Great for camera storage

I bought this to store my Sony A6400 and lenses. I've got 5 lenses in there with the camera body and still have room for a couple more lenses and some miscellaneous gear. The handles make it really convenient to take in and out of a shelf. Highly recommend!

Nice Bag, Wrong Size.

Good concept. But too small for what I needed them for.

Favorite run and gun pack

I've used this pack from Alaska to Argentina, across the two American continents and south Africa, it's my absolute favorite camera pack for rapid access to my gear.

Worth the investment

This backpack was well worth the investment. My biggest complaint with most backcountry-style backpacks is that you have to take them off, or at least swing them to one arm, in order to access your gear. This backpack enables me to bring the gear that I want, and actually USE IT. Shot would look better with a different lens? 20, maybe 30 second swap.

Into It

I did a zencastr meeting without it and asked the other person if I sounded OK and they were polite about it and said yeah, and then I plugged this in and asked again and they said, oh yeah that's super crisp

Incredible On The Fly Bag

This bag is incredible for the on the fly photographer. Durable material, keeps your gear dry, especially with the rain cover. The Rotation compartment is a game changer for me. As a ski/outdoors photographer/videographer, this feature allows me to stay on the go and get access my essential gear quickly and efficiently without stopping. The magnetic closure on the Rotation compartment is also clutch if I want to continue to move around with this compartment in front of you like a ***** pack. Small pockets inside the Rotation compartment are also nice for extra items such as filters, batteries and lens caps. Water bottle side pouch is really clutch too. The back access panel is good for quick access to other gear, and still plenty of room in the top of the pack for other personal gear, such as extra clothes/snacks/etc. Solid pack, 10/10 would recommend for fast paced photo/video creators. -I@n

Mind Shift

At first I thought the Stash Master Pro was way bigger than I needed. Darn good thing I got it as it is now stuffed full. Those little loops on the sides were put to good use with an old strap I had and now it's an easy carry bag. My opinion is that this puppy is going to be in service for a good while. Too bad: this form doesn't allow for the pictures I took to accompany this review. Jake

Awesome products!

I keep my lenses at home in the Stash Master and when I travel, the Stash Master is easy to pack and my lenses are protected and organized in a compact device. Highly recommended!

RODE NT MINI USB MIC

I use a lot ZOOM for video conferences and tutorials. And I tried probably 10 different microphones. Until this thing appears to me in a search for the best usb mic. But not only the mic was the one who caught my attention, the free software is just amazing. This mic is absolutely a winner; size, appearance, weight, quality, in addition to the software. Then you have a professional microphone experience for 99 bucks.

Great backcountry camera and gear hauler

I have several Think Tank bags because they are well thought out and engineered. The Rotation 50L is a real backpack for the adventurous photographer..pro or amateur. Load stability is on par with any "real" backpacks out there (Dana Designs/ Mystery Ranch owner here). The rotation design is very innovative and does fix the classic problem of "shot hesitation" due to the work involved with unloading the more traditional designs out there. Camera accessibility and gear hauling! What a concept.

Must have addition to the Rotation 50L

With this added organizer I can safely carry another DSLR or mirrorless body with a few lenses and accessories easily accessible through the zipper on the back or the top access. Highly recommend picking one up.

Excellent pack for the traveling professional

After using the 50L as my primary camera pack for 6 days in the mountains of Montana, I am extremely pleased with the functionality of the pack and it's ability to comfortably carry 20+ pounds of gear all day while hiking. I had a Sony A7S3 with a 24-105 f4 lens in the waist pack and a 5DM4 with a 100-400 in the stash pro on my back. Filters and what not also in the stash pro. Tripod on the side, water bladder in the designated side pocket, and a ton of extra things/snacks stashed all around the pack. Plenty of pockets but I recommend getting the stash pro if you can. It's really adds to the packs organization. I will admit I was skeptical to how the waist pack would feel and work, but it did not twist my shirt or pants which was my main concern. It swings around easily but be careful with your right shoulder. I was a little over eager and tried to bring the waist pack around without loosening the waist belt and felt a pull in my shoulder, but that's user error. The stitching looks to be high quality as does the rip stop material. I previously worked for a backpack company and I felt confident this pack was constructed well. It should last many years in the field. I'm sure there are more positive things to say, but I'll end it with this... Run and gun photographers will likely feel the same as I do should they choose to use this pack.

Impressive!

I was a long-term user of the previous version and loved the design, the rotation system genuinely speeds up my workflow. This new improved series really seems to have perfected the design. Everything is incredibly well thought out making the pack super comfortable and capable of carrying seriously heavy loads comfortably, it's easily more comfortable than any other camera pack I've used to date. Stacks of storage options to keep everything organised and the improved rotation system with magnetic closure and a smoother transition is an improvement on the already great original. Highly recommended!

Make a good thing better!

After having set up the new Rotation 50L, I found it very comfortable. It needs some time to figure out how to get a Nikon D5 or D6 (with RRS-L-bracket) and attached 70-200 (2.8) into the belt pack - but after fiddling around for a while (due to the magnetic lid) - it works. Hight of the belt pack has been improved and is now a much better fit for larger Pro-DSLR bodies. The new Stash Master pro is also a great improvement. Holds my 500mm or my 200-500mm without any problem. Access has also been improved. Is it comfortable to carry, yes a great improvement over my old Rotation 180 that will hopefully soon find a new owner. In combination with my Backlight Elite 45 - I´m satisfied. For different purposes they deliver a great job. Well done, you folks. Can I recommend it - yes, definitely.

Nice mini podcast microphone

The quality is good and the sound is fine. I used it on a table with my computer and haven't had significant sounds from tapping the table/computer.

Best USB microphone ever!

Best USB mic I have ever had. Blue microphones are garbage compared to this. Have had professional voiceovers comment on how clear it was and how true the audio sounded. I hope it lasts a long time because it is just right. I have used Rode for video camera mics, and have always been pleased, but they nailed it on this one.

Great budget mic

It's a wonderful microphone, picks up everything with perfect clarity, and I can sound like I'm talking normally with anywhere I can put it on my desk. The USB is a nice touch, as well as the whole thing being super nice and heavy, built completely out of metal and high quality plastics. If you have 100 bucks laying around and need a new mic, go for this one.

It produces the degree of quality I would expect from a microphone in its price range. It is an adequate consumer-grade microphone.

Perfect choice!

It is a perfect choice! My school recommends this product for instrument students. At the beginning, I bought it at B&H. I waited for two months, no one told me how long should I waited. Finally, I gave up and chose Adorama. I picked up the product that afternoon. It's perfect experience! Thank you!

Rode Microphones NT-USB Mini Studio-Quality USB Microphone

The Rode NT-USB Mini is a USB microphone designed for podcasters and professional streamers. This compact microphone enables broadcast-quality sound thanks to its high-quality condenser capsule.

The included stand not only stabilizes the Rode NT-USB Mini but also isolates it from structurally-induced vibrations and noises, ensuring a cleaner sound. Its compact design makes it ideal for YouTube videos and Twitch streams, while its USB-ready feature lets you send audio directly to computers and laptops without needing dedicated audio interfaces.
