Okay guys here it is direct action fox trots
0:10
This is their lumbar waist bag, waist pack. But it does have a shoulder strap. It's probably comparable in size to, I would say, the Maxpedition Sabercat
0:25
Sabercat, but a little bit cheaper. There's the belts folded into the back
0:35
This is very well padded right right here. Quarter inch padding. Ventilated material
0:48
The belt comes out. And there's a pocket on each one. laser-cut molly so you can add pouches strap is removable
1:06
side pocket here I think they say this is a water bottle pocket but that's
1:14
pushing it this thing is small so I don't think you're going to get many water bottles into that except maybe a standard grocery store size water bottle you know
1:23
just kind of the ones that you buy at the store. There's a gas station
1:29
Another side pouch over here. Laser Cut Molly. There's a small mesh pocket in there
1:38
I have a headlamp. There a keykeeper which I not using right now
1:50
Front pocket is Radman panel, which has pen loops, long pocket on the back, runs the width of this pocket with a Velcro closure in the middle
2:08
small padded hooded or a flap pocket right here we'll put a bit sorry I'm trying to do this one-handed so this is not ideal
2:30
using my iPhone instead of my good camera so that's same quality
2:38
Open it up, mesh lid pocket here. Look inside. The entire bag is lined in Velcro
2:49
The fuzzy side of Velcro so you can attach holsters or other organizing pouches
2:56
There's a back padded pocket here that's about the size of a standard iPad 3, the older ones
3:03
Flip this around so you can see it. More Belcro
3:13
I've got a Nikon, D-5500, telephone lens, and then my road, shotgun mic in the middle
3:23
and it holds all of those three things easily plus there still room to put you know an iPad or a pistol or something back here if you wanted to So what I using this bag for is my dedicated camera bag when I travel
3:38
because I don't really have a decent camera bag and I need one. And this holds all the gadgets and
3:44
cords and little things that I need plus my gear. It's padded at the bottom like a camera bag
3:52
but it's also versatile enough that I can use it as a shoulder bag to put an iPad in
3:57
or I could use it to put my pistol in if I needed to conceal carry it in a bag
4:03
So it's a lot of different ways I can use this bag
4:08
It's not just a camera bag. It's much more than that. And this color is Storm Grey, which is pretty comparable to Wolf Gray
4:22
that a lot of the companies are starting to produce them. I know Max Edition came out with McRae
4:31
Of course, there's a bungee cord on top so you can put a jacket or something
4:35
This is really long. I'm probably going to cut this down. I don't know why they have it quite this long
4:41
To me it's not necessary. It's just going to get in the way, so I'm going to probably chop it off about there
4:46
Because I really don't see myself putting much on the top of this
4:51
a really light jacket and that's it. Of course there's a really nice grab handle
5:02
Carrying it And the shoulder strap has a really nice grippy spongy kind of material rubberized so it going to hold on to your shoulder when you carrying this thing It nice Everything about this bag is quality
5:24
I haven't found anything wrong with it. I mean, the materials are top-notch
5:28
It's Cordura. It's XYZ zippers. You know, the sewing is perfect. It's, you know, comparable in line with Maxpedition
5:40
and all the other top line tactical nylon manufacturers. You know, check them out. Direct Action has some really unique gear
5:51
They don't have a lot of products, which is probably good. They have, I think, three backpacks, two messenger bags, and then this lumbar pack, and that's it
6:01
So, for their American distribution. So that's, you know, a very small line, but very unique products
6:09
Lots of color combinations too. O.D. Green. Ranger Green. Shadow gray. They do the Cryptic Highlander in Mandrake
6:21
I think they do multicam in some stuff. Black. So I think they even do a cryptic, the snow camo
6:33
And even a Polish military camo. The company is Polish, by the way
6:39
but check them out direct action great company great product I'm very impressed with this bag so far
6:47
it's going to be serving me very well this year as I travel and shoot video and you know
6:52
photography for you guys I'm impressed talk to you later
