I've found my perfect m4/3 Camera Bag (and it's not a camera Bag)

Like almost everyone I've been trying to find ideal Camera bag for my GX80 and GX7 and at last after about 3-4 years I've found it.

I'm travelling around Thailand over the next 6 weeks and want something small that will also carry my other stuff e.g. Phone Charger, Mosquito Spray, Snack, Joby Gorrilapod, iPod Mini and a GX80 with 12-60 and GX-7 with a 20mm plus two spare batteries and a few other things and still have some room left. The cameras fit in there well, not too tight and not too loose.

I didn't want a camera bag (got loads of them!) as they usually look like a camera bag (strangely) but wanted something that looks like an everyday bag.

I found this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721WGWR6/ref=nosim?tag=buy-com-20

Amazon says it's unavailable but it's available through many sources and the link above shows some good photos. It's a current TUMI model.

It's not cheap (THB9,900 here in Thailand) - approx £200 but very well made and I think worth every penny.

It's got a great array of pockets including zipped ones inside for passport etc and a key loop for keys. It's also got a "secret" magnetic pocket which is superb for passports etc at an airport to save zipping and unzipping.

To be honest I cannot fault it and I am extra fussy when it comes to camera bags etc.

It also fits nicely into it's bigger brother which carries all my other stuff like laptop etc for when I'm at an aiport.

My previous bag was a ThinkTank which I loved but these look much smarter and both of these bags don't look like a camera bag as mentioned above.

I must recommend Wheelers Luxury Gifts where I got the Alpha Bravo Briefcase from who were very helpful.

I don't have any connection with TUMI or Wheelers Luxury Gifts apart from being a customer!

Hope this helps others

Kind Regards

p.s. Will try and post photos of my setup later.
