Manfrotto Backpack Frontloader M PL

The Manfrotto PRO Light Frontloader camera backpack M is a professional camera bag specifically designed to provide unparalleled gear protection to fit the preference and workflow of any professional photographer or filmmaker.

For professional photographers and filmmakers working on assignments, the camera bag that carry and protect their cameras are equally crucial in making the creative process happen. The PRO Light backpacks usher in the all-new M-Guard‚Ñ¢ Protection System specifically designed and laboratory tested to guarantee the highest level of protection and shock resistance especially on areas of the bag where protection is most crucial. M-Guard‚Ñ¢ dividers are made of high-density EVA foam that provide exceptional shock absorption while maintaining a super slim profile . In addition, the SAS-TEC, a viscoelastic memory foam and multi-impact endurance, adds a structural reinforcement on the base of the backpack provide extra shock absorbing properties. For an even better worry-free experience, a TSA padlock can be used to secure the steel wire puller to close the main compartment.

The PRO Light Frontloader offers a fully padded gear compartment with customizable interiors that can be accessed through a front access door. A secondary single side door offers quick access to most used gear that can fit a full frame camera without portrait grip with an attached 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with a service pocket on the interior panel for crucial small accessories. It features a side tripod attachment, a checkpoint friendly 15” laptop compartment, adjustable chest and waist straps, along with a DuoFace sun and rain cover for moisture and heat protection.

A compartment with multiple pockets for small accessories is positioned on the front to give you fast access to all your working accessories.

This backpack is built to keep professional gear protected while providing optimal comfort even in long periods of carrying . The harness system not only distributes weight evenly from the shoulders to the waist and hips but also maximizes breathability thanks to a contoured EVA mesh panel.

The backpack is made of water-repellant RipStop nylon/polyester fabric with reinforcement yarns to achieve a balance of light weight, unique look, and high capacity performance. Duraflex hardware, YKK zippers, hypalon reinforcement, trims and pullers make the pack both ultra-lightweight and strong enough to withstand the most intense use to ensure long-term protection for large amounts of gear. It also conveniently comes with a DuoFace sun/rain cover, which provides extra protection in rough weather and reflects sunlight, keep gear cool and dry all day long.
