person I thought of specifically when I expressed my gratitude for those who tune in for my investing films!! I’m so happy that you enjoy the other content as well, and it means a lot to hear that my style presentation style is easy to listen to. You are so nice and add so much goodness through your comments. I really look forward to them…it’s like you’re giving water and it helps me to blossom and grow. As I mentioned, KZfaq is new to me. I started and stopped once or twice over the past couple years, but 2022 is the year I’ve been able to just keep making videos and it’s been tremendously satisfying. People like you - and others who comment or leave requests or questions - make this so worth it and satisfying. Thank you again for bringing some sunshine to an otherwise drizzly day in Seattle!

@@animaldonut Hi Jeff! Thank you for the feedback as well! I'm so glad to know my comments help. I'm a firm believer that everyone needs a little encouragement, most especially people on KZfaq! I really enjoy supporting smaller creators who are putting out great quality content because I look forward to watching their channels grow. Have a great holiday weekend! 💐

I’m glad you like seeing the difference between the couple of “L” 🤓 I brought both on yesterday’s photo shoot - 30L for one gig, but only took 14 on my back and left 16 in car as backup gear. Thanks for your recent lens recommendations 🙌🏻 I appreciate your advice as I know it comes from experience! 😊📷🏆

@@animaldonut you’re too kind 🙏

You are very welcome! I love these bags. I use them all the time :) Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. Have a fantastic rest of your year and 2024!! 😊👍🏻✨

I’m so glad you liked it, Nakatosh! I thin this is the first time I’ve seen you here in the comments! It’s good to see you & I’m happy you liked the video. It took a lot of time to plan & organize it. I’m glad it was worth it!! 😊👍📷

@@animaldonut Yes, first time here :) I was looking for a backpack for the city trip and Tenba already has a fantastic shoulder bag. Your size comparison was very helpful. So I thought leave a subscription and a like there.

It’s a total pleasure. I’m so happy the video helped. I used my 14L today!

I just checked out your channel. I love doing drywall work. I’m just learning, but I have an aluminum hawk with a wood handle and a few taping knives. I’m nowhere close to your skills, but I enjoy improving every time I work with mud, tape, and sheetrock! Thank you!!! 🙌🏻🏆😃📷

@@animaldonutHa! You know, I didn't even have any utility when I started working on the ceilings. I am building house for me and my family and this is the first ceiling I ever did in my live. Actually everything I do on this construction is for the first time in my life. Building this house for a 3 years now. Almost done. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll move in ;) I only learn from youtube on how to build a house. Everyone can build a house if have enough time for learning and time for work. Happy you checked my channel!

Well, congratulations on the progress on your house. I had no idea that you’re not a full-time professional in the construction and contracting trades. You look very comfortable at work on the ceiling and careful using the ladder. Congratulations on all you have learned on KZfaq. You have a lot to be proud of in your progress in just 3 years!!! 👍🏻🏆😃

@@animaldonutThanks a lot for motivational comment! :)

You are very welcome!! I appreciate your comment, Alara! Have a wonderful day 🏆😊

Thank you so much for leaving a comment, and I’m happy that my recommendation was helpful to you. Yes, I love the 14L backpack and I use it all the time. The design is impeccable, it’s easy to use, it’s stylish, and it’s just such a great bag to work with. I’m so glad you watched my video and again thanks so much for leaving your feedback. It means a lot!

Yes, I know what you mean. I have been using the 16L as my main bag. I keep my backup gear in the 14L. Both great bags, but I recently bought a couple new lenses so I need more space. Thanks for your comment!! 😃

I can say you made no mistake at all getting the 16L instead of the 14L. I just took a long trip and brought the 16L and it’s a fantastic bag. I packed so much stuff - my camera, lenses, microphone, sweatshirt, laptop, chargers, cables, and tons of other stuff. There’s still more room, and I brought it on the plane as one of my 2 items. Fit under the seat in front of me during takeoff. The 14L would be great for a camera bag if you’re on a journey doing a lot of walking around. I love that bag, but the 16L is a wise investment, it is good for a longer trip where you wanna bring a bunch of stuff. You 💯 made a great choice! 🏆 I’m remembering you’d like more info on the triggers and lenses. Also, I bought a new Sony lens - it’s actually my first one, and it’s been really useful this past week. So, I will think of a good way to discuss this in a future video. It’s always good to know you’re out there! What have you been up to these days?

@@animaldonut Super busy, like you man. Hope to hear about the new lens. I was curious to hear your thoughts on choosing a lens and your opinion on how useful those triggers really are. Just newb stuff, really. I ended up buying a used lens and have been impressed with it. Funnily enough, buying this much better lens taught me how to get the most out of my kit lens. I think not knowing how to use a lens is a common issue with people, and they spend big bucks on glass when a little education would have sufficed. I didn't understand how to use a lens properly for bokeh, compression, etc. - I was so focused on framing and composition I hadn't learned the basics of using the tools. I learned a ton and there's a lot to say about this. I think a video along these lines could be popular.

Please remind me about the shoelace zippers! I'm watching this video to see what you're talking about. Thanks for watching & your comment!!😃

You’re very welcome My1sec :) I’m glad you recovered from falling into the water and you’re ok and I hope back to how you were before. I’m happy to hear your camera gear was ok. I have not yet put my Tenba gear to a test, but I have everything in these two bags and feel they help me a lot in protecting my new camera and helping me stay organized. Congrats on the v2 14L! I enjoyed watching your video “Little Garden in the City” and getting a feel for part of your country. I shot a video about the 14L in a park in my city, Seattle. If you’d like to see it just search my channel for a video called “Sony A7iv Backpack | Tenba 14L | Outside.” Of course this bag is good for any camera, I just happen to have a Sony (and a Canon) right now. I’ll keep the tall tripod caution in mind. I know what you mean, things on your pack that stick up can get you tangled in branches and shrubs! Hope you are having a good day wherever this finds you. Have you been to the US before? Thanks so much for visiting my channel and watching my Tenba video! -Jeff

@@animaldonut Jeff. Thank you very much for taking your time and watching the video on my channel. Sorry. I was late to introduce myself because I was in a hurry to greet you. My name is Brandon and I am a photographer who loves photography crazy. Born in Ceritos, L.A., where many Koreans live, I spent my school days in the US and New Zealand, and now I am living in Korea. I mainly do landscape fine art photography and sell my photos through Fine Art America, but I have been working for Getty Images since 2011. Although I have been with my best friend called photography for over 40 years, it seems that every day is new and there is a lot to learn. As I get older, I am reminded a lot of how important a bag that fits my body is. Your videos have been a great help and a great learning for me. Thank you again for your warm words and kindness. I hope you have the most wonderful day in the world. - Brandon

@@my1sec Hi Brandon, I am happy to hear from you. I think you may have written a comment when I first started my channel. Is it possible? Someone wrote from South Korea as I recall, maybe it was you. No problem if you were late to introduce yourself. It’s good to know you. Amazing how KZfaq connects people through our common interests. It’s great you are able to do landscape photography and sell your work through FAA and also Getty. I really appreciate a good bag for equipment (and comfortable shoes) as I gain experience with photography and life: I had an important photo shoot with about 10 people to make portraits of in downtown Seattle today. Because it was only me (no assistant) I had to keep the gear simple and make it possible to have it on me and accessible in a moment. This so the first time I’ve used the 14L “In the Wild” on a job and it was perfect. I never removed the pack once we got going because it was light and not a burden, and because all I needed was 1 camera, 1 lens, and 1 reflector. I have worked with and known some great photographers and they all keep things simple. Thanks for your note. Your message came at the perfect time, just before I left for my photo shoot. I did have the most wonderful day in the world, and your encouragement and kindness is a big part of it. Take care & stay in touch! -Jeff

@@my1sec Hey Brandon, I hope you are well. How is your Tenba Fulton v2 14L camera backpack working for you? I'm not sure if you got it yet, but if you did I hope it's a good traveling companion for you on your photo adventures. How has 2022 treated you as far as photography and your sales of photos to Fine Art America and Getty Images going? Do you have any photo travels or projects planned for 2023? I hope you are well, and I want to wish you much happiness and the best day ever! Please stay in touch, Best wishes -Jeff

@@animaldonut How have you been? Jeff, thank you very much for not forgetting to mention me. It's been a long time since I've seen you, so I have a lot to talk about. :) I ended up buying the fulton v2 16L because I needed a little more space than the 14L and prefer a waist belt for weight distribution. Your video was very helpful to me in making this decision. Thank you again, Jeff. Um! While using the bag, there were minor inconveniences such as no rain cover or buckle to tie the tripod, but it is a reliable companion for light shooting. A few days ago, I finished filming the fall season and returned home. Unlike when I was young, as I got older, I became interested in trees. Especially in this shoot, the trees dyed in autumn colors were so beautiful. Trees and trails between them. trees and roads. I put a lot of thought into expressing how humans and trees live in harmony in modern society. As soon as the editing of the photos taken this time is completed, I plan to continue contributing to Getty and American Fine Art. And next year, I plan to resume my social media activities, which I had been putting off due to busy filming. Including vero and instagram, which are getting attention these days. Winter is coming here now. Autumn is short, so I feel very sad. But I'll wait for spring. :) Thank you again Jeff and I hope your fall will shine more than ever. Best regards, Brandon HM. Oh

Hey jonuiuc! Thanks for letting me know about your Tenba DNA backpack. I’ve heard of them but I’ve never seen one in real life. It sounds flexible with the ability to remove the camera stuff and leave it outside. What kind of photos or video do you like to shoot? I’m so happy you watched my video, it means a lot. I hope you have the best week ever!! 👍🏆😊

@@animaldonut I'm just a hobby shooter, mostly travel and family, sometimes events if they let me bring my camera in. mostly stuck with a cell phone most of the time. I'm going to alaska this year, so may get more opportunity. a waterproof bag will come in handy there I hear.

@@jonuiuc Thanks so much for letting me know. A trip to Alaska is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I agree it’s good to have a waterproof camera backpack! I also take most of my fun pics of friends, family and dogs with phone. It’s just more convenient. Buy the quality of the new cameras is next level. For concerts where you can shoot with a telephoto or zoom you can shoot some really superb videos or photos. Thanks for being part of the channel. It’s good to have you around! 🙏🏼🏆👍

@@jonuiuc we are also going to Alaska, in June, and I am shopping for the best travel / day backpack for camera gear and misc rain gear for the tour part of the trip. I hope you have a great trip.

Thanks Rafal. I think if you had a small lens, not a zoom, you could probably put it in there vertically. I think the lid will close. I’m traveling right now with this bag, and as soon as I have a chance, I will check it out for you.

Hi, CHIEN527, You are very welcome. I’m happy the video is useful. YES, I just checked and if you want you can remove some of the camera divider panels (they are connected with Velcro) and it’s one space. I never knew that before - I thought they were two distinct compartments. Thank you for asking - now I know something new about this bag: one space yes, it is possible!! 👍😊

Hi Exodious. The 15.6 inch laptop will fit in the 16L. The 12.9 inch iPad will fit in both the 14L and 16L in the laptop slot on front pocket, absolutely. The 16L should also fit the 15.6 inch laptop. If you would like me to check, just send me the length x width dimensions, and I will measure it for you. I think the steam deck will fit in there as well. I’m not sure of the dimensions of that, but you could always put it in the top “roll down” compartment with some padding around it. Let me know if you have any questions at all, I’m happy to help. Also send me those dimensions and I’ll measure my 16 L to make sure that you’re 15.6 inch laptop would fit in it.

YES!!! Edmund Teng, I just measured them both - they are in the room in front of me right now ready for my photo shoot today! 14L is 10.5” 16L is 12.0” That’s 100% accurate. I hope this helps you! Thank you so much for watching my video. I hope to see you again in the comments! 👋😊⭐️

You are in luck. After reading your comment I brought my 16L to the Apple Store because I don’t own a 16” MacBook Pro. I’ll make a video soon and show you my findings…I shot a brief video in Apple Store as proof! Are you a subscriber? If so you’ll get an automatic notification when I post the video. If not I’ll reply to your comment when I make the video so you can see it!

You’re welcome, and thanks for commenting!! Yes, I think the Canon EOS 7d will fit well in the 14L!

Off the top of my head, the shoulder straps are both equally comfortable. The 16L has a wider sternum strap - so if you have broad shoulders and you use that strap you may prefer the 16L. I have both bags and like them a lot. When I travel I prefer the 16L because I can fit more clothes and a slightly bigger laptop, cables, chargers - it’s a great backpack. The 14L is great too, but I prefer it in my own city as a day backpack because it’s smaller & lighter. I don’t think you can go wrong with either. The shoulder straps on both are well-engineered and comfortable!!

@@animaldonut thank you for taking out time to explain all this, really appreciate it 🫡

@@mm_137 my pleasure! Happy to help! 😊✨

Hi! Happy to help: 1) I have had no problems on hot days with this bag. Check out the video I did called “In the Wild.” I don’t remember if it was with the 16L or 14 L, but they are both similarly fine to carry on hot days. 2) I’ve had the 16L for a few years now. I’ve always enjoyed wearing it. It’s really never a hassle to wear it. Although when I have it stuffed with camera gear, it does get heavy. So I guess I’d have to say it’s a more comfortable bag when it’s not stuffed full of camera gear, laptop, charger, etc. Heavy is not so fun 😅 3) There are not any security features that I’m aware of. I’ve never used a lock with this bag. The best feature is that the camera section must be accessed by the zipper which is against your back. So if you’re wearing this bag, that feature itself keeps your camera gear protected. When it’s not on your back, that’s a different story. This bag is pretty lightweight, and not meant to prevent people from getting into it who want to. Thanks so much for my video and for your questions. Let me know if I can answer any others. 👍🏻😊

@@animaldonut thanks for the response. I just ordered the bag online and hoping to get it in a couple days. I like the fact that it has a small camera section (I don’t have a ton of gear). I also like that the top can expand if you’re packing other items and/or clothing. It seems like a hybrid between camera bag and personal bag.

@@bestinkamloops Yes, you got it perfectly right about it being a hybrid bag. It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made re: camera gear. I think you’ll love it.

Yes, I know what you mean! It would make it easy to access your camera without taking it off your back!! Thanks so much for watching my film!! 😊🏆🙏

@@animaldonut you can actually buckle up your hip belts and just swing the back around

Thanks Agustin! After I read your question I opened up the rolltop compartments in both of 14L and 16L. I would say the 14 L is not quite as deep - about 2 inches less depth. And perhaps a little less volume than the 16L. In real world terms, you could probably put an extra sweatshirt and sandwich in the 16L. So it’s not a huge difference, but a little more space. So that would be my best estimate. There might be more scientific ways of measuring the volume, but I’d say the 16L holds a little more stuff!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check this for me 🤩

@@agustinrecio You Are very welcome Augustin! Tell me about yourself, what kinds of things do you photograph? Is there anything special you would like me to discuss in future videos? Thanks so much!! 🙏🏆😃

Absolutely! It’s my every day heavy duty shooting bag. In fact, I’m bringing it with you to my photo shoot tomorrow morning. The 14L is more of a convenience pack if you’re taking a day hike or exploring a city. Also, I could see it as a good bag for a street photographer, who has one body and some smaller lenses. But when you really need to carry a larger lens like a 100-400 mm or a 70-200 f2.8, the 16L is the way to go!

It’s a pleasure! So glad you like it. It took me a little while to get used to it. That part about not dropping the lens because the zip was not closed is the most important lesson, I’m glad you grasped it! It’s been a superb bag. I use the 16L and 14L every day. They continue to be rugged and dependable. I’ve used them for more than a year and they still look as good as new!

@@animaldonut As a safety addition to these kinda bags, I have an idea, that is, to have strong magnets around the zip line so it will always snap immediately and will be some sort of protection than zip being opened. Not a fool proof solution but I think it had potential. Hope companies picks this idea and develops on it! Once again Thank you 😊 🧡

Hi 👋 Alex! The waist belt is fully removable - I didn’t know it but just checked my bag to answer your question. The nylon straps at both corners of the bag have a little plastic buckles and you can unthread them. The front pocket does extend all the way down to the bottom of the bag. The zippers don’t go all the way down, but they go most of the way down. But the pocket continues below where the zippers stop their travel. Hope this is useful. Thanks for checking out my video. Let me know if you have any other questions! 🏆 📷

@@animaldonut That's terrific, thank you!

I don’t know if it will fit. I googled the clip and took a look. It will surely fit in the 14L but in the straps I do not know. Wish I had one so I could try it for you. Would the peak design capture clip be useful to a photographer / videographer using a Sony A7iv? If so, maybe I can buy one and try it out and give you a solid answer. Let me know!

@@animaldonut it was one of my best purchases, especially when traveling

Much appreciated! I have used mine for a 13” MBP and it fits fine. Let me see if it looks like it will fit a 14” MBP. It might take a bit to measure it! Stay tuned :)

@@animaldonut All good, based on the specs of Tenba's website, it looks like the 14L should be able to fit a14" laptop at max, thank you though!

Hey Kevin, I checked out the laptop space in the 14L to see if a 14” MacBook Pro might fit. I don’t have a laptop that size to try (mine is the 13” MBP) but it would be a snug fit. It might work, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the 13” is the largest laptop that would fit. Maybe you can call Tenba and asked them? My guess is they have customer service for specific questions like that. Another idea is if you live in the US, maybe you could buy it on Amazon and try it out to see if it fits. If it doesn’t, they let you return things free of charge, so that’s an option. Where I live, we can bring an item to a Whole Foods, Market, or a UPS store, and it’s pretty easy Peezy to return things to Amazon. I hope this works out for you, whatever you decide to do! Have a sensational rest of your week! Jeff

@@animaldonut Appreciate the update, I ordered one already from BHPhoto, so I'll find out one way or another. Thanks again for checking.

​@@KevinNugeplease come back and let me know if it fits!!! Thanks mate 🎉

That’s a great question, and I will be able to put my hands on that 16 L in a little while. I will squish it down and see if it makes it to 18 inches. I know that rolltop can account for a lot of the height to the bag, so if there’s not much in it, it might just work. By the way, I have used my 16 L as a personal item, not a carry-on, and there’s never been a problem. It does fit under the seat in front of me. Having said that, it’s a pretty big bag and it doesn’t leave much room for your feet.

Hey Chris, Yes, it looks like it can squish down to 17” and if you really roll the top down all the way and cinch it well it’s about 16”. This is not a super precise measurement, but the 16L is certainly less than 20.1” without the rolltop full of stuff. Hope this helps! Jeff

@@animaldonut Thanks for the help!

Hey Chris, just checking in on you! Did you ever get that 16L, and if you did, how’s it working out for you? Hope all’s good amigo! Jeff

​@@animaldonut Actually just came in today, got it configured for all my gear and so far it's great! I had ordered a Nya-Evo originally (prior to your original response), but that thing was so uncomfortable that I'm sending it back tomorrow.

Hi Andy, yes, it’s definitely removable! I took mine off the 16L the other day and put it away because I don’t need and and didn’t want it hanging around. By the way, traveled across the USA and used it as my carry on bag with camera, laptop, lots of stuff in it and it’s such a great bag. I used it every day for my work too, it works just like new 1.5 years later.

@@animaldonut thanks! Super helpful to get feedback like this! I’m torn between the 14L and 16L versions. For camera gear I think the 14L should work for me, since my Canon M6ii kit and lenses are quite compact. I like the smaller size, but am not sure if there’s any extra room for a laptop that’s 13” x 9” x 1” to fit in that pouch on the 14L. That’s a little bigger than the dimensions Tenba lists. My laptop fitting is the key to this being an everyday carry bag for me. Do those pouches have a little leeway or stretch to them to allow something slightly bigger?

@@andyfeig5896 Tell me which laptop you have. Is it a 13” MacBook Pro? I have the 14L nearby so I can try it out with my 13” MacBook or I can put a ruler to it for you and see if those dimensions you provided will work. I’d hate for you to get the 14L and it not fit your laptop. Another option is you could always order it on Amazon and they give you a month to return it and free return shipping if the size doesn’t work. You’d probably have to live in the US though. Let me know how I can help!

@@andyfeig5896 On second glance, it looks like it’s a different laptop than 13” MBP because it’s 1” thick and that’s a lot thicker than the thin MacBooks and MacBook Air. I don’t have a laptop that thick to test it out, but I can put a ruler in the laptop pouch and see if 1” will work.

@@animaldonut Wow, thanks for all your help!

I love these bags. Used my today! 😃

Hey there! Do you know if the 14L fits a 14 inch MacBook Pro?

@@animaldonut holt sh! I just went to the store and tried it out. The 14 inch mac book pro fits perfectly! Fits like a glove really

@@DDHDTV That’s cool AF!!! 🔥 TBH I had no idea if the 14” MacBook would fit, and happy to hear it’s like a glove!!🧤

I just set it in the bag “as is” and it’s fine. It doesn’t bounce around. I do use some of the many extra blue dividers at the end of the lens (next to the lens cap) to fill the space there. Not that the lens will slide down, but I like to keep the dividers in the bag and they fill that space well. I hope this is useful. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

@@animaldonut thanks for this. It’s been so difficult to find a bag that will fit the a7 series properly. Will it fit both a 24-70 G and 50mm G master lean with two smaller lenses?

@@Poopdeck1015 If you are talking about the 16L it may be possible. I’m not sure of the sizes of the lenses you mention. I think the 14L will be too small - if I remember correctly the 14L is large enough for 1 camera with a lens attached and 2 other lenses. It sounds like have more lenses, so the 16L would likely fit better. I made another video about that 16 L Tenba bag, I’ll provide a link to it below.

I just realized the other video is an “unboxing” but does not address how much stuff exactly fits in camera compartment. One idea is that Amazon permits returns within a month or so. If you get Amazon where you are you could always buy and see whether it fits all of your gear. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fp6Yi9x429W0e2Q.html

@@animaldonut cool thank you. What’s the depth?

Thanks for the input! I made that video a long time ago. My mistake! I have had no music in my videos the last few months! 🙏🏻 Thanks again for your feedback, music can be a distraction on top of the spoken word. True!

I’m glad that at least this one was better. I made this new video because someone else said they wished I’d put the things down on a table. So, I placed them on a table and showed how everything fit in the bag. But, as you pointed out, I probably could have framed it better and focused more on the bag and less on myself. It’s good criticism and I will try to use it in a positive way to make a better future video about this bag. The 16L is a fantastic camera backpack. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the problems with the video. Not everybody would take that time they would just click away and I’d never know. :)
