Field Review: NomadPack 35L — The Traveling Vlogger’s Everyday Backpack
Hook: For traveling creators, the right pack is a productivity tool. The NomadPack 35L balances capacity, comfort, and quick-access organisation — but is it the right pick for your Yutube.online workflow?
What we tested
Over four weeks, we used the NomadPack 35L across city shoots, a coastal weekend, and a two-day trail test. For an independent review of the pack we referenced product notes at Review: NomadPack 35L — Lightweight Adventure Backpack for Urban and Wild Trails.
Practical strengths
- Access design: Side zipper allows tripod and quick lens swaps.
- Comfort: Load distribution is stable for day-long carry.
- Weather protection: Removable rain cover that stashes cleanly.
- Versatility: Converts between camera daypack and carry-on-friendly organizer.
Constraints for creators
The pack is excellent for compact rigs, but larger cinema kits won’t fit. If you regularly shoot with bigger stabilizers or multi-camera kits, it’s a short-haul pack rather than a full production bag.
On-the-road workflow tips
- Pre-pack daily essentials in a modular insert; keep batteries and SD cards in a labeled pouch for fast swaps.
- Use a small attachable pouch for mobile charging and credit-card style essentials.
- When shooting in mixed environments, reserve a quick-access pocket for hygiene and comfort items (snack, bandage, sunscreen).
Travel and logistics
If you travel internationally, pairing the NomadPack with a rolling case for equipment that can’t be carried on simplifies customs and reduces risk. For broader moving planning and arrival checklists, consult How to Move Abroad: A Step-by-Step Arrival and Settling Checklist.
Who should buy it
Recommended for solo creators, travel vloggers, and documentary shooters using mirrorless rigs. If you need a full rig for long-form documentary shoots, consider larger alternatives.
Alternatives and related gear
Pair the pack with a lightweight tripod and a weather-sealed lens kit. If you’re also interested in workflow organization and note-taking for location shoots, see tools like RoamLite discussed at Review: RoamLite — A Lightweight Zettelkasten for Busy Creators.
Verdict
The NomadPack 35L is a very good all-rounder for creators who value mobility and quick access. It’s not for heavy studio setups, but for the majority of on-the-go filming and city-to-trail content, it’s an excellent companion.
