Manfrotto Hybrid M III Reviews

What a great bag.

By Scott

Fits under airline seat, allows me to pack my X2D II, 35-100mm lens, MacBook Air 13”, and all my electronic cables/chargers/etc with some room to spare for my 20-35mm if I want to take it along too. The ability to carry it multiple ways (handle, shoulder or backpack style) is super and the idea of replacing the provided shoulder strap with a peak design camera strap (providing dual purposes) works well. Love the placement of the pockets and zippers, and the water bottle holder, tripod carry or trekking poles options. My favorite travel bag for carryon with my camera and electronics.

Everyday carry

My favorite everyday carry bag. Every other camera bag I own is Peak Design, but they have yet to make a hybrid bag like this one! The fact that it effortlessly goes from satchel to backpack is so convenient. I switched out the removable shoulder strap for a Peak Design Slide so I always have a camera strap on me. Yesterday I walked all over the city comfortably carrying a mirrorless, 2 lenses, water bottle, iPad, smallrig 99 vmount battery.
