Hi Moose,
I just want to tell you how much I like the new MP 1 ver 2 bag. As owner of the original MP 1 I wasn’t sure if I want to upgrade to the new version. Boy, am I glad I did. It is fantastic. I have taken it to Australia and on small commuter planes with no problems. It is the only bag I will trust my 800 mm lens to be in.

As a wildlife photographer who is a woman, finding the perfect camera bag that I can manage has been a challenge. The MP-1 V2 easily and conveniently holds the wildlife gear I need, including my 600mm lens, three or four smaller lenses, flash, and a couple of camera bodies. The backpack style bag is brilliantly designed and the straps disappear when not needed. And, instead of one large opening, the bag has three separate openings that make accessing specific lenses and cameras much easier and, more discreet. But, most importantly, it fits into the overhead of any airplane. Since I’ve owned the bag, I’ve flown to Australia, Alaska, and Texas with it. Each trip involved flying on both large jets and small regional airplanes with tiny overheads but the MP-1 V2 fit in all easily. Now, the apprehension I used to feel before embarking on any air trip with my camera gear has dissipated because I know the bag will fit in the airplane and I won’t be arguing with flight attendants over it. With all that gear in it, the bag does get heavy but I can still manage to carry it on and off an airplane and walk some distance with it. But, I discovered that it easily attaches to a collapsable wheeled luggage carrier so when I get off an airplane, before walking through the airport, I strap it securely onto a carrier. I love this bag and if an old gal like me can handle it, anyone can!

On our last adventure, there were FIVE in use which is great to see. In conjunction with MindShift and Think Tank (thank YOU GUYS so MUCH!), the MP-1v2, MP-3v2 and MP-7v2 are back and vastly improved. How? Just check out the videos! In a nutshell, full 360 foam, padded shoulder straps and it still fits in the overhead of every plane (except upper deck on 747). Want to buy yours, follow this link and you can order and get it coming to you instantly! We’re incredibly excited to be working with MindShift in bringing back our photopacks.
And how do I pack the MP-1v2 with my gear, here ya go!
