My review of the new Mindshift Rotation 180 (which has just gone onto Kickstarter) has gone up on Shotkit.com.

The first Mindshift Rotation 180 was funded by Kickstarter and released in 2013. Seven years later, it’s time for a new and improved version: Introducing the Mindshift Rotation 180 v2.0.

For those who haven’t seen the Mindshift Rotation 180 before, it’s a series of hiking-style bags using a unique concept with a camera cube that rotates around your waist to make it accessible at the front.

This means you don’t have to take the bag off your back or un-loop one arm to access the camera compartment.

The idea of not having to take off your backpack to access your gear is highly appealing conceptually. The question is how some of these “good ideas” work in practice. I guess that’s why we’re here with this review!

There are three versions of camera backpack available for the Mindshift Rotation 180:

• Rotation 22L
• Rotation 34L
• Rotation Pro 50L+

Many users have hiking gear in mind when it comes to these styles of bags. That’s why we took a photo at a mountain – just so you can imagine yourself climbing to the top of a beautiful summit, pretending every muscle in your body didn’t hurt to get there.
