I decided to buy My New K&F Concept 32L Camera Backpack #camerabackpack


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to purchase a new bigger size camera backpack. After checking around, I thought the K&F Concept fit the kind of backpack I wanted. After owning the Nikon Z8, I've bought more accessories for it. That's why, I thought, getting a bigger 32L would be useful especially, for travel.

Well, it didn't disappoint. It has two top hard cases. One, at the top and the other near the base. It's good because I'm putting my camera inside the sling bag provided for easy access. I can take the whole bag out or just take out the camera.

There's space beside the sling bag when I put it in horizontally. I use the pads provided to create a section for my top handle and field monitor. Now, I have everything in one place. Currently, I'm using the 28mm lens. If I want to change a lens, it'll be inside the top side of the bag.

I can also put my camera on the top side. Especially, if I'm using the 50-250mm lens. Which is obviously longer. It won't fit inside the sling bag. The reason is, I have the wheel handle on the left side. One of the reasons I like the bag is because you can improvise. 


Yesterday, I decided to redo the topside compartments with the pads provided. I needed a flat space for my pouch. I bought it separately as I thought, I could put all the loose items in it for quick access. The backpack has many pockets but it'll be for other things.

I plan to use the backpack when traveling to other countries. I bring luggage but that's mainly for clothes and maybe some souvenirs. My family sometimes uses my extra luggage space for their souvenirs. lol. They like to shop while I'm into taking photos and videos. 


When I got the Nikon Zfc, I brought it along to Hatyai Thailand for a week's vacation. It was a total blast. You can watch the video here. The Zfc is a great camera to bring along. It's not heavy. If you bought it with the 28mm SE edition it's a good lens for street photography and videography.

I mainly use the 28mm lens. Once in a while, I'll use the 50-250mm when I need to zoom. A zooming lens gives you that flexibility. For me, traveling is like a job. I'm more interested in taking photos and videos than relaxing and enjoying the vacation.


I do enjoy the experience though. I had great fun there and enjoyed myself taking photos and videos. That's also part of why I decided to get the Nikon Z8. The camera is a hybrid for photography and videography. I'm interested in learning to make cinematic videos. 

Now that I have built my camera rig with the Nikon Z8, I can't wait to try it out. I won't be able to use the field monitor or the top handle all the time. The cage, side wheel, and hand straps will help with stability. I also learned from some of the mistakes I made mostly during taking videos.

I've learned and improved a lot and have done some practice videos. Check it out on my channel!

NIKON Z8 | CINEMATIC SHORT | LIFE IS RANDOM #nikonz8 #cinematic #lifeisrandom


(All links will open up in a new tab)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm loving my new Nikon Z8. I just made another 'Cinematic' video using the Z8. At first, I didn't want to say that it's cinematic but after a while, and watching it repeatedly, it is cinematic. Watch it and tell me what you think. I'm still learning to master the camera.

The more videos I make, the more I'll learn. If you see some noisy parts, I didn't realize it while filming. Later on, I discovered that recording in N-Log you still need to do some settings. I decided to include the videos as it would look kinda interesting.


Someone commented that my video did look interesting. Lol. He also asked me what lens I was using. I told him my primary lens was the 50-250mm Nikkor Z dx. It is my favorite lens as I can zoom between 50 to 250mm. I want to get the latest 28 to 400mm.

I love using a zoom lens. But, after making some videos, I want to try using prime lenses. My favorite is the 28mm. I also have a Viltrox 13mm and an AstrHori 50mm lens. Nikon has some new lenses that I'm interested in. If they're expensive, I'll look at other third parties.


As I've said, currently I'm using the 50-250mm lens. Now that I've done several videos, I should try a different range of lenses. See, which one will make a better video or which one I like. Using my Nikon Zfc with the 28mm makes me realize that 28mm is my favorite.

I discovered that the 28mm is best for close-up. Most of the videos I took were close-ups. When using the 50-250mm, I had to re-adjust my distance many times. Although, even when I can go nearer, I prefer zooming. Anyway, I feel like, I'm slowly learning to use my personal preferences and style.


The most important thing is that I'm enjoying the process. I'm learning to take videos with N-Log and using the latest video editing software, Davinci Resolve. Luckily, they have a free version. I might buy the full version, down the line.

I don't use Adobe or Lightroom since you have to pay monthly. I don't mind paying a one-time fee for a full version like the old days. Why should I pay a monthly payment for the same things? Unless I'm a pro and earning money, I might consider it. 


I have finally got myself a camera cage and other accessories. It's mainly because of my budget. I would have bought a gimbal if I had the money. Also, it's better since, I'll be using a camera monitor. A gimbal would be a hassle with the camera fit on it, to bring around.

On a holiday, I usually take more photos than videos. If I use a gimbal, it'll be weird to do photography. Using a cage will be much better. And, if I want to take videos, I can see better with the monitor. That's my take anyway. I'll see how it goes on my next travel.


I took this picture using my Nikon Z8, 50-250mm lens. jpeg format edited in Nikon Nx studio. I like it. What do you think?
