đ Real Review: PGYTECH OneMo Travel Backpack 35L
Not just a backpack.
This is a mobile base station designed for creators who live between flights, photoshoots, and editing sessions.
đŠ Size & Capacity
Letâs get one thing straight: this is a big backpack.
Base capacity: 35L
Expandable front pocket: +15L
Total storage: up to 50L â more than enough for camera gear, drones, laptop, clothes, accessories, and even a gimbal.
But because of its size, this backpack is not considered cabin-compliant on many airlines.
đ 3-in-1 Versatility
This is where the OneMo shines. Itâs a 3-in-1 system:
Main backpack
Removable waist/shoulder bag (5L)
Duffel carry mode with side handles
Perfect for adapting to different setups: long travel days, quick location shoots, or minimal city runs.

What We Love
Expandable for real-world needs: The 15L front compartment gives you that extra room for clothes, food, or unexpected gear.
Modular interior: With customizable padded dividers and a removable tech pouch, you can reshape your internal layout in seconds.
Quick-access points: Side, top, and rear openings let you grab your camera or drone without digging through everything.
Built for rough use: Water-resistant materials, YKK zippers, scratch-resistant surfaces, and a built-in rain cover make it ready for any location.
Smart details: Battery pouches with charge indicators (red/green), hidden AirTag pocket, anti-theft zippers. They really thought of everything.
â ïž Keep in Mind
Not cabin-size compliant: Especially if fully packed and expanded, this will likely need to go in the overhead bin or even be checked, depending on the airline.
Hefty build: 1.9kg (4.2 lbs) empty, and around 2.6kg (5.7 lbs) fully loaded with inserts â itâs not lightweight.
Bulky when expanded: Some users find the front expansion compartment a bit floppy or hard to open quickly when in a rush, but is ok!
đŹ Final Thoughts
If you travel with multiple camera bodies, lenses, a drone, a laptop, and a couple of outfits for short shoots or creative work trips â the OneMo 35L offers exceptional flexibility and storage. Itâs built by people who understand creators' real needs.
But if you're looking for something super compact or compliant with strict cabin-size rules, this may not be the one-bag-solution for every flight.
Personally, I find it very convenient for my van trips. It really fits a lot of stuff inside.
