Geographic Camera Backpack

[Gray] The National Geographic Africa Camera Backpack is a head-turning work-horse. Exceptionally well made, holds my X-T4 with her entire 7-lens all Fuji-glass kit, including the 100-400. Gets tight on space if you want to also carry a laptop and tablet (my go-to), plus nearly a dozen filters. I’m so impressed with the quality of the backpack that I’m adding the Nat Geo medium rucksack to use as my daily around town bag. Together, the two will handle all the kit I have, need, and want to add to my collection. 5-stars

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] The National Geographic Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod is perfect for me, I needed a multifunction tripod for the kind / type of photography that I do. Which is mostly on rocky shorelines and river inlets. First off, being carbon fiber, it is very light weight, plus it is very resistant to the salt environment that I work in. Secondly, the way the legs are mulitfunctional really helps in positioning the camera in the right spot and angle to get the shot that I am after, the ball head also helps with this. The fact that you can change the center shaft so that you can put the camera down low, but still have the stabilizablity of the tripod really helps a lot. I have tried a number of different tripods over the years, and this one by far meets my needs the best.

[Pan & Tilt Head] I got a thing for National Geographic for many years and was fortunate to work with a field team on Gough Island a few years back. This bag is like stylish and my XT1 with 18/55 and 23prime fits with room to spare in the main compartment. An extra battery and charger, sd cards in the smaller outside pouches. I highly recommend this bag and I have the smaller one as well which looks almost identical which is ideal fort the XT1 with 23mm prime lens. Great product and makes a great gift to a photographer - I intent to get another one for a friend from B&H!

[0.35 lb] Perfect way to protect lens in camera backpack.

[Handle] This is perfect if you want to throw a camera into any backpack or bag

[18 x 12.6 x 7"] I sometimes use this for a small camera bag but mostly use it as a general backpack.

[Yes] I recently used the MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack (Charcoal) for a convention in Las Vegas. I carried two a7iv's with 28-200 lenses, a charger, battery, two water bottles, and snacks for over 30 miles of walking and the pack was comfortable the entire time. The backpack's design allowed for easy access to my camera gear and the well-padded straps and back panel made it easy to carry all of my items without any discomfort. One thing I really appreciate about this backpack is that it doesn't have the normal overtly sleek tech look to it, but has more of an outdoorsy vibe which is nice and can help you not stand out or look like a target for tech thieves. Overall, I highly recommend the MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack for anyone in need of a durable and comfortable backpack for carrying camera gear and other essentials.

[Yes] I bought this bag with the intention for using it with my newly bought mirrorless camera and as a secondary diaper bag (my wife already has a diaper bag but it occasionally gets quite heavy so this backpack is used to store my camera + share the load for the baby stuff). The ability to structure the inner compartments is extremely useful - I can comfortably fit my 13" macbook air, 11" ipad pro, a Fujifilm mirrorless with 1 zoom lens + 1 prime lens, toys, diapers, bottles, snacks etc. It is somehow not as spacious as the 20L Everyday Backpack / Backpack Zip but it is more than sufficient for my needs. It is also a great looking backpack.

[Handheld Only] while still having a camera backpack, the design looks discrete enough to pass as a regular backpack

[0.275 lb] Backpack is well made. Holds my camera & lenses. Happy with purchase.
