Why it's in the kit
The Everyday Backpack is the carry-on. The Travel Duffel 35L is the checked bag that packs inside it. When I land I have my full kit in the backpack and a duffel for overflow, clothes, light stands, the PavoTube. It folds into its own pocket, so it costs zero space until I need it.
How I run it
Stays folded inside the Everyday Backpack's laptop compartment on every flight. Used on the return when I've accumulated samples, merch, or extra gear from a shoot. The Tenba BYOB insert goes inside to protect the camera if I have to check it.
Skip it if
If every trip fits in a single carry-on, the duffel is extra bag you never unpack.
Strengths
- + Folds into its own pocket, takes zero space in the backpack
- + Carry and shoulder strap options for heavy loads
Trade-offs
