- PFAS-free textiles – Updated materials throughout
Removable Camera Storage Included
The Medium DSLR Core Unit v2 has a protective EVA shell and padded, adjustable dividers for organising a gripped camera and several lenses. It’s included, so the pack is ready for photography straight away, and you can swap in a different Core Unit later as your kit changes.
Quick Access To Your Equipment
The larger side opening reaches the Core Unit without opening the main compartment. For a camera you want immediately to hand, three Capture Clip mounts carry it outside the pack.
Room For Outdoor Gear Too
Above the camera compartment, the roll-top takes clothing and personal items. A tripod or water bottle sits in the fixed external holders, and separate mounts carry trekking poles and an ice axe, keeping bulky gear out of the main compartment.
Comfortable Carrying
Air mesh across the harness, rear panel and belt keeps heavier loads comfortable, and four torso settings tailor the fit. A belt pocket gives quick-grab storage on the move, and the shoulder-strap pocket includes a pen sleeve.
Ready For Travel
The stowable luggage pass-through slides over compatible wheeled-luggage handles and tucks away when not needed. The sleeve fits laptops up to 16 inches, and the rain cover’s taped seams add protection in wet weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fits in the included Core Unit?
A gripped mirrorless or DSLR body up to 17cm tall, with configurable dividers for lenses and accessories. Exact combinations depend on equipment dimensions.
Can it carry a 600mm F4 lens attached to a camera?
Not with the included Medium Core Unit. Swap in the optional XL50 RST Core Unit, which carries a camera with an attached 600mm F4 lens.
Should I choose the X40 or X50 Starter Kit Medium?
Choose the X50 for 50L capacity (against 40L) and a wider torso-adjustment range of approximately 9cm (against 7cm). The X40 is the more compact option with the same included Medium DSLR Core Unit v2.
