What our 2 camera backpacks hold
For a camera backpack for travel, our canvas camera backpack, the city 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 works with a DSLR, a mirrorless or compact camera or a camcorder. A side attachment holds a tripod or a monopod, a laptop gets its own compartment, and a buckled flap and discreet pockets add anti-theft protection. It holds 20 to 35 liters, measures 28 x 20 x 46 cm (11 x 7.9 x 18.1 in) and weighs about 1.53 kg (3.4 lb). Its waxed canvas is described as waterproof, and it has no rain cover.
For a camera backpack for hiking, the second style, our waterproof camera backpack, holds 20 liters in light, waterproof nylon. Its padded photo compartment gives you 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 trekking poles or a jacket. It takes a hydration bladder, measures 27 x 17 x 49 cm (10.6 x 6.7 x 19.3 in) and weighs 1.3 kg (2.9 lb).
How do you choose a camera backpack?
Start with your gear: the number of camera bodies and lenses, chargers, batteries. A modular camera 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 items.
A city or a hiking camera backpack?
Around town and on trips, a low-key camera backpack with a laptop compartment looks like an ordinary bag and protects your gear on public transit. On a hike, look for a hip belt, a ventilated back, a tripod or pole attachment and rain protection.
Quick access and protection
A side opening lets you take your camera out without setting 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, keeping in mind that a water-repellent finish protects against a light shower and that a rain cover covers the whole bag.
For a travel bag without a camera compartment, see the travel backpacks collection, and for walking, the hiking backpacks collection.
