woah he's a time travel photographer!!!

Awesome video, Roman! Your explanation at the beginning about your profession and the importance of redundancy in your equipment was really helpful. It's clear that you invest a lot in your gear, but you also made it clear that not everyone needs that level of equipment. Keep up the great work!

Great video as always Roman, redundancy in all businesses is very important and you have it well covered, good message at the start explaining you do this for a living and that is why you invest heavily in having this level of redundancy in your kit bag. And also pointing out that it’s not necessary for everyone to have this level of equipment 👍

As always informative and inspiring. I particularly appreciated your discussion of the lenses. Often one is led to believe that only prime lenses or only zoom lenses are it ! But it is horses for courses - and I found that the course may change during a trip. Zoom 24-200 for daytime „touristy“ shooting, grab shots out of cabs etc. And the fast prime lenses for situations where i want to be less noticeable or for nighttime.

I have been watching your street photography channel for a while now, and noticed you b(r)ought the XF 90mm with you to Istanbul for street. I can understand the appeal to shoot from across the street and all that. The shots are great (sharp and telephoto look : bokeh and compression), btw.😍 But obviously the XF90mm will not work as well if you were to go in and out of building (too long for indoor shoot, I think)... So I am eagerly waiting for your "XF90mm for street review" vlog!

This is one of the most concise what’s in my camera bag videos I have ever watched

I always appreciate your honesty in all your videos. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for video Roman, there is some useful kit you have that I might just get for my travels ! Many thanks

That's a lot of kit, but it doesn't feel over-the-top at all. I enjoy seeing the mindset of someone taking kit because it serves a function as part of your career rather kit for kit's sake.

DUDE, this is a great vídeo!

Love your no nonsense approach to videos.

I thank you for including "the most important bit" 00:22 a lot of folks are swindled into buying more crap. Anyways great vid !

Great timing! I've been looking for travel bags.

Straight to the point and everything you need to know, thanks for this Video! Very informative.

Loved the outro 😁

Excellent video mate appreciate you sharing all this. Your super down to earth and to the point. Your photos are always amazing good job!

Your London photo guide looks amazing! Will have a look.

Great little video Roman and with an intriguing title. Made me wonder; are you a Full-time, Travel photographer, or a Full, Time-Traveller photographer?

Hi Roman, are you not tempted to use the Sigma 18-35 F1.8? It is basically like having 3 primes in one lens, F1.8 is almost as good as F1.4 and as you know the zooms are so practical. Yes it's bigger, but not bigger than 18mm, 23mm, 33mm combined.

Hi Roman! You have just gotten a new subscriber. I wandered to your channel as of now I only have an x100v and looking around to going full frame (canon or sony) but had this itching feeling of not having fuji. Great content! I live in london and will see your guide! Thanks!

Smash the kit... I want to know about the jumper!!!

Great video. Would appreciate a more detailed one about exactly how you fund your travels through KZfaq photography. Would love to travel the world before I get chalky bones and can't make it to the loo on time. I know it's a saturated arena and the odds of realising my dream are one in a billion, but it won't hurt to know about it. Thanks.

Been waiting for this one! Also, somehow missed you have a second channel. Instant sub!

Be careful with the MINIX charger, mine blew up in Romania last year and it was my only charger that I had. So yeah, it was not fun finding chargers in a foreign country when you are backpacking. Luckily, I bought it off Amazon, so I had no troubles replacing it.

probably the most honest video ever.

Again Great Video Roman 👌 thank you

Candid and like it. Subscribed!

Getting ready for another European riverboat cruise this year. Going to to travel with a weeks worth of clothing in a carry on. Airlines are notorious for losing your bag.

Thanks Roman, I really appreciate your very natural way of delivering you material, and your thoughtful approach. Also, nice images. Was wondering do you ever use a VND for your video? THANKS!

I'd love to see a closeup of how you fit all that stuff in your Peak Design bag. I have the PD 20L Backpack and my Fuji lenses are either rattling around loose, or too tight and won't fit.

outtakes are the best part 😂

Wow wish I had seen this video before I went to London. Your guide would’ve been useful

Man!! you are so honest

Interesting lens setup, do you sometimes miss an 85mm equiv.? I feel like the 135mm is too long for some occasions and I would then like to have something in the middle of the 50 and 135

Thank you for these videos. I’m torn between the X-H2S & X-T5. I’m 90% stills but YT has me fearing ISO 3200+ from the X-T5 while I’ve owned the X-H2S and love it. Would LOVE the additional resolution but not if it comes at cost of noticeably worse noise at 3200+.

Thanks

If I did a video like this... I think I would have to do a "whats in my gear drawer", "what backpack options do I have" and "what do I take with me when I do X". Travel is always hard... but it's important to pack based on what you think you will shoot and just live with it. I have an upcoming 2 week trip to Hawaii. My key photo gear will go in the Wardrd Prvke 31L (great backpack in terms of travel / flexibility). Sony FF system with 16-35, 24-70, 100-400 and 35mm prime (can't be without a 35mm prime anywhere!). I will have a Sony RX100 VI as a backup (but will take if there are days I want to be super light), and my Mrs will have a Sony ASPC 18-135, and 50mm Macro. This loadout is great in terms of flexibility (and of course we get dual use and backup between my and my wife). In different locations I would probably opt for more primes (I have a bunch) and forego ultra wide angle and tele zoom... but in a place where you can be shooting anything from astro to wildlife... choosing zooms is my jam for this trip.

Totally agree that most of the people need less than 50% of the gear you have in your bag. If I bring as many gears as you do it would surely break my back.

Second and last comment (hopefully!) : it's amazing how many cables and adapters one needs to travel with camera gear. I can't believe it every time I pack my stuff...

Hi Roman. I like you. You're talking gear but not trying to make us buy stuff we don't need. If only more YTbers could be like you...

Thank you

Very informative

You fit an iPad and a 14” MBP in your backpack? Wow

Roman, I'm interested in getting your London guide, but I have a question. Do u explain how to get to the places u feature by public transport or rely on driving/Uber, etc.? Thanks.

In your experience what is the performance difference between the Fuji branded batteries/chargers vs the 3rd party?

I didn't know you were a time travel photographer

Curious, if this is your full time job, how do you make money from it? Like do you make promotional travel videos for countries or do you sell your prints etc?

Nice one mate

Thanks for sharing! One question regard the Heroclip: which size is it? Medium or small?

Fujifilm double charger? where can i get one? for the new xt5 batteries i mean ofc. ( whats the name)

Hey Thank you for your informative videos. Do you have an idea how I can best find out what camera will be best for me? I am doing a lot of research but I am really overwhelmed about all the informations and can't really sort it. I am living in Sri Lanka don't have a very high income but I can and have already saved a little money (just saying that I am limited in Budget) I know that buying cheap often means buying twice that's why I want to safe money but I also don't want to spend all my money for things that are unnecessary. I am not completely beginner. I am using my Olympus Pen PL-7 for about 7 years now I have a Zoom Lens (MFT 14-150mm 1;4-5.6) and two Prime (45mm 1:1.8) and (17mm 1:1.8) ... I actually love these cameras and lenses but after 7 years I feel slowly this camera slowly wants her retirement. I want to have two cameras one for vlogging and some video. For me personally my GoPro is enough for that. but I also want a camera and lens who is making nice detailed Videos or little cinematic videos (what will not be possible for the GoPro) but also I love to make pictures street photography but also landscape and nature. It's not my main income and I know I can't have always everything but I really have no idea how to get all the thousands of informations sorted to find the best camera and lenses for me. I would also Use the lenses I already have but no idea if it makes sense. Can maybe someone help me with some ideas how I can make a good decision for my situation? Thanks a lot in advance

I had the impression that you no longer had a rental home in the UK. Where do you store the gear, clothes, and other stuff you don't travel with?

Roman, did I see you at UPW? Congrats!

Just saw the title of this vid and thought "wow. time travel photographer? Roman's really on to something". Alas, I was wrong. (The vid was great btw :) lol)

Any tips on how to set up the Peak Design bag? I just got the V2 and struggling to figure out how I should place my camera and lenses in there without everything rattling around

Did you ever have issues bringing the Manfrotto and/or the Benro tabletop tripod on airplane carry on bags?

Great video thanks! I am moving around a lot and have a similar kit, so I am keen to try this setup. Do you check your 45l backpack or do you try to have everything as carry-on?

I was going to say that you don’t need the clip for the toilet because for hanging your bag you already have your back!! But then I realised… 😂

Do you take your lens hoods with you? I'm always struggling with where to stash those away and my lens never fit that well in the bag with them reversed onto the lenses.

Fuji ❤❤❤

I love the accent! ❤

Fantastic video, dont u have the 56mm? Also are u considering the f2 line up, just bc of size and weight?

Have you thought about the Sigma 18-50 2.8 as a compact zoomlens ? 🤔

Loved the video Roman, I have a really similar kit! Do you edit off the SSD or just use it as backup? I'd imagine if you're travelling all the time you must fill up the 4tb pretty quickly

Hi Roman, as always, great video! I have a question that I would like to hear your perspective. How do you rate the Fuji FX 16-80 for your professional work? Do you not choose it as your standard zoom particularly because f4 is not a wide enough aperture? Or does a different characteristic cause it to lose in favor of the 16-55? Thank you very much!

Great video, Roman! I have a question though. What mid-range zoom lense would u recommend? 16-55 is too heavy for me (and too big). Anything besides that and 18-55?

How do you usually handle airport check-ins? Like, there must be a weight limit for a carry on, right?

Roman, Do you find the Lightroom version on the ipad is a bit frustrating in terms of RAW files? For some reason I cant see thumbnail previews of RAW. Neither natively on the ipad nor in lightroom app. Frustratingly, Lightroom fails to show file names for Raw either. So, I can’t cross reference and basically forced to import the whole SD card to preview any images. Have you had this problem? Or am I missing something in approach to this workflow?

Thanks , you dont use filters ?

Please provide a link to your London guide

Do you have a screen protector on your iPad? I never got one because I am thinking that it effects the image quality? Which one are you using? greetings from Düsseldorf

Hi Roman, I am mixing my photography content with my travels in my main channel, any specific reasons you decided to split? I am new on KZfaq so probably doesn't matter but interested to know. Cheers

I have a 3L Peak Design sling and am surprised how you got all that into there! Wow lol Mine is basically full with just my x-t20 with 18-55mm

I've found a manfrotto mp3 or something similar can cover 80% of what a regular tripod can do, especially in city environments. That 90mm is a banger, loved it every time I've tried it out (my brother has one). Would love to see you take the xf60 for a spin and see what you make of it, such a sleeper of a lens...

That’s too much Roman. I have travelled the world with a tesco bag and some slippers

It would be great to learn more about how you make a living 🙂

My man defo got some shit from his wife about how much gear he has bought 😂

Romain, send me your bag so I may write a review on your bag.

Paused it at eight seconds to urge you to straighten your mirror! ;)

Please post the link for the accessory pouch (not the Sling bag) as well - the one shown at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9qmf91iqZiUf5s.html

A talking body instead of a head, I'm so confused. What is this madness! 😂

Nice

What is a “profesional travel photographer”?

All that fits in a 15L Peak backpack? Seriously?
