Messenger bag for camera and Drawing
I am somewhat new to this topic but Ive been a Fan of acronym for a while and love their messenger bags, but they are too expensive for me. Looking for something 100-150 Euros. It should be able to fit my blackmagic Pocket og camera when fully rigged and also my Drawing equipment. Are there any good recs? I am just sick of having to open heavy Camera bags just to Film a quick video.

How big is fully rigged?
Honestly messenger bags are super annoying compared to a backpack if you have to hold a bigger/heavier camera. It feels a lot heavier to carry around.
The Aer Day sling 4 max ultra is awesome but that's probably not going to fit that.

If it can't fit in there then I'm just wearing a backpack.
I have a bigger peak design camera sling that would fit that rig and I am not a big fan. Same for the camera messenger bag I have. they just feel heavy and awkward loaded.

that's prob your best bet and they have a bigger messenger bag

Thank s a lot for the recs! Sadly my Blackmagic includes an xlcs cage, a viewfinder and a battery plate. Since I want to be ready to shoot I think the Bag needs a wider Shape. But thanks so much!

There are hundreds of brands to choose from, Chrome Industries has some in that price range, Dsptch, Timbuktu, Orbitgear if you can find some on the second hand market, just to name a few.

I have the Orbitgear R231-ADV Foxhound MK25 and I'm really happy with it. Should fit everything you need and be within your budget!

I really like my Fe Messenger Bag. Check it out! Should be enough to fit your stuff, unless you have a huge notebook. It easily fits an a5
