Small Mirrorless Core Unit Included

The included Small Mirrorless Core Unit provides configurable, padded storage for a non-gripped mirrorless or DSLR camera with 3–5 lenses, including an unattached 70-200mm F2.8. Its EVA construction provides structure and shock protection, while the complete unit can be removed or exchanged as your equipment needs change.

Quick Access To Camera Gear

A larger side opening provides direct access to the Core Unit, so you can reach camera equipment without opening the main compartment. Three Capture Clip mounting positions also provide a choice of external attachment points when you want to keep a camera immediately accessible.

Carry Outdoor Gear Externally

Dedicated exterior holders accommodate a tripod or water bottle, with separate mounts for trekking poles and an ice axe. This keeps larger outdoor equipment outside the main storage area, leaving the internal space available for camera equipment, clothing and other essentials.

Practical For Travel

A stowable luggage pass-through fits over compatible wheeled-luggage handles, while the dedicated sleeve accommodates laptops up to 14 inches. The included colour-matched rain cover features taped seams for additional protection in wet weather.
