A camera backpack protects your camera and lenses while leaving your hands free, in town, while travelling or on a hike. This selection brings together a city and travel bag that also carries a laptop, and a hiking bag that keeps the camera within reach as you walk.

What our 2 camera backpacks hold
Our canvas camera backpack, the city and travel style in waxed canvas and cowhide leather, has a modular photo compartment with padded dividers for 1 camera body, 2 lenses and a charger, and suits a DSLR, a mirrorless or compact camera or a camcorder. A side attachment holds a tripod or a monopod, a laptop has its own compartment, and a flap with buckles and discreet pockets add anti-theft protection. It holds 20 to 35 litres, measures 28 x 20 x 46 cm and weighs about 1.53 kg. Its waxed canvas is described as waterproof, and it has no rain cover.
For hiking, the second style, our waterproof camera backpack, is a 20-litre camera backpack rucksack in light, waterproof nylon. Its padded photo compartment gives quick access to a DSLR without stopping, and it has a built-in rain cover, a padded hip belt, a ventilated padded back, side pockets and loops for poles or a jacket. It takes a hydration bladder, measures 27 x 17 x 49 cm and weighs 1.3 kg.
How do you choose a camera backpack?
Start from your kit: the number of camera bodies and lenses, chargers, batteries. A modular photo compartment with padded dividers adapts to a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. Then check on the product page what the compartment can hold and how much room is left for your personal belongings.
A city or a hiking camera backpack?
In town and while travelling, a discreet camera backpack with a laptop compartment looks like an ordinary bag and protects your kit on public transport. On a hike, look for a hip belt, a ventilated back, a tripod or pole attachment and protection from the rain.
Quick access and protection
A side opening lets you take the camera out without putting the bag down, and an opening against your back keeps it out of reach of prying hands. For rain, read the protection stated on the product page, bearing in mind that a water-repellent treatment protects against a light shower and that a rain cover covers the whole bag.
For a travel bag without a photo compartment, see the travel backpacks collection, and for walking, the hiking backpacks collection.
