GURA GEAR BATAFLAE 32L vs. GURA GEAR KIBOKO Camera Bag Review and Comparison by Joshua Holko

Late last year my good mate Joshua Holko and I were in a nearby nature reserve.  Whilst we were waiting for the light to improve we decided to shoot  a short video of the differences between the original Gura Gear Kiboko and the new Bataflae 32L camera bag.   Given that between the two of us there was the original Kiboko and the new Bataflae 32L and with lighting conditions not what we were looking for it was time to switch the Canon 5D Mk III into video mode and sho0t a couple of short videos.

This is the first video in a series of camera bag review, comparison and use for the new Gura Gear Bataflae 32L.
