Manfrotto Backpack Active Advanced3

Manfrotto Backpack Active Advanced3

The everyday camera and laptop backpack for photo gear and personal belongings.

The Manfrotto Advanced Active Backpack III is designed for both DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras and your laptop. The Active backpack has a dedicated storage space for personal items on top and photo gear at the bottom compartment with quick front access.

Its spacious interior can hold a DSLR or mirrorless camera with up to 3 lenses.

The padded camera compartment features the brand-new Manfrotto M-Guard‚Ñ¢ Protection System which is made of special high-density EVA foam which provides exceptional shock absorbing response with a super slim profile. The customizable folding patterns allow maximum versatility to fully protect camera gear while maximizing the use of space. In the top compartment, there is plenty of room for personal items as well, including a laptop compartment which can hold up to a 14'' laptop.

This bag offers extreme versatility. After removing the protective dividers, the upper and lower compartments can be connected and become an instant travel daypack. You can carry your compact tripod such as your favorite Joby Gorillapod with the side strap, and the padded shoulder straps along with the adjustable chest straps provide maximum carrying comfort and weight distribution.

All external fabric are treated making the bag water repellant which can be further reinforced by the supplied raincover in case of adverse weather conditions.
